Week 2, "H20 Challenge" 20 Pounds By Halloween.

Thanks for the welcome all! I'm excited about this challenge because it will have me pushing for my next goal of being under 200 by the New Year. (I can't even remember the last time I was under 200 *sigh*)

I hit a plateau a few weeks ago and got on the Wii balance board yesterday, and if it stays the same on weigh in day on Sunday, I will be posting an awesome weight loss. I really hope I am not jynxing myself by putting it out there!!

Yesterday was not a good day. Very stressful and I won't bore you with details, but the one positive thing was that I could feel myself wanting to eat to make me feel better. As I was walking through the grocery store I could feel the pull of the chip aisle and the chocolate was singing my name in such a beautiful voice and the bakery seemed to smell even sweeter than the last time I was there. As I pulled up my britches (because they have gotten too big to wear but I refuse to buy new stuff yet) I thought to myself, I said: "Self...you have worked your *kitten* off to get where you are and you will NOT let the evil sweets devil convince you that just one piece will be all right" And I kept on walking. Stress sucks but being overweight sucks even more!!! So...score 1 for me and 0 for emotional eating!! Woot!

Love the idea of having to post if you eat something you aren't supposed to, but proud to report that I don't have to yet!!

Was perusing one of my favorite websites for Halloween costumes and found a few I'm fond of...

http://www.yandy.com/Sexy-Harlequin-Costume.php - Love the colors. Would just have to figure out what hubby would dress up as. A lion, maybe?

http://www.yandy.com/Sexy-Adult-Elmo-Costume.php - :laugh: I think this is just too adorable!

http://www.yandy.com/Shopping-products-prod_670.asp - Apparently I have a thing for costumes that relate to childhood this year.

http://www.yandy.com/Fantasy-Butterfly.php - Really liking this one. And it would be an easy costume for hubby; all he'd have to do is carry a fly swatter around all night. Or put it on a string and he can wear it like a necklace!

I love the Sexy Harlequin and Butterfly one!! Too cute! I need to seriously start shopping for ideas!

And welcome to all the wonderful new members of the group!! We are gonna show that scale who's boss for sure!! What are we up to now? Like 105? Woot woot!! Rock on! ^.^

As for posting things that you shouldn't be eating, on my end, nothing is off limits EXCEPT soda, I cut it out April 10th, 2010 and haven't looked back! Otherwise with me, all things in moderation Keep up the good work to everyone losing or not, remember if you aren't losing, take a step back and check out your sodium, that little bugger adds to the scale when you have too much of it, if that's under control, maybe play around with your calories, maybe you aren't eating any exercise calories, it couldn't hurt to have a few extra for a day (without going over your total) or maybe you could be eating a bit too much, try lowering it by 200 (unless you are already close to 1200), all else fails, change up your exercise..maybe go for a longer walk, push harder on some aerobics, there's always a way to find something to help budge the scale

I love the Harlequin one and he could always be a Harlequin court jester or clown. That'd be so cool...My fav part is that it's unique or at least IMO.

My LO is going as Dorothy this year, so I'm going to be the Cowardly Lion. I tried convincing my hubs to go as the Tin Man but still haven't succeeded lol

I am going to do my weigh in on friday~:)


Good luck to all!!

My weigh in was tuesday starting weight 158 tuesdays weight in 154.8 woohoo!!

Thats a briliant loss

I just poured an entire jug of sweet tea down the sink... that was sooo hard LOL
So now onto working my butt off!

Awesome! Way to take control, sweetie! I totally had to dump a whole bag of cookies in the trash too. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! heheh

I had to purge the house of all chocolate candies @_@, there were so many but they taunted me day in and day out. They had to go!!

I started at 355 at the beginning of the week now I'm 353.

Just weighed myself and am at 260lbs 4oz, that's 2lbs 12oz down from last week and 13.12/20 for the challenge. Only about 10 pounds to go to meet my first mini goal and my updated H20 goal. Off to Arizona to visit family and the fair for the weekend. Hopefully all this weeks hard work won't be undone, but I know temptation will be there. And i won't have internet access to read any support from H20. Send good vibes my way anyways please.

Hey ALL!!!

Your group sounds like a great idea!!! My main motivation for this upcoming year is to get in shape for our wedding next summer. However, I also want to get in shape once and for all! I'm tired of being overweight and not able to fit into certain clothes. I just want to AT LEAST be the size that I was in high school and a heck of a lot healthier than I am today. I often worry about becoming a mom (not that I'm pregnant) and being this incredibly out of shape person who doesn't want to get into the pool to swim with her child because she is too embarrassed. So....I am ready to make a life long lasting change! Hopefully, just hopefully I can stick to it this time. I have always tried dieting or a lifestyle change, but I have never been that successful so if you have any good, motivational tips then feel free to share

Starting Weight: 220lbs.
Age: 27 y.o. female
Goal Weight: 160lbs.

I just went to a birthday at an all you can eat :O

I went crazy, I have had pizza, pasta, cake.

I am not going to worry too much, gonna just try adding a bit more exercise in for the next few days.

I'm at 150 this week (but a little too lazy to find last week's post to find out where I was last time I checked in...)

Hello everyone!

So I didn't do too bad over the weekend. I am at 294.6. I have another 12 or so to go. I think! Keep up the good work everyone!
