Didn't end this challenge at such a great weight, but I do know that it definitely helped to keep me on track while planning our elopement. I'm sure some of that gain there at the end was due to overindulgences like cocktails and cupcakes. Starting Monday, April 28th it's back on track. I've got about 25 pounds left to lose.

Thanks so so so much for the congratulations! You are too sweet!

Are we starting another challenge soon? If so, count me in!
