    WOO! I love a challenge. I NEED a challenge. FIVE pounds.
    Totally going to do this. I'm restarting TurboFire today. Plus, the help of my handy dandy treadmill. :) Good luck, everybody!

    I'm going to try to lose 10 lbs by Turkey Day. I know 1-2 lbs per week is a healthy weight loss, but I'm hoping to get in a good week or two for 3 lbs each week. :)

    I'm going a little easy on my mini goal and will say 4lbs by Nov 23rd (149lbs). I'm having surgery next Tues and cannot work out for 2 weeks after it, so I know my loss will slow down a bit.

    I gain a pound but I will not let that discourage me! I think I know the cause, it's because when I am at work I am unable to eat my lunch on time and eat my healthy snacks..So, I am starving half to death by the time I get to eat...I think that can make your metabolism go hay wire?! Not sure but that's my guess...Or water weight hahaha.............But I feel really really good....I will weigh in on Monday..............oh Monday be kinder to me................

    I hope you all are doing great this Wednesday morning......

    Oh how weird our bodies are. Yes, when your body thinks it is being starved it goes into freak out mode and holds on to fat stores. According to guru Tony Horton, he tells in his guides for his programs that when you embark on a cleaner eating path your body WILL freak out and attempt to hold on to the fat. However, it will eventually get used to it and realize that you're feeding the body properly and let go of the extra fat.
    I have a really hard time eating every 2-3 hrs due to my job. However, I will tell you that when I manage a mini meal every 2-3 hrs, the weight is more compliant in coming off.
    I am finding night time so difficult. some nights I work until 9PM. THAT Is when those mini meals would come in handy because I get home and my appetite is voracious and causes me to eat things before my brain registers that my body has been fed. OY! It's such a wicked thing.

    I LOVE that you are not letting that pound discourage you. My weight jumped 3.5 pounds over night (even menstrual cycle?) but that has given me greater determination with working out. Now, to get my bad habits under control.

    Thank you for forming this group. This type of communication and accountability is just what I needed.

    Okay, weighed in today for a loss of 2.5 lbs. That's a total of 5.6 lbs for the mini challenge. My goal was 10 lbs. I'm 50% there!!! I still have 4.4 lbs to lose. That's doable in two weeks. It'll be close :)
