    Yes! This is exactly what I need... A goal that will challenge me and people to encourage/ push me! :) I have 24.5 lbs left to lose and it would be great to get 15 off by Thanksgiving!

    I knew it would be up because last thursday I went to disneyland and honestly I couldn't resist the goodies. Then saturday I had a "girls night" and ate a lot plus alcohol is the devil when your trying to loose weight. Then sunday I just gave up and ate some more so yeah...I'm dealing with the consequences.

    Yes weight, you can keep falling off. I don't mind, really! :wink: Pretty happy with my progress the last few weeks. Changing up my diet and getting in moderate (not crazy-hard) daily exercise seems like just what my body needed to get back on track.

    Hope everyone is having a good week! :flowerforyou:

    01/01/2009 Heaviest Weight 209
    03/01/2010 Started mfp 180
    08/18/2010……… 158.0 ………2 week mini goal 156
    08/25/2010........... 157.6 (-)
    09/01/2010........... 156.2 (-).......2 week mini goal 154
    09/08/2010........... Fell Off Wagon:sad:
    09/15/2010........... Gained over 10 pounds :blushing:
    09/22/2010............166.6 (+).......2 week min goal 164

    Took a three week hiatus from mfp. The truth is I fell off the wagon hard and gained over 10 pounds in just two weeks. Was too embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted with myself to face my friends on mfp until I righted my ship again. I’MMMM Back - Still 10 pounds heavier but back on the wagon to stay for a while (at least until Thanksgiving).

    My goal is to still to lose, now close to 20 pounds, by Turkey Day. We started a biggest loser contest at the school I work at, I begin a second try at an exercise program (p90x) next week and I have all of you out there to help me keep on track. Actually, I’ve been back on my exercise program and I’ve been watching my food intake already for a few days.

    Starting today I will start using my food/exercise log on mfp (like I did when I was successful). You will hear from me each week again. Good to see some of my old friends still here. Hey Dawn, Mande G. and all of you others........ I missed you all – Good to back.

    Had a good week I suppose. I wanted to fall off the bandwagon today but I held strong! I am having a huge sweet tooth lately and just want to eat sweets but I am trying to keep them at bay. I seem to be having problems of that I am not eating enough during the day and I have to many remaining calories at dinner/night. I need to work on spreading out my calories during the day better. That is my goal for the week along with exercising more. But the good news is that I can't fit into the jeans that I wore a few weeks ago! :o)

    Hi Stormy!

    I would guess that -most- of those 10 lbs are water weight and should fall off relatively quickly. I was off the wagon off and on all summer, bouncing back and forth from 170-175 (even up to 178, following my wisdom tooth surgery). In the last three weeks I've dropped 6 lbs like nothing. Just been eating right and getting in moderate daily exercise.

    Bumps in the road happen -- I'm just glad you're not letting it get the best of you! :flowerforyou: You know what you need to do to get where you want to be. :smile: We'll be right there with you along the way!
