May or may not not hit my intended goal by the end of this challenge, but realized that the ultimate goal is just living a healthier lifestyle and that is something I have definitely achieved and plan on maintaining. I'm on vacation this week, and I still got up extra early in order to get my daily walk in because I love it so much now.

Hope everyone else is having a great week.

I know...I check out your awesome progress when I log into the spreadsheet. I think there are less than 10 of us left filling in the spreadsheet at this point. Hope we all make it to the end!!

Ahh thank you for your kind words! We may be a small group but we are doing it together and that is what matters!

I'll be here until the end! It is motivating to me to know I have to put a number in that spreadsheet every week LOL

I feel the same way!

Very proud to have lost weight during my vacation week. I had a great time and continued to make healthy food choices and remained active (10 miles/day walking and Tai Chi several times). Feeling very optimistic, even if I don't hit my goal exactly by the end of this challenge.

Hope everyone else is having a great week.

Congrats @evesmom2 !!

I included some of my challenge stats at the bottom of my post. One more week until we're done!! I won't reach my original challenge goal, but I knew it was a stretch since it was what I was trying to get to NLT the end of September. Happy with the progress, and glad this challenge was here to keep me accountable.

You have done great @b3achy!!! (What is NLT?)

Thanks...still hoping for at least one more pound, but if I'm PMSing this week, I'll be happy if I maintain

NLT = No later than; Not later than. Sorry for the shorthand.

And I just reread that sentence, and it barely makes sense...my point was that my original challenge goal was really what I'm hoping to get to by the end of September, so it was a stretch to shoot for it at the beginning of Sept...but I like to have a farther target to stretch me. If I make it, great, I did more than I thought I could...if I don't, I'm probably closer to reaching (or just passing) my real goal anyway.

Thanks.... I had no guess as to what NLT was!

I joined the "Lose 40 lbs by Christmas" challenge just to keep me accountable. I think it is going to be a stretch for me, but just having to put the number in every week helps me a lot

Stretching is good, as long as you don't get too hung up on it. As they say, shoot for the stars, and if you miss, you may still reach the moon anyway!

I wanted to join that one since my final goal is for the end of December, but I only had 30 to lose total, so I didn't. I do love the challenges for the accountability, but I think I'm better suited for the monthly ones.

Almost there!

I went a little past my goal sometime last week, 159.5!! My digital scale isn't working today...might need a new battery so I used a regular dial type scale that sits on 160 this morning. I'll take it!

Congrats to everybody who has stuck with this!

Not many of us are left updating the spreadsheet, but still fun to see everyone's updates. I'm so thankful for this challenge as a way to keep myself motivated to keep the downward trend on the scale. Not likely (nor healthy) to lose 5 lbs this coming week to hit goal, but overall very happy with the success I've had during this challenge.

Hope everyone else is having a great week.
