Pssst, Melissa, I think you were supposed to PM Eny so that we could all have a go without sharing the answers!
Mel - Primm is right - you have to PM me your answers. I'm not telling you your score, otherwise EVERYONE will know what answers to change to get the ....
hey flagirl28! Don't listen to the negative people around you. Of course you can do it!! In fact, it looks like you're already on your way. Congrats on the 5# gone!!!!
I'm in... I've been slacking, but I would like to be DOOOOOOOOOOWNSIZED by Halloween. I'll take some time to reflect on my weight loss journey and post my goals later. Thanks for starting this, Eny!
This is the challenge that needs to get me back on track. I want to walk, jog, jumprope, taebo, and crunch my way to a healthy and ACTIVE lifestyle. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, but I have to watch those hot chocolates, trips to Starbucks, and random goodies.
During September, I will:
- Post here daily - It seems that my posting decreases coincide with periods of slackage. Not gonna happen.
- Monitor my caloric intake DAILY - I have to do this in order to recognize patterns in my eating, and to get a better understanding of where the weight comes from - starting today 9/2
- Enjoy ACTIVITY- I've gotten better at this by not using my gym membership. As the weather gets colder, I'll have to suck it up and go to the gym. But there is nothing better than being outside, seeing life, and enjoying movement/activity.
-Update my WL blog regularly.
-Reassess my weight loss goals as I lose more weight. - I've realized that my original GW may be too small for my body, so I will pay attention to not only the scale and my lack of stomach blubber but how I feel in my weight.
My life is changing, so I want to be open to change and willing to see the beauty in everything!!!
Im starting to love looking in the mirror! Because i am finally starting to see my body change!! It is by far the greatest feeling I have felt in a LONG time!!
I would love be be down 15 lbs by the time Halloween comes!! My bday is a week before halloween..EVEN if I can just be some where in the 150's by that time I will be so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey has anyone got a healthy idea how much exercise u should do in a week. I have no money for a gym, so my options are a workout video at home or going running, which i do both of about 2-3 times a week, but do people do much more then this? would i loose more if i went out 4-5 times a week? and is it safe to put my body under that pressure as a tall big girl? (i exercise like like im a small girl cause my brain cant accept im fat lol)
WOW! THIS IS AWESOME THAT THERE'S SO MANY OF US!!! My *plan* is to update (on Saturdays) everyone's current weight - so MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME!!!!! Here's the "sticker" for weighing in EVERY WEEK!!! 1 for each week - PLEASE PM YOUR WEIGH INS SO I CAN KEEP TRACK!!!! ALSO - YOU GET A EVEN IF YOU GAINED - SO NO EXCUSES!!!***you can weigh in whatever day you want to... first recordable weigh in date is Sunday, September 6th. - meaning I'll take week 1 weigh ins 9/6-9/12 and post them on 9/13. This give the late comers a week since the beginning of the challenge (see I CAN be nice!)***
If I missed anyone - or more want to Join - LET ME KNOW!!! All Are welcome anytime!!! (if you're a punk and drop out then I will delete you off the list... this happens if you miss 2 weigh ins in a row.)

Reason: adding more and more people! YAY!
Eny, WTG on staying focused today and getting your morning workout in. I wish I could get in the habit of getting up and working out early, but it never seems to happen that way. I did something to my leg/hip during yesterday's walk, so I now have a little "hitch in my getalong". I don't want to make it worse, so instead of the walk, I'll be riding the stationary bike tonight. Not as much fun, but I don't want to miss a day this early in the week!
Tamara, sounds like you have a great plan laid out. Success is on it's way!
freethetoys, I'm no expert, but I don't think that being a big tall girl would affect the number of times you can exercise per week, though it might affect the kinds of exercises you can do and perhaps the intensity.
