Well, folks, AGAIN I got dropped.

I am in the "need to lose more than 100 pounds" category. I started with my top weight of 355. Lost to 300. Sat around there for a while. Now I'm at 275. I'm exercising a little every day, due to health issues can't do much, but I'm moving every day and that is a big accomplishment for me.

This last month I've lost 9 pounds, so far. I'm hoping to be the winner because my daughter is having another baby in February. I want to make her a new diaper bag with the FQs. (counting my chickens before they hatch!)

I love this group. Motivating and caring.

Patimint - My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Take it one day at a time and remember you are hugged by all of us.

Lisa in MO, When's the wedding? What are you hoping to wear? Please be reasonable in your goals, you can do this!
Lucky for me not until November..but would like to be able to have the weight off before summer. I haven't gone dress shopping yet...but need to go looking soon!

As soon as everyone PM's Trupeach1 with their loss then she will annouce the winner then it is our responsibility to contact the winner for their address.

If I were going to be home during January I might take up the challenge but we will be going on a 2 week cruise and I am sure that my weight at the end of the month will be higher than it will be at the beginning. I am sure I will have to work at weight loss during February. I wish you and all who take up the challenge well.
