As you can see, Week 8 did not go as well as I hoped! Once again, I only lost one pound. I really was hoping to lose three. Technically, I’m still on pace to reach my contest goal of losing 36 pounds – at the two-thirds point I’ve lost 25 pounds. Realistically, I’m thinking for the first time that I might not make my goal. I’m still hopeful and I’m still happy that I am losing weight. Here’s to a strong finish in the final third of the contest! Marko is kicking serious butt (he’s lost just shy of 47 pounds) – there may not be any bigger losers than Marko!
