Five Pounds in Five Weeks - Be Five Pounds Lighter by July 11th

We started this at work, where we're all suffering from "Hacker Spread". Thank you, IT Industry, for making it possible to 1) make a living sitting on my behind all day and 2) afford to eat lunch out every day.

I'm going to be honest. I'm 5'8" tall and I weigh 208 pounds. My coworker is 5'6" tall and weighs 187 lbs. Since we've both got a lot of weight to loose, we've broken it in to 5 pound chunks. 5 pounds isn't nearly as inimidating as 65 pounds.

This is our second round of the 5 pound challenge and I thought maybe some of you other folks would like to join us. Our goal is to be five pounds lighter by July 11th.

We don't care if you need to loose 200 pounds or 10. You're welcome to join in our little challenge.

"Weigh ins" will be on Thursdays, so that we can either commiserate or rejoice together. All you have to do is weigh yourself on the same scale every Thursday and keep up the new healthy lifestyle.

Ahhh!  I missed the last weight in!!!  I had some body work done because I recently tore my hamstring.  Sorry!!!  And the worst part is that I was so upset about my injury and in so much pain from the therapy AND my TOM came, I over ate on the 4th.  So, here's the gory details...

There's one more week left to go, right? or did I miscount?

You counted right.  I think it started with weigh in?  Anyway It was going till the 11th but I think we should keep going.  I know I have another "5lbs" to lose.

My final weight is 136.5, which is .5 pounds short of my goal.  I think my TOM really slowed me down and a little less activity.  But I am healing up and ready to do it again! My new
