    As of yesterday, I am down 28.2 since Aug. 7th, just after the challenge started!!

    Start weight 168.8
    Current weight 140.6

    I won't be joining the Easter challenge as there is no way I can drop another 20 lbs, but still hoping to lose another 10!

    I didn't keep track of what my starting weight was for this challenge, but I know I've lost more than 20 lbs since it started, so it's been a success. Thank you for the inspiration!

    SW 180
    12/21 - 156 (final weigh in 12/28)

    Total lost so far - 24 pounds yay!!

    Not sure if I can make 20 by Easter as my average has been about 5 pounds per month, but maybe I can make 15 or a few more pounds by then.

    So far that's 11.5 lbs total down. Not as much progress as I would have liked to see in 3-4 months, but I'm seeing changes in other areas, overall fitness, measurements, etc. Plus it's the holidays, I wasn't expecting a huge loss at the last minute. Looking forward to a new challenge with y'all in January! Congratulations and good luck to everyone! :D
