Hi everyone--- i just wanted to share that I ran the army 10 miler today here in Washington, DC-- YEA ME! I had not been doing a lot of running...mostly walking and now the gym on the elliptical.... I wanted to not hurt myself and finish strong. I felt great at the end and even had enough energy to sprint to the finish line...It was an awesome experience... Only thing better would have been if my husband could have been there with me:sad: Maybe next year... and think how much faster I'll be after I lose some of this weight... ALSO-- I earned 1400 extra calories today...so tonight I treated my kids to dinner at a local irish pub..and myself to a great beer and a nice meal.... AND--- I totally didnt feel guilty!!!! OK, I'm starting to get a little stiff now - but I can not complain! GO THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE PEOPLE... !!!!!!! We can do it-- ONE DAY AT A TIME:drinker:

My mom told me yesterday I looked thinner - that was great to hear, even though I only lost 1 lb!

I did pretty good this week, biggest thing I've noticed is that when I do cheat (eat bad carbs) I feel so sluggish - truly yucko. It's a good motivator to keep me going with eating right. Also, I'm starting to look for ways to be active. I enjoy walking on an inside track in the mornings with my iPod after the kids go to school,but also this week I've hiked with CubScouts and played soccer in a parents vs kids game. Good calorie burning and fun too! In the past I haven't seen my ticker move and have gotten frustrated, hoping I see some more movement!

I'd like to get out of the 240s by then. at 250 now. So 11 lbs would be perfect!

Hmmm-- let's see-- 177 now. I think I'll shoot for 169 by then--

I have only been on for about a week, but I am up for the Thanksgiving Challenge! I want to lose 7 pounds by Thanksgiving! My son just turned two yesterday and I still have 15 pounds to go to pre-pregnancy weight! I love how motivational everyone is. Wish me luck.

Talk to you all soon!!

ok guys....again not a good weekend. I had a bachelorette party last weekend, and let me tell you....we definitely drank A LOT :drinker: But I didn't feel like i ate a ton, exept for the hungover cheeseburger and fries last night, which is probably why i gained 6 lbs in 3 days!!:explode: :sad:

I'm going to work at it better this week, we don't have anything going on for a couple weeks so i'm hoping to get back to the 150 range, then try and get to 147 for halloween. I just wish i could break this streak of doing good, then messing up and eating/drinking bad. It's sooo hard sometimes, but yet, at the same time i know i can do it.
Anyways,

So....I know that I am a little late for when this started but I am jumping in. My husband told me he wanted to eat healthier so I think that will help me too. So, by Thanksgiving I want to lose 10 pounds and have a developed a more committed exercise plan. There! I said it! You all are witnesses to my commitment! So here I go!!!:bigsmile:

I'm so excited! I'm finally seeing a difference! YAY! I've lost 7 lbs and an inch off my waist and hips! Yipee! I haven't been successful the last few times I've tried to lose weight in the past and started to give up, but decided to give it another try. So this is a big deal, and motivator for me!

Look at that ticker go! Woo Hoo!!!

Hi everyone! I am not doing so well so far. I had double ear infection, sore throat, ect last week, then my doc wanted me to get a flu shot. You guessed it, I got the flu!!!!! Unfortunately, I crave food (any kind, almost) when I am sick, UGH! But I am starting to feel better and only gained 2 pounds (lost several inches though, does that count?). Next week will be better, I promise. I think I still have enough time to lose to my goal (maybe wishful thinking, lol).

51 DAYS UNTIL THANKSGIVING!

I still have not lost a lot of pounds, but my clothes fit better. I lifted at the gym today and noticed in the mirrors (they surround at the gym, sometimes good, sometimes not) how much more toned I was. Not just toned but building muscle mass (not bulky).
I have seen this progress over the last 3 months and expect to see more. I am going to stop focusing on the numbers and focus on how I feel when I look in the mirror.

Good luck everyone.

OH NO!

I broke 2 bones in my foot, and now it hurts to just walk much less run. I'm hoping I'll still be able to bike, bc otherwise this challenge is NOT going to go well for me! How do you lose weight without using your left foot? hahhaha.

Oh no! How the heck did you do that? You poor thing. How long are you going to have to be off of your left foot?

I'm sure you can still lose some kind of weight. Hmmm...maybe you could try aquatics? I don't know. I can think of a lot of strength training exercises, but nothing cardio comes to mind. I'm sure someone will think of something though. Hang tight. :happy:

laurabelle25

Jill!! oh no is right. :noway: i'm sorry you broke your foot! but keep your head up, maybe do pilates or work on your upper body....or swimming might be great, if you don't have a cast on.

I would love to lose at least 5 more pounds by then just because I love to bake (and eat) all of the pies. Pumpkin, cherry, and apple. Of course the sweet potatoes get to me too. I know that I will have some weight gained back that week so I need to lose in advance.
