    I've been away for a whole week! Away from MFP; Away from thinking about the REAL value of all the food I ate; Away from exercising like i should. I REFUSE to even step on the scale. Here's to a succesful weekend to all of us! T.G.I.F.

    O.K - I need to know what my fellow MFPs are up to (translation - Your weight loss progress)! I know that there are many victories not measured by the almight scale, but this challenge is about what the scale says. I'm taking roll call...

    Bellieff - 12.8 lbs
    Josie - 7.8 lbs
    CMG - 6.4 lbs
    Jillica - 3 lbs

    Who else?

    Chime in! Let us know! You have everything to LOSE by reporting in;-)
    Your loss could MOTIVATE someone,
    your lack of loss could HELP someone who is also struggling not feel like they are the only one,
    or you could BOOST your own commitment to your weight loss goals by holding yourself more accountable!

    I've had a very long and busy week. Weekend in Saint Louis with my hubby, my daughter's 6th birthday, concerts at the state fair. I have made a lot of unhealthy food choices, but have continued working out daily, so we will see what the scale says tomorrow. I am back on track today. No sugar, low carbs, clean and healthy eating:)
    I'm so glad to hear that everyone is meeting their goals. Its time for me to start logging more time on the treadmill and getting serious about my weight loss.

    Glad to have you join our group even though it is late , we are striving for 25lbs by Oct. 1st. But any weight loss is a good one by then. I know it is a busy time of the year for a lot of us, mostly surrounded by family gatherings etc., that always seem to be around food. I was away for a few days last weekend at a family Reunion or over 70 of us and then to a birthday party. So I was up a few pounds instead of down more. So I have lost a couple of those pounds so far & am struggling to get back to my goal for Oct. It is terribly hot here this afternoon & night so no exercise here. We have not bothered putting the window airconditioners in as it has not been the normal hot weather this summer. I did do canning this morning, 16 jars of apple sauce so I did work out preparing that & burning a few calories doing it. lol. Lets do this & keep on track. Wishing you all great weight loss weeks ahead!

    2 camping trips and the county fair have led me dreading the scale...I will weigh-in again on Sept 3rd (skipping this weeks weigh-in). I really need to get myself back into working out, jogging and making healthier food choices. I hope you're all doing well....and i look forward to hearing some more success stories from all of you :)

    This week was great loss for me at 2.8 lbs. Not really sure why because i wasnt very strict with what i ate. I got on my ellipitical a few times but other than that i didnt do any exercise. I basically just kept moving. I stayed busy getting out of the house because the heat in here is unbearable.

    I hit my first goal of 25 lbs this week! yea!

    NOW IS THE TIME!!!

    One Month left until October 1st! If you haven't been able to get pumped for this 25lb challenge yet, it is now CRUNCH TIME! Good luck to all. Step up your game. Exercise an extra hour this week, run that extra mile, clean your house with a little more vigor!

    Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to YOU! The YOU you want to be, the YOU you know you can be!

    GO GET 'EM!

    you guys are doing great....i've lost 10.2lbs since starting this challenge. I've had many obstacles this summer (multiple camping trips, loss of motivation) so I'm not exactly where i hoped yo be by now....but 10lbs is still amazing!! so i'll take that as oppesed to putting weigh back on any day :) keep up the grerat work!!
