Hey guys, thanks for the challenge. I have enjoyed the competition, but I am bowing out as of now! I am not normally one to quit anything, but I feel it is only fair that I do this. I have been very sick the last couple of days (the flu) and have lost about 15lbs. This isn't the way that weight is lost! I have finally broke my fever and am feeling a little better. But it wouldn't be right to report that kind of weight loss with only a week remaining in the competition. Since I am getting a fill in a couple days (I hope that I still can),and will be on liquids for a few days, this false weight loss might just be around next week. Not fair to Nana or anybody else!

Thanks Again,

Ray

I am going to miss checking in each week. The challenge has helped me be more faithful in doing weekly weights and measurments though, I think I will continue to do that for myself. I have a journal that I have updated each week along with the challenge thread. Thanks Nana for doing all of this, it has been fun. ~Mandy
