    I'm so glad you made a discussion board for us! I think I'll find it very helpful.

    On another note, we have a great team and I'm super pumped on the challenges this month!

    I'm glad we have a discussion board, too!! The other one was being underutilized as far as chat is concerned. Not that I should be chatting at work... but you get my point.

    13 weeks, ladies! I'm nervous but pumped. I feel like I'm about to go on stage for a performance or something, Hopefully that's a good thing.:laugh:

    My first BIG goal is to be 213 by 2/13 (my birthday). After that I'll be able to turn my attention to nonscale things such as easy leg-crossing and trampy Halloween costumes for 2012. :blushing:

    lol martiiiii what would the CHILDREN say!??!?
    just kidding

    anyway i guess my first big goal will be to fit into a size 12! hopefully thatll happen sometime in between halloween and thanksgiving. the last time i weighed this much (actually 3 lbs less), my 14's were veryy loose. so fingers crossed~!!

    ideally id want to be a size 10 by christmas but again, anything past what i am now is uncharted territory, so we'll see! for now im kind of enjoying the ride. i hit this point where everythings starting to change and im enjoyng the changes in my body. which is why i didnt freak when i plateaued last week. :)

    LOL. That's what my husband said when I told him! He was like, "Are you wearing that to trick or treat with the children or is it for me?" I was all, "I will wear it to an adult Halloween Party! Those exist, you know!" :happy:

    I love it. My starting weight was over 235-240 (didnt really weigh in the beginning). I am at 205 now ! Praisin the Lord for the strength to continue on. Weights kinda stopped so I need to push forward to reach my goal of 158lb by May 1 2012 (46th bday). Been a rollercoaster dieter all my life but this is the first time I've been successful and healthy. No stimulants or pills. It's slower but I feel good about it. :happy:

    Marti,

    I just finished my 30 day shred workout for today. I'm on level 2 and I had no problem doing 50 jumping jacks or 50 crunches. Didn't even get 25 lunges or squats (I don't think), but I did them after the workout. So all-in-all, I got us 2 points for the mash-up challenge! :D

    HAPPY TUESDAY GUYS!!! im determined to make yesterday better than today! who's with me?:drinker:

    so i had this thought that i should ask a "question" each day to provoke discussion and thought and just help us stay focused on our weight loss and goals. so this one's easy enough:

    WHATS YOUR NEXT MINI-GOAL/THING YOURE LOOKING FORWARD TO?

    marti and i kind of already shared ours yesterday but before that im really excited to be under 191 again. that was my lowest weight as an adult, and the last time i was there was the end of senior year in college. how about you?

    When I get under 250 (9 pounds to go) our family is going to do a zip line adventure called beanstalk journey. I can't wait! :):):)

    I posted before I saw that this was a team forum and not a challenge forum. I'm a princess.... sorry.
    Have a great day team thin it to win it!

    I really want to get down to 170, I haven't seen that number in a couple years. I'd like to reach it by NYE so I can wear a dress I ordered for last NYE which turned out to be too small.

    Other things I want to work on are feeling comfortable in public, with friends, etc so that I have a good time. I pretty much killed my social life because of this problem. It'd be nice to balance healthy lifestyle with occassional drinking on weekends.

    My first mini goal is to be 200 by Halloween, and I really have to kick it in gear! I've been slacking lately because of school work. I'm on campus from 8am to 8pm straight most days! So it's really hard to go to the gym or find time to. That's what I get for choosing one of the hardest professions to study... :tongue:
    Anyway, I'm really going to need to find a way to get motivated for the next couple weeks as major things start winding down. But once I have the bridesmaids dress ordered next Monday, I think the realization that I need to really get a move on will sink in. It's so hard to get myself motivated when there is so much other things going on!

    Thanks for reading my rant!! :happy:

    Oh, and I did 25 of each yesterday!

    I don't know if you live in a dorm or a house, but you could find a workout dvd that's only like 30 minutes and do that before classes or after. It's not necessary to spend hours in a gym, anything is better than nothing. I'm doing the 30 Day Shred and it's only 26-28 minutes with warm-up/stretching. I bought the dvd on amazon for $6. And just really be aware of how many calories you're putting in, if this is crunch time, you'll have to be honest! You can do it girl!

    My next goal is to fully fit into the two pairs of jeans that are taunting me from my closet. They fit on, but they are so tight they give me a muffin top!

    WEDNESDAY'S QUESTION: what has been your proudest moment/biggest achievement of your weight loss journey so far?
  • DancinSMartiPants

    Proudest? I'm such a blabber that I have probably said or blogged about it already. Let me think about it a bit. hmm...

    Let me catch up from yesterday, we had a holiday yesterday so I was busy all day yesterday. Anywho, my next goal, hmmmm I REALLY want to be in ONEderland by Christmas, but that is 25 lbs away and time is fleeting, so I am thinking ONEderland by Valentines day!

    My proudest moment, just having stuck it out for 3 months now. I was always able to diet for a few weeks or maybe a month, but I am just proud of myself that I have stuck to it, even though the weight loss has really slowed.

    proudest moment on this journey so far is probably running my first 5k. the fact that i run on a regular basis is a major success for me.
