    I am all for new. I have been finishing up my "200 lb ", post and as of 10-01, I wanted to start something new.

    Hey, can you start this on the nutrition and exercise??

    I am working towards the goal of 150, but I would like to loose 7-10 lbs Oct, Nov and Dec.

    I will aim for 7 lbs by 11-7-08

    Ok.. so I've been MIA because I was on vacation... :bigsmile:

    I only gained a pound on vacation, but I REFUSE to log it b/c I'm hoping it will come of quickly as I return to my 'normal' way of eating... it was tough being on vacation, I thought I'd do better with sticking to my new lifestyle... but the beers and the ice creams just didn't help! :grumble:

    anyway... I'm back! :drinker:

    so.. same goal as last month... 1 pound a week = should be 4 or 5 pounds by the end of October!

    yeah!

    Hey there!
    I'm back at it , too. Sort of lost track for the past two weeks (mental vacation) following the triathlon, but need to get back at it. My goal is to lose 20 lbs by Christmas - so that's about a pound a week. For October my goal is to lose a total of 4 pounds.

    So glad we're doing this again!!!!!!:heart:

See you in november:) (and cross your fingers for me that I'll get my butt in gear and finish):laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    It's friday everyone - time to check in!!!!
    I wasn't going to do this because of the bad new - up 1.2 lbs (my excuse is my birthday party - but I need to get past excuses and just commit for crying out loud). :sad:

    To keep on track - I now have to lose 4.2 lbs for next friday morning.:ohwell:

    Looking forward to hearing your stories and for your motivation :bigsmile:

    It looks like it's you & I, petunia! Hope your week is going well . . . big drum roll for tomorrow!! I'm certainly not down the 4+ lbs (it was Canadian Thanksgiving on the weekend), but I've been better & hopefully it will pay off.

    ok.. here goes...

    I finally broke my plateau and lost another pound.. whew! I was beginning to think I was stuck forever!

    I am doing much better now that I'm back into the swing of things from vacation... and thank God for Zumba... absolutely loving it and can't believe the number of calories I burn in just one our (last night was 650, and I totally forgot I was working out!)

    anyway.. good luck to you, BLammi...

    anyone else still out there?????????

    Way to go!!! Haven't heard of Zumba but sounds great!

    I'm down 0.6, which doesn't really count for much. My motivation seems to waiver - today I'm motivated and have done well - so here's hoping next week goes better.
