If you would like to join in the challenge please post the following info....

Starting weight: Your current weight

This month's mini goal:

Personal challenge: i.e. to start an exercise routine, quit smoking, keep a journal (anything you would like to do for yourself this month

A small non-food related reward that you will give yourself:

Good luck everyone!

I am approaching this differently. Instead of challenging myself to lose, I am challenging myself to think positively. I shredded the fat pictures of myself that I kept on my desk, threw away the fat pictures I keep on my fridge at home and on my bedroom mirror and instead put up pictures of me looking how I like to look. I am challenging myself to learn to eat healthy foods primarily but not to set myself up for failure by excluding a lot of things that I like.

I am challenging myself to love me enough to take the best care of me possible, to enjoy my workouts, my food, my life and my choices.

Oh yeah, my reward is a more positive more confident, more beautiful (inside out) me.

this morning I weighed in at 168 lbs which means I have lost 1.5lbs!

My challenge will be getting through the weekend and maitaining this loss - it is so hard!
I have planned ahead to stay on track though

[KnittinKitten]

I wieghed in today. I am apparently stuck on some kind of plateau. I'm going to step up my exercise to see if that helps.
