HALLOWE'EN 2 - Challenge/Goals
 

Starting a new thread. Maybe this will unstick my scale - no progress this week!

AHH Ruth, what can I say? Keep plugging away at it hon! Are you having trouble staying OP? How aboutt hat Plateau Buster diet thingamajiggy, might do ya some good??

As for us, well, as I already posted in the daily, we've lost 4 pounds and it really has only been since Monday! Yes, I know it's water, but hey, we'll take it anyway we can! :) :)

Good for you and DH!
 

Thanks for the encouragement, Pooky. I have just switched back to low carb (Atkins maybe?) to see if that will help me get over this hump. If this does not work, I will probably try either the "Mayo" or the Plateau Busters. I really think it's not drinking all my planned water that is causing this stall.

Anyhow 2 years ago I was a 24W and today I am an 18W - so there!

Hi Joanne,

My beginning weight is 140.50 lbs., size 10-12. My goal is for my size 6/8 suit fit, not sure how many lbs I'll need to lose by then but guessing 10-15. I really didn't want to set my goal as a weight though if that's OK. Just for the suit to fit.

Girls I am in the process of writing a big chalenge. Janice and I have though this through but I have not finished it but I am going to post what of it I have done then add more later so go back and reread it again.

DAY #4 !!!!
 

Wow, we're on thread #2 ! How exciting!!!!

DOESN'T THAT SHOW US ALL HOW COMMITTED WE ARE !!! WHOOO HOOO !! WE ARE ON OUR WAY!! WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR GOALS! WE ARE COMMITTED !!

It's about what works for US and OUR SUPPORT TO EACH OTHER! THE WHOLE PERSON, NOT JUST THE PLAN!!! COME ON FELLOW CHICKIES AND ROOSTERS!!! HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY????

I'm still here, plucking away, being faithful to my goal. I think I can make my Halloween goal of 15 pounds and exercise three days a week. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.....

Kind of in the mid-life, have I made the right choices, what is my purpose doldrums this week and staying on plan sure helps me feel like at least one aspect of my life is definitely right where it should be.

Gotta go. We're off to a Rockies game. My boys are in last place, but I'm still a loyal fan and there's always the possibility that I'll catch Barry Bonds' record setting homerun tonight!

See you all later buds!

I am so there with the cahallenge! I can't tell you how excited my dh is with his weight loss. He's happier than I've seen hiim in a long time and I think it had everything to do with the North American diet. He's told his parents about it and they are cheering him on too. We are doing really well together--him 6 pounds and me, 4. I am just so happy to have someone else to do this with, makes cooking a whole lot easier! :) :)

I am doing great except the daves hard lemonade i had yesterday 2 of them boy they are good!!! I am right on target and exercised today too. i went out to ponderosa and stayed OP really good!!

Pooky you are doing just great.

chicckadee you will get to goal. I know that you can i know tht you can i know that you can. be strong and you will get there!!

Janice you are so right it is all about supporting each other. this can not be done alone and we all need to help eachother,

Stay tough girls we can do it!

I had 2 good days, then 2 bad days. Then a good day. One the scale it all seems to have balanced out and I am the same this morning. But going full steam ahead for next week.

Chickadee, I am with you in the mid-life crisis, but your attitude is very good! At least we have control over some part of our lives!

So, hang in there, nice to hear about DH, Pooky~ that is a great help. My best days are when we both are home, I eat much healthier- at work, I am susceptible to all kinds of junk!

I am off to put in a pork roast!

Hi everyone!

Hallo everyone!

I feel a little lost today…. Remember me the ‘SKINNY LITTLE LIZARD’ of Africa. My last post was on #7 Low Carb Support. Is this the new thread?

I was off sick for 2 weeks, still feel a bit dizzy……

I stayed on my new eating plan “Atkins” (don’t want to say diet) for the last 2 weeks, however I did not drink all the water and did not exercise at all, was in bed sleeping most of the time.

I will report on my weight loss as soon as I weighed myself again, my electronic scale is still not working. (I had to take allot of medicine I hope not it had a affect on my weight)

Allot of new faces, I am glad to see the family is growing…

Please tell me more about the new chalange?

Monday: facing the challenge of a new work week. I am trying hard to plan meals. I am also giving myself permission to spend more money for this next week on lunches out- it is a big problem for me to bring food or go out cheap for something low carb. So I am giving myself a little extra "lunch money" to get better lunches. I really need the boost1

Hensa, welcome back! We are encouraging newbies to post on any thread and join in all challenges, motivation, exercise and Daily threads! Glad to see you, enjoy!

I am still hanging in for this HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE!

I am very excited, after just starting last Wednesday, I have already lost 1.5 pounds! I am currently having no problems staying op. My exercise has been fun and enjoyable.

Looking forward to some Haunting Weight Loss!
