Hi, Richard. I can't find the Rules link for some reason....I know it's just me! Can you tell me the date it was posted?
I never posted a before picture and am trying to find out if this disqualifies me from going for the W or if I can post both before & after at the same time. (The "before" was pretty awful...I decided it would never see the light of day unless the "after was better, LOL!)

Finally broke into the 180's!! Woo hoo! Weighed in at 189 down 1 pound from 190. Not sure how much I have lost during the challenge - I gained a few during a family emergency and had to re-lose those pounds.
Here's a link to the rules:

Hi Richard, Weighed in yesterday at 270 which is the same. Think all the walking helped me over the "jellybean" holiday..........
I am pleased with 10 pounds for the challenge. If I'd do that every 3 months, gee that mounts up in a year.......
Will do the after picture as soon as I can get one done.
Tks for all you guys do

I lost 1-1/2 pounds this week. What a way to finish up the challenge. I hope my "after" pictures show up in my profile here. It has been a hoot doing this challenge! I really have changed a lot of my lifestyle habits that we were taught were "good" for you. I have also learned how my body reacts to eating different carbs -- at different times of the day. I am weighing in at 133 -- please tell Linda (beachvan) that she owes me a badge!!! Love those badges. I am also able to get in my size 8 bathing suit -- that is a WOW.
Hi Richard,
Just trying to see if I can get this to work. Before:

After:
http://s1015.photobucket.com/albums/af276/frostikitty/?action=view¤t=photo-1.jpg
Lost 5.6 pounds and 2 inches around my waist and one inch around my bust, it is hard to see that from the pictures. Hate having my picture taken - easy to tell that from my expression, I know.

YEAH!! I DID IT!!
Final weigh-in: 197.5 lbs Total weight loss since Jan 4th: 30.5 lbs
I took my measurements again at the beginning of April. Since Jan 4th, I've lost 1 inch in my arm, 2.5 inches in each of my chest, hips, and thigh, and 4 inches in my waist, for a total of 12.5 inches overall.
My before and after pictures are below. I'm not real happy with the "after" one -- if I can get a better one, I'll replace it.

April 2010Thank you, and Teresa, Linda, and all the guest experts, for all your help, support, and advice. This would have been much harder, if not impossible, without you all!
ok Richard, here's the before and after....not sure much difference with 10 lbs except for attitude!!! I can do this.

Before 156.2 poundsLost 4.6 pounds - not too much BUT one whole dress size, 2 inches from waist, 1 from bust in the New Years Challenge. As I said - this is probably after the time limit, but I did post links to these pictures in an email last week
Richard,
Sorry - I just couldnt fix the pictures - when I pull up my post, I see both of them - can you direct me to the FAQ that I can use?

I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone who lost weight. I went down, then traveled home and indulged and I'm now working on taking that off. Still overall in the negative. I never was in this to win the challenge (can't anyway since I live overseas) but I thought the support and pressure would help. I definitely will sign up again for the next one. When will it start?
LindaR, we're working on the next official challenge as we speak! It will start within a few weeks, so watch this message board for more information!
Ok, Richard, one more try. Seriously, this is harder than losing weight. I really don't like having my picture taken - fat or thin and having to manipulate the dreaded images over and over is a real buzz kill.

Plus, even though I know I went from a size 8 to a size 6 during the challenge, these pictures don't exactly make for high drama. But you have been so great and helpful, I just had to try again. Thanks for everything, except making me look at myself in photos for the last two days :)
