Good morning to everyone! We are in our 8th week already!! How time flies! We only have 10 more weeks left!! Since this challenge started, I have lost 17 lbs, and I have 17 more to go. Looking at that, not only looks like I'll hit my Christmas goal, but really close to my overall goal! I hope this second half comes off just as easy. How is everyone else doing??

    Woohoo I am not alone!! You are doing a fantastic job! Way to keep up the hard work and show AMAZING progress!!!

    I was afraid everyone had abandoned me when no one checked in last week. :wink: I had a very good week as well. I am down another 1.9 pounds for a total of 15.3 pounds in the last 8 weeks. I definitely think I set my original goal too low now. I look forward to see how much I exceed the 20 pound loss that I originally set.

    September was a bit up-and-down for me, but I've gotten back on track in October! The weight is coming off nicely and I'm hopeful that I will be able to hit my goal--reaching 150 pounds--by Christmas. Even better, though, is looking at the photos I took this morning and comparing them to how I looked right before the Christmas challenge started! The number on the scale is only part of it--when I can see what progress I've made, it's even more amazing.

    Great job!!!! I soooo didn't mean to leave you for a week! I was so busy, hardly had time to workout. I will be here from now on. :)

    After a wobbly week, I am back on target :0) I lost 3lbs this week and now only need to lose 4lbs to hit my chirstmas goal, but I think I will try to lose an extra 7lbs if I hit my goal by the end of October.

    I've done some terrible eating and wimpy tracking lately, but getting back at it again today. So far so good! I have 7 pounds to go to be at goal!
