September Goal: 215 pounds (HEY!! Don't give me that look, I agreed to it before i stepped on the scale and found I'd lost another 5 pounds!!!)
Long term goal: 130-140 (Or a weight I can stick to for the rest of my life!!!)

I want to feel healthier, and to be able to ENJOY hiking and camping again!!!

Jessica-I've always wanted to get into crowd control, so when you reach your long term goal call me. You supply the cattle prod, I'll take care of business!!!

Soozie-THANKS SWEETIE!!!

Ok here are mine -
Height: Damn short. 5'1"
Highest Weight - Not sure. I was afraid of scales, but I was a size 16.
Current Weight: 170.5 ( a very tight size 12)
September Goal Weight: 159.5
Long Term Goal: To be happy (since Jessica already stole my goal ) Probably between 150-140. Whatever a size 10 would be.

Personal Goals: Get a lot of exercise in now, since once it gets cold again, it won't be happeneing. Become more flexible.

Hey girls... I'm in!

Height: 5'3"
Highest Weight - 196 (except for when I was pregnant... ummm, that would be about 230?)
Current Weight: 179
September Goal Weight: 169
Long Term Goal: To be as thin as Katherine Hepburn. To get back to the gym regularly (haven't been for about 3 weeks). To weigh about 130. But 140 looks really good right now.

Want to be able to run again. Without pain and jiggling.

Count me in:

Height: 5'8"
Highest Weight: 355
Current Weight: 295
September Goal Weight: 280
Long Term Goal: I'm aiming for 190 initially, but am pondering 160 as my final weight. I'm also aiming for the "athelete" mode on my BMI scale, that means a min of 6 hours of exercise a week for 6 months. I think it's doable.


psm

ELLIS!! YOU are average height!!! Everyone else here is SHORT or TALL!!!!

Holy crap Ellis... you are doing so well! Are you still doing that south beach diet? Could you post the link again? I need some new inspiration and ideas.

Chris, I had no idea you were so tall!
I'm merely average, according to Den. heh heh.

Thank you, Sojo! Yes, this is a great diet. Ruth and Den are doing really well, too!

Okay, the prevention link is ummm...
http://www.prevention.com/cda/featur...0,5345,00.html

Prevention has a South Beach forum as well. And there's one here at 3fatchicks that is getting bigger by the day.
It's around here somewhere:

Thanks Ellis,
I'll check that out too.
and girls...
thanks for joining in with the challenge!
Everyone have a great on program day.
Love, Soozie
ps..last night I really wanted to EAT!
I really, really felt like snacking but I knew that I had eaten
enough that day and that I didn't need anymore nutritionally...
It was sooooo hard, but I did it!
I had a cup of decaf coffee with a bit of skim milk in it and sipped and savored that
instead of eating cookies...happy dance!!
Yay!!!

Soozie... good for you!!!
Coffee... it makes up for a lot.

Ellis-There, there, dearie, you're tall to ME.:P

Soozie-GOOD GOING!!! THANKS for starting this challenge. Seems like we are getting some real enthusiasm going here!!

Chris-YUP! Gotta get the DH on board or it is pretty difficult. Mine wanted to bring home a cheesecake the other day, and I asked him to get something that wouldn't tempt me so much. (He bought pastries, which he loves and I have no problem with. He is skinny, so I don't really want to tell him he can't have any of his "stuff." HE loses weight when I go on a diet, it is REALLY frustrating!!!)

Miss Chris! When did you hit onederland! Congrats!

If I want something its hard to resist.

They must breed us mid-western girls big, because 5'8" is pretty average. I always wish I was taller. Hence why I love high heels, but have pretty much given them up since I started walking everywhere, there just aren't enough blister pads in the world

Bless your husband Den for being supportive. My hubby was a reall *** during our pow wow, next time maybe I will skip the talk and dump his ice cream straight down the drain

The sad thing Jessica is that I had gotten down to 185 lbs, and managed in about 6 weeks to gain 15 lbs back. I suck

Here I go though and get out of my weigh
