    Nice job guys!

    I lost 12 pounds (157 to 145) ! Very pleased because I tried to do something and I actually managed it! Big lesson for me was that it isn't always linear. Some weeks I lost too much, some weeks I lost nothing and some weeks I gained. But in the end, it worked. I think in the past I'd have given up when I saw it wasn't working. The challenge really helped me keep going (- just give it ten weeks and see what happens...). :drinker:

    Well 8lbs shy of my goal. Weather slowed down my running and I did not eat the best so have to just be happy that I did not gain. Ready for this new challenge and to get back on track.

    HI all,

    I just want to start off by telling everyone how proud I am that we stuck it out to the end of the challenge and have seen great results! Everyone should be really proud of themselves and I hope to see you all in the spring to Sumer challenge.

    My starting weight for this challenge was 265.... I was losing at a rate of 10 pounds per month so I set my goal at 240.

    Things did NOT go as planned, and for the last 2 months I have been losing a steady 5lbs per month instead of 10lbs.

    All in all, I am proud to say my finishing weight is 248, therefore; a loss of 17 lbs. I feel great about this number, and hope to lose another 20 pounds in the next challenge.

    I'm also loving how people have noticed the weight that I've lost and someone actually called me skinny yesterday!! I haven't had anyone call me skinny since I was in my late teens (well except my husband but I suspect he lies!! lol!)

    I barely made it to the end of this challenge. It seemed week after week I was not losing, or several times.. I gained! :(. From Aug-Dec I was losing almost easily but from Jan-Mar it was like my body forgot I was watching my food and exercise.

    start- 6Jan: 198.8 lbs, 36.4 BMI
    end- 24Mar: 189.2 lbs, 34.6 BMI

    total loss of only 9.6 lbs.
