I haven't been in the challenge this time, but I just want to say good going, you guys!

And I want to report my success. For the last month my weight loss has been accelerating...ever since I got a heart rate monitor and I KNOW how many calories I burned on my work outs. So, from December, 2006 to now, I've lost 35 lbs with the last 5 or 6 dropping off in the last 5 weeks or so.

I, too, couldn't manage to keep up with a challenge...pushes all my "stubborn buttons" or sumthin', but ya'll keep going!!! Good luck!
