Hey again everyone =) I'm back for another CC challenge! I really like them, and I need to make some specific goals this month. I don't want to go through another bout of slacking.

My Goals:
1. Drink 3-5 bottles of water a day
2. Bike rides 5 of 7 days a week
3. Don't GAIN weight

Well OF COURSE im going to join this snazzy group of ladies again! :D

This challenge i will demand from myself :

-positive thoughts everyday
-to try my best everyday
-and to NOT by any of that evil Halloween candy bags that are swamping the grocery stores right now:devil::p;)

Hello to everyone. Off to start my workout and very busy day. :hug: to all and welcome to anyone joining this challenge!

Later Gators:)

Let's see... I'd like to be under 219 by November 1. I'm at 25.6, so should be able to do this (if I don't stall, ugh).

My goals are:

no Halloween candy
stay on plan 1200-1600 average
get out of the 220s
:haphal:

Me Too
 

I'm going to do my thang this go around!! I so want to be close to a size 12. So by Thanksgiving I will be in that size 12 muffin top or not...mostly not!!! I will be working out once a day for 1 hour.

I would like to say it is so surreal to be saying I want to be in a size 12 when just 9 months ago I was in a 24. WOW...the hard work is paying off.

LETS DO THIS FOLKS WE HAVE COME THIS FAR NO NEED IN STOPPING NOW!!:woops:

Hello! I want to set my goal at ONEDERLAND again. I have been losing .5 - 1 lb a week so I think I can do that in 3 weeks, right?

Is anyone dressing up for Halloween. I hate parties but my husband goes to a huge halloween party every year. I went one year and had a panic attack. LoL This year he is going as Riker from Star Trek TNG (who he looks like), I was so excited (yes i'm a trekkie) I wanted to go as Deanna but all of the female jump suits only go up to a MEDIUM unless you make your own. ARGH. I probably wouldn't look that great in a jump suit anyway right now. But that would have been fun.

I will probably just dress in one of my standby costumes for trick or treaters. sigh.


Good luck everyone!

Hey Northern. Would you like me send you the TSP's? They obviously aren't motivating me enough looking at them every day.

Let me know. Or I can get them back to Jiggle.

Good morning Halloween Hotties!!

Lori, I hope you are feeling better this morning.

Yesterday I walked for 2 hours and did 30 minutes of T-Tapp and Callenetics in preparation for the Aids Walk in Los Angeles this Sunday. Today I was only able to do the 30 minutes T-Tapp/Callenetics and a 1-hour walk because I had to take my daughter to college earlier than yesterday. I stayed within my calorie limits, too.

This morning I was rewarded with a pound loss. Yippy!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. It is so nice to see so many people doing this challenge.

So, my main goal is to lose 4 pounds by 11/1. I want to make this super challenging though and throw in something I've been trying to do all summer: ride my bike to the beach!

It's only 9 miles, but involves 1/2 a mile on a .12 incline. I couldn't make it up a .03 at the beginning of the summer and now I can struggle up a .06. But a .12?!? Speechless.

hey CC ladies...I have been attending bootcamp these past two days; I'm not going to lie, it is rough but I'm loving the sweat and pain so much because I feel like I'm doing something. I ate too much yesterday...like 1800 calories, which is 398 over my goal for Monday. My saving grace is that I zig zag, so today would have been my "high" day it is now another "low day". Anyway...I'm working out and (mostly) eating right and I am becoming a daily weigher, which I can't do because my weight fluctuates like crazy and my scale is on some serious dope. One day I weigh 242 lbs. the next day I weigh 248 lbs. I don't even think I can eat enough food in one day to weigh that much! It's discouraging because I know I am doing the right thing, but this crazy scale keeps going up and down. Sorry for the vent.

Hey ladies,

I'm trying to avoid venting because all of my posts recently have been negative - but I am annoyed. I can't do my dvd workout because my parents have yet to unpack from their trip to the US, which means that four suitcases are sprawled and half emptied over the living room floor - where I exercise haha. I can go on the treadmill but I hate it. I am going to though, even if it's only 20 minutes. I'm wasting my days off consistently every week, and I think the fact that my room at home is a mess is not sitting well with me. I want to tidy it up but because I'm only here a couple of nights, I just don't have the motivation.

Motivation in general is proving to be difficult for me. I'm fine with food, it's ingrained into me now to count my calories, but everything else....hard.

Hey ladies, how is day 1 of this new challenge treating you?

Elizabeth: we are actually hosting a Halloween party this year, but I have NO idea what I am going to be yet. I'll probably end up with a lame Wal-Mart costume or something, lol.

Shylah: Good to see you! I was wondering where you went :) If you're absolutely SURE you don't want the TSP's right now, I can take them off your hands...unless anyone else wants them? It's probably going to be a little while yet before I'm in a 16 (still in an 18W right now, but they are getting looser!) So if anyone else is closer, please speak up! If no one says anything, Shylah, I will send you a message :)

Fit: is this bootcamp a class at a gym or something? Sounds intense!

Rainbow: I know how annoying it is when something interferes with your routine! Hope things get back to normal soon.

I'm off to a pretty good start. Lowered my calories a bit, aiming for a 1400-1600 range now. Been taking advantage of the weather and walking the dog after work on the x-country ski trails by my house. They are pretty hilly, so it's a pretty decent workout.

Have a good one!

Northern - I'm totally sure. Just PM me your info and I'll get them out to you this week. :)

Day 1 went great here! I just got home from a 2 mile walk, would've walked longer but it got dark. I'm honestly having a hard time hitting my calorie goal, but after talking to my personal trainer friend (too bad she lives many states away :() I think we've figured out the problem and tomorrow hopefully I can work on planning out my day better so I'm not withholding calories during the day out of fear of going over at night.

For Halloween we're actually going to a BeetleJuice themed party so my Love and I will be going as the couple from the movie (Barbara and Adam)

My weight stayed the same again, that's ok with me. I was after the Halloween candy today, I'll pay big time tomorrow, I know it. I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday. I'm sure I won't be able to stay away from the candy this month. I had way too many calories today, I was eating all day while I was cleaning. 4000 calories!
