    Ohhh! Yes, Michael is so lovely! I've seen him a couple of times in concert and he never disappoints! I'm proud of the BC boy (I'm originally a BC girl). I'm proud of my 2 degrees of separation from him LOL - I know someone who used to work on his dad's fishing boat back when Michael did too. He said they used to make fun of little Michael (he was late teens I think?) for singing ALL THE TIME!!! :laugh: I'd love to meet him one day! He's so funny and down to earth. *swoon* LOL :love:

    I'm taking my 2 teen daughters, who are also mad for him. I have told them 'He's mine!'. They don't listen!!!!

    I'll try this challenge. I lost 10 lbs in 5 weeks so 5 lbs in a month shouldnt be difficult. (I hope)

    Hi, I'm just starting out, but count me in. SW=175, GW by end of month 170!
  • I'm in. I'm 3 lbs away from normal "BMI" so I'm really hoping this October challenge will get me there. I've been stuck on this plateau for a month now. Would really love to be below 120 and see the teens again.

    Wow so many pages already! So here is a little history, I just want to put it out there to remind myself:

    Started my first weight loss challenge in August

    Goal was to lose 5lbs in a month

    Aug.1 - 157
    Aug. 8 - 154.3
    Aug. 15 - 153.2
    Aug.22 - 151.7
    Aug. 27 - 147.5

    So goal completed and weight lost = 9.5lbs

    Next challenge September lose 5lbs

    Sept.1 - 147.5
    Sept. 6 - 145.5
    Sept. 13 - 144.8
    Sept. 18 - 142.4
    Sept. 26 - 142

    Goal completed and weight lost = 5.5lbs

    Now on to October! Somehow I have lost weight between Sept.26 and today I think it might be an error but I have had a rough few weeks and the loss has makes me happy and focused so I am recording it...lol.

    October challenge to lose 5lbs.

    Oct. 2 - 140.9 (.9 away from my happy weight :) Another 10lbs and I will be at my ultimate goal )

    I also wanted to say that I have lost 4 inches around my waist since august and 3 around my hips. I am also back into the same pants I wore before my 2nd daughter.

    That's great motivation for the rest of us too! At least for me, since I lose slow, and gain quick, the same 5 lbs.

    That's so great! Congrats! That's like, a whole new body!! I was excited when I just lost 1" from waist and 1" from hips! :laugh:

    I want to join. I only have 5-6 pounds to go to hit my goal weight. I lost 4 in September, so this should be doable since I didn't do a great job of working out during September. My original goal was for our Halloween party, so this should be perfect.

  • I really need to start running again. I have stopped exercising almost completely. I move around a lot more than I used to but I need to actually set time aside everyday to exercise.

    You guys need to hold me accountable! Ask me on Monday how things went on the treadmill!

    i completely understand where you're coming from since i use to able to run for 1hr and more. ran 10ks a few times now i can't even do it for a good 2min - i love running since it just that i concentrate on when compared to aerobics

    so since monday i cut my sleep short no matter how late i go to bed and on the treadmill starting all over again and kicking myself while i'm at it

    Let's beat the treadmill again
