priss- Sent you a message, I know what your going through. Don't hesitate to message me if you have any other questions. I'm just happy to help.

Had 1600 cal. today. We went to the farmer's market in Kutztown again, everytime I go there, it makes me want to eat. I always buy candy, i stayed away from chocolate this time and got gummy & jelly candy instead( no fat). That's why my calories are higher, but still within my range. Just a little of everything was enough, it didn't lead me to over eat like usual. Not ready to feel sick again I quess. I did have a 3 lb. woosh finally! Good luck to us all!

Still dropping a little, it's nice. 75.5kg/166.4pounds this morning. I went out last night and got some nice compliments from friends I hadn't seen since about a week after I started my new lifestyle. It's funny how people avoid talking about weight, but they'll still say nice things. They are close friends so I asked them if they were saying I was looking really good just in general or whether they'd noticed I'd lost weight - I wanted to know! They said that they could tell I'd lost weight but it was also the fact that I seemed a lot healthier and had a "glow" of some sort. It was nice to have it noticed anyway.

I'm sticking with eating the right amounts of calories although some of my choices have been pretty dubious - had a few alcoholic drinks last night and wanted a snack when I came home so had a couple of oven-baked vegetarian samosas. They're too tasty. They fit in calories, but I don't think they're offering me much in terms of nutritional benefits.

I'm also getting lax on the exercise, especially this weekend. My energy is fairly low which I'm sure is a result of this annoying depression that seems to be creeping back into my life. I hate it. I hate feeling low and unhappy when I have nothing real to be unhappy about. Urgh.

Sorry for the whine, hope you ladies are having good weekends! Thanks for all the support and encouragement on my loss so far...you always wonder if you're "doing it right" when really it doesn't matter as long as you're doing it!

Love to u all

Another new low 142.4 Now it's nearing "TOM" so that new low will proboly rise back up ~which is ok~as long as I got a bikini body but next swim season! Thats what I wanna have~i wanna look like I exercise daily as I do & Get a fit tone body from my efforts It is working~slowly but surely!

As always ignore all errors..Off to Get a spider & set him free outdoors I hate to kill them!

Just a quickie as I have a bunch of stuff to get done today...but just wanted to let you guys know I MADE MY GOAL! Someone cue up Bon Jovi "Woah-oh, we're halfway there..." LOL!

I was going to wait until tomorrow to WI, but I didn't think I'd have time just because it's gonig to be Monday morning (I weigh on my wii Fit, which takes a little time...I don't own a regular scale right now because I know I'd get scale obsessed.) Anyway, I'm right in the middle of TOM, so I wasn't expecting much. But the darn thing said 205.5--on the button!

So I know I'm cheating a bit on my ticker as I usually round up, but I thought I'd give myself the "extra credit" today since tomorrow is the end of the challenge and I'm still on TOM...so I'm also guessing at least a 1/2 lb of water weight will come off when it's over. (I know there are tickers that have decimal points, but the ones on 3FC are just easier for me to get to, lol.)

I will try to come back later to do personals...have a great Sunday, ladies!

Congratulations NorthernExposure!! Awesome job!!


It's the 11th here, I'm 1.2 (ish) kilograms/about 2.6 pounds off my goal. No worries! I'll make it there next week probably! I wish I was as happy as the exclamation marks make my sentence look haha.

Well, lost 3 more ounces. Had 1220 cal. today, which was good. Can't wait for the next challenge!

Whoaaaa, She's Halfway there whooooaaaaa.... WTG NothernExposure...High fives to YOU!!!:carrot:

Fruitlady-YAY on the 3more ounces...you go girl!

Rainbow-Your doing so GREAT! Send me some of that will power:dizzy:

Lori-Very cute new pic of you on FB! LOL at the shopping comments. Makes me want to go shopping:p I've still got to get me some workout shoes...i wish i could find some of those cheap:o

Hello to everyone i missed. Today was just a 2mile walk but it was nice and relaxing. Have a great night/morning:) Back on track for me tomorrow:)

ETA today- :congrat: to everyone who made their goal this challenge! :bravo: Maybe i can join your celebrations on the next challenge, speaking of...Lori, what is our next challenge? Any thoughts guys?

I have been away so long. It is interesting to see who is still sticking with it. Lori and MissPriss, both of you have accomplished amazing things!

I have just been maintaining and am probably not up for a challenge but just wanted to say how good it is to see what's been going on.

Congrats to everyone who met their goals!!! Woohoo!

I am 1.3 lbs from my goal (since I would have considered 199.9 goal), but I am not too bummed. I've been losing steadily at a rate of .5-1 lb a week with eating a max of 2000 calories per day. I should easily make my goal by Halloween. I've also lost an inch of my hips and half inch off my waist since the beginning of this challenge. So overally I am happy with myself.

I can't wait until the new challenge! :D

Elizabeth...You are SO close to Onederland! I can't wait to get there myself! It's my next goal.

Priss: I'm not sure on the next challenge...was it Halloween or Thanksgiving? Oh, and thanks for singing Bon Jovi to me, lol!

Rainbow: You also got so close! Good for you. I hope you're feeling a little better today?

Lori: I need you to come help me shop for "transition" clothes...it's SO expensive buying a new wardrobe every few months (but still totally worth it!)

Everyone else: Congrats to all who met or came close to goal! And for those who didn't quite make it, hope the next challenge goes better!!

:carrot::carrot:I'm dancing for all of you that made goal this challenge. I will have a measurable goal so I can join the celebrations. Well actually I'm celebrating that I didn't quit and I didn't get bigger. I lost maybe a half size. Anywho...Lets party!!!

Looking forward to working the next challenge with you ladies!!
