Congratulations to everyone who participated, but especially ctay122, heather, TedE and "Atlantic" for getting all the way to the 10% mark.

Of course a lot of these results are pretty old, so if anyone has any additional losses that aren't posted here, let me know and I'll make the changes to preserve it for posterity's sake.

And congratulations to YOU, Bill, for losing 18 pounds. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job hosting this forum. Most of us didn't meet our goals, but you know what? It's June 1st, and Labor Day is just three short months away - who's in for losing 5% of their body weight over the summer?

Certainly a noble goal for some and not at all morbid--as opposed to the acid bath suggested by Al Dente's response. Having a concrete number set at the beginning makes sense and no doubt it inspired serious effort once initial piddling got me nowhere. Yet once I realized I would be short a few pounds of my goal, my progress faltered. I began justifying too much, cutting back on days of exercise, etc. I still lost weight in May, but could have done a lot better had I felt a 10% loss feasible before the end of the month. Perhaps if we were all forced to wear bathing suits to the picnic this weekend, it might have been different.

I'm game for continuing the process and plan to post a few times a month. I'd like to strive for:
  • a steady rate of losing weight until I meet my ultimate goal
  • keeping off the pounds lost
  • maintaining, varying and/or increasing physical exercise
  • minimal indulgence in fattening food & drink
I'd welcome the solidarity.

Well put, Anna and Don. I definitely ran out of steam in May, and a 2 week sojourn in Europe didn't help (but I only gained 2 lbs). That said, I did actually lose 23 lbs. starting in October - quite a bit more than 10% of body weight, so I'm happy about that. Still would like to take off 8 or so more and think checking in a few times through the summer is a good idea. I'll give it a try!
