Weird to think I was still in the 160s when I started this challenge! I am exactly 10lb off my goal but my goal was always ambitious (it was my goal weight)

    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!

    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.

    Original Starting Weight: 152
    Challenge Starting Weight: 143.3
    Final Challenge Weight: 141

    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!

    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:

    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 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!

    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!
