    So I started back in February and I was on track, lost 23 lbs. I feel off the wagon and maintained my weight for a few months for the most part. I stopped my BC and gained 3 lbs instantly. Not that big of a deal. However, I've noticed that while I know I'm not skinny, I'm getting squishier since I've stopped working out. I'm back now and ready to go. My birthday is November 2nd and would love to hit the 140's permanently since I was only there for a short period of time.

    Just for fun: What is your favorite Pumpkin recipe that will help reduce temptations for non healthy treats? I don't have any, but pumpkin is my vice in the fall time and I could live off of everything pumpkin! Looking forward to seeing others.

    I'm stalking these posts for your pumpkin recipe ideas :P
    Though, I kinda like pumpkin coffee while it is seasonal if that counts.

    I'm going to try to lose 5 but I have doubts....this worked great for me over several months but as I'm in my "home stretch" my loss has slowed down to about a pound a week and I wonder if I'm able to lose 5 lbs in a month but I will try! :)

    What is your favourite Pumpkin recipe that will help reduce temptations for non healthy treats?
    I really don't eat Pumpkin-anything much, but if I had to think of an idea then maybe Pumpkin, butternut squash and carrot soup? A nice cup of that with meals would definitely fill you up and stop after meal snacking!
    Good luck everyone, and lets DO THIS

    My favorite pumpkin recipe will probably not be good for the challenge but I will probably indulge here & there. One box spice cake mix, one bag Enjoy Life Vegan Chocolate Chips, one 15 oz can of pumpkin. Blend all together and use a cookie scoop to drop mounds on a cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 for 10-12 minutes - the cookies will appear wet but are really just very moist and yummy!
