2. Lose 15.4 lbs

3. Log food every day into MFP

4. Exercise 4-5 a week

Well not going to make it to my revised goal weight/onderland by the end of this round, but I did bypass my initial goal weight already and a loss is a loss.

It took a lot for me to lose the 1.6 lbs this week. I feel like its the start of a stall, but I hope not. I would like to actually hit 168.6 by Labor Day so I can say I've actually lost 75 lbs. So 1.4 lbs to lose this week. Please, please, please I want to make it. Good luck everyone during our last week of this challenge. Let's really push it to finish strong no matter our end results.

Fingers, toes, legs, arms and eyes crossed that we all find success on the scale this week.

So I had the best vacation EVER studying Spanish in Costa Rica with my daughter AND I lost weight. I have never, never, ever lost weight on vacation before. I'm going to give it all I've got this week to make that goal next Monday. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

My original goal of 220 was already met.. I hope I meet the 210 goal. I am going to go to Vegas this weekend so I will not be able to do my Monday weigh in until Tuesday.... hope Vegas is good to me!

My weight is fluctuating up and down this week. I was off track eating but was very active and got my protein in. My last week, I'm doing 2 days of full liquids then going to hit Diva's bootcamp..keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it happen.

Be careful with those free drinks, but have a blast!

I started the Labor Day Challenge a little late. 6 weeks ago. My goals were to lose 15 lbs, log all my food and exercise and run for 30 minutes.

I'm almost there.

Just 3 lbs to go.

Challenge GW 199

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!

It's been 2 weeks since I posted and I've only lost 0.2 pounds.

I've gotta buckle down for the next week and try to lose 3.6 pounds. Gonna try to work out tonight and 2 more days this week. Here goes nothing!

Exercise will be a no go.. I screwed up my knee 2 weeks ago and it still isn't better. I am bummed because I was just recently released to do exercises. I had just started my elliptical again then tripped and fell and I have been limping ever since. I am thinking I am going to have to break down and go to the doctor. If it isn't better by next week, I will have to go.
