    Hi ladies!
    Forget to post on 10/18/12 somehow. Anywho I weighed in at 214 pounds--down two pounds from last week and 5 pounds away from my November goal. I added in a much needed rest day this week. I am hoping to continue with my average 10 pound a month weight loss. We'll see. Keep pushing ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Quick check-in 10/11/12 ! I weighed in at 216 pounds today down two pounds from last week. Keep pushing ladies--you can do it!!!!!!!!!!
    Today's weigh-in 10/4/12 = 218 pounds WooHoo! Down four pounds from last week and at my original goal for October! Yay!
    I also walked a total of 116 miles in the month of September--I set a personal goal of 90 miles.
    Keep pushing ladies!
    Greetings ladies!

    Here for my weigh in today 9/27/12.
    I am holding steady at 222 pounds this week--no loss, no gain (last week I lost a record 5 pounds to reach 222 pounds).
    No complaints here considering TOM, and my indulgence in soul food (collards with smoked turkey, blackeyed peas with smoked turkey, and cornbread) all week. Happy to not have gained anything and to be 5 pounds below my September goal!
    WooHoo. ONEderland I'm still coming for you :laugh:

    Keep pushing ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm in! I started my journey about a month ago with 110 pounds to lose. I am 5'4".

    A little poem I found online today called "Motivation". Thought I would share!

    M-make short term goals
    O-out with the negative thoughts
    T-think of why you want it
    I-imagine how you will feel
    V-visualize the future you
    A-acknowledge your successes
    T-treat yourself with respect
    I-investigate new ideas and foods
    O-observe your healthy lifestyle
    N-never give up and never give in

    This is very inspirational!!! I'm gonna "borrow" it and post it in my cubie at work. :flowerforyou:
  • TyrpleThyck,
    I love the poem. I may have to borrow it also.
    Thanks , Peace and Blessings to you and all of the members. We can do this. We may get of track and the focus is just not where it should be at times, but Thank God each day brings new mercies. Another chance to get it right.

    Greetings!
    Hope everything is going well with you ladies ;) My weigh in was yesterday (Thanksgiving day). I came in at 202 pounds--down three pounds after stalling at 205 for two weigh ins in a row. Hopefully I will be in Onederland for my next weigh in. Keep pushing. We only have one month left in this challenge.
    Greetings ladies!

    Weighing in for 11/8/12 at 205 pounds, down four pounds from last week again WooHoo! I can almost taste Onederland which will also represent the halfway point to my ultimate goal weight of 145 pounds!

    Keep pushing ladies! We can do this!
    Greetings ladies--today is 11/1/12 and I am here for my weekly check in. I weighed in at 209. Down four pounds from last week currently at my November goal! I hope to see Onderland by the end of the month if Thanksgiving doesn't derail me.
    Stay strong and take care ladies!
    Hi ladies!

    Today is 10/25/12--I weighed in at 213 pounds--down one pound from last week--four pounds away from my November goal. Had a few sluggish days this week but trying to get back on track.

    How is your journey going??????????
    Keep pushing ladies!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm in! I started my journey about a month ago with 110 pounds to lose. I am 5'4".

    Hi ladies! I'm checking in with my pre- and post-Thanksgiving weigh-ins:
    11/20 - 287.2
    11/23 - 289.4
    Only a 2.2 lbs weight gain, though I suspect this has more to do with TOTM than Thanksgiving... TMI lol!

    Hey Ladies,

    I completely fell off the Jingle train. I lost my Father earlier this month and everything went down hill from there. I am motivated now more than ever to get healthy. The last real conversation we had was about getting my weight under control and watch him die of obesity related illnesses has been mind blowing.

    So I am going to try to reach the first two goals that I set for myself at the beginning of the challenge.

    I am glad to know that you have joined us again. I can only imagine what you are feeling. Be encouraged that God will comfort and provide peace. As you continue on the journey you have more motivation to work hard and accomplish your goal. YOU CAN AND WILL DO IT. WE MUST BELIEVE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!
  • Update: Currently 172 from starting weight of 206. I will not make my goal of 155 by the end of the chanallenge but I will continue. I had my set backs and went through weeks of not losing or losing a small amount to put back on. I think I have finally got the formula, mind set and dedtermination to reach my goal weight and keep it off through continued diet and exericise. This is a lifestyle change not a diet. So happy I'm doing this for me.

    I think Im gonna have to start posting inches lost, because this is ridiculous!!! Since Septemer I've only lost 2.5lbs!? Really!? So frustrating. Dont know what Im doing wrong. I just worked out EVERY SINGLE DAY for 30 days in November AND NOTHING. SMDH. If it hadnt been for the few inches I've lost I dont know what I would do. I really dont. But honestly quitting is not an option, so I guess that this rant is about as bad as it would get.lol. Anyways thanx for letting me vent Pals. December goal is out the window, Placed new goal under the last revised December goal, and Ive changed it 3x. :ohwell: Gonna work on my new strategy,
