    Hi guys, back in again for october only lost the 1lb last month, the weight seems to be staying steady, i think as i am so close to my goal weight these last few pounds dont want to budge, but i have noticed a difference in clothes i bought just recently they are getting too big!! :smile:

    have been quite busy recently in preparing for half marathon's, i done my first one last sunday with what i think was an incredible time of 1hr 51min :happy: , i was expecting to be around 2hours so was really pleased i was under. i have another one next sunday, its funny because it will be all the 10's...... 10th october (10) 2010 and starting at 10:10am!!!!

    good luck to everybody for the october goals

    Morning ladies (and gentleman!) How are we all doing with our first week of goals? I am proud to say that I have not caved and I have been successfully sugar free since Friday. It is a yucky rainy day here, which makes things the most challenging for me, as all I want to do is curl up with a cup of coffee and a snack and a book! I never feel like working out when it rains!

    I had a very exciting thing happen over the weekend. I used to wear this one pair of black Reebok workout pants allllll the time. They were a size XL, and I just loved them because I could throw them on and run to the store, go for a walk, or lounge comfortably in them. I had bought them at Costco about 3 years ago. That same day, I also bought a pink pair. But, the pink ones were awesome and almost sold out, and I had to buy a medium in those. I got them home and when I tried them on, of course they were way too small. I put them in my drawer with the vow that I would lose weight and be in them one day. Well, the black pair I out-shrank back in the spring and could no longer wear, and the pink ones were still way too tight. This weekend we got some chilly weather, and I pulled them out (tags still on them!) and slipped them on. Not only do they fit, but they're too big!! I'm wearing them anyway today. I am gonna strut my butt around in my too big pants till I feel I got the $14 out of them that I spent, LOL.

    I also discovered that out of the probably 15 pairs of jeans that I have hanging in my closet from various stages of fatness and thinness, almost every darn pair is too big! A blessing and a curse since I am broke AND hate jean shopping!

    Jessica that is AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work!!!:flowerforyou:

    As for the challenge for me I fluncked alreay but not giving up. This is the 2nd day of no fried foods for me. I started over yesterday......:-) No more starting over, but I am marking the days I did not comply. NO more this month. It is so automatic I totally forgot about my vow. I had an option of baked too. On here I have been working in the fried foods but I know I need to eliminate the fried foods to almost never and I am starting this month. This will help me tremendously.

    My weekend didn't go that well food-wise. My husband & I went out for his birthday dinner Saturday night so I made sure to get on the treadmill for a couple hundred more calories. Unfortunately, I went a little overboard. Instead of 1460 calories, I ate closer to 1700. Then yesterday I had a baptism party to attend and ate some high calorie foods there. I'm up 2 pounds as of this morning, but back on track today. I WILL hit my goal by month's end. Who know - maybe I'll hit my 6 lb. loss sooner and keep on going. That would rock. :)

    so on friday i drank the last glass of wine in house and pledged no more alcohol for the 7days...and i did succeed and exercised all weekend too...I did fab on my diary and still lost nothing...my hubby said dont worry soon it will fly off..but still it bummed me out. I am still motivated though and will lose the 7lbs this month. I heard on a forum about HIIT (high intensity interval training) which you can do on a treadmill or with any exercise ...its 3 mins regular walking and 2 mins really fast walking repeated 5 times so its 20 mins...someone said Dr. Oz said it will blast through belly fat. So I am going to start doing it tonite! Wish me luck!
