    I'm game for more challenges. Especially after my race when I'll have more gym time. Until then it's all running!!! Very happy with every other week as well, less to remember that way!

    Our computer is finally in the land of the living again as of Friday. YAY!!!!!!

    I LOVE this group and it has challenged me and kept me a float many times. But I'm needing to weed some things out and I'm not going to be hopping in here as much.

    I have a challenge for myself and I'm planning on trying my best to follow it and hopefully get some of these pounds to fall off. They MUST, I tell ya!! :grumble:

    So anyway, I will be around, hopefully doing my p90x until I'm a mighty heap smaller than I am now. :laugh: You can drop in to see my progress on my page if you care to. :tongue:

    All my love Ladies!!!!!! Thanks for being a GREAT friend to me. :heart:

    I put a pound on, back in the 140's :(

    I get stuck every 10lbs, so this was a planned gain, still rubbish though. I decided to eat loads for a few weeks then start fresh, it may backfire though haha

    Sorry to hear you're stuck, BJ... that stinks! Wish I had some tricks up myself for ya... just keep plugging away I guess!

    I wanted to update that I hit my 151st mile tonight!!! WOOHOO!!! That feels good to finish this challenge. I'll keep tracking that while I also start the next H2O challenge. This should be good....

    Oh, and not sure if I put it here, but I'm down another pound... I like looking at that spreadsheet. It's strange to see that I've lost 6.4 pounds since July 4!!! I didn't think I'd been losing that much, but it sure is fun to see it! Maybe I'll lose another 5 by Halloween???? We shall see....

    Oh... I think I want to finish this Challange before I start another one. I'd rather have the next Challenge shorter than just drop off this one near the end. We have 2 weeks left! :frown: Can't we have the Halloween Challenge be just 8 weeks instead? ...Maybe I will just not do the Halloween Challenge.

    I just figured I'd do them both... but that's just me! Anyway... did my 5 miles today which was fine. Was supposed to get in a nice walk with a friend who's in from out of state, but her Grandma is taking a turn for the worse (which is why she's in town) so she didn't want to leave her bed. Instead I just did my normal stuff, which wasn't as much fun, but it's alright. My sinuses are acting up and it sucks, but I'll be ok. Hubby's home for a bit, so we should have some nice family time before he leaves again.

    So, my total running for the challenge as of today is 156 miles!!!! Yay!

    5 more miles and feeling better... still have a head full of snot (stupid ragweed) but it's ok. Singing this morning was crazy, I felt like Melissa Etheridge... all raspy and stuff!!!! I couldn't hear well either since I was clogged. Oh well! (165 miles and counting!)

    Guys I'm so sorry I've been MIA! Hubby and I have been very busy the last couple of days...we have been looking at houses! :D We currently rent and are ready to lay some roots down. Fingers crossed this all works out for us; we haven't even gotten started on scary stuff and we're already stressing. :laugh:

    I finished the shred, which was one of my goals for this challenge. Only lost one inch :( Is was from the dreaded baby bulge though, so its a good one inch.

    Ran an 8 mile tempo run today and it went pretty well. Weighed in for what will be my final weigh in for this challenge at 133.6, so from the beginning weight of 141.4, I've lost 7.8 pounds! Not bad for being so close to my goal and over 10 weeks I'm really happy with that.

    You guys are awesome, and I'm looking forward to getting into that Halloween challenge. If not for the weight loss, at least for the community of support you all are. Of course, losing another 5-10 pounds wouldn't hurt either!!!!! I still have more miles to log for the week, but I'm happy with my progress... and so happy to still be here!

    :happy: Christine - have fun with the house hunting! Don't get all emotional, use your head!

    I'm stuck in a weight rut!! I think they call it a plateau... but that is never what it feels like!! :sad:

    Oh well... I'll get through it!

    Great job on the loss, Nikki! :drinker:

    See you all on the other site!
