Congratulations to everyone who participated in #272. Tina is the winner of that round.

This is a challenge to lose 5lbs at a time, hence the name "5 Pounds Challenge."

Anyone can join at anytime. Just add your name in with 5 lbs to go. Update your weight as often as you like and move yourself up in the ranks accordingly. When someone loses 5lbs we will start a new thread and begin again. *There can be more than 1 winner in the same day*

GOOD LUCK!

Oh it's always fun when the new round starts and I am at an all time low. Oh well.

Congratulations Tina and thanks for getting that over with. Thanks Jschwab for starting the new round. Good job Ellen. Congratulations to everyone who stuck with us.

If this new low of mine sticks (and who knows if it will) this may be my last round of this group since I am down to 2 pound above goal. However I am going to England and Scotland for 16 days in October so I will probably be back to trying to lose 5 pounds after I get back. I have hung onto this way of eating for over a year with only one vacation so who knows what will happen when I throw caution to the wind for a while. I will by habit continue to stay on plan, but I may also yield to temptation on good bread and yogurt. (Not haggis however)

Nawchem deserves the credit for starting it. Thanks, Nawchem.

That is an exciting sounding trip, omablue, and it's neat to think you are so close to goal. I have 16 pounds to go, so it's just three challenges and change but, yes, we all know how these go when life gets in the way.

Thank you Nawchem for starting the thread.
Welcome Green Fern I don't think I have seen you for ages.

I am indeed really excited for this trip. My son is a college music professor and he is teaching in London for the fall semester. So his whole family, including my 2 grandsons are there. The boys are 6 and 10 and we are missing them like crazy. We usually get to see them a couple of times a week. I didn't think I was going to miss them so much. I have never been to the UK although my husband has been several times on business.

That is so much fun. You will enjoy it!

Exactly 15 pounds to go to goal and lowest weight since doing these challenges (after a lot of bouncing).
