    Good morning all! :flowerforyou:

    Well, I put myself in this challenge with 3 last pounds to lose. These are the same three I've been holding onto since the end of January. I've continued to hit goals and then make new ones prior, but in all honesty, I've come to the realization that I do not think I have any more to lose and I've been forcing myself to do the impossible....SO....I'm dropping out of this challenge. I know if I continue to force any loss within a short period of time, I am only going to frustrate myself.

    Therefore........what I am going to focus on is eating my maintenance calories (maybe 250 below) and increase my strength training (my favorite).:bigsmile:

    If in the meantime my BMI decides to fall at a perfect 22...then so be it.:happy:

    Good luck everyone!

    With a hawtie like U can U blame them 3 lbs for not wanting to leave you.
    :wink:

    I've lost 1 lb since beginning the challenge. So I have 4 to go to meet my goal for this challenge.

    I am really struggling to lose these "last few" pounds. (Okay, so more than a few, but you know what I mean...)

    Can I join? I need some motivation again. Been struggling since the holidays. Lost some again after surgery, but don't want to put them back on. Do we check in everyday? I need the accountability.... 8-10 pounds for me by St Paddy's day.....

    Good luck everyone. :flowerforyou:

    Was sick a bit last week but once I got my appetite back this weekend, it was a bit rough. I weighed myself this morning and I haven't lost or gained...so I suppose that's not too bad.

    Rough day at work today, just ate a Snickers bar :explode: ...still within my calories though :blushing:...so I suppose a salad is it for me tonight! :ohwell:

    Tomorrow is another day and I can still hit the gym tonight...at least for just a little bit.

    Here's to making it happen regardless what this crazy world throws in our way! :flowerforyou: Keep up the good work guys!

    (My goal is still gonna be for 8lbs....I think I can, I think I can, I think I can)

    Hey Everyone...

    I am having a :mad: :cry: day...but I'm on track with my eating and water so far...later I have a training session and I might get out some frustration with some cardio.

    I'm in for 5 lbs this time...

    Hope each of you have a great day! :flowerforyou:

    Big bear hug and a prayer.

    Man, I did good and lost a pound last week, but today when I weighted in, I'd gained it back and I don't understand why.

    Whatever - I'm gonna lose two this week to make up for it!!!
