    My first challenge. Including MFP I have lost 41 pounds so far, very slowly. I'm here because I'm really afraid of the "final 10" -- everyone tells me they are the hardest.

    My moment: Accidentally reached for my 15 year old daughter's jacket for my walk and it fit. (OK, it fit snugly :-))

    NSV: No one has noticed my 5-lb loss from March, but lately everyone's been saying I look happy. Just as good, right?

    I'm also doing the 30 day shred this month, so we'll see how the two combine!
