    Managed to complete 12 miles so far, but only 40 burpees so far. Those burpees are sooo hard! Water is easily accomplished :)

    Omgee the burpees. I sort of gave up last week and tried to give myself some time off so that I could focus on myself. I have decided to also put up the scales and to not get them out again until the 31st. I know that I won't be at a 10 lb lost come Monday, I may not have lost any weight, but I can't WAIT to continue this onto November! I will lose 10 lbs each for November and December so that I can be at my goal weight before the New Year's! :)

    My NSV for this month: The other day when I got out of the shower and went to dry off, my towel went all the way around my body for the first time in my adult life - and it wasn't an over-sized towel! :drinker:

    that is an awesome NSV, and one that I strive toward!

    totally fell off the wagon with all the challenges. I cannot wait for grad school to be over so that i can have some of my life back. Currently trying to find someone to work evenings for me so that I can start to focus some on myself. To all those out there that have had a great month...congrats!

    I am not going to make 10 pounds but I have been down every week...(don't jinx it...still have my last weigh in tomorrow)

    My NSV for the month, I am finally going to have to give some clothes away because they are too big.

    An NSV for my spouse who is on this site too...I can wrap my arms all the way around him.

    Congrats! Also, your fur baby in your avatar is beautiful! I love orange tabs :)

    A NSV for this month is wearing the shirt I've worn today. It's a Cullen Vampire Baseball League shirt I picked up at a TwiCon convention back in June '09. This is the first time I've ever worn it because it was a little tight back then. It's a quarter sleeve shirt that's white with purple sleeves, so the white would show my gut when I first bought it. Now, the gut is gone :)

    I will be posting a November 10 lb challenge, but it will probably not be posted until some time this weekend. I'll be sure to post a link to it here, though!

    Tomorrow is weigh in day!! Everyone ready?!?! I don't have a column for Oct 31, just for tomorrow, so feel free to make tomorrow your final weigh in OR if you want to weigh in again on Monday, just put it in the 10-28 column.

    No more mini-challenges for October since Monday is the last day. Great job, everyone!!!

    I did horribly....I missed a few days of the daily challenges then stopped. Maybe I'll try again next month.

    I am thankful for my health!! I just realized this week how much becoming healthy has really improved my life! My whole family (4 kids and my husband) managed to get the flu this week, and even after cleaning-up after and taking care of everyone, I still managed to escape it. There's no other way for me to explain that other than to attribute it to my new healthy self and the prayers of my friends. That would never have happened 2 years ago, so there's my new NSV!!! :-D

    I am resigning from the October Challenge. I know it's only the last week but I need to set priorites right now. I have completely let myself go. Treats have been all around me and I fell back into my old habits. It is not fair to all of you to keep going with the flow on the challenge when all of you are working so hard and I haven't been. I need to take those baby steps all over again to get where I was before. The eating habits, the logging, then exercising, then back to the challenge when I am on track again.

    I will still be around and checking out the message boards and keeping up with all of you inspirational people. I am so proud at how far you have all come and I want to wish you good luck on the next challenge and I hope to see you on another when I am ready.

    :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :drinker: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    @tiffy: You are doing great anyways!! :) But its sounds like a great plan to help yourself get to where you want to be!! I know you can do it!!! :D

    Well guys, I'm sorry for being gone from the forum for a while. It has been a busy month at work. Exhausting, lol.

    Anyways...I DID IT!! I made this months 10lbs challenge!! Exactly 10lbs today!! Haha. It's fantastic!! I have also made my first holiday weight goal for Halloween!! So, this is what it feels like to reach a goal...it feels awesome!! LMAO!! Oh yeah, and my nsv for this week is that I have noticed that ALL my clothes make me look gangsta haha. Unfortunately I can't afford new clothes now, so I'ma roll gangsta for a while :P. AND I have been told by a few family members that they see how different I look and that I am looking great! I'm not good at taking compliments at all, so I kind of just smile and change the subject haha. But it still made me feel great. :)

    I may not have posted anything, but I have noticed that you all have been doing so great!! Keep it up guys :D

    @tiffy: Aww thanks!! :) I do what I can ;P. You are doing great!! Just don't be too hard on yourself. Slip-ups happen but it's not like you can't fix it. It just may need a little extra time working it off, but it'll work out. Plus its not bad to give yourself a break every now and then :P. You've come so far already, you will have no problems and you will make your goals in no time!! :D

    Well, October was a really slow month for me...I only dropped 3# ....I think that my body is just resting. I am going to have to give it a kick start and get it burning again.

    BTW, I have a picture of me from one year ago as my profile.....my current pictures are in my profile. This reminds me that I will never go back to that again and inspires me to get to my goal.

    Burpees suck. That is all.

    Only managed 80 total, walking I did great and have done 21 miles of it this week. Water as usual was a breeze. I'm hoping to lose a lb this week *crosses fingers for more*
