I'm going to make my Labor Day Challenge "REVISED" goal of a size 14!! I lost 2.75 inches this week. I tried on the small size 14 jeans and they fit. I can wear them in public!!! YAY. I'm making progress ladies. I'm not sure the running two miles was more effective as the walk run intervals though. So I will see how it goes during the next challenge. I will alternate the 2 mile interval and run and hopefully it won't be long before I see that 12.
I am thrilled with my weight loss for this challenge. I am also thrilled with my jogging. I went out for a jog this afternoon and I just kept going and going I ended up jogging for 1 HOUR!!! I never ever thought I would be able to do that.
My calories were 1400 today, I'm proud of that cause of yesterday's calories. It was hard though, I wanted to over eat again, I really don't want to gain more weight, it's gonna be bad enough. My control took over and saved me, I'll have a little something I'm craving tomorrow, maybe. I have to allow myself to eat what I want to a certain extent or I will just go crazy and have way more calories than I should. Cutting back after a bad eating day is always hard for me. I'm not making it to 105 by Labor Day, that's for sure!
Good evening everyone! Hope you all having a good weekend. Weigh today and it was 260.8 and cal total was 1193. Blood presure is doing good too. Just wanted to ck in before I call it a night. Have a good one post tomorrow night. gn
Well one more day before the challenge is over. Even though I worked hard I feel like this upcoming challenge will require a lot more from me. I was hoping to be in a 10 by October 10 but I can't see that happening. I have a new perspective and it is probably better for me. I will not be disappointed because I don't make that 10/10/10 goal of a size 10 because I am going in the right direction. I will rejoice in my victories because I am much farther along than I would have been had I not started in January. I will work hard to get there by this upcoming January. I'm not a big holiday eater and I'm not concerned about the holidays. It's the day to day that I must be mindful of and will work to continue to reprogram myself so my body lines up with my goal. I will just focus on my daily journey. If I do my daily thing I will get to my end result. I will be going to Goodwill or some other thrift store to purchase a size 10 and FOCUS like I have done with all the other sizes. I have pictures of what I should look like at my goal. Today and tomorrow I will be mentally preparing for the the next challenge.
Hi All! I am glad that this challenge is ending tomorow, it will help me stay on plan tonight at a neighborhood gathering. I am getting so close to the next decade, that I do not want to do anything to delay my progress into the 170's. I went for a long jog yesterday afternoon thinking that I would not be working out today, but I was wide awake at 4:50 so I got up, put my shoes on and went for a jog. I am working on tackling hills, they really burn. Fruitlady You are doing great, it is hard to be perfect all the time, so just do the best that you can do and keep moving foward. Bigmamatexas You are really doing well. Jiggle You have a great attitude, and look how far you have come since Jan., certainly something to be proud of yourself for. love2b150 You are in the 160's!!!

Bigmamatexas, have a safe trip. Good job on being a hair down See you tomorrow night
Well, my labor day challenge was to be in a size ten and to stay on plan! My 12's are loose on me so thats good! I never bought a size ten pair of jeans yet so that is on the agenda soon. But, for the most part i stayed on plan, did have about 3 days of falling off the wagon or so to speak but im proud of myself. This challenge was a success. I want to be in my dream size 8 by the end of the year and i believe i will make it
Not a huge amount weight lost in the challenge but but who cares if my body composition is changing Weights are doing there magic!
Wanted to say and to all the successful chicks out there! Im looking forward to seeing everyone in the next challenge!
Hi Envelope, That's the right outlook. I think as long as I pay attention with my unplanned meal (which here lately is all the time) I don't do bad, but I know had I planned my meals they would be better Enjoy your walk/jog. I would have liked to go for a walk this morning but my DH decided he needed to go to work for a few hours. So we'll have to wait until this evening
Amelia Congratulations to you also. I think you should go to the store and try on some jeans/slacks today. What a great feeling when you put on a pair of jeans and they are loose
As for me I am down to 168.8 this morning this is a NEW LOW for me. I am 1.2lb lowers than my Labor Day challenge weight ... I can't believe I did it. I am very happy. Ladies I want to thank ALL of you for your motivation and support.
CONGRADULATIONS TO EVERYONE!~LOVE U ALL & PROUD OF EVERYONE ~EVEN THOUGHS THAT DIDN'T MAKE THERE GOALS THAT TRIED ~U DID FABULOUS!~Off to start the new challenge may take me a few minutes too.~HUGS TO ALL Will come back & post a shortcut to it later on here.
AMELIA ~I Wish it didn't cost a zillion bucks to send a ton of clothes I got a bunch of 10's clear down to some 4's that Anyone would be welcome to have! At least 4 to 5 Large garbage bags full of nice nice nice clothes !~I wished we lived closer. BE back in a few everyone
