Ok everyone. Here's the next challenge. Labor Day!

Bear with me as I adjust to taking over the challenges from Bea.

Not sure if this link will work but lets try. I am also not terribly great with Xcel..but I know the basics.
First weigh in will be Monday July 7th. That will give us all a total of 9 weigh ins from start to finish, which will be Monday Sept 1st. It will be a long challenge, and will carry us threw the rest of summer and into start of fall.

I will post another with the pointers, rules etc for the other challenges. Same apply to this as all of the others.

Just make sure to adjust your goals to accommodate for the 2 months we will be in this one.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. I will like the posts as I enter them in, so that will not change.

Didn't make goal of 163.4... Cw 167.2. Thx again Bea, Gla and thx.

Down 3 pounds this week, surprisingly. I've increased calories and carbs, per my nut, in an effort to slow down my weight loss as I reach my goal but it keeps coming off. I love this damn sleeve ...

Time for some numbers:
Total Pounds Goal: 4313.8
Total Pounds Lost: 3017.9
That means we are 70% to our total goal!
WAY TO GO!!! Keep up the GREAT work!

As always, my apologies if I missed anyone!

I am a bit overwhelmed with work these days as I prepare to relocate to the Middle East. I will be taking a leave of absence from my regular job for 9 months in order to 1) complete my PhD, and 2) do something I've always wanted to do...teach in a university classroom.

I am currently jumping through hoops in order to prepare my company for my leaving as well as meeting all of the strict requirements for working overseas. I will be working at the Texas A&M Qatar campus and couldn't be more excited. There are drawbacks, of course, including a serious cut in pay (I'll be making 1/7th of my current salary, and I'm the primary breadwinner!) Also, my husband will not be coming with me for this assignment, although we are hoping we can plan a trip for him to come for a visit around Christmas.
I'm telling all of this to let you know that I will not be able to manage the data for another challenge after this one. While I've had a heck of a lot of fun with these, I am just a bit overwhelmed at the moment and need to take a break. I hope that someone from this group will pick up the baton and run with it. I'm hoping someone will come up with some new ideas for the group, some new and exciting ways to keep people active, motivated, and engaged. I will miss this part of my week, this checking up on everyone and marking the group's progress, but I am in need of a break and can't figure a way around it.
Can't wait to find out who is going to volunteer to take the lead next!
Thanks so much,
Bea

No weight lost this week. I actually feel good about that however . I was on vacation this past week, ate out lunch and dinner every day, and had a few drinks. I did manage to work out regularly and in general my activity level was way up. I feel,good about breaking even given the circumstances.
