Final Mickey Mouse weigh-in, week 18 (1/7)

Well this is it boys and girls, I want to thank everyone for participating and hanging in there.  It's been 18 weeks and the hope is that you've all made some progress towards your goal of eating right, exercising, and maintaining a good balance over this part of the off season.  It's kept me honest and now that I've started my 2008 workout plan, I can go into this season with a fresh beginning.  Having dropped a few pounds since last August, I don't feel like I need to spend the first 2-3 months taking off that "holiday excess" for the first time.  Even if this weekly weigh in has kept you steady, it's done its job!  I'm at 177.0 today, so officially down 14 lbs since we started the challenge and 18 lbs since doing Lake Placid last July.
