@SunsetRunner I think as long as you have hope and keep trying, it will happen. I didn't reach my goal, either, but I keep learning what's not working and I keep changing things. See you over in the next thread!

Hi everyone!!

Well this challenge was a bust for me!  Lost a grand total of 0.2 pounds… well at least I am going in the right direction and I will take that!

And my final weigh in this morning (May 28th) was 177.6

See you in the next challenge!!  Congrats to everyone who met their goal -- I am envious!

@SunsetRunner Congrats! 6 pounds is good! You have a lot of things complicating your journey but you keep at it. I admire that.
