Good luck, all, whatever you decide :) I think I'll make mine to get to 160 lbs by Christmas time. BUT I will try not to think about it too much. It's just a guideline I have decided to set for myself - perhaps it may help me, to set some kind of 'focused' goal. S Day Sunday: have been nibbling more...

Hi girls!! Thanks for dropping in! OOLALA: sounds like a plan!

Hi! Hope you don't mind me chiming in with my two cents' worth! I, too, am around the same height as yourselves (5'7").

Hi oolala! :D :D Thanks for your nice, encouraging words! End of my 90 days? you know, I'm such a goof, I got a bit mixed up with the dates!

NoSRocks

TA! DA!

Official weigh in results:

Starting Weight (90 day challenge) back in July: 173 lbs

Ending Weight today (Sept 9th 2011) : 165 lbs

Also for the 'record', my lowest weight during this period was 164.5 lbs!!

HI ALL! Just popping in here to remind myself that tomorrow - Friday September 9th is my official weigh in day! I wish I could say I hadn't weighed between then and when I first started - LOL! - but I just couldn't help myself !

Great job, herbsgirl! Glad you found my comments helpful - I'm still very much on a learning curve, myself, btw.

NoSRocks

Hey Who Me? - that sounds like a really great idea.
