inthemidst - I'm looking forward to a post later saying you turned things around and are back on plan today! You can do this!!

I'm down a pound today so that makes 5 down 5 to go in this challenge. Anyone have fun halloween plans to show off their skinny selves in costume? No plans here - no one I know is having a party this year and I'm too busy traveling to throw one myself.

Dancer....way to lose 2lbs and get some new jeans. I am getting close to that nsv...my two "good" pair of jeans are getting baggy.

inthmidst....way to get right back on plan, you can do it!

hydra....1/2 lbs are totally awesome! Have you tried the calorie cycling?

Annegirl...welcome, How's your week been?

ICU....You are still having such great steady progress....don't let that cold get you down. We are hoping for heat in our building by the end of the week! They usually wait until Nov 1st to turn it on, but it has been so chilly. brr.

Gardnerjoy.....Good job...keep your eye on the target!

I am finally down some more, another 1lb. Doing great with watching the food, but still struggling to get more than 2X a week on the exercise. The pilates does kick my butt though.

Have a super week everyone as we move into the weekend!

ICU - how's the cold?

Suki - woohoo on another pound! What's your biggest challenge with fitting in more exercise? Too busy a schedule? The 'I don't wanna' syndrome?

I lost a couple more pounds as of this morning! Just 2.5 pounds away from my Halloween goal. Thanks for all the support and encouragement. I think the addition of more water and herbal tea is helping me. I am also cooking more instead of buying frozen meals or prepared foods and it is much less calories when you have more control over what you are eating.

Keep of the great work everyone!

Hey, Newleaf, How are you doing?

Hydra you are amazing...you just keep losing pounds and adding new healthy habits!

Dancer.....I am definitely struggling with the "I'm too tired, I don't feel like it" syndrome. I am on my feet all day with teaching and think students with ADHD(hyperactivity, impulsivity). By the time I get home I have my own children to help with homework, then supper, clean up, and then I feel just beat. I am also not a morning person so that isn't a good time to add exercise. sigh. I am full of excuses.

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been out of play lately - the cold might have been a minor flu bug in disguise. I'm about 80% right now. Let's just say Mon and Tues while I was home I made some poor choices, and paid for it. Wed morning I was at 154. Came back to work, got clean with the food, and was back at ticker this morning. And I've got a new goal - I will be modifying my signature this weekend. I'm optimistic that I've got the chops to make the Halloween goal of busting 150.

Anne - 10 pounds in a month is really aggressive - way out of my league - but it's definitely doable!

inthemidst - hang in there. As Robin says, commitment is what gets you through when motivation fades.

gardener - I've found that once you push through a setpoint, there's a period where weight does come off "more easily". Enjoy the ride!

dancer - I'm about due for a round of shopping, and it's the first time in a LONG time that I'm actually looking forward to it. 2 pounds in a week - awesome! No costume plans. DS10 wants to go out this year as "roadkill" - so I'm trying to figure that one out. ????

sukie - if I see one more lousy, crappy gray day ... thank goodness for that trip to NC. It was sunny and 80 there! I gave up and turned on the furnace on Monday. Dang.

echo - welcome on board! I see you're just about ready to cross the line back to "normality" - congrats!

hydra - you're definitely making all the right changes. Cooking's kinda fun, isn't it? Looks to me like you might be the first one to the Halloween target! Woohoo!

Hydra - you are smoking along - woohoo!

Suki - your life just may be a workout in itself - you sound super busy!

icu - bummer about the cold/flu - that just knocks you flat sometimes. Totally agree on the setpoints. Curious to see what you come up with for roadkill - too funny.

Thanks sukierd, ICU and dancerindenver. I know that one of the big reasons that I have been successful is the great support and encouragement that I get here at 3FC. I am so glad I found this place. I knew I would need support to lose weight and I wanted to be around others that were in the same mindset. I just love to look through the success stories and mini-goals when I am feeling like I need to refocus.

sukierd - I have tried the calorie cycling and that is working out well. Yesterday and today I had a lower day in anticipation of tomorrow which will be a higher day. At work, we have a staff meeting and there will be salty snacks and dips, fresh fruit (I am the dept asst mgr and demanded we have something healthy offered, score one for me) and an assortment of Halloween candy. I plan to stick to the fruit, pass on the chips and fritos and allow myself a few pieces of chocolate tomorrow.

Hi, ladies. Sorry that I haven't been around (thanks for noticing, Sukierd -- and anyone else... I only read this page 9 before posting). I just have been sick and tired of paying so much attention to my weight, so I stopped for awhile.

In light of not paying attention, of course my weight has blipped back up so I've reset my ticker. But to force a little accountability on myself, I tracked every single calorie today. I'm at 1332, which is right where I want to be. Maybe a little snack later if I feel like it, but otherwise I'm done for the day. I don't like to count too frequently, but it's a great tool to have in the tool bag.

Onwards and downwards. I'm really impressed by how well everyone is doing!

Morning, girls!

Am still riding a high from running 5.6 miles yesterday which is definitely the longest run I've gone on in 20 yrs.

Newleaf - nice to see you around! I'm sure you'll be back down in no time and from what I read, it seems fairly typical to take maintenance breaks when you get down to the last few pounds.

inthemidst - bummer about the cold - hope you're turning the corner!

hydra - you are going to be blowing the doors off of your halloween goal - wtg!

We're heading out to San Francisco for a long weekend so I won't be around until probably Tuesday night. Hope everyone does well over the weekend...
