    Down another 1.8lbs this week. Also lost 1/4" off my waist and underbust. Nothing off my hips yet really though. That's where I need it most. If I continue at this rate I will have lost around 8lbs in january. If I had started on the 1st instead of 5th I would've had a better chance at meeting the goal. Not giving up though!

    I have one more pound to go!

    Pope - I'm 38, barely reach 5'5 height-wise, and I'm a size 12/14. Doing very low carb (under 20 a day) and staying away from alcohol. I try to exercise everyday - mostly cardio but am starting to introduce light weight/resistance training.

    I joined but forgot to post my weigh-in. I started at 199, on January 6th. I'm now 193. I'm trying to exercise more. Ohio weather makes it tough to run outside but I workout to DVD's indoors. My biggest change, however, is not consistent exercise - it's trying to adopt healthy eating habits. I lowered my daily goal (it was set to maintain weight, instead of lose weight) and no longer count calories lost due to nursing. I am also now using a Fitbit and avoiding fast food, chocolate, alcohol and sugar. The biggest temptation is the sugar and I do have a little but find that my cravings are under control when I cut it out completely. Good luck everyone! This is a great challenge. I don't think I'll make it but I hope to be close and continue after January.

    Weekly weigh in...only lost a pound this week but my measurements went down a decent amount. Lost right around 3/4" each in from my hips, waist and underbust. I was trying really hard to do one of the 30 day squat challenges but got off track this weekend. Plus I don't think I'll be able to do 175 in a day so quickly. My knee doesn't like it so much lol. I'm going to try to keep doing at least 50 a day though. Some is better than nothing :)

    I lost 6 lbs from Jan 5th through today. My goal when I started back up on the 5th was to loose somewhere between 10 and 20 lbs. I don't have an end date in mind for it, just to have a steady loss. When I was logging faithfully before I stopped loosing at around 145. My goal right now is another 7 to 10 lbs. Gonna keep doing my best!
