Well, I'm far from goal, but I'm a whole lot closer than I would be if I hadn't tried! I made it about 52% of the way there, more than half way. And I'm in week two of being in Onederland, a very good thing!
April loss: 4 lbs
May loss: 4.6 lbs
June loss: 2.4 lbs
July loss: 1.6 lbs
Total loss: 12.6 lbs
Change in BMI: 33.8 --> 31.7
11.6 lbs to my next goal (my 4th of July goal of 185), which is a BMI of "merely" overweight (29.9). Then I can start working down toward a truly fit weight.
Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories and the support and friendship!0 -
Again I want to say :happy: THANK YOU SO MUCH for setting up this challenge.
I would like to humbly beg you to do another one!! :flowerforyou:
Even though I did not get where I wanted to be, I certainly am better off than I was!
On Sunday June 15 I was only 2.4 from my goal. Then I reverted back to old habits - trying to eat my stress away.

Well, I only lost 2.3 pounds during this challenge. It didn't help that last week was a beach vacation week! My ultimate goal is 125. I'm hoping to get to at least 135 by the end of summer.
Happy 4th everyone!0 -
Well I got back from vacation late last night, so I will not be weighing my self today (for the next week actually) I know it'll be up due to water weight from not eating so stellar over vacation. I'll be sure to post back then to let you know how I faired, though I'm not expecting much of a change.
Thank you to Shmru and Mule for putting this together!! :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Thanks to all that participated, we made a bit of progress--it's never as much as you want but there it is. I had a modest goal but encountered the struggle losing the last 10 pounds, it ain't easy. I will keep trying. Special thanks to Shmu for the IT support, great service and great performance as usual.
See you on MFP--friend me at will.

I'm taking 127 as my final weigh in. Until my swelling goes down(kidney trouble), I can't get an accurate weight. I'm ready for a new challenge and getting back to regular eating and exercise! I hope I can survive the heat of summer!!!0 -
I made it! I managed to lose the last two pounds to meet my challenge goal.
Ill post the full details on Monday.0 -
I actually made it to 163 this week. I'm 10 pounds under my challenge goal which surprised me. I think this week's loss is partly water as I haven't been working out as much.
Thank you so much for this challenge!0 -
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this challenge! It's hard to believe that it's come to an end. Like many, I did not meet my goal, but certainly weigh less than I would have if I had not been accountable to posting my weekly progress!
A much better week...
