This is the one challege where the losers are all winners! :D

One pound or 30 pounds, everyone who has stuck with this should give him or her self a well earned pat on their (smaller) back.

227 this morning, or 12% off since April 1st. Only 1% to go for my 225/13% goal for the 4th!

I may not be quite under 200 by the time work starts back up at the end of August but getting close. I...

Nine Days Left!

Hard to believe we're almost down to the wire!

The scale was bouncing a little today but settled down to 228.5, still I'm calling it 229 for the record. Can I lose four more by the 4th and reach...

Good, that's what we'll do. I think four more-or-less 12 week challenges a year work out pretty well. My big push will be for 199 by Columbus Day, so slighly more than 10%--we'll have to see how that...

April, Labor Day would only be nine weeks. I was thinking possibly Columbus Day--that would give us about 13 weeks. Then we would have 12 weeks 'till New Years for another 10%. What do you think?

Wow, many folks hitting the 10% mark early--that's great! And halfway done, Teri, that is exciting for sure. :D

I saw another couple of pounds go since Friday so I'm at 229/11.2% (and into the...

1%, 5%, 10% or more are all great! Really, these 10% challenges are just sort of a motivator--"10%" is just a nice, round, and totally arbitrary number. No one should feel bad about not making a...

Goal Met!

Yes, even with a severly disrupted exercise routine the last couple of weeks I seem to have met my goal and even a little early to boot. :)

Can I take off another 2% and hit 225 by the Fourth?...

Well, camp didn't help it, I'm sure and the scale did take a fairly decent bump up, but a week later it was down plus another 5 gone. Just goes to show a "once in a while" change is OK. Still, I...

Albie, that is great! And you are so right about the fitness aspect. A year ago a 50ft. waddle across a parking lot would leave me gasping for breath like a trout out of water. This morning I did 4.2...

My temporary post-camp bump is gone (amazing how much fluid one can retain after a few days of debauchery) and the scale nicely showed...

30 Day Left!

So, we're 2/3rds of the way into the challenge. Collectively we've lost 294 pounds so far! :D

Some have already made the 10% goal, some have surpassed it and some of us (myself included) still...

Yup, I'm back, and yup, I put away quite a lot of cactus juice. Even with the libations I tried to keep my intake somewhere around my burn--around 3K. Still, I'm not going near the scale until next...

I agree, though I wish they would provide a complete list of all the choices first. Many of them are so over the top it's not even worth modifying. I usually go for the chicken breast or the fish...

Heading to camp tomorrow for the long weekend so decided to weigh in this morning. After two cups of coffee the scale reported 240.5 so I'm calling it an even 240 for the record.

Now I suspect...

Kaitlin, I think that's a healthy approach--if I don't lose I generally know why. It's best to acknowledge it and move on. Excuses are pointless in this endeavor. I'm sure you'll do better this week!...
