July 3---final weigh in

I'm not starting a new challenge.  During the summer challenges are often started, but not kept up.  So in September I will start up a new one.  See you all then!

Don't quit on me now T2L! One more weigh in, then it will be all over! Sent you a PM explaining why you didn't see me last week, but I'm gonna eat my Fiber Chewables tonight and I'm right with you tomorrow!

May 1: 227.0

June 26: I'm gonna call this The Tahoe Fiasco and no weigh in (sure I coulda found a scale, but I certainly didn't wanna!)

July 3: 207.5

Total Weight loss 19.5 lbs Nowhere near my lofty (and unhealthy I might add) goal, but heck, I'm loving it just the same!

WOW! I have lost almost 20 lbs since I started this on May 1st! The best part, I think, is that I didn't spend a cent on this! I LOVE CC! Make up your mind that you are not happy with yourself and voila! I hope all of you stay with this, and if you go on vacation, just get right back on ASAP. I going to have to do this again after next week, but man, this is one great ride! I haven't been this proud of myself in 10 years.

Thanks again for all the support. This really helped me to stick with it and not give up even after vacations, parties etc.

I hear there is a biggest loser 12 challenge opening up, maybe I will sign up there.

Have a great summer all and good luck!

no exercise on start day or end day, looks like a legit 10 lbs drop, I'm happy.

congrats to everyone!

I lost 7.2lbs.  Not bad.  I had a good start and was able to keep most of that off even with all the crazy stuff going on.  So I'm starting again today and hoping for another good start.  Off to find another challenge.  Congrats on all the losses.  And hang in there on all the not losses.
