I have to chime in with some support for my fellow weight loss Pelicans. I am not in the challenge, but had my own challenge late last year. I ended up losing 35 lbs in 11 weeks from October until late December and have since lost another 15 lbs. I am 5' nothing and went from 185 lbs to my current weight of 134 lbs, with a revised goal of 125 lbs. I never thought I would lose this much weight. I dropped 5-6 waist sizes and now shop for size small clothes. It is strange for me, because I have always been a very stocky build and now I am getting pretty lean. I feel good.
This was an intentional lifestyle change for me. I lost the weight simply by watching what I eat. I eat mostly at home now, so I can control my portion size and preparation. I drink small quantities of light beer now and no Starbucks Frapuccinos.
Anyway, keep up the good work guys! It is worth it!
