    Add me. Starting at 249. I plan to get there by eating vegan and using my Wii fit. Simple as that.

    Hello all! Thanks for holding me accountable with the treadmill. I DID do it today, and I also took my nephew on a 2 mile walk around the park. The weather in Houston has been so wonderful. Mother Nature is apologizing for the long, hot months of summer.

    My eating was terrible over the weekend. Thank goodness I do not weigh in until Friday. Hopefully I can do enough good by then to make up for the bad.

    Monday morning check in. Yuck. I'm up one pound from the 1st. What's the deal? I've been eating very well. I think it's sodium. Who knows. I'll just have to keep on truckin'.

    Oct 1 SW 190.5
    Oct 4 wt 191.5
    Oct 31 goal wt 185.5

    Grrrrr.

    :drinker: Chug, chug, chug! (Water!!) You'll drop the sodium pound in no time.

    I am definitely in. Was 1lb away last month but if I can be that close then I am ready to try again until I succeed

    Good Job Amanda! Thats great, you did the treadmill AND went walking. If you keep this exercising up, you'll make up for this weekend. Keep it going...u can do it!

    I just started the site and began tracking my calories and success has been fantastic. I reached the goal for October but in the past have done the loss and not maintained it. So I am challenging myself now to keep the 5 pounds off even during the time of monthly bloating and chocolate cravings!!:laugh:

    So I usually weigh in on Mondays, but I was sick over the weekend and yesterday so I didn't work out and my eating was horrible! So, I'm giving myself a few days to recover and then I'll weigh in. . .maybe by Friday I'll be back on track.

    It's so great to see everyone's progress so far!

    Hey everyone. Well, I had a dissappointing weigh-in today. I'm actually up 0.2 lbs from last week. Went from 148.2 to 148.4. Stinks, but I def was half a$$ing it last week with no exercise. On the bright side, I just finished my 1st workout in over 2 months. I forgot what it felt like to bust out a sweat lol. Gonna try realllly hard to keep working out the rest of the week & hopefully will have a better weigh-in next week!

    Weighed in this morning to see I've dropped 1 pound :smile: i am very surprised because i wasnt expecting a loss this week, as my body's been losing for 2 weeks then maintaining for the next :laugh:

    I can't remember the last time I weighed 144lbs, probably about 3/4 years ago when i was 12ish lol..im so happy!!

    Here's to a great October ahead of us all :flowerforyou:

    Hooray!
    33casey>>I'm so happy to join you at 149!
    jz646>> It happens. But try not to get down. It might be a water issue.
    Congrats, bjshooter! Congrats, bree!
    I hope you're fully recovered soon, Tina. You're doing great!

    This was a hard week. I gained 1.5lbs mid-week when I was working out the hardest and drinking the most water. But it was only a temporary gain. The last few days, I've felt and low from school-stress and homesickness. I can't wait for fall break! Last weekend involved awesome pirate putt-putt though. Did you know a couple games of putt-putt burns lots of calories? I didn't! But I guess with all the walking, it makes sense.

    I'm off to class. Have a great day everyone!
