Reminders:
* Be sure to post your pictures and stats on Monday
* A November challenge will be offered hopefully this weekend and I'm taking suggestions/feedback
* Awards will be posted on Tuesday for Week 4 and for overall inches, weight lost so you still have one last chance to make the list if you haven't already!0 -
I had my strength test at physical therapy since today marks 1 month of going. I'm very sad to report he made me book 8 more sessions. I have a follow up with the Ortho tomorrow. :grumble:0
-
I really enjoy the challenge for the support - I like seeing the recipes, hearing the motivational songs, etc. Wonder if we could share our favorite websites, books, etc? I'm always looking for new ideas0
-
Hi! I really like the looks of this. I'm trying not to concentrate on the scale so I would love to join. Is there room for November?0
-
Hi ladies. I have lots of snow and trees down in my yard. We do not have power so I will not be updating the spread sheet anytime soon.
I think its safe to say that living off of crap since nothing is open the sodium has killed any loss I've had. My fingers are bright red and swollen.0 -
Hey all! First--Nicholina, I pray your power comes back on quickly!!! Hopefully you've got lots of water to help with the sodium (or at least snow you can boil?!).
I never did share my favorite recipe last weekend, and I thought today seemed just as good as any Instead of a specific recipe though, I just wanted to share one of my favorite site FULL of yummy recipes - Gina's Skinny Recipes at http://www.skinnytaste.com/ ... I haven't tried a single thing my whole family didn't love! That includes picky 4-yr-old and non-dieting two-cheeseburgers at a time hubby. A few of my faves are the Asian Turkey Meatballs, Turkey Enchiladas, and I made the Meringue Ghosts for Halloween that everyone loved.
Hope everyone is having a great last weekend of this challenge--can't wait to see how far we've all come!0 -
I did my final weigh in and measurements tonight since I had the time ... no time tomorrow night with 3 kiddos and trick or treating. Here's the link to my blog ... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ecmcnamee/view/30-days-without-a-scale-1642310

I do not know if I did my measurements correctly so I will have to adjust for November. I am doing research and figuring it out! But I stayed consistent with how I measured this month... Very pleased to have lost that 1/2 inch in the waist and a inch in the hips. I didn't lose a whole lot, but I expected that because I don't lose inches that quickly at all.0 -
I hope the picture comes out... hm

In the meantime, here are the stats:
Starting
Weight: 162.8 lbs
Bust: 36 in
Waist: 28 in
Hips: 38.75 in
Thigh: 22.5 in
Calf: 14.1 in
Bicep: 10.5 in
Total inches: 149.85

Calf: 13.75 in
Bicep: 10.5 in
Total Inches: 147.25
Weight Lost: 0.4 lbs
Inches Lost: 2.6 in0 -
Overall, we started with 60 people and ended up with 9 of us who reported final weights. Of those 9 of us, we lost 12.1 lbs! (It should be noted that several of us GAINED weight yet lost inches...but considering our specific goals of gaining muscle mass and decreasing body fat, this WAS a victory as well!)
Challenges will resume again in 2012...let's spend this time remaining in 2011 to focus on family and our individual goals during the hectic holiday season. I may offer weekly challenge on Mondays if there is a strong enough interest.
Here are the winners for the last week:

Great job and thanks for your inspiration this month!0 -
Due to the snowstorm we got on Friday night. (10/28) 12.5 inches of heavy, wet snow, we lost power and did not regain it until last night about 6pm. I will do my ending measurements tonight and do my darndest to get some before and after pictures on here.
Thanks Cass for leading this challenge. I appreciate it greatly, and as always am inspired by you tremendously.
For the rest of you, keep on keeping on!

I'm sad about this. I really loved the challenges. I still cant get on the spread sheet since we dont have power at home and our phone lines are still down at work.
Such is life. The snow storm killed my loss. I know its sodium but its still not nice.
I'll be counting the days until January, while working on my physical therapy and trying to eat as clean as I can. FSIL gave me a book all about it the last time she was here. I also think I'll try my hardest to limit my animal product. I'm not sure how that will go at first but I hope to limit it to 1-2 servings a day.0 -
thank you for the challenge....sorry i dropped out...to much to do and computer on the fritz ==working off the iphone and working 70+ hours a week...I cant wait to see what you dream up for 2012...have a great and healthy holiday season.....
thanks again
