I always work better with a buddy. So if anyone is interested please join in.
I am calorie counting and trying to exercise more often. I am down 8 lbs so far and need to lose another 50. I am 29and have a 4year old special needs daughter.

I'm already involved in a whole bunch of threads for this month, BUT I wanted to suggest to you (if you don't get a lot of people joining this thread) look into joining the November chat thread! The people there are very supportive and you really do get daily support.

Good Luck!

i am up for the challenge. i am calorie counting and trying to lose 6-8 lbs this month. so definitely, i am in

[sun]

2cheezygurl great job on losing so much already! only a bit left for you!

I am doing good today so far. had a lunch out with a friend but stuck to a big salad and a slice of pizza. so as long as I have a light dinner I should be ok.
how is everyone doing today?

Ok I'm going to join in! It's been ages since I've been properly involved in here and seeing a post from a friendly and familiar name (I'm looking at you, sun!) is just the spur I need.

I'd like to lose 3kg (6.6pounds) this month. I could be dreaming, but I've had a pretty good run over the past few weeks with good on plan calorie eating and getting in lots of exercise.

I'm going to try to post at least once a day, in the evening here for me

We can do this!

[sun]

rainbow! So good to see you again!
I have been slacking and gained all the weight I lost back! MY daughter got really sick a year ago and it lasted on and off for a year. so I just slide back to emotional and comfort eating. But I am back and down 8 lbs. So its a start

went for a half hour walk and it felt good to work my body again. So I am looking forward to my walk tomorrow and trying for 45 minutes. slowly and surely I will get my body back and feel stronger again.
also my sis is getting married at the end of JAn . need to look decent by then.

sun It was nice to see your name pop up. Sorry to hear about your daughter and the weight gain - but you've lost it once and I'm sure you can do it again!

For the last couple of weeks I'd been running 3-4 times each week, but I stupidly fell down some stairs (my fault, I might have had a few too many drinks) and bruised my shin up quite badly, so I'm taking a bit of a break until Wednesday because it's pretty sore even walking!

Sunday night here, I've been mostly on calories all weekend (aside from Friday nights extra alcohol calories, it was a work thing and I needed a bit of a blowout). I've been grocery shopping today and bought a whole lot of healthy stuff - lots of lean meats and a ton of veges, so I'm hoping I'll see another loss this week!

[/B]rainbow[/B] thanks for the encouragement. How far do you run ? Sounds like a great start.

So Tuesday is my weigh in day. Have two days to make that 176 to show up.

Keep going ladies!

[rainbowstripe]

sun My route is just under 3km, so 1.86 miles. It's not a huge distance, and I'm still not quite at the point where I can run the whole way but I love that each time I go I run more, I am noticing myself getting fitter and it's awesome!

Good luck for your weigh in day! How often do you weigh?

[sun]

rainbow read your post in the other thread and just want to say good job of getting back on it before it got out of hand. nice on the running. I want to get into it more. I need to shape up. Feel weak and lame, hehe i used to be such an exercise junkie. I did walk for 2 miles today so that was awesome. keep going !

[rainbowstripe]

sun Two miles is better than I'll get today. I was feeling a little sick this morning and while I feel better now, I have a wax straight after work (ick) and by the time I get home I'll have a very hungry boyfriend. But calories will definitely be low so it's all good!
