    whoever created this group is awesome because i woke up this morning feeling like this is my chance to start a new and start over. my goal for October is 10 lbs not 5 , it is possible with the way that i workout out and what i am going to be eating. in all i want to lose 10 lbs this month, in December, and in January in hopes for my birthday.

    all the best wishes and luck to everyone ! :)
    p.s feel free to add me as a friend i'm lonely and have no friends except for 2 lol

    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!

    Can't modify my original post so today's weigh-in is...
