I didn't do too badly last month, with the exception of one bad week. I still nearly reached my weight goal which was to be under 68 kilos. This morning I was 68 kilos exactly, and considering the water weight I'm carrying thanks to TOM, I'm happy with that.

My October goals are:
Get below 66 kilos
Be able to run 15 kilometres (I can run 10 kilometres at the moment)
Continue making healthier food choices
Be able to do 5 proper pushups on my knees
Do my circuit workout twice a week nearly every week
Have no more than 2 cheat days

There's something about the 180's....they just love sticking around. I lost one lb in Sept. Whoopee. Oh well, the past is over, moving on...

I have one goal for this month - just one. 181.

I want to hit that 100 lbs lost total mark on or before the 24th. That would be exactly one year when I started.

What they say really is true, "a year from now you'll be glad you started today." It really feels like just yesterday.

October Goal
lose 12lbs
walk everyday

SW-280
GW-160
CW-272

October goal 260

Vex- What is it about the 100 pound mark? I am really struggling with it.

166 for me again this morning. Not too bad all things considered.

Dedicated- you and me, and 175. there will be party hats, and a fruit. cool? ha ha.

alaskanlaughter- what speed do you run at? i've been working on my running, and it varies so much. i'm trying to guage whether i am getting good speed, or whether i am getting overly confident... haha

amyamy- 15km? that's awesome! have you been entering races?
treadmill or outside?

vex- 100 lb mark is a pain in the butt. i feel you.

toobig- did you just freeze your scale at 166? rock on.


me: no weigh in. food yesterday? don't even know what happened. i did hit my ultimate best run EVER yesterday on the treadmill, did a good kettlebell workout, and a yoga session. hoping to repeat all of that again today. BUT with controlled food intake!

199.6 at last nights official weigh-in at TOPS and 198.2 this morning. Maybe I'm drifting away from 200 finally? I want to take a bike ride today or maybe try out a water aerobics class, or maybe a hike. Some kind of exercise is happening TODAY.

Onderland!

167 this morning. Water retintion from sore muscles I think.

stimkovs - Thanks. I've done one 8k so far, and I have a 10k planned for the 21st of October. I do longer runs outsides, but I use the treadmill for sprints, or shorter runs. I get too bored if I'm on the treadmill too long.

Good job on your run! How far do you run?

I weighed in this morning, and I was at 67.7, so I'm below my September goals which is a relief. I've been pretty good with my eating, except for a snuch a few bites of the mousse slice in our fridge. My sister made it when she was visiting, then left so now it's just be with half a mousse slice.

AmyAmy- it was just under 7k, with a few intervals. This is a huge accomplishment for me, who HATES running (fiercely), smokes, and HATES RUNNING. lol. I guess the thing about doing something you're terrible at, is quick progress lol.


182.2 on the scale.

Very sore.

Scale and I are fighting.

197.6 this morning. Taking the bike around the neighborhood was fun and I'm planning on doing a little ride every day. Yay!

I may have to change my ORINGINAL overall goal....I was looking at my tracker and I am only 8lbs from my orignal goal....I may have to take it from 170lbs to 165...then if I am satisfied I will stay there, if not...I figure I can go by 5lb increments until I am. I have been 135 once and looked deathly ill. I would be good anywhere between 150-165 I think...but I can change anytime, thats what I love about this...it is personal, nothing anyone else says can change how you feel about yourself (image wise)...people may influence your feelings, but as long as you are true to yourself you will be happy.

You're so close! I couldn't bear to start with my overall goal, since I have much more to lose. Once I get to 180 I'll start the next goal and then probably do like you and take it five pounds at a time to see what I can maintain-closer to 150/140 for me. Actually, 125 is my fav but I'll have to see what it takes to get there.


a little over two miles on the bike, pulling 70 pounds of kids. I agreed to an 18 mile bike ride in February so it's going to take some training! Cue Eye of the Tiger...

i could chuck myself, the scale and the fridge out the window. i do so good all day, then BOOM. apparently something is going on. sometimes it's emotional, sometimes it's not. sometimes i let myself get too hungry, sometimes i don't. it's like i have a good day, and then BAM. out the window.

it's also correlated to the scale. so the scale is definately a candidate for going out the window.

Down to 268 this morning

Less nibbling and snacking on calorie-dense foods.
