    GW - 195 - that will mean I've lost 42 lb (3 stone)
    UGW - 150

    1st June:

    This week's NSV: A colleague who I don't speak to all that much walked up to me and said "Can I just say, you're fading away and looking more and more beautiful each day" - I don't think anyone has ever called me beautiful before. Such a special moment.

    I so NEED this challenge and the extra support and encouragement. I haven't been doing so good lately at journaling or sticking to anything for more than 2-3 days. I woke up yesterday determined to take care of me!! I had a great day, but nights are the hardest. Ugh!! Anyway. Today is a new day and now I have a group who will hold me accountable!!

    I'M IN!!

    Sign on that you are participating in the challenge, give your stats, weigh in dates.
    Come back on each weigh in date and let us know how you are doing. Even if it is not a positive week, let us know so we can encourage you.
    It really worked last month to post what your recent NSV (non scale victory) was, so let's keep it up!

    Here's the pattern:
    SW 251.5
    CW 226.5
    GW 220.5
    UTG 150

    WI Dates:

    Wow, you guys are doing an awesome job so far and we are not even a week in! Keep up the hard work and if you do not loose weight please post your NSV. (No Scale Victory.) It really does motivate other people. :)
