  • Hi Turtles,
    Here's where we can track our weight loss over the next 6 weeks until Halloween. I think that's a nice short amount of time to set a short term goal and stick to it.
    Here's my goals:
    1. Lose 1 pound/week
    2. Exercise in some form 3x weekly.
    I'm keeping mine short and simple to prove to myself that I can do this.
    Best of luck to all of us. My starting weight is 194#
    Let's WI on Sat. morning. Sound good?
    Judy
  • Hi Judy - sounds good to me.

    Also keeping it simple & will join you 1#/week and get in some form of
    exercise 3 times weekly.

    Starting point = 184
  • Goals:

    1. Like to be in the 160's
    2. Drink 1 bottle of water a day
    3. still recovering from gallbladder surgery so Exercise 1 x a week

    starting weight = 173.0
  • So, I guess this challenge starts today (Week #1)

    Starting = 184
  • Hi there!
    My starting weight is 194# I would love to be 187# by Halloween. I need to shake up this weight. Good luck to us all!
    Judy
  • Week One: Stayed the same. Lots of stress this week, so I'm okay with this. Next I have to work on getting through the stress by doing the things I know will release weight.
    Goal: lose one pound this week
    exercise 3X this week (my hip is feeling much better and I got on
    today. Yay.
    Judy
  • Hi ladies - stayed the same 184#
  • Hi everyone - once again, scale is the same @ 184#
  • Hi Gals,
    Me too. I stayed the same. 193#. I maintain really well. Now it's time to lose the next pound. I can do it!
    Judy
  • A week later. I weighed in a day late this week and am glad I did since I lost one pound. Yay. this puts me on track. Good luck to us all.
    Weight: 192#
    Judy
  • Hi turtles - not a good weigh in this week.
    I guess all my "turtling" (staying the same) caught up with me & I
    was up 2# this week at the scale. I knew I would be up abit (knee injury
    and have been laying around this week & of course, snacking more) but
    didn't expect that.
    So have my work cut out for me this week.
    Good luck everyone!
  • Bandit, sorry about the gain, but we all do that from time to time.

    I was beating myself up because I am up.5# today. Then I had to remind myself that although I'm not doing blockbusters with this challenge, I am down 6# from early Sept. where I was in danger of crossing out of onederland and heading over 200# again. I weighed 198# and couldn't figure out why. Now I'm doing better-----we had loads of social engagements this past week including a wedding. I have been very hungry today, but I am counting my points plus and doing my best.

    Good luck to us all!

  • Weight was 166# on Saturday. Now due to my cycle the next 3 weeks or 2 1/2 it will be up about 3 pounds. Everyone is doing great. Keep up the good work.
  • Cherry!!!!! You are doing amazingly well. :

    I had a good week. Some times I was hungry, but I had a piece of fruit.
    Not a perfect week, but I am at 192#!!! I'll take that and run. Since the beginning of this challenge I am down 2# and since Sept. I have stopped the crazy gaining I was doing, turned it around and I'm down 6# from there.

    Let's keep on going! If you like, our last WI for this challenge can be Nov.3.
