    Challenge Goal - Lose baby weight and keep it off through the holidays!

    Started challenge - 10/8/09 - 205 (according to my 10/2/09 weigh in)
    10/9/09 - 203.8
    10/16/09 - 202.8
    10/23/09 - 200.6
    10/30/09 - 198.6

    :sad: Damn Halloween candy (it's been gone since my weigh-in though)! And I had a celebratory eat-out the night before weigh-in so I'm sure that didn't help. Hopefully I'll be back on track this week! GO ME! :)

    Not very excited I stayed the same...but I have to look at the positive - I didn't gain anything and I am still down a pound and a half since this time last month. Anything will do! Holiday travels pretty much started for me and my husband two weekends ago...(we live on the opposite side of the state than our families...so we always have to travel to all family/friend functions! BOOOO...)...so it's getting harder and harder. I have a feeling this week's weigh in is not going to be good. Keeping my fingers crossed. Need to work harder!!! I CAN DO IT!:ohwell:

    I really need to put things into high gear if I'm going to make 15 by xmas
    I still have 13 to go in 5 weeks.
    Both baby and I are suffering a horrible cold so things have been slow.

    Stayed the same as last week. Can't seem to find time to workout consistently this past week. I am fighting a cold as well. So tired of coughing!! Maybe I could record coughing as burning calories!!:laugh:

    I don't really have a Christmas goal but want to lose 8 pounds before New Year's Eve. That will bring me to the lowest weight that I was this year. Then I have 19 more pounds to go after that next year.

    Monday, November 23rd - Weigh In

    Starting Weight: 193
    Starting Group Weight: 185
    Last Week: 176
    Current Weight: 176
    X-Mas Goal: 173
    Pounds to X-Mas Goal: 3

    Same weight as last week. I just have to keep on trekking. Hopefully I will make it to my goal by Christmas, if not really close. This could be because I haven't been the greatest on my calories the last few days. Just a little over which may keep me from losing. So, now I need to do better on the calories and work out diligently this week. (Well, with a little break for thanksgiving dinner).

    I am doing well. I did my weekly Wednesday weigh in (I post on Mondays here to be consistent) and I am down 1lb. So I only have 2 more to go until Christmas. That is definitely feasible in a month. :smile:

    I am glad you are feeling a bit better. I hope you feel completely better soon!
