2/7/14 - 150.5

2/14/14 - 149.5

I didn't make my goal of 145 but I'm actually starting to think I should just be happy where I am and maintain my weight.

Despite all my efforts to sabotage myself this week still managed to lose .5. 192.6!

Final weigh in: 158.9

Congrats to everyone on a great challenge. Hope to "see" everyone next week for the start of the next one.

I haven't reported in a couple weeks, but nothing changed. Started At 165 and ended at 165. Congratulations everyone for sharing your progress and changing your life!!

That's okay, we're still proud of you. Maintenance is just as important (if not more so) than losing. I used to weigh 150lbs, but i couldn't maintain it, so i ballooned to 245lbs at my heaviest. If i had your skill of maintenance, that wouldn't have happened. So even though i know it's gotta feel a little dissappointing to have not lost weight during a weight loss challenge, don't feel bad. :-)

At 167, I'm -1 of my Challenge Goal. Still have another 20 to go overall but a Happy Valentine's to you all!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Final weight 140.2. I didn't might quite make it to my goal but still happy for being close enough. (Only .2 over)

I'm at 161 today. Missed my goal by 1 but incredibly happy with the progress.

First off, congratulations everyone! As another poster said, no matter your progress, you all have made the decision to be healthier and more conscious of what you're eating. whether you lost or maintained,

Thank you for this challenge Bea. Your challenge really helped hold me accountable because as it got closer and closer to Friday each week i'd be like "maybe i shouldnt eat this extra _______" or "i'm going to walk today" because i didnt want to post that i had remained the same or God forbide heavier. I'm also pleased to have a record of my success.

Anyway, I made goal and have entered ONEderland.

SW: 217lbs

GW: 199lbs

CW: 198.6

My victories (scale and non scale) have been a motivator to those around me. Mom is watchingnwhat she eats and now does like me and asks for a box before her food comes out. The only time she orders a dessert is at applebees(they have a tiny brownie bite for like $1).

My husband has also been seeing a nutritionist and has lost 11.3lbs. He wants to lose w/o the sleeve first and in six months time reevaluate if he wants the procedure.

I will definately be participating in the next challenge.

Starting challenge weight : 205

Goal weight: 190

Current weight: 188.6

I passed my goal by 1.4 pounds!!! It was a tough one though!!

I'm at 207.2 this morning. Finally a loss greater than 2 lbs! Going to the gym is finally helping the scale :-) I didn't make my goal but that's ok... Next time!
