Signed in and signed up!

My SW today is 270 and I'd like to lose (at least) 10lbs to get me down to 260.

Good luck everyone - we can do it!

[Daimere]

I'm joining. I'm 244 and I plan to be under 238. I'm not actively planning to slash calories. But trying my hand at IF and see if that works for me. As long as I stay below 244, I will be fine.

9-3: 242.8
9-10: 236.8
9-17: 234.8
9-24: 231.9

Hi everyone! I'm Sommer (but will respond to Finding or Fawn as well ), I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom to 4 kids and wife to an amazing man. I just came back to the boards, I have been around here now for quite a while, I pop in for a few months then fade off into the sunset as the weight I lost plus much come along. I didn't realize just how bad I was at this until the other day I decided to go looking at old posts and realized that just a few months after my youngest was born I was down 30 pounds from my 6 week check up weight of 251. My highest ever known was 284.6, which was last fall. I worked hard from the beginning of Oct into December and got down into the 250s... I restarted on the 21st of Aug at 276.0.

Today I saw 269.8 on the scale.. May I never see the 270s again!

A little more about me and this challenge in particular.... October is a big month for me. The 10th is mine and hubby's 10th anniversary, the 24th is my 37th birthday, and Halloween is my favorite holiday... not for the candy, but for the fun

[Amy Remixed]

Hi Everyone! I'm Amy. 42, currently 237 pounds.

Halloween is BIG BIG BIG amongst my group of friends. It's a full day event. I usually tucker out around midnight but the dancing goes on into the wee hours. I want to boost my energy and party ALL NIGHT.

I work out Monday through Friday at Curves. I do the circuit 3x with stretching at the end. I walk a lot on Saturdays spending the day with family. I track all my food, liquids and vitamin supplements. I've been aiming for a one pound loss per week. But I've been feeling liking bumping it up a little. So for this challenge I am going for 1.25 pounds per week. I'm pretty competitive so I think this will give me an extra boost in my step.

Hi - I'm Pearl and I've been a bit of a lurker over the years. I've lost & regained 30 - 40 pounds several times. This time I figured I would try to add some accountability with plans to not make the same mistake for the 3rd or 4th time. I would love to join you. I lost 11 lbs in the month of August and I hope to lose at least 22 lbs by Halloween.

[Only Believe]

Hello everyone.
I'm 251.2 and aiming for 235 at the end of this challenge so that 16.2 to lose. I think I can do it. If I fall short at least I will be less than I am now LOL.. I'm wishing us all the best!!

[sando5]

Hello everyone I'm Sandy. I'm 45, married, mother of 3 and my job is with food (I'm a glorified lunch lady). I have been carb cycling for a month and a half and I'm loving it.

Next month my hubby and I celebrate our 25th anniversary on October 22nd. Wow how time flies!

Fall is my favorite time of year and this is the first challenge I've joined here at 3FC. I was happy I found this challenge it sounded great to me so I had to jump right in. I'm hoping to get to know many of you by doing this.

Thanks for joining us Marii, Annoyed, sweetmalibu and ninae! We're happy to have you.

Emmy - I've been slacking a lot on exercise too! I hurt my ankle a little over a month ago and definitely used that as an excuse to be lazy... while I probably needed to be lazy for a day to two to avoid further injury, a month was not necessary downtime lol.

Brienne - Blegh when my hormones kick in I swear I feel like a human trash can with the kind of food/amount I wanna eat haha. Sounds like a reasonable goal, good luck!

Daimere - I've heard a lot of great things about IF. If you can stick to it (I haven't been able to yet), I'm pretty sure you'll lose a lot more than that!

Sommer - Wow, homeschooling four kids must be a tough job! It's admirable that you can still find the time to work on yourself. Also sounds like an exciting month.. all the more reason to work your butt off (literally) in September!

Amy - Yes! I hate being the one who gets tired and has to leave or spends the whole time sitting down chatting in a corner or something, I wanna paaaarty haha. I gotta take your lead with the exercising, the most I've done lately is leisurely walking my dog. No more excuses!

Pearl - I was a major lurker too. When I found the site again after a long absence, I ended up just making a new account because I couldn't remember my old pw and wanted a fresh start anyway. 11lbs is great for one month! Even if you haven't had the best track record lately, give yourself a little props for that for sure.

Believe - That's exactly how I'm gonna look at it. Even if I don't hit my 234 goal, at least I'll still be under 250. Perfect attitude!

Sandy - I can never give enough pats on the back for the busy moms who manage to find time for themselves still, what a struggle! Fall is my favorite season too (even if Christmas is the best holiday!), and I'm hoping the nice crisp weather gets me exercising!

Someone posted a thread about Christmas shopping and it got me thinking about how much I'd love to give myself the gift of onederland, but I said it as a silly no-way-could-that-ever-happen kind of side comment... but then I realized that if I consistently lost a bit over 3lbs a week, I could wake up Christmas morning in ONDERLAND... I know it's not a very realistic goal, but having spent so many years in the upper 200's, it's insane to think that it's not THAT unattainable, you know? It's no longer 107 pounds away, it's 51, and I can hardly wrap my head around that!

Happy Labor Day! Friendly reminder to keep your goals in mind if you're going to be at family picnics today

[Coops625]

Hello all! Count me in for this challenge. I have NEVER posted on the Internet and am somewhat leery of it but ....
My name is Amy. I am a 40 y.o. Wife and mother of a 9 year old boy. I am employed as a RN on the night shift in the ED.
I started WW on 11/12/2012 and have lost 76 pounds so far. I am really scared that I will stop this journey as I am at the same weight as when I lost weight in 2006-07 and when I was married in 1997. The last time I remember weighing less was in 1994!
My goal is to lose 16 pounds as then I would actually weigh the same listed on my driver's license!

[findingfawn]

Welcome Amy! Congrats on taking the step out of your comfort zone and joining us here!

I realized the other day that in 09 just months after having my youngest son, I was down to 220... that means I have spent the past 4 years dieting my way up to where I am.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Labor Day!!! We are staying home, gonna make a fire in the fire ring in the back yard and just enjoy our little family being together. Somewhere along the day I guess we will have to eat, I got some chicken halves on a killer sale and threw them in the freezer some time back so I guess that will be what we have today.... I will not eat a whole half. Not sure beyond that for our meal, I didn't really think ahead.

[Bridget37]

I'm in I'm in! Thanks Lana for the cool spreadsheet!

[lanabug]

Welcome aboard, Amy! Chatting on the internet has been vital to my success so far, so hopefully you will love it too. 76lbs is amazing! Don't worry, we'll help you cross that bridge when you get there. I was stuck losing to about 270ish and then gaining it back for a long time, I never thought I'd see 250 again! It's funny, 250 has been the weight on my ID for as long as I can remember, and when I actually hit it I couldn't believe it. Great goal. There is hope for us yet!

Sommer, ugh isn't that the worst feeling? I ditched the scale for like two years and thought I was doing ok with my diets, when I finally weighed in though I had gained majorly. I hate the diet industry because they do this to so many people! Sounds like a nice day, enjoy it!

Bridget, woo hoo, happy to have you! Thank you & you're welcome, haha.
