I'm not sure who normally starts these challenges so if I am stepping on toes, sorry! I was just anxious to get it started.

Now that the Memorial Day Challenge is officially over, who wants to join me in the July 4th Challenge? We have a little over 5 weeks in this challenge so I will make two goals:

1. Get to Onederland

2. Lose 11 lbs

My starting weight for this challenge is 201 lbs. Good Luck to everyone!

Okay, BOY, is it sooo easy to up the lbs! Had to go "spur of the moment" to Louisiana for a funeral. Had a great ONE DAY and ONE NIGHT with old friends, catch up etc. Didn't really eat truly bad - had a few more carbs than I have been eating (low carb) and less than a half a piece of cake. One meal at a Mexican restaurant where I ate ONE puffed taco, no rice, no beans. Came home - next day up 3 lbs! Sad! So my hard-earned loss of earlier in the week - poof! lol I got right back on the horse and exercised by riding 3 miles on my bike last night and low carb today. It's just really amazing to me that now over two years out my body reacts so quickly to ANY change and I have to watch everything that goes in to keep from regaining. Something I didn't anticipate.

On a good note, though - EVERYONE in LA had a fit over my size! (smile) None of them had seen me since the dramatic weight loss. Many compliments which makes one feel REALLY REALLY good! Yaay, Sleeve!

Hi Sleevers!!

I am down to 187. Still need to knock off 10 more pounds

Only have two weeks left!!

I think my goal may have been too lofty

Had a few stalls here and there.

But overall I have lost inches for sure!

My now medium scrubs are getting to look like

No weight loss for me this week. Still have 4 lbs to go by the 4th. Fingers crossed I make it. Congrats to others who lost!
