    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! :)

    Finally an update! I didn't weigh myself on the 22nd because it was such a bad binging of 1 and a half week! I'm going on a calorie restriction for 2 days and fasting (36hrs) tomorrow to undo the damage. Eatig 4,000 calories in a day definitely impacted my bowel movements :((

    Then today I measured and Im back to my lowest fluctuating weight for the month!

    I would like to join ... but may not find this board next week ... I don't seem to get the hang of how to keep going with a group.

    Here's what you do:

    GW: (Goal weight for the month) 252

    Just for fun: What is your favorite Pumpkin recipe that will help reduce temptations for non healthy treats?

    I've found it best to just stay away from all baked goods cause they set me off no matter how healthy the treat might be.

    I hit my 5-pound mark this week. Now to just still be there at the end of the month!

    So I am torn at what my next move is... My significant other has decided that he wants to strat trying to have kids, while I am over the moon excited about this I am also a little nervous as well. Not just because having a child is a new chapter and a lot of responsibily but more so for the fact that I am two pounds shy of hitting my goal of 20 pounds lost. My overall goal is to drop 60 pounds to get back to a more healthy me. However, I know many people who have gained a lot of weight with their first child and am a little nervous because of this. I do like to exercise on a regular basis but will be a little leary about exercising once I do get pregnant. Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!! :smile:
