My weight as of Tuesday was 166.4, not sure about today scared of the scale... I ate homemade chicken nugget for dinner last night.. yet I did do a Hiit so I think I am good.
SW for Oct -169
CW as 10/21-166.4
1.5 to go, lets hope I didn't gain from bad food on Thursday0 -

Down 5. Got another week left so maybe another one ^^0 -
Ok weigh in for today....

CW....111!
3lbs in 4 weeks! I am sooooooooooooooo happy! I am not sure if I will lose the two lbs left for this challenge but I am so happy to have lost the 3 lbs that I did. I can see more definition in my arms and really in my legs (thighs). I feel more motivated to workout because man I feel great! And I am actually considering started the beginner's running program that I did last March but stopped in May. Brought my running shoes and workout clothes to work to maybe do a walk/jog interval workout during lunch.
As an aside....my boyfriend's father offered me chocolate ice cream last night after dinner and I decided to indulge. He gave me two scoops and to my own suprise I only ate one! I never, NEVER used to be able to resist chocolate ice cream, but I just looked at the other scoop and didn't feel that I wanted it. The one scoop for me last night was satisfying enough. Sorry to blab but I thought that was a breakthrough for me!
Everyone who has participated in this challenge looks great! I am so happy to be a part of this group. This really is a great moivation and great support. Wishing the best to everyone to continue on for the next week!0 -

Congratulations! Cake is my weakness, so I totally understand how hard it is to say "no" - but when you don't have to tell yourself no because you just don't want it?! BEST FEELING EVER! Keep up the good work!0 -

3lbs! I don't know if I'll get the last two in before the 31st, but to be honest I never thought I'd get down this much! When I started MFP, my GW was 145, so this challenge helped me get there - finally!0 -

Congrats hun!! Any loss is worth celebrating. Even if you don't reach the 5 for this challenge, you are still victorious!!! :drinker: Congrats on meeting your initial goal weight. New goal now??? Keep up the great work!!0 -
Sooooo.... my weigh in for today is..... 148.4 ---- 0.4 up from last week :ohwell:
Kinda had a feeling this would happen because of how my week started but I'm glad that it's ONLY 0.4. I highly doubt I will be at my goal of 145 by Halloween so I'm going to set a new goal of 147 -- which requires a loss of 1.4. I think I can do that. 3.4 pounds by then is not gonna happen!!

Congratulations on your wedding! What a beautiful thing!! Don't sweat the gain. You will get it back off in no time.
yeah, I find it hard to believe I ate 27000 calories in one week, so I thought it was sodium or something but it's still not down, so I guess I did, or something.
Thanks for the congrats, we had a good time

Ok I weighed in this mornin since I am leaving for vacation early tomorrow morning...
SW 114
CW 110!
GW 108-109
I cannot believe that I lost another lb! I stared at the scale in shock! I am so happy right now. This is going to be a great start to my vacation. I did not meet the 5lbs lost by Halloween, but that's ok. When I get back I will start kicking butt again and maybe lose a little more. Good luck to everyone and have HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!0 -
I am so happy for those of you who reached your goal and conquered the challenge. Our weigh in day is tomorrow but I was thinking we could weigh in on Monday, Halloween day to give us a few extra days to get some workouts in before our last weigh in. If you would still like to weigh in tomorrow, go for it, but for those of you who would like a couple extra days, let's weigh in Monday. Best of luck to everyone.0

I was planning my final weigh in on Monday as well, since it's the last day for the challenge 0

Oops I havent check in in ages but I'm down from 80 to 78 so thats 2 kilos, not bad!0

Weigh-in!
Starting weight 140.2
current weight 136.6
Total loss for challenge: 3.6 lbs. I'm quite happy with this. While I would have loved to have lost the 5 lbs, considering I've lost 98.5 lbs total....and extra 3.6 is awesome this late in the game!
I'd really like to lose another 5-8 lbs before Christmas...but, if I don't and I just lose 1-2 or maintain...I know all my choices are going to be good ones.
This isn't about the losses...but rather the gains in wisdom and strength for me!
Best of luck everyone!!!!0 -

Good job! I see every loss as an success,and I always keep track of measurements too, keeps me motivated to see them get smaller when the scale doesn't budge.0 -
