I'm not going to go into all my meals for 5 days suffice it to say I did *very* well, no cheating, kept under my calorie goal, etc. No fast food, no alcohol, no sweets.

My measurements on Day 11 were as follows
Chest - 37
Arms - 11
Thighs - 22
Hips - 38
Waist - 31
Weight - 143
My OVERALL TOTAL LOSS was 2 pounds and 3.25 inches!
Even with such good results, I was not the winner of the challenge. I actually had two winners. One person had more inches than anyone and the other more pounds than anyone! I'm really pleased with how it worked out. I call it a success and I think I'll be doing more of these in the future.
Personally, this WAS a challenge. There were days I wanted to do nothing, days I wanted to eat greasy cheeseburgers but the whole point is to resist and push through. It really showed me, and I think it showed the other participants, that if we can commit to a healthy lifestyle we can see amazing results. We FEEL better, not only physically, but mentally. We prove to ourselves that we are capable. It seems a small thing but how you feel affects so many areas of your life. Exercise really is a cure all.
