So been keeping quiet about the weight loss contest...

I haven't been doing too bad on it though. There are several people going at it Biggest Loser style, and are dropping an average of 5-10 pounds a week (although I do wonder if they'll keep it up after the contest...). Personally, I dropped five pounds first week, gained them back the next thanks to my monthly, and have steadily dropped an average of two pounds since then, which leaves me at a total of 8 'official' pounds (plus the yo-yo weight of five for a total of 13) loss.

So, not too bad at all. Probably not enough to win the contest, but then I didn't expect to win anyway because I'm using it as an excuse for motivation rather than to win the prize. :)

The good news is that I'm now officially back in the 180s, which makes me very very happy.

Good work!
I've lost, like, 1 lb since January 1. However, since my goal is 12 lbs gone this year (which will bring me down to a "normal" BMI) I figure maybe I'll make it by Christmas.

It's still awesome that you are sticking to it and doing it for the right reasons. I hope the numbers keep falling steadily :)
