    9/19 SW- 162 lbs.
    GW by Halloween- 152 lbs.
    What Im willing to do to lose the weight? - start counting calories an watching what I eat and exercise
    What will my reward be when I reach my goal on Halloween?- A new pair of jeans
    What will I do differently in this challenge then other challenges tried before?- I've never done a challenge before but this one is really fun. I'm listening to a cd in the car (during a long drive to work) on how our thoughts become things. I am trying hard to stay positive and I'm enjoying recording my food.

    I'm a little late for Monday check-in, but my weight that day was 271, so a 4lb loss. Yay! :)
    I only did about 30 squats, but I have been using my Wii Fit and boxing a lot more.
    This sounds like a great challenge to kick me into gear...

    GW by Halloween- 250 (25 lb pumpkin)
    What I'm willing to do to lose the weight? - walk more, use my Wii Fit, cut back on chocolate! and DRINK MORE WATER
    What will my reward be when I reach my goal on Halloween?- losing 25lbs will be very rewarding -just to fit into my pants!- but maybe I'll get a new shirt too.
    What will I do differently in this challenge than other challenges tried before?- This is my first challenge. =)

    Hey, how is everyone doing?
    I have been having a good week so far, logging in daily and trying to stay within my calories plus exercising at least 20 min everyday (30DS) Monday was my day off work so I did the shred and then went for a run, Tuesday and Wednesday I did the shred in the morning before work and as of today, I'm done with the shred and about to go running for a bit :-) hope to see some good results next week!

    Have a good Thursday everyone!
