Summer Weight Loss Challenge

Hi Everyone! I was so excited this past week to actually see the scale drop down to 139 but as we all know, that %@$# scale does not only go in the direction we wi**** to. . My scale keeps bouncing between 140 and 141--today is 140 so no loss for me this week. On the bright side, my Dad, whom I work with, asked what my current weight was. When I told him, he was quite surprised--he told me he thought I weighed around 110! OMG! If I look that small, I don't want to lose anymore! Anyhow, I felt pretty darn good after that comment yesterday even if it was just my Dad. Hope everyone is having a great week! Smiles, Mel

Congrats to you Mel!!!!!! I don't think I joined in this challenge. Can't remember (gosh I hate getting old! ). I weighed in at 158 this morning - so only 9lbs from goal. Although, I think I could really stand to lose more and a goal of 135 would be good. I'll work on hitting 149, then go from there. Traci 250/158/149

Hello Mel, Thats so cool when that happens. I bet you felt so good after that. I started this challenge at 153 and am stil at 144 so still not to bad. I want to be atleast to 140 if not 135. My goal weight for me is 130 and my Dr is 126. I think I will stick with the 130 tho. Take care and keep up the great work everyone. Congrats on all your success!!! Luv Danelle 231/144/130

Everyone seems to be doing terrific with their summer challenge! I didn't join the challenge this time around, since I'm pretty much hit and miss with the few pounds I actually lose each month. I do know I'd like to see 240lbs by my one year anniversary. That would put me into the "severely obese" category, a step down from "morbidly obese." Well, a girl can dream, anyway Pamela 352/251/150

Only 7 more to go to make it to my summer challenge goal & 12 to my personal weight goal. Start weight 153 current 147 challenge goal 140 We are all still doing pretty good! Julie 5'3" 248/147/135 -101

I forgot to post last week, so I don't know how much I've lost in the past two weeks. However, I am only three pounds from my summer challenge goal! Challenge start weight 182 Weight now 170 Challenge goal weight 167 That gives me three weeks to lose three pounds. I think I can manage that! Congrats to everyone else on all your hard work.

I started off the challenge at 173, my goal is 158, and I'm at 166 today; so I'm down 7 and almost halfway there! Mel, I can relate to your experience with your dad. Yesterday my friend asked how much more I wanted to lose, and I said I'd like to get down to 145, so essentially another 20 lbs. She was shocked and said I'd be a stick if I lost that much!!! I felt great, but somehow still have a hard time seeing myself as not fat (me - a stick???? ). Hugs, Nancy -111
