So, I haven't been very good at checking in the last 4 weeks of the challenge. I was doing a "normal dieting" behavior: I wasn't doing what I needed to do for myself and I wasn't losing as well as I would like and I kind of gave up! Wow! That's not good.

But, I weighed myself yesterday and realized how much progress I did make. So, even though I missed my goal, I have come a long way! I lost nearly 20 pounds in that time!!! Wow!!

I'm in for the next challenge. And, I really need to push myself harder to stay on top of things!

Congratulations to everyone who stuck with the challenge through the good and bad!

Ok did not make goal!!! I knew it would be hard with the Memorial Day holiday, a weekend in San Francisco on 6/10, vacation with the kids in Myrtle Beach the week of 6/19, and just got back from New Orleans today after being down there with all the best food in the United States. The positive is I lost 20 lbs on the challenge and down 75 lbs in 5 months. I am shooting for the same goal for Labor Day! 28 lbs and no excuses!!!!!

My bad I forgot to post yesterday and I forgot my starting weight for this challenge but I do know I wanted to be 285 for the 4th. Well, I was 3 lbs shy of that goal but I'll take it! Happy Dance!!!

Hi all,

Congratulations to all who made their 4th of July goal!!!

I missed goal by 8 lbs. I set my goal pre-surgery, assuming about 5 lbs. per week in the first six weeks. After the first three weeks, my weight loss is averaging 2 lbs. per week. I have lost 25 lbs. in the seven weeks following surgery. Respectable, but not as much as I thought it might be.

SW-223...............CW-206...............July 4th goal-189................July 4th Weight: 197

I'll be setting my goal for Labor Day at 2 lbs. per week. The Labor Day Goal also includes reaching three mini-goals:

1. Getting down to the 180s. Haven't seen that weight since around 200.

2. Becoming Overweight, not Obese (185 lbs)

3. Weighing less than my husband: (<182)

Labor Day Goal:

SW-197...............CW-197...............Labor Day goal-179

Sadly, I didn't make goal but I still lost 23lbs which is pretty good. I ended the challenge on a stall so hopefully things will pick up for the Labor Day Challenge.

I can't believe I was 2 lbs away! Ah, so close, yet so far. The past couple of weeks I've had smaller numbers (2 lbs, then 1 lb) instead of my usual 2.5-3 lbs. THat's okay though- I lost 23 lbs and am only 6 lbs away from ONEderland! I'll be there by labor day!

It's interesting to see how far I've come -- I don't feel like I've been in the 180s for a while, but yet, I started out the challenge there -- so that's pretty good!

Hopefully, I'll reach my goal, but if not, that's ok, because it's not a race, it's a journey!

Ok, I'm still 6 pounds away -- sigh. And then I had plastics which made me swell and gain - double sigh. But that's ok -- it's still a journey.
