Count me in for the next one as well. I feel like maybe I'm finally getting a groove going. Commuting on the bike really has helped. I'm upping my mileage but really weak on getting out on my mountain bike. The humidity here is amping up and tomorrow it's supposed to be hot. UGH. I'm going to try and ride anyway. I love it even if it's not on dirt, I guess it'll do

170.6 this morning. A whopping total of 1.8 pounds lost for this challenge.
But, as Lynnette said, it helps me be accountable. Great job, Lynnette!
Count me in for the next one.

Final Weight - 138.2
I am very pleased!
This thread was very inspiring to me. Nice job, everyone. Whether you ended up losing weight or not, just the fact that you all participated is wonderful. It means that you are paying attention to your health.
Let's all do it again!

Reviewing back at the chart!!
Hey, Tahoe, great job on your challenge success! Slow and steady is the best way to go! I find it gives my body time to adjust and gives me more acceptance of the dietary changes that I can actually learn to maintain.

Can I join in the next time? When will it be?
I need something to motivate me and make me accountable. I didn't join this one cause it had already started and I figured I would wait for the next one.
So I guess I should just watch this thread for the next challange huh?
Congratulations to you all for your hard work!!!Donna

Final weight was not as good as I had hoped, but I am down to 206.5. Could be worse. At least I am down from my starting weight so it is a small step in the right direction. And I will keep going for the July/August challenge.

Hey Everyone!
Here it is...the final chart of our challenge. First though...a few stats:
1) Lynette ended up not only being the only person to reach her goal, but she also posted the highest % of total starting weight lost at 4.56%! Excellent work!
2) Coming in second in % of body weight lost (by a very narrow margin) but FIRST FOR THE MOST LBS LOST...was Possegal with a whopping 8.4 lbs lost. Impressive!!
All in all, the whole group lost a total of 65.8 lbs!!
The only negative stat is that of the 32 people who signed up for this challenge, only 18 of us posted a final weigh in.
That's only a 56% finishing rate, people! Let's try and do better next month, ok? 
All in all, a very impressive effort was made by all. Congratulations!!

Not true, I met my goal! I aimed for 177 and weighed in on friday at 176.6, so I get a yellow block too! Originally Posted by GLC1968

I'll likely keep the goal of a lb a week for the next challenge, but any week where there is more is always a bonus!!
Thanks to all of you for the encouragement and the challenge aspect alone really helps me get moving when I would rather lie on the couch.
And of course thanks to GLC for the hard working of keeping us all tabulated.
