I can’t believe it is over already! Man how time does fly when you are having fun and really this was a great time for me because I got to torture them.
First for those of you new to the game let me remind you how it started. You can find the first challenge post here.

Diane- Wow I can’t believe you are down 13.5 pounds. Your pictures look shocking. You really look great
Etana- I am so proud of you. I know this was hard for you to get through but look, you did it you finished and you look amazing!
Rachel- I can’t wait to see your pictures!
Lori- That is not the same woman in those pictures! Wow you really look great, and down 11 inches! I am impressed
Diana- I am sorry you didn’t finish but you still lost and I appreciate you posting today
Matt- Oh my god your pictures…your stomach disappeared
You look great!
Debby- I think you will enjoy the fit cast today
Thank you for going though this and I am glad that you Lost and now are set on your next goal 
Sinead- Sweet Sinead, I just wanted to say thank you again. I know that you have helped so many people get through this challenge and kept everyone focused and excited about the challenge. Thank you for being your smiling wonderful self!
I had a bit of a refeed today with 1 restaurant meal in an Indian restaurant, about 2000 cal of clean healthy refeed!!! (I did this because this week had a 4-day medical fast of 350 cal/day, and I didn’t want my calories to be so low for the week; the average was still about 1000cal/day)…
Tomorrow is another day of the same actions that I did this month to give me results: my food is planned in fitday, my exercise routine set, going to bed on time tonight, need to pay attention to my water intake which never quite makes a gallon…
Best of luck to all of you… we have really seen that we CAN cause results, and Quickly… Let’s all GET IN AND GET OUT of this darn deficit/diet cycle, and learn the challenges of maintenance, sooner rather than later!!
cheers! Etana
I went from 122.8 at the beginning to 116.4 this morning. Sorry so late! Pics sent to Leigh.
Congratulations, earthlings!
Sorry for the late post – down 7 pounds from beginning of challenge, and can crank out 30 kick-ass push ups.
Next time I do this, I’ll take measurements as well.
Great job, everyone!
Leigh – I lost 5.8 pounds total for the challenge, not 13.5. I really like the results, though. I am really glad you had us take pictures. It really showed me how much my body changed in just 30 days! Thanks again and sorry for the confusion on the pounds lost.
Hi All
I haven’t posted much, but have been following your progress. Major major Congrats to all. It takes Hard Work and Dedication to go thru a challenge like that. You are champs!!
Leigh, I don’t remember the name of it, but if this were hockey you’d get the coach of year trophy!!
Haha sorry Diane I meant inches when I put pounds! I was tired
Thank-you Leigh for the comments. I’m ok with not finishing, under the circumstances it was the smartest thing to do. (I’m the one who did the hatchet job on my hand earlier this week.) It would have been too easy to contaminate the wound with food prep especially the raw meat. This has been enough of a pain in the neck as it is so I’m all for following dr’s orders and doing whatever I can to avoid infection. Plus I don’t think it would be fair to the others to continue as I didn’t do 30 days of food prep.
I still enjoyed the challenge and learned a lot.
Diana
Hi all,
Sorry I’m so late in posting, I was at hunting camp since Friday and I wasn’t able to get on-line.
Congratulations to everyone!! The results are amazing. Aleks, Pauline, Mike, Karen and Annelle, it was my honor to be part of the crew with you all. I can’t wait to see what we do with this going forward…
Calling it–That is the biggest compliment of them all–thanks.
Leigh–I’m ready to get started with whatever you have planned for me.
Congrats again to everyone.
Hey, how much money is getting donated to St. Judes?? and how much did the guys lose?? (I owe you some money).
Jim- All of the Guys ended up losing 68.5 pounds! And Leigh left the link to St. Judes on her newest post!
Anna- Fantastic! I obviously did get you pictures in email.
Ann- You did a great job! Thanks for checking in and very cool with the push ups!
Annie- Miracle? I love that movie. I am amazing
