    I'm in!

    Joined MFP Weight: 197
    Current Weight: 180
    Labor Day Goal: 170 (realistic) 160 (stretch goal)
    Pounds Per Week to Lose: 1.2
    Eventual Goal: 135

    Things are extremely hectic right now for me. We just moved last weekend and I just started school. Money is extremely tight after the move and I'm really stressed about that (in fact, I had my very first migraine yesterday.. I'm guessing from stress?) and I haven't hit the gym in over a week. I figure with how much work I did last weekend I kinda made up for it, but still. I need to get back on track. I hope this challenge will help!!
