Yes...tomorrow is the final weigh-in (although late comers will definitely be counted). :-)

194have a great St Patty's Day

187 final

Not goal, but a slow and steady pound a week.

Yayyyyy! I reache my goal for this challenge! 157.0 today! I guess I am losing 2lbs a week. I hope that doesn't stop until I reach my final goal!

Thank you for the challenges Bea. They kept me focus on my short term goals and success rather than obsess about how much more I need to lose and how far my final goal seem.

Congrats to those who made goal!!! My fist challenge, didn't make goal, I think I overshot thinking I cud loose 14 lbs esp when I started out in a stall but it's ok, I'm rdy for Easter.

Goal was 190

Cw: 195.8 c y'all for Easter and gl!

202.8. Didn't hit my goal of onderland.

Start weight 230.6

Goal originally was 225 but changed it to 220 when I hit 225 two weeks ago. However I bounced right back up again after that.

227.6 this morning so an overall loss of three lbs. Yesterday I was 226.5. Very, very frustratingly slow, see sawing to my goal. I don't lose steadily anymore. Guess that's the way it's gonna go.

Thanks so much for doing this Bea!

218.5 this morning. Missed goal by .5 pound. Very pleased that I am finally out of the 220's. Bea thank you so much for doing the challenges, It keeps me on track.

Well, I weighed exactly 200 this morning. >_< It's like my body doesn't want to go under 200 lbs. it's just not used to having that 1 come first! But I had at least one day that I saw 199 on the scale, so I know it's possible. Just gotta keep working!
