    W8 9/22: 209.8 (I was actually shocked I lost 2 lbs this week! Even went out for Mexican food, which I rarely go out to eat. I did hit it pretty hard with cardio and weight training though....Pleasantly surprised!)

    W14 11/3: 201.2 (another crazy fluctuating week. my weight went to 200 and even dipped to 198.8 and ended today at 201.2 Still over 2 lb loss on the week, which is more than I expected in first place. The 200's aren't going to give the 100's to me that easy ;) haha

    W16 11/17: 197.2
    w1x7e5ztm1i0.png
    W17 11/24: 196.6 (4 months complete, -23.8 lbs for this challenge and almost -84 lbs total since April of this year. Going into Thanksgiving week and my birthday on 12/1, I may gain a couple lbs back or not :) ... I only have around 16 lbs to ultimate goal now!)

    Final!!!! 12/1: 195.6 (a couple days late but I was away at my sisters through my birthday on 12/1. I was surprised I finished down from last weigh in, considering Thanksgiving weekend and birthday. I worked out and still watched my diet fairly close but splurged on a lot of the delicious foods and pies! )

    Total loss: 24.8 lbs for this challange and 85 lbs since April of this year.

    What I've learned about myself: Finding strength when I felt like I didn't have it in me. To never give up even though I wanted to so many times. I'm in my 50s and this to me is my last real shot at getting back the body I once had and to be healthy again.
