With one week to go I just wanted to say congrats to everyone who stuck with it the full three months and has continued to post their progress. I'm proud of all of you! And I look forward to starting another challenge in the near future.

Not where I want to be and not going to reach my goal but at my age I lose pretty slowly and I’m just happy to still be heading in the right direction. Also my goal is 170 which my doctor set for me so happy to be so close to it! Good luck everyone!!

Challenge Starting Weight: Aug. 1: 257.4
Challenge Level: 3-4 stars
Challenge Goal weight: under 240

Aug 1: 257.4
Aug 15: 254.4 down 3lbs
Sept 1: 251.4 down 6lbs

Sept 8: 251.0, down .4 lbs since last week, 6.4 since start of the challenge. Was at 250.0 yesterday. Sundays and Mondays are always seem to go up a few decimal points...

Sept 15: 248.6 down. 2.4 since last week, 8.8 since start. Best this week was 247.8 yesterday and Friday. Not bad of a “gain” after quite a tailgating experience yesterday! (In state rival, college gameday, 14 hours of tailgaiting and football only to go home 1 minute into the second quarter due to the second lightning delay, torrential downpour, and flash flooding. Watched the team lose by blowing an opportunity at the last second due to a bonehead mistake)

Sept 22: 248.4. Down .4 since last week. Best this week was 247.0 yesterday and Friday. Tailgating did me in yesterday; the team won 72-20. Next 3 weeks off tailgating, but they're going to be busy. Next weekend is our anniversary followed immediately by my birthday mid week followed by back-to-back weddings the next 2 weekends after that. I am going to have to practice the self-control I did not show yesterday. LOL.

Sept 29: 246.4
Oct 6: out of town, no official weight

Oct 13: 244.4. Down 2 lbs from my last official weigh-in 2 weeks and and 4 lbs over the last 3 weeks. Between my anniversary, my birthday, and 2 weddings, i put on some water weight that made the the last 2 weeks feel like maitenence weeks, but the past few days have been a pretty dramatic drop (243.6 yesterday). What that tells me is that even though I haven’t denied any indulgences (2 mini cupcakes at last nights wedding!) i have been making overall sustainable choices for this journey. I did change my goal for this challenge, however, because “under 240” is more realistic with 2 weeks left than my original 232.

Oct 20: 245.4 down 12lbs ffor the challenge, but up a pound from last week, which makes sense since we had a “homegate” day yesterday and I’m full of breakfast pizza, cheese puffs, ribs, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. And drinks. And Friday was walking taco day at school (don’t be fooled by the name, it’s all taco, no walking. lol). But i am down an inch on my waist and an inch and a half on my hips, so even if the scale didn’t move, my measurements did.

Oct 27: 241.8 yesterday for a 30 lbs total loss and 15.6 lbs loss on challenge. Up a bit today after tailgating yesterday and late night dinners 3 days this week screwing up my digestive routines. Probably won’t hit 240 by Wednesday unless i get a perfectly timed “whoosh” of water weight from this weekend.
