Loss-tober Fest Challenge (CLOSED GROUP)

No changes in w eight yet! (sorry this is so late!) But yesterday I became a licensed zumba instructor, so did zumba for nearly 7 hours. My body is beat, and my muscles need a day or so to hardcore rest. But I will stay under my calories and definitely drink the 8 glasses of water everyday! And as soon as I am feeling stronger, I will for sure do hard work outs 5 days in a row!

Ahhh, the months almost a third over already!

Anyone watching this baseball!

I didn't go run last night because baseball got over with late (it started at 3 and we are not on the east coast our games are usually 2.5 hours long, Plenty of daylight left to run) It wen until almost 8 last night and it was dark.

The last time I went running and it was dark I fell and skinned my knee. So looks like I will be doing some overtime today! However I am pretty sure the game got my heart rate to a crazy level because well if you watched the Rangers game you know!

Anyway happy Tuesday yall! Have great day!

Hey all, will weigh in and update on life tomorrow morning. It's been a crazy week with starting a new job and all but I don't work Fridays so I'll be able to catch up!

I'll be weighing in tomorrow... Happy Friday everyone!

I gained one pound I cannot shake this slide I am in, I have been traveling a lot late and I have such a hard time when I cannot plan my meals.

sorry you are having a hard time Ken!!! since you are training a lot are you getting enough calories in?

Well, I only lost 0.6lbs last week. But.....I'm not going to get down about that because I joined a gym last week, my eating was right on the money...lots of water...met all my goals I set, and my muscles are extremely sore today from the workouts so I know I am temporarily retaining water to repair my muscles. Plus... the best news of all---just this week alone...total body I lost 5 inches!!! And 17 inches total body in the last 4 weeks!! So what the heck have I got to complain about??? Not a damn thing! Have a great week everyone!!

So so great!!!!! No one knows your weight, but they can tell by your clothes and apprearance that you are losing weight so I think that's what's more motivating!!!

I'm down 2.2lbs this week! Already posted it on the spreadsheet for ya Shalimarmandy

Had one bad day eating... even went to McDonald's :O !! but maybe I should just call it one of these spike days I keep hearing about and not feel so damn guilty because it did not seem to do any harm on the scale at all Was afraid for half of the next day because I felt myself still craving some of those not so good foods from the day before, but pulled it back together quickly instead of going totally off the rails. That's a small victory in itself considering past experience....

I think there has only been one day this month where I have missed my water goals....some days I almost double it

Gym has remained consistent have not missed more than 2 days in one week yet, and if I have let myself miss two one was always on a Tuesday where I walk dogs for two hours anyways so still got in my exercise.....dare I say I am becoming addicted to the gym????? OMG!!! Tonight I had my first ever workout with a personal trainer. I thought I might die during the (felt like) 12 million mountain climbers she made me do!! But it was awesome to have someone pushing me beyond what I thought my limits were. Learned a few things and excited to keep going!

So, I may or may not make my 10lb goal this month....time will tell....however, regardless, I would call this month a success. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and you all have mine in return! Whatever our collective goals may be...we will all get there together

Here's to a great finish for October !! Let's go get it this week!!!
