Memorial Day Challenge!

Okay guys, Its challenge time again. Who is with me? Memorial Day is about 7 weeks away and I am going to start this challenge off right with a doable goal of 10 pounds. I am 8 months out today and I know my losses will be continuing to slow. I used to set my goals at 20 pounds, then 15, then 13 and now 10. I want to be realistic and I am only 20 pounds from goal so I think 10 pounds is a good realistic goal for me. How about you? What will be your goal for the next seven weeks?

Lost 2.6 lbs this last week. Yay! 15 lbs to go, gotta keep pushing. I am back to keeping my Protein high and carbs low. Love when my body drops the Water weight from high carb weeks. Feeling good. Just need to start exercising again.

Today I weighed 215, that is 3 lb lost this week. Yahoo y'all brought me good luck! Here is to all of us and a successful week!

So I walked 2 miles a day for four days last week and...

Starting weight: 292.4

Current Weight: 291.4

A pound loss is motivation gained! Gotta get back on my grind!

I lost like 4 pounds and now I think I'm in the "oh-so-dreaded-STALL!!!!!!!" still hoping to make goal.....grrr!

I stall regularly. I am pretty sure the scale won't move for another 2 weeks. Just keep following your plan and the weight will come off!

Okay, I lost 2.6 this week (Woo Hoo!) and weigh 209.6 down from 212 the previous week. I was stalled for a few weeks and now back to losing.

Surgery date 3/13/12

Starting weight: 243.6

Current weight: 209.6

Total lost: 34
