    I'm restarting (again). I've done this several times now... make a little progress - fall off the bandwagon, put it all back on. I'm back up to 148 - with an end goal of 130. This month, I'm hoping to make it 146. (I'm 5'4 btw).

    I'm in but going for more than that! Set your goal higher, you can do it! 2.5 or 3! If you haven't been counting recently 5 pounds should be a cinch!

    I'm 5' 7.5"
    164.5 lbs.

    I'll shoot for 159! total lose of 5.5 pounds....yikes!!!! I think I can!

    I'm in! I'm 5'2.5" and 152.8 lbs. By 10/25 I would like to be at 149 (or less). The 140s have been eluding me, so if i can reach the them by the 25th, that would be great!!

    time for weighing in Ladies..................... so how did you all do over the weekend???

    I tried drinking a full glass of water with half a lemon squeezed in it before lunch and dinner to decrease my appetite and it seems to work..... down to 159.8. I hope its not water weigh and it lasts........ keeping my finger crossed.

    Cant wait to hear how my group is doing, pretty much accountibility is the only thing keeping me going.......

    Only down by half a pound... but - at this point I'll take what I can get... will up my activities this week, barring any issues with my shoulder acting up (have a shoulder injury that's basically there for life).

    I will be weighing in later this week, but I will let you know! The scale has been running my life lately and not helping me, so I have put it up for a week. So I think I will weigh in on Friday (11 days after my last weigh-in). I have not been doing well at all! I have had the worse cravings for junk lately! Ugh I have to get out of this rut or I will never see my goal!

    You all are doing great! We will make it!

    Good job everyone!

    selkieghost...a half pound is still good. It's still a loss and at least you're a bit closer to your goal! You'll make it.

    spellbinder...great job! Good luck with the rest of the week.

    k...we all hit bad patches. I know I have. Don't beat yourself up or get discouraged. Just start fresh. You can do it!

    Good luck to all for a good week.

    hope you are all doing well this week!!

    I really hope my weight loss there is not some water weight........ I had been eating around 1400 cals almost all from healthy choices and have exercised reasonably through out (3-4 days) and tried drinking 100oz of water......... had one slice of pizza on wed. and soda only twice this week............other than that, NO Junk food (no cakes, rolls, pastries, chips) since Saturday!

    Not so sure how I'll fare @ weigh. Figures....it's my TOM. So i'm sure you all know how the weight fluctuates during that time. Not to mention, for me personally, I'm like a human garbage disosal during this time. I'm just constantly hungry. Doing what i can to ignore my stomach since I am eating. Trying to drink extra water to silence some of those pangs!! UGH!!!!

    Hope the rest of you are having a good week! Good luck during the weekend!

    tomorrow's the big weigh in!! I'm hoping for the best...hard to say because we had chicken from the chicken stand and it's saltier than what I cook...all I can say is that I tried...now off to sleep & reporting in the a.m. :D

    I'm 5' 7.5"
    original start weight Oct. 10th 168.5
    start weight for challenge Oct. 14th 164.5
    hit a 9 day plateau but it broke!
    Oct. 25th 162.5 - total loss in 2 weeks and a day 6 pounds

    I did it! I got the 2 pounds and no more, even though I wish it were :D But hey, it's a guessing game with our bodies...eventually they do catch up to us after we've done the work ;)
