Last Wednesday, you weighed in for the third time since our America Takes It Off: Shrink a Size initiative launched on January 1. This week, 36 of you stepped on the scale and told us what it revealed. I've got good news for you.

You lost a combined 68 pounds!

That's up from last week (44 pounds) and I'm proud, thrilled and so happy to tell you that with just one week remaining in this weight-loss journey, we've got just 36 more pounds to go to reach our 250-pound goal. One week and 36 pounds. Think we can do it? I do.

Check out the stats for this week:

22.2 percent of you lost 1 pound
25 percent of you lost 2 pounds
16.7 percent of you lost 3 pounds
2.8 percent of you lost 4 pounds
11.1 percent of you lost 5 pounds
22.2 percent of you didn't lose any weight.

One challenge and one weigh-in remain. Come back on Monday at 8 AM for the final challenge -- we'll be arming you with a few tips from Bob Greene for taking off the weight -- and keeping it off. In the meantime, take a little time to review our previous challenges.

Challenge #1 -- 3 diet tricks that really work.
Challenge #2 -- 8 tips for tightening your tummy.
Challenge #3 -- 5 techniques for reaching Finally Thin status.
