Heres my hair after my mini makeover.. I love it..

I finally weighted myself.. I gained 2 pounds last week. Not too bad for being bad most of the week. Im getting back on track. This will work.. Right?! Lets hope..

Welcome newbies.. Glad to have you aboard.. We dont follow any certain diet.. We share with one another what does and doesnt work. And we use the tools on MFP to help us achieve our goal. Feel free to join in at anytime..

Happy Monday all!!

Way to go on the losses and maintains, you guys! Maintains are victories, too. Remember that.

April, your new hair is so cute! I'm digging the red highlights.

Bru, sorry to hear about your lizard. Losing a lovie is so hard. They're not pets, they're family.

Kitsune, that fox costume is SO cute! I found this one - it isn't as cute as the Yandy one - but it could be a good option! http://www.amazon.com/Costume-SuperCenter-Foxy-Lady-Adult/dp/B000GWHBAE

awwww how sad. I have 4 dogs and change my pictures rotating so they dont feel left out lol. I have a very old pit bull who has become so wrickedy and she is a rescue. I have had her for 10yrs. Im dredding that day. So my sadness is felt with you.
So I just stumbled upon this 20lb thing. when did you guys start? I have been doing this now for 20ish days. Im not excercise much because I am doiing core stregnthing 2 times a week for a injury. The eliptical only 10mins on that same day. I can do more just need to do it. I was thinking of joining with you guys on this.

Welcome Certified_Femail!


I need to get myself psyched up about my efforts again. I get all excited and make good choices, but then I get lazy and complacent and make not so good choices. While I've gone over my calories only about two or three times in my time here (25 days), I am being lazy on the exercise. I'm a housewife. I have practically NOTHING else to do during the day aside from housework. Why is it that even though I'm flooded with "me" time, that I have a hard time ramping myself up to use it wisely? Hubby and I are getting out there and being more active, which is definitely a good thing. But, the good solid workouts are lacking.

Bru~I'm so sorry for you loss, I loss my first baby (Alley the cat!) in 2008 and I was heartbroken. My heart goes out to you.

Grats everyone who lost or maintained. Weigh in is Thrusday so we shall see. I feel like this week went ok, lots of bike riding. Since it nice and saves me money I've tried to ride my bike wherever I go rather than driving. Hopefully I can keep it up this week too. TOM is here though so I've been feeling yucky today.

Hope everyone's week goes great!! We're totally doing this!

Thank you all for your kind words. That was not how I wanted to start off my morning yesterday. It did get much worse as 2 hrs later, my Grandpa in law across the street fell and head his head on his concrete driveway. He did that Sunday night and refused to get checked out then between that one and yesterday mornings fall, he fell inside his house 3 other times....he refuses actual help. He just wants us to go and help him up and leave. It's hard to watch my hubby and family always go through this. So hopefully, Grandpa got everyone's message yesterday...

OK, so enough about my 'poor me' stories..... I know I need to step up my game, I've been slacking, only doing one exercise a day and not hitting my goal of calories burned, since April until about August, I was always at my goal or burning more than my goal. SO I know I need to move it. I'm planning on hitting the park today (whether my 5k buddy comes with or not) and I'm going to run as much as I can. The park has a 1.5miles walking trail, I know I won't be able to do it non-stop, but if I can get in at least one mile then walk for about 3-5min and then start running again then it's something. I did do 30 day shred yesterday, Level 1 Day 3, so I'll do that again tomorrow. I think I'll go for less ompact today and do a Leslie Sansone video.

Keep on losing all, you are doing very well! ANd welcome to all the newcomers, we have a great group here and share just about anything. Have a great Tuesday all and I'll see ya Friday for my weigh in if not sooner

XoxoxoX Bru

Pinky - I know what you mean! Before I got my current job and started up school again I found it difficult to really keep to a schedule. Though I was also depressed because I had no income >.> You can use your lovely doggy as exercise! If there's a park you can take him to run with you, you'd both be getting the exercise you need!

Bru - Oh my gosh, I don't even really know what to say. I'm so sorry

Congrats on the losses everyone! And best of luck to those that will be weighing in soon!

I have again not eaten much today and just remembered bloody b/f dumped me you see and mind is elsewhere, not sure if it has done my weight good or bad, will see tomo, fingers crossed.

I know it's hard sweetie, lemme know if there's anything I can do to help

Hi all. I would like to join your challenge. I just found your first thread which I read through and it has brought me to here. I dont know if I will be able to lose 20 by Halloween but any weight loss is ok with me. I just love how you all motivate each other. I wasnt around for the start but I do weigh every week. So my starting weight for this would of been 194, week 2 192.2, week 3 191, and week 4 of 189, 5 lbs total. Im starting a new workout come sunday from beach body so hoping to lose another 10 lbs before Halloween.

Good luck everyone on your weight loss goals.
