    I hope I didn't make things too easy. I know where I have slacked off so I thought others may have had issues as well! Have a great day! Be back after work!!!

    Good Friday morning to everyone!!! :)

    Jen, Weiged-in today @ 258 (which is actually a 3 lbs loss!! YAY!). And my measurements Bust 46.5/Waist 44.5/Hips 52

    I love the week one Challenges!! I do okay logging my food...and i am very honest...i log EVERYTHING! :D The water is one of my issues!! I did manage to get 2 days this week where i drank all 8 cups!! And using the 1 liter water bottle seems to be working! I started working out with my sister, who has quite a bit of weight she wants/needs to lose, so getting the workouts in should be easy enough!! I need to think on the "getting out of the comfort zone" challenge.

    The bonus challenge: My two weaknesses....CHOCOLATE and Diet Mt Dew!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to try to go the entire week one w/o consuming either!!!

    So excited about the OCT Challenge!!! Look forward to making amazing progress with you all!!

    I have always been told your waist is where your natural indent is our would be. I would say line up with your belly button but I know for me after my surg my belly button is not in line with my waist. And for your hips I was told you line up with your hip socket. This is the info we were given at a nutrition course on base so if any one knows better please let me know also. I hope this helps

    Love the weekly challenges ideas, Jenn! great job on compiling the tips, especially the water one! I always find it hard to drink enough water, and the 1 litre bottle will definitely be a good motivator.

    Looking forward to an outstanding October!

    Those are definitely some things I need to work! Especially exercise and giving up soda! I weighed in today at 238.2. I don't plan to do measurements. I don't know if you are doing goals, but my goal for the end of October is 228.

    I'd like to join this challenge, if I may? I feel I need a boost to get back into my good habits and keep going. I'm feeling like my routine is getting stale; I'm loosing my 'oomph' and have just been maintaining instead of losing again. :) My start weight is 179. (As of this morning) If you need more info, let me know! :)

    Good morning Ladies and Gents~

    My weigh in is 175, seems I'm maintaining. I was bad in food choices this past week, I was hoping to be a little lower but it's okay, I've started running again and I may be converting fat to muscle, who knows, long as I am not gaining.

    I wanted to join the other October challenge too, however, they want pics and are doing the 30 Day Shred, I know I cannot commit to doing a DVD daily. I am going to buy it later today and do it at least 2-3 days a week, I am running every other day, so this will be a good filler for the off - run day.

    I'm looking forward to this, it's my first challenge and there appears to be a good group of folks on this thread. Anyone who wants to friend me feel free to do so. Good luck everyone and big Thanks to Jen for organizing this challenge!

    My stats are: starting weight 175, bust 44 waist 41 hips 45 My October Goal is to get of the 170's, I'll push myself to lose 10lbs, so Goal Weight Halloween morning will be 165.
