June Challenge - How's it going Marchers?

I've lost 11 pounds since the challenge started.

I am down 10 since sign up. I have lost 75 total. I am working out 4 times a week and eating right. I feel good! LaDonna

I think that is 112 just from these postings! GO MARCHERS!! Joy

I have lost only 4 additional pounds since the start of June -- looks like I need to change something in my daily intake or pray that my plateau of 246 lbs will start to fall. I have been walking a lot: anywhere from 2.0 to 5.5 miles a day and am wondering if this has anything to do with it. Muscle weighs more than fat, I know, but I would think that with all this walking, I would have lost more weight. I am trying to keep happy thoughts in my head, like at least I am down from the 299 lbs I was carrying after Christmas (at surgery, I weighed 292 lbs), which is a heck of a lot better than where I was last summer, but still it is frustrating. Any words of comfort or wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Rita -46

You are right there with me, except that I went on a Hersheys binge this week and the resulting dumping dropped me to -49!!! (Hopefully cured me too!!) Hang in there, it is not the speed, but the direction that counts! Joy -49

I'm down 7 pounds since sign-up. Karen L

I've lost 5.9 lbs. so far. This challenge has definitely helped me show up at the gym more and stay on track with making the lifestyle changes, doing the self-care every day instead of drifting off, etc. I think it's been even more motivating than starting to fit in some clothes I like. It's something about the accountability to the group, doesn't feel like a burden because it's supportive rather than critical. Gano

I'm flirting with -8. We officially tell you on the 30th right? Jen

Dear Joy, I knew I could count on you to cheer me up! A Hershey's binge, you say? Sounds like a grand idea to me; I'll try it! No, seriously, you are an inspiration to us all, and I thank you from the bottom of my lowered-cholesterol heart! God bless you for your endless optimism and kind , uplifting words that never fail to bring a smile. I love your sense of humour. God bless! Rita
