GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!
I weighed in at 226.0 this morning for a loss of .6 of a lb.
Between the free day on Sunday, the Chinese on Tuesday, not enough "hard" exercise, and eating pre-packaged stuff out of the freezer this week (more sodium), I'm not a bit surprised that my weigh-in is this low.
I missed my 16 lb. goal for this month.
~HOWEVER~
I'M STILL THRILLED!!!!
I lost 15 lbs this month!!!! Which is the highest amount of weight I've lost in a month since I started blogging last June...even higher than my very first month when I lost 12 lbs.
So overall, this month's losses and this Beach Challenge have been a TOTAL success!!!
Thank you all so very much to everyone who joined in and tackled this challenge with me. You are ALL winners in my book and I'm proud and blessed to call you friends!!
Leave me your weigh-in on this post, either today or tomorrow, so I can tally up all the winners. If you hit the 10 lbs. lost mark...you're getting a tacky souvenir!! Woo Hoo!!
Dwayne and I will be leaving for the beach early tomorrow morning. I will be sure to do a post tomorrow night listing ALL of the winners, once everyone has had a chance to report their final weight.
I've got a full day ahead of me finishing up packing and wrapping up loose ends, so I'll check in periodically to check and post your weigh-in comments.
I would say "good luck", but I don't believe in luck. What you accomplished is all due to your determination, consistency, and effort, and I'm so proud of you all!!! :)
Wow, Tammy. That's rock-solid results. Way to get after it and rock that scale.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the beach.
WOOHOO! Congrats on the success of the challenge. It was fun to participate but I didn't reach the goal but I'm ok with that.
ReplyDeleteI lost 1.3 lbs. this week so I can't complain. Of course, I gained 1.5 last week so, ya know, it's a wash. Looking at the big picture though I've lost a total of 26.4 and I'm heading to the gym now. Consistency is the key, right?
I hope you have a wonderful time on vacation. Have fun shopping for tacky souvenirs.
Have a terrific vacation Tammy!!! Way way to go on the 15 lbs lost, just wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE YOU HAVE DONE AMAZINGLY WELL 15LBS IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT...DO THIS CHALLENGE IN 3 MONTHS AGAIN....
ReplyDeleteAM SURE YOU HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH THIS LAST MONTH, NOW WE NEED YOU TO DO A RECAP AND SHARE YOUR NEW FOUND KNOWLEDGE.
Hi Tammy. Over a stone lost in a single month! Fabulous! And as you say, it's all down to dedication and hard work. And accountability. Are you going to keep up with the photographing everything you eat?
ReplyDeleteI really hope that next month is just as successful.
Enjoy your beach trip - and I have some ocean photos for you on my latest post.

Congratulations, Tammy. You did fantastic. I was 199.6! Down .2 pound. But I'm in such a better place than I was last month at this time thanks to you! I've kind of flagged on the picture taking the last 2 days but intend to restart it, because those were the days I did the best.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful vacation. Don't forget sunscreen, and have some fun for me! You are a wonderful friend and a lovely person.
208 for my final weigh in. Great job on your loss for the month. It is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tammy! You did so wonderful! I didn't make the goal of 10 pounds, but I'm still trudging along. Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow! You rocked it this month!! You are my idol. ;D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations...I don't think I can even dream about losing 15 lbs in a month! That is fantastic! I weighed in this morning at....*drumroll please*.....159.8 - down 1.8 lbs!!! Okay so that is only a 3.6 lb weight loss for the month, but OMG I'm in the 150s! Thank you for hosting this challenge! I really stepped up my game because of it and had I not joined, I probably wouldn't have even lost the 3.6 lbs. I am not sure but this may be my highest month since my first week! Thanks again girl! Anymore challenges out there? I'M IN...GOING CHALLENGE CRAZY now! LOL.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS TAMMY!! I'm jealous. :)
ReplyDeleteI weighed in at 193.8 this morning. Booooooo. :(
Have a great trip and stay safe.
WTG Tammy! Awesome loss for the month. Congrats. My official final weigh in for the challenge is 247.0. Hope you guys have fun on your trip.
ReplyDeleteYou did terrific! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteNo tacky souvenir for me: 230.8.
Have a great trip!
You did GREAT Tammy! You should be very proud of 15lbs. and just think of all the people you have inspired and motivated to join you. WIN-WIN!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Tammy! That is AWESOME!!! You just proved that if you make it a priority, you can achieve amazing results!
ReplyDeleteYippee damned skippee, Tammy. You did great. 15 big ones done and gone!! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteYou did a Fabulous Job Tammy, I'm so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteI stayed the same so failed the challenge most miserabley with a 2 pound loss over 4 weeks:o)
Have a brilliant time at the beach, hope you and Dwayne have some great chillaxing time.
Love and Hugs

Way to go, Tammy! You're awesome! :-)
ReplyDeleteI lost .8 this week, which put me at 199.4. Didn't reach the 10 pounds, but I'm out of the 200s, so I'm happy!
Congrats Tammy! You have done sooo well and you totally deserve it with the hard work you have put in over the last month!
ReplyDeleteLost 2 this week, for a total of 8. No souvenir for me... haha
Welp I'm at 210.5 so no tacky souvenir for me, oh well! Good job though.
ReplyDeleteI FAILED!
Congratulations on your results...you should be proud as well as the results that your challenge participants received as well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your beach time...I hope your wrist won't get in the way of having some fun!
Hi! Well, I don't get a tacky souviner... 242. But life isn't at an end, I will keep plugging away... Especially since I have finally recovered from whatever messed up my ankle.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!

191.2!!!!!! I lost 10.3 pounds! I think if 201.5 was my starting weight! lol I'm going to a wedding today so I'm glad the weigh-in wasn't next week! lol Thanks for this awesome challenge! We should do it again sometime! :) Congrats on losing 15 lbs! You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats girl!!I clocked in at 212 yesterday morning. So, I didn't make the challenge goal. :( However, I have made huge strides in my 3 Day for the Cure fund raising and training. I've logged in 17 miles so far this week. I don't mind the weight coming off slower now that I'm preoccupied with my team.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all that made the goal - it was a great challenge! Have fun on vacation!
Wow, you did incredible! 15 lbs is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support you have given me. I'm hoping I may have turned a corner for the better.
Hope you have fun at hte beach.
AMAZING!!!! you rock girl!!
ReplyDeleteYAY YOU!!! I am so happy for you, Tammy! You absolutely tore this challenge apart!
ReplyDeleteAs for me... well, I didn't make the ten pound goal, but I'm still very happy about my results this month. Your challenge was exactly what I needed to stay focused! I weighed in yesterday (Friday, I mean, but I'm posting really late on Saturday / early Sunday morning) at 143.2. Then I figured that I would wait to report until today (Saturday) just in case I actually dropped the additional 1.6 pounds I needed to make goal (you know I always seem to weigh lower on my weigh days). BUT, for whatever reason (I am wondering if it was bloating from the antacids I had to take last night for my nausea) I actually weighed higher this morning at 144.4. So... if it's okay with you, I am going to claim the lower number for this challenge ;) so that I can feel good about an 8.4 pound loss!
I think I will leave the badge up on my blog if you don't mind though, just so that I can remember how far I came this late in the weight loss game. If I go by the lower number, that's still more than a 5% drop in body weight from the start of this challenge to the end! Thanks again for hosting this, Tammy!!!
Did I forget to email you with my final result? Bummer! I know I lost over 11 pounds. Oh well, it was a fun challenge for sure!
