IT IS ALMOST FRIDAY!!!
How is everyone doing- ready to go strong through the weekend? Anyone have good plans?
I plan on laying low (spending minimal money) and watching some good flicks, working out, and doing some chores around the casa! I am super excited that my monday weigh in is going to be here soon- i just want this weight to get off of me asap!

Is Feb 14th the half way date? That's just cruel! At least there should be no holidays to worry about in the second half of the challange. I will have to deal with a week of babysitting 2 grandkids -- They may get introduced to more healthy eating than they are used to. Hopefully I'll be able to journal that week -- it really helped the last week I was on holidays.
I'm really impressed with Fitday. I was avoiding work today and decided to compare my actual loss with my calorie defecit for the 5 weeks I've been here. My weight loss is 11 pounds and the total calorie defecit would equal a 10 pound loss. I thought it was impressive that the numbers were that close.

Thank you Detroit Breakdown. My percentage did not look right according to the other method, so I checked a few and discovered they were wrong.
I believed mine to be correct but since I failed grade 10 math, I was not going to be the one to speak up.

So, I think I forgot which thread I was in--posted my stuff in the 100+ thread
.Anyway, yes, had a nice 5lb. loss this week. My longer lunch time walks are paying off I guess. I've also been working on increasing my water intake--going for at least 3 liters a day, coffee excluded.
Only 8lbs left to meet the challenge goal, so even with a few days at camp week after next I should be all set for 4/1.
Hope you all have a safe and healthy weekend!
Regards,
Michael

Halfway There!
Yup, believe it or not, the challenge is half over! 
How much have we lost? How about 259.35 pounds as of this morning?!
Over 1/8th of a ton of excess weight gone in six weeks.
Now let's keep that momentum going--these next six weeks will go by lickety split and we'll be staring spring right in the face. Have a great Valentine's Day, everyone!
