Just found this, and thought I would share.

Hey ShadowSpider--I'm in MA, too :) Lots of us around here it seems! Nice one, Ben :D

It's pretty dead over at the Challenge website ;) I was surprised to see anyone post on here at all! I'm doing okay...I've had some rough patches and I'm nowhere near my goal for the end of July. But I'm down 12 pounds since the start of the challenge--only 12-22lbs left to go! My original goal was 140, but now that I'm at 153, I'm starting to think I've got a few more than 12lbs to go until I'm where I want to be :) 140-130 is probably where I'll end up.

Hope everyone else is well!

I've been working hard at it for 4 1/2 months down 34 lbs and starting to see definition to my arms and legs again. Still need to drop another 20 - 30. Even for a tall woman my original 264 was bad. got down to 250 and stalled out for a while. Should break 229 today.

Imma side with Kim and say thats AWE INSPIRING progress!!!

btw Kim, progress is progress. As long as you keep your goals reasonable and in sight, then with a bit of work you can accomplish them.

Unlike y'all, my goal is to GAIN weight. I'm 6ft, and 165 and my goal is to get to 180 (while maintaining 10% body fat) since I am still considering commissioning in the marines as an officer if my plans of being a large animal Veterinarian fall through.

Kim, How tall are you? What's your diet like? I've seen recent pics and I think you look great, your a curvy type of woman. I go to a gym 4 day's a week and see thin ladie's working thier ass off, to be toothpick's its sick. I'm really big into nutrition and working out, so if you have any question's dont hesitate to ask. :)

I'm at 6ft and 190 with 13% BF, are you taking any supplement's right now? Diet is key for putting on muscle stick with lean meats, beans, anything high in protein and low on the fat side. Try to use olive oil alot, good for producing testosterone. Your gonna need alot of calories to gain weight, but im sure you'll do it. :)

I'm 5'7". I definitely think I'm looking WAY better than I used to, for sure. I'm just not quite where I want to be yet. I'm definitely not stick-thin and don't think I ever really could be--it's just not my body type.

I lost most of the weight off of my upper body first, dropping bra/shirt sizes and I'm only just starting to take it off my stomach/thighs/hips more noticeably now. I lost about 25 pounds before I even dropped a pants size--and another 5 beyond that before I felt comfortable in the new size :) But now these 13s are feeling looser by the day, so I think my body's finally letting go of the stomach/hip fat.

I just recently made a "progression" photo slip of myself for some motivation I'm fairly sure the photos from 2004/2005 were around 185 give or take about 5 pounds. I held steady at 185 for a long time. Didn't start losing weight until January 2006.:

Hoping to add more to it in another month or so :D

ATM I am only taking vitamin supplements and watching my diet. I have been hardcore into sports such as swimming, waterpolo, lacrosse and soccer for many years, and b/c of my body type I was only able to tip the scale at 145. I was known as the slender beast on my lacrosse team. Then when I went off to college and joined the corps (A&M's ROTC program), I started taking protein shakes and that helped me get up to my current weight of 165. When I came back home for the summer, I found my parents arn't too keen on my taking of supplements so I had to stop the protein shakes for the time being. I still hit the gym and the track hard, yet have noticed only minimal size/weight gains in the last 2 months. I am planning on re-starting the protein shakes, and possibly creatine once I get back to A&M, and hopefully getting nearer my goal of 180.
