I had suspected yesterday that I was still retaining water and.. guess I was right. Another lb down, 4/10 for Labor Day.
Ughh, still battling with this cold though... It's gotten just better enough that I'm going to try to get back on to exercise today. Yesterday was a no-way-in-heck situation, I was light headed, had a fever, couldn't breathe out of my nose at all, the whole bit...
I hope you're all doing well.
I just started back on the weight loss journey, doing a mix of a few things, including counting my calories for the first few weeks. Counting always helps to get me in the right direction!
So here are my Labor Day Goals-
*Exercise 30 minutes/4 days a week
*No soda pop and fast food (only Subway if I have too!)
*Get down to my lowest weight of 147. I'm 155 right now!
Wish me luck!

Sgirl, you're killing me!
Layri, congrats on another pound! Good luck with the exercise. Working out usually helps clear up my breathing when I'm sick like that, so I hope it helps you!
Wow, we've got a lot of new members, so I'll resort to the group "Welcome" and say good luck to you all with your goals! Please keep posting so we can learn more about you, and keep up on your progress!
As for me, I finally got to change my ticker today...193.0, finally! So, 2 more pounds to go yet, to reach my mini goal of an "overweight" BMI!
Gotta run, chickies, since my sister is here for a visit. I'll check in later!
Welcome to all the new people! Love that there are more people to get to 'know' in this challenge. You can do - meet your goals!
Raindancer- glad to hear your pants are looser! Yippy skippy!
Sgirl- ah, fancy gym scales. They can be disappointing! You have a great attitude nevertheless, you're right - the fat WILL come off, it IS coming off. You use a personal trainer too? Do you love strength training? I'm totally addicted to it. Yay on your body image changing! What an accomplishment to not feel huge at the beach! Medium rocks!
Layri- Hope you'll feel better tomorrow. Flu bites a big one. And in the summer too, no fair.
Jammyjam, Another pound to overweight! Yay! When dog scootering season comes around again you should share some photos. That sounds like a ton of fun.
As for me, I'm treating myself tomorrow to some new experiences. I'm going horseback riding since there's no chance I'll break the poor thing's back and getting a massage for the first time. I've always wanted a massage, a real one - not one where I can sense my husband ready to be done after 3 minutes. I've always been too self-conscious but I am so ready for some massage bliss. My poor back and shoulders ache from strength training.
I try to reward myself with new things to do that don't include food. Since I so often in the past celebrated or entertained with food it's a great welcome change to look for alternatives. Much more fun too!
I'll hop on the 10 lb bandwagon (My first 10!).
Another goal I have for myself is to be able to do the week three of C25K by Labor Day, and at three weight lifting and/or stretching sessions per week.

DC, welcome and good luck with your goal!
Blue, welcome to 3FC! I did the C25K, also, when I started running. I think you'll enjoy it!
I've got skating tonight, so that will be my workout. I'm off in a bit to pick up our tickets for the new X-files movie, which opens this Friday. I'm going with my ds and 2 sisters, so it should be fun. I wanted to wear an aluminum foil helmet, to protect myself from alien mind-control rays, but my sisters said no. Some people have no sense of humor.
i new here and a challenge seems to be exactly what i need. my goal is to get to 199 by labor day. i currently weigh 213. i should be able to lose 14 lbs by then if i just stick to my calories and keep walking.
Yay! More new people! Listen up - you need to post a bunch and let us get to 'know' you! This will be a fun and busy challenge. vblizard- we share the same exact goal!
The horse riding was fun. I don't know if I'd do it again, but I'm so glad I did it. I got the willies and thought I'd die when the horse was slipping all over a muddy river bank edge. The horse also kept stopping to chow down on trees and bit my foot when I nudged it. It didn't help that we weren't really instructed first on how to handle a horse. I remembered enough from television to handle myself okay.
I've been trying to think of an interesting experience for my son, like violin lessons, swim lessons, ect and found the brilliant plan today! My son is going to take riding lessons (not on muddy river bank cliffs) which I think he'll love up.
HAHA at Jammy! Reynolds Wrap your head anyhow. I freaking love it. You're insane.
Another lb down, 4/10 for Labor Day. 
Sgirl, you're killing me!
and say good luck to you all with your goals! Please keep posting so we can learn more about you, and keep up on your progress! 
(My first 10!).
