    I'm in, just for fun to see what I lose, or gain. It will be nice to keep track of this kind of progress in a month. So far I have only done the distance moved in a month challenge. Good luck everyone.

    I don't like pumpkin anything... hopefully a few dark chocolate covered almonds will help with the temptations of other sweets. My sweet tooth isn't too big (most of the time)... my main problem is food.

    I have hypothyroidism, so I lose super slow, but I'm determined this time to make this weight loss thing stick for real!! As for the person above me, I'm sure you're determined enough to not blow your diet too bad, but it is vacation right? Don't limit too much :) Have fun!
