| OWF- I know what you mean too about it being more difficult when you're closer to your goal! I have always wanted to just get to 135 and be able to stay there!!! The lightest I've ever been was 136 and that only lasted for like a week! I feel like I've been at or around 140 for ever! My problem is when I start craving something I tell myself "oh well, I only have 5 lbs. to lose, I shouldn't be so picky" and then I dig in!!! Then I feel like #%@&! afterward and depressed, and I think being depressed makes it even more difficult to lose the weight! Summer is coming up though... so I'm hoping that will help! I eat a lot more healthy in the summer time because all I want is fruit and water... and sometimes hotdogs over the fire! Plus I go to the lake all the time. This summer I plan on getting into running. i think if I just go a littel further each day I'll be ready to run really far by the end of the summer! Maybe summer will be good for you too? Sorry everyone pressures you to be so skinny... that must make it more difficult.

Well, I am here to report, no loss but NO gain either. Still at 140. I agree those last 10 pounds are sooo hard to loose. But I am not giving up!

Attention all Easter Challengers. The countdown has started. Only 4 days to go!!! I know with the holiday weekend getting on our scales won't be the focus of our day so anytime you want to post your updated weights I will update the chart.
I am going to copy the chart on to page seven here so it is easier to find.
Let's go!
Patchers
Thanks Peter for starting a challenge forum. Excellent idea.

| I have lost one more pound. I am now 139. Started at 143 so total loss is 4 pounds. It may be slow but as long as it is coming off, I am happy. This challenge has really motivated me. Could we do another one and set a goal for like Mother's Day. Maybe call it the Mother's Day Challenge.

Babyjune you have just put us over the 70 pound loss mark! Congratulations. And I totally agree ANY loss makes me happy. I am so glad you enjoyed the Easter challenge. I think it helped a lot of us stay focused.
Why don't you post a message under the challenge forum and see how much interest there is in another challenge right away and you could be the hostess of it. I see Peter has given challenges its very own forum home.
Again congratulations on the loss and thanks for being an important part of the Easter challenge. Happy Easter!

Good morning, everyone, and Happy Easter!
I'm happy to report that my final weight this morning in the Easter challenge is 152.6! That's a total loss of 11.4 pounds for me!
I wasn't expecting to lose this much, but it's amazing what being sick for a couple of weeks can do. Not that I recommend that way of losing weight. Diverticulitis is extremely painful. Now that I am feeling better, I just hope I can keep this weight off, and even continue to lose more.
Thank you so much for this challenge, Patchers! You did a great job!

Woo Hoo !!!! I have done it even though I haven't really done very well diet wise this past few weeks. I have kept up the exercise and watched how much I ate, not necessarily what I have eaten. I have tried, but things have been so on the go and I haven't had time to plan..........but, final weight loss 6 lbs...I lost 4 this past week. Probably was water, no longer on the steroids havent been for about a week. I weigh 216lbs.
Easter
Long Term

Hope everyone is having a Blessed Easter.
This morning's weigh in was not all that I expected, but was OK. Between TTOM and no exercise because of a muscle pull, and not great eating the last 3 days of watching grandchildren...........I weighed in at 162.2 this morning. I believe my starting weight was 168.8..........so a loss of 6.6 lbs.
It was enough to get me motivated and get the lbs coming off, even if it wasn't 10 lbs. like I'd hoped.
Thanks, Patchers, for doing this and getting us all going, however far we were able to go!

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!
I cant really report back myself because I am too scared to step on the scalefor fear that I have gained weight again. Sorry. I have let myself down BUT the good news is: I am back on track as of right now! I set my goal for the day after Easter to get back on the wagon-and that is TODAY!! I have a new attitude about myself and I plan on not dwelling on the bad but moving forward to the good I can accomplish! I am joining the Memorial Day challenge and goal is to be healthier than I am right now! Anyone else interested in going further can sign up too!
___________edit
OK. so to be honest. I am heavier now than I have been in MONTHS! The scale said 141 lbs this morning. So, I am up 6-7 pounds from the beginning of the easter challenge. I am probably the only one who GAINED weight while trying to lose it oer 6 weeks. I am not giving up though.

I know I'm very late in checking in - sorry Patchers! I did NOT lose any more weight this past week so my total loss for the challenge was only 4 pounds.
147 - 143 = 4 pound loss
I also want to add my thanks to Patchers for this challenge. It was fun and motivating - I can't wait for the next one!
