Another weigh-in Monday and I'm down 2 more to 191 :) Only 11 pounds to go for my Christmas challenge goal! Man I want to be in the 180's! Haha!

How was everyone's Halloween? We don't get trick or treaters in my apt building, so we didn't get to participate. :(

Andly great job on the weight loss!! Good for you! Your so close to the 180's it won't be long now!

Shanhat, sorry to hear that! We had a great Halloween. We have the opposite problem. We have so many trick or treaters we had to go and get more candy. We had a good time taking my Son trick or treating. I did eat some candy an birthday cake I made me Dad. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Cloudysky, Your mom is right. I feel the same way! Sorry to hear about your loss of motivation. You are doing great! Keep pushing forward. I know how hard it is when family members are not following your new lifestyle. Stay strong, and just ask yourself "what do you want more" "is it worth it". Keep healthy snacks and water close by, and fill up on those.

Sassyangies, you are doing great! I love your attitude. You are strong and know what you want. Keep pushing forward! Avoiding the unhealthy food WILL pay off, it will make you happier too! :) Compliments help in a HUGE way. Gives you a boost! Everyone needs to hear them, and should look forward to it. Get use to it, you will be hearing it a lot! :)

Khumphreys, Awesome job! You will make your goals. We have the same ones. I want to be 190/189 for Thanksgiving and 180/179 for Christmas. :)

AndLy, Awesome job! Congrats! I can't wait to see the 180's too! :)

Shanhat81, sorry to hear that. My Halloween was good. Not many trick or treaters though. I was shocked! I bought 8 big bags of candy too.

As for me, I weighed in at 194! I made my 50 lb goal! Feels amazing! Just looked back at my Christmas goal:

I have 14 lbs to go! I am so excited! :)

How is everyone else doing?

TransformingMyself: Congrats on making your 50 lb goal!!! That is awesome :) We have the same goal weight for the Christmas challenge too!

sassyangies: I ran out of candy too and had to shut my lights off just about 8:15pm! It seems like I buy more Halloween candy every year and I still run out!

Transforming: Great job on the loss!! You are doing great!

Today is a great day. Feels good here. I have to start taking down the Halloween stuff and I really want to just chill outside with my coffee and enjoy the weather. This really is the first day it feels like Fall to me. Yesterday it was 91 degrees and I just kept thinking when will this be over.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

I'm glad so many of you had so many trick or treaters!!! I am happy b/c my cousin sent pics of her twins (dressed as pumpkins), and my friends sent pics of their costumed kids too.

I love Halloween!

AndLy, Thank you so much! :) That is awesome, we will make it! It would be nice to see 179! LOL I am happy either way, though. ;)

Sassyangies, Thank you! :) Happy to hear you are having a great day! Fall is my favorite time of year. So beautiful!

Shanhat81, that is so nice. I received a bunch of pictures too. It was nice seeing the kids dressed up. Halloween is my favorite holiday. :)

As for me, I am doing good. Changed up my workout today. Starting to add yoga, and longer cardio/weight training days. About 1.5 hours a day total. My body is sore today! LOL

Transforming.. great job on the workouts. That's awesome!

Today is my weigh in day and I'm down 5 pounds.. yay!! My christmas goal was to loose 20 and I'm down half that allready. I'm so happy about that and I'm almost to the 2's. So I'm happy about that too..
Today is also laundry day so I'll be around checking in on everyone! Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Sassyangies, Thank you! :) Congrats, that is awesome! You are doing GREAT! You will definitely make your Christmas goal.

As for me, everything is going well. Worked out for 1.5 hours this morning, cardio day. I am shocked I wasn't tired afterwards, I felt great, had more energy. I am loving it! :)

I wish I had more time in my day to devote to working out. I never seem to have enough time for regular daily activites either. Which is why I always spend my weekends catching up on housework, laundry, grocery shopping. Sometimes I wish I had about 4 more hours a day off work to get things done!

AndLy, I wish for more hours in the day too! I workout first thing in the morning, I plan ahead, how much earlier I need to get up to fit it in, some days are super early. On those days, I make sure I go to bed an hour early the night before. It isn't easy! LOL I am the same way, playing catchup with laundry, housework and grocery shopping/planning/prepping on the weekends. Good thing for the weekends! ;)

As for me, I am doing ok. Dealing with an allergy cold the past few days. Not a good time for that, especially starting a new workout routine, my body is so sore! Today is yoga day! Can't wait to see how that goes. Hope everyone has a GREAT day/weekend. :)

Last night at work was awesome. I brought enough fruits and veggies to make them last all night and I only had a yogurt before bed. I'm loving this so much! I'm a little bummed that today is my 21st day and I still can't put a siggy up, but owell, what ya going to do right? :)

Well, as you guys know I'm a daily weigher, but I only count 1 weigh in on Thursday, but I have big news!!! I am officially in the 2's... I lost 2 more pounds and weighed in at 298 today! So just wanted to share that. I think I'm going to go over my christmas challenge.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

GO Sassyangies!!! That's amazeballs! And you don't live very far away from my parents.

My FIL is here, so DH, FIL and I are going on a hike. And out for breakfast, but that's OK -- I can get an egg-white omelet and fruit. :)

new here
 

This is my first post ,,, so not sure if i'm in the right area or not. I started ideal protein the end of August and have lost around 20 lbs and alot of inches! yeahhhh but i cannot afford to continue to go to the clinic because it's so expensive and here at the holidays i need that extra money. Does anyone know if i can order the product online? or have any suggestions as to what to do until i get back on tract after the 1st of year???
