    I gained this week as well. I went on a business trip so there were three days of eating every meal out and I did not make good choices! Hopefully I can get back on track this week.

    Hiya Ravenclaw! We're out of the 100's (degrees F that is) here for the forseeable future - FINALLY!! Still in the upper 90's - but still better than the 100's - LOL! So maybe I'll feel a little more motivated to exercise. We'll see...

    Did my arms last night. Almost forgot and got back out of bed just to work my arms! :laugh: The silly things we do.

    Have a great day!

    Hey everyone! The weather here can't seem to decide if it wants to cool down or stay hot so my sinuses are acting up. I really hope I don't get a sinus infection! I keep forgetting to work my arms... maybe today I'll actually remember once I get off of here.

    Azsuzi and momofJandA!!! Again!! Well done you guys!!

    Challenges from you both please, I'll let you fight it out for who does which- whoever posts first can set either food or exercise, whichever they want, and the second one to post has to do whatever's left...

    And, well done to me and THeWinged for being the only two who lost this week!!

    Wow, busy weekends for you guys I guess! Challenges anyone? If not, I am going to continue with the old ones because I really need to improve on both of those!

    I have an idea for the challenges: since we're on our extra week anyway and we all seem to be slipping, how about we leave the food challenge the same but change the exercise challenge to be "do something every day and log it". So our 3 challenges are:
    Food: log everything you eat - 1 OWL for each day accomplished
    Exercise: do something and log it - 1 OWL for each day accomplished
    Spirit: drop in the common room and post something - 1 OWL for each day accomplished

    Maybe this will encourage us to get back in the game and be more involved with our own and each other's weight loss/health journeys.

    I must confess that I haven't been dropping in here as much as I used to because I was feeling like I was talking to myself. It's sad to see our little common room so inactive. We've had a good run over the last year and a half and with a little effort we can keep it going for who knows how long.

    Our new healthier eating habits feed our bodies, our exercise feeds our souls, but the common room feeds our inner geeks. So come on Ravenclaws - let's show our Ravenclaw spirit!!

    Hey guys! It's been an extremely busy weekend for me! I haven't even had time to log my food but I definitely need to do that right now! I like the challenges for this week and I can definitely improve on those.

    Hi guys!

    I agree with Azsuzi, so food challenge stays the same and exercise challenge is to do something, anything!!

    Logging in today a tiny bit down, am pleased, but nowhere near my target for the month. Boo! I am going to kill this in October!!

    Hiya Ravenclaw. Am up today thanks to many bad choices over the weekend. That all stops today with a new attitude going into October! I've been lazy about my self-discipline in eating and exercising. My weight is up about 10 pounds from a year ago and my clothes are feeling tight again. I am trying to keep in mind my reasons for losing the weight in the first place (other than looking better!) - lower cholesterol and blood pressure, more energy and a healthy brain. This isn't supposed to be about vanity - it is supposed to be about my health. So here's to a healthy October! :drinker:

    Day 2 Oct - eating ok but don't know if I'll get in a full workout. I am, however, using the stairs instead of the elevator and have done some wall push-ups which I will count as exercise even though there's no cardio to log.

    Have a great day Ravenclaw!

    I am in for Healthy October too! I've put on weight again, after I tried so hard to lose it. Today I've done pretty well. Went to boot camp and ate reasonably healthy.
