    Hi! My name is Missy and I used to be take part in this challenge awhile ago but fell off track. Now I’m getting back on track and can’t wait to see what the future may hold! A little about me is that I have 4 flooffy dogs (3 huskies and a bichon), all of whom keep me busy when I’m not at work.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes: House work and a trip out to the market for food and the pharmacy.
    Goals/Day/Comments: Today was a Loaded Baked Potato for lunch. This day tested me the limit of my calories. I want to have cookies with dessert and a mini bag of kettle corn popcorn for a snack. So I skipped the butter and also my yogurt for breakfast and ate a smaller potato so I could fit everything in. It's been a good day. Mr Snicket is just adorable! He wandered into our yard two weeks ago. Somebody dropped him off in our neighborhood so of course we had to adopt him. I took him to the vet last week for a check up and shots. He's going to hate me on Wednesday when I take him to get neutered.

    @jeepkat1 He will forgive you :smile: They always do.
    Great day! Way to work in the things you want and stay on track!

    I shall be brief. My name is Leah, a 27-year-old grad student. I am always the wedding guest, never the bridesmaid nor bride. My weight issues stem partly from PCOS, that I was only diagnosed with in the last year. I am trying to find some sort of healthful balance, but lately, all I feel like doing is sitting in my room and hiding/crying.

    CW: 183.8

    October Week 1 - Sun, 10/3

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over
    Exercise: None - 6-hour car ride

    @southgirl94 Welcome back Leah!

    PCOS is definitely tough, eating lower carb has recently shown success in lessoning symptoms, I used to have a lot of those symptoms that lower carb eating has really helped with.
    Here's a good video on some PCOS things from a very well respected doctor, he talks about the causes and how to reverse it in this video.
    Hang in there though, it will get better, you're just in a really tough situation right now.

    Hello, I'm Deborah

    I was here a while back and really enjoyed this challange. I was able to lose a good bit of weight at that time and, then, life happened and I stopped paying attention to what I was eating, it all returned. So, I'm back to focus on this again. It really helps me to have the daily challenges to keep me accountable.

    I was able to get out and walk tonight and that felt good. It's been a long time since I've gotten any regular exercise.

    Here's my daily entry for today:

    Daily Post Sunday

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes - walked for 20 minutes

    Goal for October: - Get back to tracking everything, Staying under my calorie limit, and get back to walking at least 5,000 steps a day minimum.

    @DebJB30 Welcome back Deb! I agree with the daily challenge. I keep a daily planner and I've noticed the days I don't fill that out are the days I don't stick to the plan and when I don't stick to the plan, I easily lose focus and lose an entire week! Glad that you enjoyed your walk (me personally, not a fan, I cheat and listen to an audiobook or podcast or go with my neighbor and her 2 dogs for extra incentive!)

    Track yes
    Calories yes under
    Exercise yes 15 minutes of walking outside
    Water 80oz (very low for me)

    Goals/Comments
    It's been trying to get used to walking again but I'm pushing myself.

    @gjaholy33 You've already made so many positive changes in your life, it's awesome and inspiring! Definitely push yourself, but don't push too hard, realize that Rome wasn't built in a day and that even if you make it 5 minutes, that's 5 more minutes than you did before and that's a place to start!
