Yes!

Hello fellow Campers and welcome to our final day of Boot Camp!

Time to step on the scale, whisk out the measuring tape or slip into your skinny jeans and evaluate your progress. Did you lose a few pounds? Are you down a few inches? Do your clothes feel a bit looser? Are you feeling more energetic?

Are you proud of yourself?

You should be! Six weeks is a long time to embrace a healthy lifestyle — it's long enough for habits to form and hopefully some of your healthy Boot Camp habits will become life-long routines.

Tell us about your progress, what you've achieved, and what you liked best about Boot Camp!

And don't forget to sign up for Canadian Living's Bikini Boot Camp, which launches May 4. In the meantime, the weekly Health & Wellness Club e-newsletter (which will automatically replace your daily Boot Camp e-newsletter) will bring you weekly updates on how to maintain your weight loss and healthy living habits, and the Health & Wellness Club blog will continue to help you connect with your fellow readers and bring you great contests.

Now it's time to give yourself a pat on the back and put your feet up. YOU DID IT.

Like many of you, I'm excited with the progress I've made so far with the Boot Camp program.

I worked out for an hour on both Monday and Tuesday and I ate less than my goal of 1500 calories.

I only smile like this when my plate is full of poutine.

I feel great!

But it's a familiar feeling. How many times have you started out strong with your New Year's resolutions or with a new weight loss program, only to be derailed and discouraged a few days in?

What strategies are you going to use this time to keep you on track? What are you going to say to yourself to keep you going when you're tempted to skip a workout or to pig out?
