    I'm up for the New Year's Challenge. I regretted missing your last one, Ace, but now I've got my health all sorted out I think this is just the kind of thing I need to help keep me focused through the holidays, which is notoriously difficult for me. I'll be dealing with Halloween (2 tots bringing in their candy haul!), my son's 7th birthday, hosting Thanksgiving for 23 people, the full-production show that is Christmas, and then my daughter's 5th birthday. Lots to do, lots of distractions, high stress, and so many food traps!!!! I'll be leaning on all you guys to help me keep the big picture in sight!! I wanna be healthy, happy, and hot for the New Year!!! WHOOOP! I've got my name in and my stats up and I'm ready to go!

    Wow, lots going on! Sounds fun! I was a little worried about doing it during all of these upcoming food holidays, but that's life, and we're in this to get to a healthy lifestyle so the challenge will definitely help us all out!! Glad you're in on this one!!

    No, there isn't a new forum, I just decided it'd be easier to keep this one going that way no one gets lost! And your goal weight was 262!

    I weighed 334lbs at the beginning of the challenge back in June. My goal was to weigh 315 by today. I passed that goal last month and updated it to 305 by today. And guess what!! I DID IT!! :D I dropped 29lbs since June!

    Week 1 6/6/11. 262 
    Week 2 6/12/11. 259.8 
    Week 3 6/19/11. 259

    Week 6 7/10/11. 254 
    Week 7 7/17/11. 256.4. Between the heat & salt todays weight is a little high for this week 
    Week 8 7/24/11. 251.8 this number seems a bit low, I was expecting something around 252.5-253, we will have to see if it sticks 
    Week 9 7/31/11. 251.8 it took all week to get back to this number
    Week 10 8/7/11. 250.4 slow but steady. Mostly just slow 
    Week 11 8/13/11. 251. Wrong direction, bad week
    Week 12 8/21/11 250.6 August really hasn't been a good month. Stepped up my exercise, and it came back to bite me on the *kitten*.
    Week 13 8/28/11 249.8
    Week 14 9/5/11  250.6 nope, no goal. 
    Goal 245








    Oh crap, need to re-think weight loss,
