    I love this challenge and we can all succeed! I love having short term goals and 5 pounds in one month is totally doable. Anyone and everyone add me for support!

    I'm in! I have lost 41 pounds so far and am 3 sizes down. I have purchased one pair of pants two sizes down from where I started and they are baggy. I told myself (and my husband) that when I have lost a total of 50, I am buying all new clothes. Almost there!

    Sorry for my lateness


    weight
    8/2 192 holding steady

    What I think that helped me was I received a dress that I order for a wedding and I couldn't zip it up all the way :mad:
    So what I did was hung the dress up in my hallway as a constant reminder to watch what I eat and my portion sizes.


    MOTIVATION
    I will zip this dress on AUGUST 30TH :happy:
