    Thank you Vic for all of your hard work with this challenge and the one before this. I had fun logging in every week and it was great getting to have everyone's success be my inspiration to keep going. Good luck to everyone with their continued weight loss and maintenance.

    No weight loss this week, but I'm very happy with not gaining at all this week. This summer has been hard for me to stay on track, so I hope once I'm back from work and away from all this vacation I will be on the right track again with losing this weight!

    Current Weight (As of today): 199
    Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 199 I made my goal (well my revised goal, my original goal was 195)!!

    Thank you for helping me lost 26 lbs this summer. I am ready for the beach. See you all there!

    Can your friends view your food and exercise logs? I am 151.6 (as of yesterday) and would love to lose weight at the speed you did. Seeing how you've done it would be a great help to me.

    Up about 1.1 lb this week, don't believe it is a true gain because this pregnancy has me more constipated than I've every been!!!! I know, TMI! :) Regardless, I'm happy to be holding fairly steady. Will continue to eat maintenance calories for the next 5 weeks, then bump it up to gain 1/2 pound per week. So this will be my last challenge.....until next spring!!

    You will be fine. We'll help you, as much as we can. You are going to need to find out who wants to be part of the new challenge. And you'll need to make a new thread for it. This site will help you with your percentages. http://www.calculateforfree.com/percent.html Good luck!

    Well, here we are at the end of the challenge - it's been a hard time for me personally, and I got pretty stuck for a month or so in the middle there, but I'm happy to be at the beach in September weighing 5.5kg less than when we started (I really should get some scales that weigh in pounds, 12 pounds down sound much better then 5.5kg!). My weight goal was to lose 6.5 kg so I'm one kg short of my original goal but 1kg better than my revised goal and I'm happy with that.
    One of my non-scale goals was to run 12km in the City to Surf race - finishing at the beach, which I did last week.
    My other one was to work on binge eating and I can't say that's gone but I'm much more aware of what I'm doing and working on strategies to change these habits. That is going to be an ongoing task, but I feel like I've made a good start.
    Overall, a good outcome from this challenge - Vic, thanks so much for doing so much work to keep us on track, it is really appreciated.

    Here's a pic of me on my on my way to the beach last weekend :)

    Even though I missed out on the last couple of weeks, mostly due to computer issues, I've managed to keep myself on track and finish at lower than my goal! The best part: I bought a pair of size 18 pants today. When I started my journey at the end of March I was wearing size 24.

    Everyone sign up for the Christmas challenge!!! I did and I look forward to seeing you there! Let's all give Falisha a big hand for taking the reins and starting the next challenge so our amazing group can stay together.

    It has been a privilege working with all of you for the past 12/24 weeks. I look forward to being able to do it again.

    I was worried I wasn't going to make it! Checked the scale at the beginning of the week and because of TOM I was up to 170 again so I was really happy this morning. I'm also really happy with my progress over the course of this challenge. My original goal was 174 and have passed that by almost 7lbs.!!! I haven't taken any pics yet, but will try to take some this weekend.

    1 pound loss this week. Irean put a stopper in my loss, but I am back at it and happy with the 10 pounds I have lost in the past weeks, plus Tom is just leaving and I could still lose maybe 1 pound more by the end of the weekend. Thanks so much for all the work youve done Vic for the the last 2 challenges.

    Thank you Vic soooooo much for this, I've lost *counts on fingers* 17.5lbs? Wow, I'm VERY happy with that. The weekly weigh ins and the charts and the challenges have been great for me – especially now I'm getting towards the end of my weight-loss journey. I'm now 11.5lbs from my ultimate goal weight – though to be honest the closer I get the more I'm not sure if that won't just be a little bit too small for me. I'm already in my goal size clothes (UK size 12), had to completely overhaul my wardrobe and say goodbye to some very loved but also very large clothes, I've lost inches a plenty, and I've had so many NSVs! It's kinda crazy...though the acid test will be next week when I go visit my old Uni friends from my undergrad...who I last saw at new year (when I was 232lbs+) and about 2 days before I started this new lifestyle...they better notice the difference!

    I will try and get some pics posted on that (or the new Xmas challenge and accountability threads), if I can get one taken...and also then work out how to get them on a forum...but they'll also definitely get on my profile page.

    Please feel free to friend me if any of you would like to stay in touch, it's been such an inspiration reading some of your stories, nsvs and seeing you get over your struggles.

    Ok....I've got some pics. (I'll post on the Success Stories forum tomorrow).

    The top set of 4 pics is from January when I started (157+ lbs), the bottom set of 4 pics is from June when the challenge started (135 lbs).

    The one in the gray shirt was from my daughter's first day of school (8/29) and I was around 126-127. The one in the blue dress was from my Open House/Meet the Teacher Night (I was 125 -- that was when my tongue was crazy and I couldn't eat). The one flexing is from last night...I'm just a dork. :laugh:
