Melanie: 84 points!!!

Michele thank you so much for this challenge I have never been consistent with anything like this before. Thank you Nichole I'm pretty sure that you helped to keep me inspired. You gave my that push I guess I'm a bit competitive. Anyway I plan to keep this routine.
Thanks again.

I am posting points for Tracy, she added hers up and she has 909.

Kierstin-82 points

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this. I have totally noticed a difference and plan to stick to most of it. Some things are hard with the holidays, but at least not eating after 7:30 and taking it easy on sweets. I definitely don't crave sweets like I used to. I am now in the habit of reading my scriptures and writing in my journal. This challenge has been great and it feels good to have accomplished it and that I never gave up. Thanks Michelle. You are wonderful!

Marianne-81 points

Okay, this last 2 weeks have been the hardest of the total 12 weeks.
What's up with that?
I woke up this morning so relieved that it's over but then worried that I'll go back to old habits because the motivation is gone.
The New Year, Michele. That's my vote to start this again.
Also, what's up with the perfect scores? You two are not normal.
It's been an adventure, thank you.

Nan

Ok I am not sure how many weeks I need to report. Last two weeks I have 136 points.

Yoakum Points

Nichole had 84 points and Jeff had 65 points. Thanks for doing this challenge!

Andrea-75 Points

Thanks for the challenge... and it was a challenge. I've learned that I'm better off having a little sweet and then I don't obsess. So, I've accepted that about myself, but hope to continue to moderate myself. Especially with the upcoming holiday months. Best wishes to everyone else!

Well.......things are winding down for us with only two days left of this challenge. I hope that you all have found this to be fun, eye-opening and yes, at times challenging.

If any of you want to do this again next year....let me know!!!! Make sure you get your points in by Monday, November 1st so we can award the perspective challengers their winnings on Wed.

Melanie: 84 points!

Crystal - 82 points

So I'm usually losing sugar points, but this week it was the soda points that did me in. It was quite the week. Good think today is Sunday, otherwise I'm pretty sure I would have taken another trip to 7Eleven.

Marianne 83 points

I'm glad it's the last week. I'm getting ornery.
I would like to start this up again in January after I've gained my 10 lbs. back :)

It's the sugar!

It's the sugar, people. I don't know about you but when I increase the sugar in my diet I gain weight. YUK, why am I an addict?
