The jig is up ya'll! over, done, fin So how did everyone do? I shot out the gate with a 10 lb loss within the first week then hit the wall and have been yo-yo-ing for the entire challenge. As of this morning I am down 12 sorry ass lbs since the beginning of this challenge. As I stated before I realized fairly early that my goal was overly ambitious but that doesn't make my small progress any easier to swallow. I plan to keep pushing and have a goal I'd like to meet by year end. I am also motivated by my 20 year class reunion next summer. Currently based on what I see on facebook I damn near smoke the broads of 1990 as is, (MEOW!) but I still wanna fine tune my fineness and not spend all spring and summer doing it, so I'm starting another mission and you are welcome to join me in that if you wish. To everyone who met their original goal...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! To everyone who did'nt...the honeymoon may be over, but there is no expiration date on your tool! Keep pushin!

Count me in on the new mission. I'm down 6 pounds as of Labor Day wanted 10 but I'll take those 6. I'm still on my mission to get the extra pounds off to meet my original goal. So I'm on high protein and lots of water. Gonna see where this leads me hopefully in the right direction.

Good Morning Her Royalness,

My Labor Day goal was to lose 57lbs which would have put me in onederland.  Unfortunately I didn't make it .  I hit a few stalls and sabotaged myself more than a few times by not following the rules.  I lost 42.5 lbs during the challenge and I have 14.5 to go to make it to 199. 

I'm proud and elated about the progress I've made and I'll keep on working towards my goal.  I hope to make it to onederland before Halloween.

Now that school is back in session for mini me I'll have to work that much harder with less time in the gym but I'm determined to leave the 200's in the dust.

                                                              Honeymoon Challenge!

I don't remember the total I wanted to loose but I missed my goal of 167.5 by 1.3 lbs.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 

... but in the interest of full disclosure ...  I hit 168.8 last week and thought for sure that last bit would be gone before the weekend was up.  Then yesterday I put on 2 lbs of water weight and another 0.6 lbs of water today so now I'm at 171.4 and 3.9 lbs away.    I know its jus****er but I am my scales ***** 

I'm ready for the next mission.

Hey everyone!  I started the challenge at 208 and I think I said I wanted to be in 160's-150's by labor day.  I made that goal as I weigh in at 154 this morning.  That's 54 pounds lost.  I too wanna "fine tune my fineness" as you put it and am game for the next mission so sign me up!  My honeymoon period isn't over yet (I will be 9 months out on the 15th of Sept) so hopefully,  I will be able to lose another 20-30#'s by my year mark (20 my goal;30 surgeon's goal). Every pound gets us closer to our goal and I will never ever take for granted the opportunity this tool has given me.  I am so much more healthier for me, my kids and my husband!  I am now looking forward to winter 'cause those sweater dresses are looking mighty cute to me this year with some cute boots,lol.  I'm gonna keep on pushing and congratulate all of you on your success.  Let's continue to Get It!
My goal 135; current 132;  pre-op highest 285; I have lost more than I weigh...  I my RNY!

I lost a total of 12 pounds.  At least I didn't gain.  I've got this maintaining thing down.  Too bad I haven't hit goal yet.  I didn't follow the rules because I was stressed out...  I'm emotional eater so thank God I can't pig out anymore.  I'm 4 pounds from being overweight.    My revised goal... I'm hoping to drop 15 pounds by the end of the year.  I'm not going to overestimate and try to drop the whole 34 pounds by the end of the year.

girl you're preaching to the choir. I can't remember the last time a week passed without some type of catastrophe so I'm stressed the hell out too, but we can do this!!!
