    **This week**

    Starting weight for challenge: 207.4
    Current weight: 201.6
    Goal weight for challenge: 204 (I reached goal last week!)
    Total difference since challenge started: - 5.8

    Also, I started the challenge with 240 minutes of exercise this month as my goal. Last week, I changed it to 480 because I'd reached the 240 goal. I'm currently sitting at 545 minutes completed!! So my new goal is 700 minutes. :-)

    I'll be making a November challenge soon!
  • Weigh in Friday :(

    Starting weight for challenge: 134.5 (9/30)
    Last week weight: 131.5 (10/14)
    Current weight: 132
    Goal weight for challenge: 129.5
    Total difference since challenge started: -2.5lbs

    So I gained .5 lbs. I have been super "good" so I do't know what's up. Hopefully it has something to do with the 30 DS and I will lose it again. I am getting discouraged, honestly, as I feel like I am working very hard and have been eating not only under my calories, but eating HEALTHY foods. Oh well...

    Starting weight for challenge: 229.4
    Current weight: 225.8
    Goal weight for challenge: < 220
    Total difference since challenge started: 3.6

    Self-Challenge: Do at least 3 resistance training, 2 interval cardio training, and 3 steady state cardio workouts per week.
    Update: I did 2 real resistance training days and one of just pull-ups. 2 interval cardio. And managed 4-5 cardio days. Not a great week. But It'll have to do.

    Starting weight for challenge: 229.4
    Current weight: 224
    Goal weight for challenge: < 220
    Total difference since challenge started: 5.4

    Not looking like I'm going to hit the 220 goal this month. But I will get there.

    Self-Challenge: Do at least 3 resistance training, 2 interval cardio training, and 3 steady state cardio workouts per week.
    Update: Ugh... not a good week for these. I went on vacation out of State. I managed 1 resistance training session, and 5 cardio. Oh, and I'm changing my self-challenge to get rid of interval cardio. I decided recently that I don't need to hate exercise as much as I hate interval cardio.

  • I had a half pound gain this week eerrrrrr....

    I believe I did everything the same as I did the week that I lost 6 pounds, so I don't understand that! Oh well--going to keep doing the right thing and it will catch up, I know!

    Starting weight for challenge: 232
    Current weight: 224.6
    Goal weight for challenge: 220.4
    Total difference since challenge started: -5.6 lbs. Walked 72.9 miles during these six weeks. Goal was 100 miles.

    I had gotten down to 224.6 at the end of the third week and not sure why I was up after that. I'm sure it had to do with sodium due to so many restaurant meals on one of my trips. My weight loss is so slow because of meds and my health issues. I take what I can get but sure wish it was going along a little faster. Oh, well. I know all my hard work will pay off eventually!! Thanks for a great challenge, ladies!! :heart:
