      Thanks Joy, I appreciate it. Good on you on your inch losses too and the weight loss. Its a bigger deal for you to loose cos you are so close to goal. Its so difficult to loose when you've less to go. Your shoulders really shrunk didnt they? Mine too! 5" went! Way hay!

        I think this challenge will prove that inches are more important than pounds...if we didn't know that already!

          Elsy, GREAT results!! 30 pounds is awesome!

          Julie, great job on the pounds by any standars -- and 47 inches?! Holy cow -- that's awesome! And yes, I see a big difference on those photos... smaller waist, hips, thighs, face, and your collarbones are practically jutting through your skin!

          Joy, 5 inches is 5 inches, girl! Clearly, you continue to shrink, and I have no doubt you'll be back where you want to be in no time.

          ---------

          Well, as suspected, I didn't reach my onderland goal. In fact, my scale wouldn't register this morning at all, but I'm calling it at 202. Here are my stats:

          Weight ---------------- DOWN 13 pounds
          Body fat percentage --- DOWN 2%
          Fat mass ------------- DOWN 10 pounds
          Total inches lost------- DOWN 19 inches

          I'm most happy that 5 of those inches lost are in my THIGHS, which is one spot I really need it! I think it's all those lunges and squats in Power class...

          I took photos but don't have a means to post them at the moment. I'll put them up tomorrow.

          It's been fun, you guys. Looking forward to Labor Day!

            As I didn't take before pics - I so wish I had now, any newbies reading this - be brave!, I've pulled a photograph of me before I started this woe - it was taken in January on my hols with dbf. I would have been in or around 240 in that pic. aargh... The second pic was taken last night - at 224 ish.... Only a face shot, but I think there is a difference in the roundness of my face! Most people have commented on how much smaller my face has become now! Thank Goodness....

                Yes, Carmel -- big difference! Your face looked very round before. Now, it's a pretty heart-shape.

                      Hey guys. I logged in earlier today and I swear a posted all my comments on all you beautiful ladies. WOW! I can't find it. That had never happened to me. Hmmmmmmmmmm..

                      Well to make the long story short, I am so excited to see Julie shrinking like crazy, Carmel looking beautiful with her beautiful long thinner face, Adena lowering her numbers and committed to run 3 marathons in 3 months (can't get over that one), Joy for using this challenge to achieve her goal weight and now ready to keep going. That is so amazing you all. Are you guys feeling like a rush or a high of energy? I know I am. I am so excited for all of us.

                        Elsy I know what you mean! This challenge was superb, and I'm really excited for the Labor Day Challenge. I want to continue this "losing" streak, and I hope we all continue to lose those pounds and inches. I'm still amazed that you lost 30 pounds in a single challenge! WOW!

                                John Stamos says "Don't take ambien at 5 in the morning." Did you hear all that about him being out of it in an interview? LOL
