    Emotional Challenge:

    This challenge started right about when I would normally give up a diet. I was a few weeks in, tired, hungry and feeling like I was doomed to fail but destined to keep trying. At the time I was involved on a few message boards on another website and only used MFP for the calorie counter mobile app. Anyways I got to chatting with this chickie named NewLife_11 and felt like I just clicked with her. She seemed to be in the same spot I was in emotionally and I really wanted to help her succeed. So I suggested she check out MFP as I felt it was a better calorie counter than the one on the website we were currently on. Next morning I wake up to a super excited message "Lynda, I've started something and I think it's gonna be big! Wanna be on my team?" Immediate answer : YES! Knew nothing about what she was planning and how it would work but I needed that enthusiasm so I was in! Now, 8 weeks later, I've lost 22lbs, made some super awesome friends, been inspired and hopefully was able to inspire a few of you.

    So, what does this challenge mean to me? It means I'm not in this alone. It means that I have the strength to succeed. It means I can challenge myself and make myself better through hard work. It means I am capable of change. It means I deserve to like not just my appearance but the person I am regardless of my looks. It means that I can do this. It means I will do this. It means I AM doing this.

    Is there anyone that has stood out? Yes. Without sounding like a cheesy-miss america-contestant let me say honestly that every single one of you have inspired me in one way or another. But above all else my girls Karie and Renu for the constant communication and support.

    Thank you to all of you for your support! I look forward to seeing everyone's progress as we move into the next challenge. :flowerforyou:

    Much love,
    Lynda

    Final SAHMU Weigh In

    Starting: 261
    Starting SAHMU: 241
    Week 8: 226.6
    Weekly +/- : -.9bs
    Total +/- : -34.4lbs!

    Goal: Eventually, 140lbs. Or thereabouts. IT's hard to say because I haven't been that small for years. And I've never been that weight and healthy... so we'll see. But my main goal is to keep going strong. So I focus on every lb lost and make it a goal to never gain it back. so with that I say goodbye to 34.4lbs! and thank you to all my fellow SAHMU-ers for helping me lose it!

    Apparently I can't read! Strength challenge was worth 4 point, so that means I scored 8 points total. Sweet!

    I miss posting in this team thread, so thought will post one..hehehe

    Took i day off from my exercises today, however i did go for a walk and did my usual cleaning and cooking stuffs.. Kids came in for the regular classes, so they did make me burn few cals..

    I just checked with my organiser of my last performance and he said it would take a month's time for my video to be ready... btw I have got one more performance on January 1st, so I have 3 months to lose weight and look better.. Also, I have applied to few other places for performance, i might get one during nov 1st week as it is our festival time..
