    My goals are to stay under my calorie count everyday and get at least 30 min of cardio in each day. Including the weekends. Normally I do a brisk walk, Mondays I do Zumba and Bellydance, Wednesdays I do Hula Hooping. (haven't for the past 3 weeks) lets hope I get there today!

    My plan:
    Lift weights 4 days a week
    Light Cardio 5 days a week (walking the dog, go for a hike- no marathon sessions like I used to do on the treadmill)

    Cut back on sugar/starch, increase fat (protein has always been pretty steady- 100-120g a day).

    I would like to lose 20 lbs by Oct 31st but am definitely OK with losing inches/gaining muscle in lieu of pounds :)

  • I need to make healthy living (REGULAR exercise, thoughtful eating) a way of life, not just something I do until I start seeing significant results. At first, I freaked out about not being able to occasionally indulge, but then I realized most of my "indulgences" could be offset by extra exercise.

    45 minutes at the gym (probably cardio) at least three times a week
    30 minute walks at home three times a week
    Careful accounting of what I eat
    Wine/alcohol only on weekends (until 09/05, when I give it up for a month in support of a friend who's quitting smoking)
    Drink water instead of soda
    Think before eating

    Let's all stay focused, and think ahead to how great it's going to feel when we reach our Halloween goal!
  • Basically my plan is
    - Continue tracking everything I eat the day before, since that's been working for me
    - Continue to keep constantly moving at work - extra walking = extra calories burned
    - Add some accountability to my progress (that's where this challenge comes in!)
    - Keep reminding myself that food is not a reward - I can have whatever I like so long as I keep it reasonable
    - Weigh only once a week and resist the urge to weigh every day
    - Plan another 10 week challenge to lose another 15-20 by New Years Day (180 is my ideal goal for New Years Day, though if I make it to 200 by then and that's all, I'll be beyond happy as I will have still lost 60 pounds this year)

    Goals
    - Lose 19 pounds by Halloween (Just under 2 pounds per week)
    - Find a Halloween costume to fit into and work towards for Halloween 2014 and hang it in my closet as a reminder
    - Be at or under 200 by Halloween
    - To find ways other than food to reward myself
