Age: 34 (until tomorrow)
Height:5'6"

Start Weight (August 1): 127.0
Goal Weight (September 1): 125.0

Weigh-ins (week of...):

Successes/struggles this week: I have 2 lbs. to go to get to my goal weight. I will go into this saying that I am not overweight, but I am just trying to tone up that last little bit. I hope we can get another great mix of people at all stages in their journey so we can help each other :) I have really enjoyed doing these challenges the last few months. It really helps keep me accountable.
