Thanks!
You're not so far behind yourself!

Congrats all! Awesome work!!! :)

I hit 26 down this week, so I am very happy.

Wonder if I can do another 20 by Halloween?

Congrats to everyone!

Way to go!!

I hit 24 yesterday so only 1 pound needed for this week! I didn't think I would make it, in the middle of the challenge my losses were very slow. Good luck everyone!

Hi All: I'd love to join your thread / challenge - 25 lbs' by Halloween! :witch:

Honestly, I didn't think it was possible to even get close to this goal when I started on Aug-18 so, I would always skip over this thread (regretfully). But now, having lost 15.4lbs in 25 days, I think it's feasible and I want to challenge myself. Especially because, candy / sugar is my major weakness it will be great to say NO to all the candy that will be available at work.. I never used to pass by a candy bowl without at least taking one piece (or two). Since having started IP and getting through the first week, I feel more in control and confident over my food choices. I can say 'No', not only that but I have no cravings. I just have to simply make sure that I'm armed with my food and try to eat every 4hrs and then I won't get into trouble.

So.. I'm IN THIS with you guys - 25 by Halloween; I'll take it!

Good luck everyone and thanks for letting me join your challenge ~ Good Luck to All :ghost: Mwahaha!

OMG you guys rock! You all are keeping me OP though this incredibly frustrating stall. (Ya...I'm in a mood today...no biotching about stalls unless you've sat there for at least a month ON PLAN!)

By Halloween last year, the candy just looked and smelled gross!

Hooray!!! I made it! 26 pounds in the 25 by Fall challenge! :)
(...and a bump to the thread!)

:carrot::hat: YAY! Congrats to everyone.


I made it by .2lbs for the fall challenge and I am 2lbs from 100lbs gone! Going to keep going to chart where I will be for Halloween.
What an awesome birthday gift to me. Turned 45 yesterday.. I am no longer thinking of how I missed some cake yesterday.. but how great getting to goal will be.

That's so awesome Addy! Congrats!!

Happy Belated Birthday!! And way to go!!

Happy belated birthday and congrats on the almost 100lbs - that's amazing! And I am one whole week older than you - it was my birthday on the 9th and I turned 45 too! :D

Sarita: Way to go! I have to tell you, you have done fabulously! I have worked in the same field as you for nearly 25 years and staying OP with all the stress that comes with the job is no mean feat!

And everyone - what a great job! Congrats to everyone who is participating - we are a great bunch of shrinkers!

Thanks Ruth Ann! This has been my first true diet plan and I have been determined to get 'er down and get into maintenance. :) I have actually found that the diet is helpful with my work as I go out to eat less, etc. The only thing that has been hard is my WI days when I leave work for about 1.25 hours. Alas.

And congrats again to all!

I was already used to eating at my desk since I never seem to have time to actually go get something or sit down and eat lunch so that helped, but I do try to put the big bowl of lettuce I keep on my desk away before clients come in!
