I have a quick question: Is there a minimum amount of weight that a person has to want to lose? For instance, is a person only looking to lose 15ish pounds welcome?

No minimum required - just commitment to do your best and stick with it!

My apologies to everyone for not yet posting all our updates - I took care of a student who was sent home sick from the camp we were at from Monday - Thursday, and I came home with a temperature of 101.2!  I'm slowly but surely plugging everyone's last weigh-ins into my spreadsheet, but I'm having to frequently stop to lie down... I definitely don't do sick well!

Just wanted everyone to know that I haven't flaked on you - I'm so proud of everyone who completed the challenge!  If you haven't found it already, make sure you sign up for the next challenge, BLC12!

~Katy

Just so everyone new knows - I'll be gone from Monday, June 29th through Thursday, July 2nd with no internet access!  If you have questions, I promise I'll reply to them upon my return on July 3rd, unless one of our seasoned veterans responds to you before I get back.

~Katy

Individual updates are posted (finally!) - I forgot to take my files home with me from work on Friday, so I couldn't finish till today.

Only this week and next week, then we're done!  Hang in there - you can see this challenge through to the end!

Week 5.   6/9-6/11: 198, Baby!!!! I did it! I finally did it!!!

WAY TO GO!  Enjoy Onederland, girl - you've worked hard for it and deserve to enjoy it! :)

I'm having a hard time eating healthy lately - we live with my parents right now, and the fridge and freezers have been so full lately that I haven't been able to stock up on healthy foods - plus we're driving an hour for church responsibilities 2-3 days a week now, so my time for cooking is going downhill fast!

Anyway, I think I just needed to be honest with more than just myself for a minute.  I need to find a way to make eating healthy work, no matter the circumstances!

I hope everyone had a good weekend - and was able to stay on the ball for a weight loss this week!
