    I weighed 334lbs at the beginning of the challenge back in June. My goal was to weigh 315 by today. I passed that goal last month and updated it to 305 by today. And guess what!! I DID IT!! :D I dropped 29lbs since June!

    Yea !! That's great...good for you.

    I ended the Labor day challenge 17 lbs. down. I'll take it. Not quite where I wanted to be, but I still think it's great. According to my trainers, I probably ate more fruit than I should have ( too many carbs. too much sugar etc. ) So now that summer is over, and the farmers market is sporting apples and squash...guess I'll buy more squash. I love it anyhow, so it's not really a challenge. I went back to work after being off all summer ( cook in a school cafeteria ) and the ladies were so nice to me and gave me great comments on my loss since they last saw me. It really made me feel wonderful. :drinker: :blushing:

    So here we are off to a New Year's Challenge-- what a great gift to ourselves... Health :drinker:

    Thanks Ace for putting up with us. :bigsmile:

    What day of the week are we weighing in? I was in more then one challenge and got confused.

    I believe Sundays was the norm. I weigh in on Tuesdays because that's when I always have. I'm the last to post until Sundays hit again :laugh: But I get to catch up on everyones business. So I believe what ever works for you is fine.

    craft338 your pictures are beautiful :love:

    Nikki - Welcome :flowerforyou:

    It's the weekend....yea....don't over do the food :noway: ...drink all your calories:laugh: :laugh: just kidding. Everything in moderation !

    You can weigh in whenever you'd like, because some people like to weigh-in on certain days!

    Good morning everyone. I weighed in today...just couldn't wait till Tuesday.

    Down 2 # this week :bigsmile: :drinker: 191 !! So close to hitting the 80's ( great decade by the way ):laugh: I had a nice NSV on Saturday. I needed some jeans to go out on the motorcycle and my pair from spring looked ridiculous, so I reached into the back of the closet and found a pair from 10 yrs. ago...yes I kept them, they were almost new :noway: and they fit....even a little baggy in the rear area :tongue: ... Yesterday I did a walk/ jog/ kinda c2k5 workout. My pinched nerve is still bothering me, but I can't wait forever, it's been a month .. so Tuesday I'll do day 2 of that.

    Maureen, tell us all about the cruise...I'm sure you had a great time.

    Ladylord 29 # is fantastic. Way to melt it off. You're my hero.

    Have a great week !

    Here is my blog about our cruise. It was so much fun! We are already talking about when and where we will go again-this time without the kids. There are some pictures too.

    well, it's a new week and I lost 5 pounds!! I did show a gain last week of 4 (the cruise was worth it!) and it is all gone along with another pound! It was hard this week though, getting into the groove.

    I hope everyone else had a wonderful week too!

    Weigh in today 249.0, not happy, hopefully dietician can help me get off the plateau.

    Maureen, well done !! I looked at your blog....it really looked like a great time. :bigsmile: So worth all the effort and saving....we all deserve our vacations. Life is too short not to spoil ourselves. That was my whole motto this year " It's all about me". I still have a few months to come up with a new slogan for next year. :noway:

    Krevelle, let us know what the dietician suggests. I'd love to hear what he/she has to say. Plateau's are horrible for everyone.

    My weigh in is Tuesday, so I'll keep peeking in on everyone's progress in the meantime.

    Oh BTW... I had a great NSV. I was photographing my daughter's Rugby game yesterday from the sidelines. ( she's away at college and I haven't seen her in 3 weeks ) When the play stopped, she yelled " Hey Momma.... looking good !! " and gave me a thumbs up :blushing: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: How awesome is that ??? I was on cloud nine for the rest of the day.

    That's a great NSV! I love when my kids/family notice the changes and make positive comments. In fact, I love when my kids notice that I'm there!

    nadda....no loss for me, but no gain either :bigsmile: . I ate a ton of carbs this week. Mostly bread. I had gotten some rolls from a local bakery, and I swear every time I walked by them I ate one. :laugh: Luckily they are now gone from the house, my control is back in order.

    Great on the water, still good on the exercise. I just need to move the scale. Have a great week ! Our thread seems to be shrinking :sad: I hope everyone is still doing well and just to busy to be posting.
