    I'm away from my own scale for another week, and the scale here shows a three pound difference or so. I will be weighing myself as soon as I get back and posting then. I'm really curious as to how I'm doing! Oh well, at least it keeps me from weighing every day.

    I'm trying very hard not to overeat today... The last few days have been tough, and I feel like I've been "feeding the cold"... All I want is comfort food when I'm feeling crappy, and that is not helping the scale any. :grumble:

    I'm with ya on this one! Something about October that makes me want to eat and eat and eat! Lets punch October in the face instead! :flowerforyou:

    My punches are flailing, but not hitting the target... :tongue:
    Only a few days left to get my act together. I haven't eaten any halloween treats yet (miracle of miracles), but have somehow made up for it with other foods. Sometimes with silly things I don't even normally eat, like crackers...

    Hey everyone,

    Only a few days left in October. I hope everyone is losing- WHICH I DID NOT this month. I did a whole lot of gaining because I went of vacation and now I am super busy with work and school.

    I've been trying to "JUICE" fruits and vegetables for most of the day and eat only small amount of something for lunch and dinner. I was up like 5 pounds for the month. I'm hoping this helps. I need to be back on track

    Hello everyone,

    I am still here I just have been soooo busy. I think since school started I have had something almost every night of the week. I also had 2 new infants start my home daycare so work has been really stressful and crazy busy also.

    I have not had a great loss nor gain this month. With all the activity and stress I am surprised that I did not gain.

    I have not been getting any exercise other than making sure I park far away from wherever I have to be and walking through the parking lot.

    Now that fall sports are over maybe I can catch up with everyone and all the posts.

    I just started the page for the November challenge. I know it is early but I have a few minutes while the babies are sleeping.

    Here is the link for November

    SEE YOU THERE ON TUESDAY!

    Boo. :/ I had sinus issues for almost 2 full weeks and now I have a chest cold. No Half Marathon Training for me yesterday or today and it's killing me to not get out and run. Wow, did that really just come out of my mouth?! Yes, yes it did! I really enjoy jogging, running, whatever ya wanna call it. I missed 10miles so far of training, but I'm up almost 14 from the first 8weeks, so I'm almost averaged out, but still.

    Nothing but, water, oj, oatmeals, soups and chilli for me for the next day or so.

    I have my first Halloween 5k with my brother, Tyler (his first!) and I CANNOT miss it. Off to sleep some more.

    Started MFP 10/20 - 179.6
    10/28 -172.8

    6.8lbs

    I just started running and my diet was super bad before I started MFP so its probably water weight from dropping all the salty foods

    1st Oct: 144.8
    8th Oct: 142.4
    15th Oct: 142.0
    22nd Oct: 138.9
    29th Oct: 137.3

    TOTAL LOSS: 7.5lbs

    Very pleased with that actually.

    I'm cheating a bit by taking today's result as my official final weigh-in, because I'm going to be partying hard tonight and the scale will definitely be up for a few days afterwards! Should mostly be water weight though :)

    Looking forward to next month guys!

    I'm in. Just lost 5 in Sept, but Oct will be much harder.
    Sept 1 = 132.8
    Oct 1 = 127.8
    Oct 8 = 127.4 (yup, October is harder!)
    Oct 15 = 127.2 (Captain Incremental is clearly in charge)
    Oct 22 = 125.8 (it's been a very rough month, so I'm happy with 2lbs thus far)
    Oct 29 = 126.8 (ugh. well, pure muscle no doubt!)
    Nov 1 = ????

    Super happy with my 5 lbs lost. Last week was thinking I wouldn't make it. This challenge kept me on track and helped me to not give up.
