I'd like to join in the Samhain challenge too; hopefully it'll give me some incentive to get past my current plateau.

Samhain is almost 9 weeks away so hopefully I can lose 11 lbs and get down to 190.

Need to get exercising more!

Harvest Tide is only 3, and a bit, weeks away, so I'll have to be careful not to eat too much then (or just be sensible and eat the corn without oil!).

-neesk :D

I feel like a slacker. I haven't lost a pound, because I haven't been working out or paying attention to my diet.

I feel like I'm not going to make it, but I' ahead of scheduel so far... Anyone know what they are going to be for Halloween yet? I have no idea.

so I just got back from outta town and I'm on the up. not too bad. 149.7, but I changed my goal to something a tad bit more reasonable? maybe? i suppose.

hi neesk:wave:

robot - don't feel bad. we're in the same boat and I feel pretty good about it. i think slackin every now and then is good for the soul.

skullarix - i have no idea what i am going to be. probably something literary like usual; i was jack kerouac last year.

ooooo rock on to this one!
Ok i pledge to have lost 14-15lbs by then.
Now ive said it i have to do it!
My mission is Sexy cat woman outfit-the non chafing kind.lol
Good luck ladies

howdy guapas...just got back from my vacay in berlin...and because i still do not own a scale stopped by my pharmacy and i weighed in at 80 kilos--176 lbs. *sigh* it's not like i couldn't tell-frequenting the fat fat pants and all.
well! onwards and upwards and beyondwards!!!!...starting....tomorrow??

I'm in my fat fat pants too, but thats due to incision area pain and super serious bloat. Can't wait till recovery is over.

I had a dream the other night, probably vicodan induced, but I dreamed that it was halloween and I was wearing knee high platform skull boots which has never happened on my fat calves, stripped black and white tights and some kind of hot pink, red and black fairy from **** costume complete with a hot pink wig that was huge. Oh, and my boots had rollers on them like heelys and I was wizzing about at a bar in my dream. It was a cool dream. I wish I had boots like that for real. And big hot pink hair would rock too.

So, I bought goal pants. They are billabong size 11. Right now, when I'm not bloated and cut to peices, I'm in a getting loose 14. I can practically taste the victory even though I can't even get those goal pants over my huge *** let alone up by fat legs (unless I only have one leg in them...).

Robot-- I'm so in the same position. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've gained 3 lbs. back. Camping and weddings galore this past month, and me with no self-control lately....bad, bad times.

As for what to be for Halloween...I think I'm going to bust my "Homeless Zombie" costume back out this year. I got that brilliant idea a couple years ago, but for some reason never got any pictures, and never really went anywhere to show it off. Only thing is, I've since thrown out the jeans I used 'cause they had too many holes in them, so we'll have to replace those somehow. The best part is the sign anyway: a piece of cardboard with "will work for ('food' is crossed out) BRAINS" written on it :dracula:

"wearing knee high platform skull boots" I want some of those too!

I weighed myself and gained 3 pounds. I need to get motivated.

My friends are trying to plan a goth themed Halloween party. None of my awesome clothes fit. I'm tempted to just buy new clothes, but I don't feel like spending my paycheck that barely pays the bills. Also, I don't want to buy any more "fat" clothes when I'm trying to lose weight.

Since our official weight in day is tomorrow, I'm going to post today that I'm 179lbs and hope its still the same story tomorrow. And, I've done it three days in a row so I guess I get to change that ticker! Freaking awesome!

Well... I'm the same, but it's been a rough week for me, I've had some off Plan eating etc... However I have to report a NSV, Some pretty platform heels I have, that have a strap that wraps around then ankle... Last time I tried to wear them I couldn't even get the straps around my ankle... I COULD TODAY!!! So I wore them to work for "Funky Footwear Friday".

I know I'm lame, but it makes me happy...

You're not lame, you're awesome. Congrats on your NSV!

um, stoopid question here. what does NSV mean?

I managed to maintain my 179 over the weekend and that was having consumed an entire bottle of pinot noir to myself on friday night and nearly all of a bottle of pinot griggio on sunday afternoon. It just felt like a drinking kind of weekend and I hate doing the dishes without a nice cold glass of pinot gris...had to settle for pinot griggio though cause they were out of my label at the likkah stow. oh, and I made spaghetti on saturday night with whole wheat pasta and it was brilliant.

NSV = Non-Scale Victory
