    Usm did you join the 20's thread?

    Yeah I did join the 20's thread. I am kind of confused about it though. Is it like this one that you track your progress? I wasn't sure if it was like that or just a way of talking to other people in their 20's trying to lose weight also.

    I think its whatever you want it to be . At least thats the way I see it. Can I add you?

    Sure you can add me. I kind of figured that' what it was whatever you want it to be. Which is fine with me the more the support the better. I love the dress by the way it is beautiful!!!!
    So I haven't weighed in yet this week I am on Friday so I will post it then. I have been feeling kind of crappy this week with my husband gone to Sgts course and not being able to go to the gym. I have still been working out but not my usual routine. Hopefully the scale will be good to me. I always worry :ohwell: if I am not burning a ton of calories if the scale is going to see a difference. I guess I will know in 2 days.

    Damn!! I sure thought I'd be farther along than 175 by now-- :grumble: Stinkin' hormones!!
    And I've been wayyyyyyy faithful with calories and exercise

    Still shooting for 169, but not holding my breath. :angry:

    Morning everyone!

    I've done extremely well this week, only really skrewed up once on tues. (drank some beers, god i love a good pumpkin ale!:drinker: ) but I made up for it w/ extra exercise on wed and thurs. I've been running/walking the dog about 3 times a week, and i've started a new program: 30 day Shred, which is amazing so far (yesterday was my first day, wow what a workout:noway: ). so i'm hoping to really start losing those lbs!

    However, did get down to 150.....FINALLY!
    That happened on Monday, so haven't lost anything since, but that's ok. I'm hoping that next Fri I could be down to 149 (maybe 148 even, if i work really hard :happy: )

    Last week: 152
    This week: 150
    Thanksgiving goal: 146
    Overall Goal: 135

    Good Luck and Stick With It Everyone!!!!

    Hi all -
    Good work, Laura. Jill - I feel your pain. For the first time since starting the challenge, I'm reporting a gain.
    Last week's weight: 136.6
    This week: 137.2
    I can't complain too much since I let my husband tempt me with lemon iced, lemon pound cake and I've binged before bed a few times. I'm actually relieved it's not worse. Hopefully, I'll have better news to report next Fri., but my goal of 132 at Thanksgiving seems rather elusive.
    Happy Halloween everyone - try to be good.

    Hi all this morning after Halloween. It ended up being a frightful night - I lost track of how much candy I ate. :grumble: But, today is another day.
    Congrats to usmcwifeb15 for losing weight this week. :happy: Your Thanksgiving goal is within reach!

    Thanks for the support :smile: This is such a difficult time of the year; Halloween usually kicks off my weight gain. I'll be thrilled if I can maintain this weight until the holidays are over! I did go overboard last night, getting into the Halloween candy :grumble: , but today's a new day. After Thanksgiving challenge, we should do a New Year's challenge to get through the holidays. :happy:

    I am stuck this week. I only lost .2! At least it was a loss. I think it put me in a bad mood though, cause today I ate like crazy and had enough eggnogg for half of my calories! :sad: I just have to remember that tomorrow is a new day! I also dumped the rest of the eggnog down the drain! I'm gonna work really hard this week and lose at least a pound. Now that I wrote it down, you are all my witnesses!
    Good luck this week, be strong! Congrats to all you losers this week! :happy:

    Starting weight 340
    Starting challenge weight 303
    Current weight 294
    Thanksgiving goal weight 288
    Stretch Thanksgiving goal weight 283
    Pounds to go by Thanksgiving 6 (11 to reach stretch goal)

    Im working on trying to make it to my goal and im not sure im going to make it ! I weighed in the same no loss. Im still trying, gor awhile i was sick so i know i wasnt up to par on everything i should have been doing. I also have a hard time eating all my cals, im a light eater and try to spread out my meals and snacks but it still doesnt add up . I hope this week will show some results next week, cause its to the scale and measurements! Hope everyone else is within there goal .

    Hi Anne,

    I saw the wedding clip that you posted. That is a classic and made my day:laugh: Any way, I got back on track during the week so far. You're right about us being in the same boat on the weekends. I love my beer also:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: . I will definitely touch bases with you on Friday before the weekend starts and again on Monday to see how we did. I tried real hard during the week because Saturday is my downfall. I'll clue you in a little more on Friday. How are you doing? Pat

    Thank you! I just am not putting up with the crappy way I used to live. Today was a little hard I kind of munched all day but I got in an hour work out and burned just over 500 calories.

    Good Luck to you!:drinker:
