Hi There!
I joined Round 18 of the Postcard Challenge and won!
This Challenge was exciting to me as the author of Evanston, A Postcard History, published by Arcadia Publishing in 2008. Because I won, the winner of Round 19 will get an extra, special treat! I will be sending an authentic, antique postcard from the 19th century to the next winner!
Ok, here we go! Post your weight as of tomorrow (April 1) and I will make a note of it. In 2 weeks (April 15), post your finishing weight and if you lost the most weight, I will send you a special postcard from Evanston, Illinois. The winner will also get to host the next round!
In round 18, Manda asked for everyone to make some pledges for the next two weeks. I thought that was a great idea, so I'll do the same.
Mine:
60 minutes of exercise minimum 5 days
Strength 3 days
Drink 64oz of water minimum daily :drinker:
Feel free to add me because I'll post a reminder in my status of when to have your final weigh-in.
WE CAN DO THIS! WOOWHOO! :flowerforyou:

Confession time: I failed miserably last week on the eating and exercise front!!! So I'm making a concerted effort this week to knuckle down and get back into the swing of things!
Today was my belated Mother's Day and I ate almost my entire calorie intake in pancakes , for my breakfast!!!! I did get my butt out of bed and walk 5 miles with Leslie Sansone. I'm off on a walk with my family this afternoon then I feel a Zumba and Just Dance 2 sesh will be on the timetable this evening!
Not sure I'll see the 170s at the end of this challenge but I'm determined to get as close as I can!!!!!

Got my butt back to the gym. My weight hasn't moved much, hoping it will melt away this week0 -
Sneaky peek this morning - 180.5lbs!!!!! Whoohoo! I may yet see 170s this time.
Also, weighed myself on the Wii and I'm no longer obese!!!!!! Took me an extra week to reach that mini goal, but I'm there.
Very Happy Bunny :bigsmile:

I have to weigh in early, but I lost two pounds!! I'm down from 160 to 158!! yayyyy . also met my goals by being a lot more active this time around, and by keeping up with my entries. I'll be away for next five days so I can't post my weight on the actual day. Good luck everyone else!! And can the winner post about the next round on here so we can all play again?

Super!! I'll put 211.1lb as my SW.
I was 208.4 yesterday; that makes a 2.7lb loss. I wanted more, but I'm not disappointed. The last few weeks have been crazy at work (accounting firm)! I haven't been eating as good as I should, getting enough sleep or drinking enough water. But I'm just happy with any loss!0
