    Congratulations!!! No wonder - you've made great progress according to your ticker. All that positive reinforcement should give you motivation to continue. Keep up the good work!

    Hi everyone--- i just wanted to share that I ran the army 10 miler today here in Washington, DC-- YEA ME! I had not been doing a lot of running...mostly walking and now the gym on the elliptical.... I wanted to not hurt myself and finish strong. I felt great at the end and even had enough energy to sprint to the finish line...It was an awesome experience... Only thing better would have been if my husband could have been there with me:sad: Maybe next year... and think how much faster I'll be after I lose some of this weight... ALSO-- I earned 1400 extra calories today...so tonight I treated my kids to dinner at a local irish pub..and myself to a great beer and a nice meal.... AND--- I totally didnt feel guilty!!!! OK, I'm starting to get a little stiff now - but I can not complain! GO THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE PEOPLE... !!!!!!! We can do it-- ONE DAY AT A TIME:drinker:

    My mom told me yesterday I looked thinner - that was great to hear, even though I only lost 1 lb!

    I did pretty good this week, biggest thing I've noticed is that when I do cheat (eat bad carbs) I feel so sluggish - truly yucko. It's a good motivator to keep me going with eating right. Also, I'm starting to look for ways to be active. I enjoy walking on an inside track in the mornings with my iPod after the kids go to school,but also this week I've hiked with CubScouts and played soccer in a parents vs kids game. Good calorie burning and fun too! In the past I haven't seen my ticker move and have gotten frustrated, hoping I see some more movement!

    ok guys....again not a good weekend. I had a bachelorette party last weekend, and let me tell you....we definitely drank A LOT :drinker: But I didn't feel like i ate a ton, exept for the hungover cheeseburger and fries last night, which is probably why i gained 6 lbs in 3 days!!:explode: :sad:

    I'm going to work at it better this week, we don't have anything going on for a couple weeks so i'm hoping to get back to the 150 range, then try and get to 147 for halloween. I just wish i could break this streak of doing good, then messing up and eating/drinking bad. It's sooo hard sometimes, but yet, at the same time i know i can do it.
    Anyways,
    Current Weight 156
    Starting Thanksgiving Challenge Weight 150
    Goal 144

So, by Thanksgiving I want to lose 10 pounds and have a developed a more committed exercise plan. There! I said it! You all are witnesses to my commitment! So here I go!!!:bigsmile:

    I'm so excited! I'm finally seeing a difference! YAY! I've lost 7 lbs and an inch off my waist and hips! Yipee! I haven't been successful the last few times I've tried to lose weight in the past and started to give up, but decided to give it another try. So this is a big deal, and motivator for me!

    Look at that ticker go! Woo Hoo!!!:tongue:
