    Up until 2 days ago when I replied to the H4H Group....my comment also referred to being a lazy slug! As of Monday morning, I've jumped out of bed (instead of rolling back over); but on my sneakers and grabbed by water bottle. It's exactly 35 minute walk to my local Dunkin Donuts. By that time, my water bottle is empty. I order a $.99 fresh brewed iced tea with lemon; fill it back up and walk 35 minutes back home. Jump in the shower and start the day!

    You can do it. From what EVERYONE says, you need to throw in the exercise on top of healthy eating to make this weight loss thing happen. So, get up and do it!!!!

    I don't really weigh-in.
    i'm currently a very tight size 12 and by Halloween I would love to be a size 10 or a size 8.

    I think sizes or measurements is a great way to measure instead of pounds! Great idea

    Good for you!! I tend to be a nighttime walker, but I need to find a good route like that.

    I'm aiming to lose 10-15 lbs. I will settle for less if I am able to tone up and turn it to muscle. Currently at 162.

    Update: I just "mapquested" my walk; and it's actually 1.77 miles one way. So, I'm getting 3.54 miles each morning. I also have a favorite diner that is 2.16 miles one way. So on the weekends, I'll be walking to the diner instead of driving! And, yes, I only eat healthy at the diner ... usually eggbeaters scrambled or eggbeater omelettes. They sometimes have fresh fruit ... so liking my healthy choices!!!

    First week and I am down 8lbs. I'm a little scared that went to quickly,but I have been exercising almost everyday and wasn't doing much other than work before.I am currently at 185 and I am hoping to be down to 160 by Halloweeen. That really shouldn't be a problem , that's only about 1lb a week.

    Nice job! it can be ind of weird that first surge lost when our bodies first realize that we might actually be asking them to move again. Don't sweat it if a little of that comes back as you settle into a routine,. It will all balance out. Just keep moving toward your goal!

    I love that this challenge is on MFP :D
    I started on Thursday, so a bit late, but I'm in!

    SW - 178lbs
    GW - 165lbs

    So that's 13lbs by Halloween. Seems like an appropriate number! Will weigh in on Thursday :D Good luck everyone! I've blogged about my goals in more detail, you can find on my profile.

    So 15 lbs it looks like for me. Woohoo! Can't wait to see how this goes. :D

    7/15 = 294
    8/08= 287.4
    6.6 lbs down so far in this challenge! 27.4 more to go by Halloween!
  • Hmm this sounds like a good idea, and kind of got me excited. Is this healthy though? To put a date on weight loss? It's a journey, not a destination. But oh well.....just go with it, right.

    What I did is look at it with a realistic goal. A healthy loss.
