Hi!

I think a challenge is just what I need right now and would like to join. :D

I haven't posted since June after an injury to my foot made it impossible to exercise. Then my eating spiraled out of control. My goals, as listed in my signature, are to get back on track with eating and re-start an exercise routine.

Current weight is 177. Because I am re-starting after gaining a little over 10 pounds, I guess that's also my start weight.
Goal weight: I am a very slow loser. :^: So for now, I want to focus on behavioral goals, things I can control, rather than a number on the scale. So here goes. By Thanksgiving, I want to have lost my cravings for sweets. :devil: I want to exercise five days a week, with a good mix of cardio, strength, and flexibility training. :carrot: I plan to refine my goals over the next week or so and make them more specific.

I am looking forward to this and to chatting with everyone!

Hi everyone! Well I just got weighed in today and I'm down 5 pounds from two weeks ago. I'm a little disappointed because I was really good for the past 2 weeks with food and exercise and all I have to show for it is 5 pounds and since I'm so heavy I thought I would continue to lose more weight per week, oh well.

5 pounds is great! remember that 2 pounds per week is a good healthy rate to loose!

Today's weigh in for me....down 3 lbs....to 195 :D Just 10 left to my thanks giving goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great job!!! I have 10 pounds left too! We can do it!
