1. Make it to the 170's

2. Lose 15.4 lbs

3. Log food every day into MFP

4. Exercise 4-5 a week

Hi all! I'm a day early because tomorrow is the first day of school! I'm looking forward to meeting my students.

So, I dropped one pound this week. I was hoping for the magic three again- no such luck. BUT- I ran my first official 10k in one hour and twelve minutes! The course had hills and I RAN the WHOLE time!! I'm extremely proud of myself. (see pic below) I finished couch to 10K this week as well. just three pounds to go...

Good luck everyone! I hope u have a fantastic week!

I gained another pound this week! I am very bloated and just fat feeling... I have not ate my best the past two weeks so I am going to start tracking again and lowering my carbs, one more time. I am only 5 pounds from goal, where I was 3 pounds from goal... I am going backward but I am hoping its just temporary.. I have not eaten super bad or anything. I just let my carbs come back up to normal and I realize now that having those carbs up there around 60-80 makes me gain or maintain.. I have to have them super low to lose any weight now that I am this thin. Wish me luck! I have two weeks and I am going for Gold!

Today I made my goal goal of 123.8 normal BMI. My next goal is 121 which is half of me. I am in no hurry, actually upping my calories a bit. So not sure I will make that during this challenge but this challenge has been a success!!

Challenge goal - I would like to be at 129 (lose 5 lbs) and be consistently working out 4x a week.

I reached my goal of 129 on 7/24 and have worked out at least 4x a week for 2 weeks now. I am revising my goal weight (for the challenge) to be 123.8 which is at this point my final goal.

I have met my goal. It is really hard for me to determine what a good goal will be. I am not sure how fast I am going to be losing now.

I am going to make my new goal 210. that is 7.2 pounds.. hopefully I don't stall.

I'm getting close! Weight keeps fluctuating 1-3 pounds so hope I can make it.

Getting my protein in, exercising but struggling with fluids..going to work on that!

Didn't check in last week because I was on vacation. I lost one pound on vacation which I consider to be a victory! While I was really good with my food choices, I did indulge in some wine drinking. But I also had plenty of exercise with hiking and kayaking. I doubt that I'll make my goal of 180, but I'm okay with that as long as I keep losing. I feel great!

Happy day happy day! I guess I should make a new goal but I am not sure what to even hope for. When I started the challenge I thought it was incredibly unlikely I would reach the goal I set. I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing and see what can happen. Woohoo!

Great loss!!!
