I joined the Discovery Health: National Body Challenge 7 weeks ago.  I challenged myself to loose 2 lbs per week for 8 weeks.  This would bring my weight down to 234 within 2 months.  I am now at 233 and still have one week left!!!  Now I’m on to my semester long goal.  I’m trying to get down to 200 or less by the end of the semester.  I’ve lost 17 lbs in 7 weeks and I have another 13 weeks to loose the additional 33 lbs, it’s going to be close but I think I can do it.  I’ve attached my data in case anyone wants to see how I’ve done it so far.
