Hey everyone just dropping by I had my lil bro take my before pics yesterday other than that happy WL EVERYONE!!0 -
Down to 269.8 based on the scale Monday. So that's a 1% weight loss.
Considering that I had surgery last week, I'll take it. I want to work out a little, but I am scared that I will push it just a little too far to fast, so I am walking right now. But I want to do more.
I'm hoping that everyone is having a safe, happy healthy week.

Hi Ladies...I'm new to this but willing to give it my best. I love the accountability, as I desperately need it. I've been able to lose the same 30-40 pounds for years now. When I make this goal, the real work begins in getting past that 250ish area. But one thing at a time. I'm going to be very conservative in my goal and any extra will be great. I need to train myself to do it right so that this is the final attempt to get my body back.

I love how you set your Nov-Dec goal low in anticipation of your holiday struggles
Maybe I should've done that too. Great job on your success so far!Good morning ladies!! I'm so glad to see that many others have joined this challenge. I don't have the time to personally welcome you all, but I'm glad that you have decided to take this journey with us!
I am SO SO SO SO SO glad to post my results for the past week. My recap is below:
SW (before this challenge started): 327
SW of this challenge: 302
Goal weights:
August 23rd - 292
September - 282
October - 272
November - 262
December - 260 - Lord knows I will struggle around the holidays!
*drum roll*
And my CW as of 07.30.2012 is 294.6!! That's down almost 8 pounds in a week and 3 days!!
I credit my success to the fast that my husband and I were on where we ate an ABUNDANCE of fruits and vegetables over the past week. I still ate at least 1300 calories a day, but it was mainly fruits, veggies, and whole grain items. Apparently my system likes it We went back to normal eating on Saturday and Sunday, but everything in moderation of course with no weight gain. I'm excited, and looking forward to giving my system a good 'cleanse' like that once a month!0 -

Hi all! I'm in for the challenge
My name is Jessica and I live in Texas. Right now I would like to lose about 5-7 pounds but am more interested in maintaining my weight until Christmas.
My starting weight is 120 and I weighed 139 when I gave birth to my daughter almost 2 years ago. I'd like to get down to a goal weight of 115 and then see what happens from there. I could use the motivation to stay on my grind and I'm looking forward to doing the same for you all!
Feel free to add me

I haven't decided if I want to go all the way to 140.. I've never been that light so I'm not sure how I would look. I do love my curves and my big hips so I'll probably stop at 150. We'll see.
I think this challenge is very doable!!! I'm very excited for all of us!!!0 -
