Way to go, Folks! Keep up the great work. I only weigh in and record weekly, which is today and I had exactly 1 lb lost, which I'm happy about. Wish it was more, but I'll take every pound or fraction there of, I can GET!

Jacqui_D Oh, I know you have been stepping up your exercise routine, so it has to bee water-- no worries though that WHOOSH FAIRY may be circling your place as we speak! If not, I'll remind her to visit very soon.

And all the others-- there are so many neat stories, I just have to tell you thanks to ALL of you who share them!... wow, an inspiring bunch for sure!!

Now, I had the number -11.2# as my goal this month, and yes, that wasn't very realistic as I've been doing this for almost three months now-- but I just wanted to hit an "even" number(down to 190#) I will continue to do my best, but I know I won't make that too lofty of a goal ... but I'm OKAY with that. I'm losing every week and learning more and more, so I'll just set a more reachable goal for next challenge in November-- yup, gonna join you folks then too!

:hug: to the group

Suzanne/MrsKevin

OK, not an official goal that I started this challenge month at, but one I'm writing down for accountability for myself and the group.. Since I'm at 195.2 now, I want to be down to 194# as my target weight for the the challenge for sure, by HALLOWEEN. That will make it an even 30# weight loss since I started loosing- and that means I get one of the adorable 30# LOST CHICKENS. I posted in other threads when I got my new "chick(en)", so that's a fun goal for me to reach. The first Chick avatar I ever posted here back on 9/17 was the 20#, and made a fun post, to announce it, then 25# chick in my One-derland post in mini-goals thread... soooo, welll....err......WISH ME LUCK!

Have made big mistake this evening... Chose healthy options BUT decided to get that as-well-as rather than instead-of giant pepperoni pizza. So have now consumed whole pizza and haloumi salad. I blame all this exercise. I felt ravenous today!!

Just weighed myself when I got in so my pizza weighs about 3llbs. Must goal set for the weekend. Battle 142 re-commences!

Uh oh.... I'm 65.5kgs. I've been stressed because of my exam so I've been overeating...lots. Oh well, today is my exam so the weight loss will start up again from tonight. Still waiting on my TOM... looks like it's going to be late! :(

I dropped another 0.25 lbs and hit October’s goal…woohoo! I just hope it sticks…

Turtle: It’s time to bring out Greyhound and get to 156! :goodluck:

Jacqui: That must be water weight…it will be gone before you know it.

Joy: I hope you get back down to the 76’s. Love your new avatar!

Minneey: I wish you luck this weekend…I hope you’re back to 140 soon.

Woodstock: Congratulations on getting into the next decade! :carrot: You’re right…it is cold here. I’ve been walking on my treadmill and elliptical…it’s too cold to walk outside!

183StGB: That’s the spirit…do what you can in October and stick with it for November. It doesn’t matter how quickly you lose the weight, as long as it ultimately leaves and doesn’t come back!

MrsKevin: Good luck getting to 30 lbs lost and being able to enjoy another chicken!!

boatingmomma: Great attitude…I wish you the best of luck!

campana: Thanks for the encouragement…you were right!

Rhiko: I hope your exam went well.

JazzyPeggy: Congrats on your loss so far this month.

Joy, we have one more week so hopefully the whoosh fairy will come make a nice visit to you and the rest of us! :angel:

Jazzypeggy, looking good! :spin:

Turtle, keeping my fingers crossed for that final whoosh! :crossed:

Woodstock, yay on the drop and good job on the exercise! :exercise:

MrsKevin, yay on the 1 lb down! Keep it going! :jig: Glad you're going to join us in November!

Minneey, well, let's hope that giant pizza shakes up your metabolism and leads to a big drop in the next week! :jeno:

Rhiko, sounds like stress and hormones are playing havoc with your best plans. I hope things start to ease up for you! :dizzy:

Tuscany, woohoo! Congrats on making goal!!! Great job! :carrot: :broc: :cb:

183, nice drop! Way to go! :dancer:

Sum, looks like it was just water weight! You're on the right track now! :yes:

Boatingmommy, glad to see it's dropping back down for you! Good job on the fruits and veggies! :cp:
