    I second that motion. Sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm sure everyone would love to see all of us in our Halloween glory.

    I still dont have any costume ideas, Im mostly in it for the fact that my bday is the 29th and a band that Im friends with and a huge fan of has a cd release show the day after my bday.
    If I can go out on my bday and go to that show the day after with at least more confidence than I had when I joined than I be more than satisfied.

    Although Id LOVE to get into a size 9 by then. Single digit sizes? yes please.

    Ive been logging, but I havent been working out much if at all. I feel guilty as hell about it, too.
    Im hoping that considering I got into a size 10 a couple months into working out and dieting that I can be in a 9 by my bday if I step it up like...NOW.
    If now...size 9 by turkey day or bust! :laugh: :laugh:

    Gained another pound, pretty clearly not going to reach 200 pounds even by Halloween.

    Not really trying to lose weight right now. I'm lifting heavy, supplementing protein, doing cardio. Eating a 500 calorie a day deficit, so I should be losing a pound a week - but no, I'm gaining muscle mass and a little bit of weight. Now seeing my abs for the first time in about a quarter century.

    I'm happy with it though, I'm feeling great. Making excellent progress. When i started lifting a few months ago I loaded my dumbells up with 20 pounds, then 25, then I had to go buy more iron to get to 30, then 35, just bought iron again to get them to 40 and it's just enough, probably go 45 next week. It's way cool. Need to measure bodyfat % again. :laugh:

    waist :love: i can't believe it!!! i just read a bunch of articles of success stories on Fitness Mag and

    Hi Everyone:flowerforyou:

    I finally lost some weight after not moving for a month. I am down 2 pounds this week. Since I don't have much more to lose I've noticed what works for me is the 2 snacks in between the main meals and also doing the zig zag, so if I go over my calories one day I try to be under the next and so on. Its working for me. Hopefully it will keep on working, if not I will have to get more creative.

    Have a great day everyone.

    tanya...congrats on the 2 pound loss:flowerforyou: i agree with you in the fact that because we don't have much to go it's really going to come of slowly! i still have a number in my head as far as weight goes but i am also trying to focus on measurements. i think this will be a good way to put it all in perspective. i am taking the measurements about every 2nd or 3rd weigh in.

    i am trying to get motivated to go walk!!! i am just having a slow start to the day but am off so i will definitely get it in. hope everyone has a great day!!

    WOOOO!!! Go Tough Guy! :love: :flowerforyou:
    That's great you're adding weight and building muscle.
    Seeing some abs instead of weight loss is a pretty good trade??? :bigsmile:

    ok now a two pound GAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is very frustrating....

    does anyone else's weight fluctuate this much????????????

    i was looking at my log and it really seems to move up and down over and over then will move to another category and do the same ( such as hover around 144-146 then 142-144)

    just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this???

    amcclure,
    I've been having a similar issue, but I've been stuck in the 170s for what seems like forever. I lose a lb then nothing for a week or so, then maybe 2 lbs if I'm lucky, then nothing. I'm trying to step my cardio back up this week and see if I can finally break into the 160s. Over the whole month of September, I only lost 4 lbs. I'm shooting for 6 through October, so I'm adding 2 lbs to my previous goal. Maybe that will kick my butt into gear.

    New Halloween goal 165!! 7 more to go!!! :tongue:

    Hang in there, amcclure!! :drinker:

    I gained a pound this week. Amcclure, I am in the same boat as you. I either don't move, move a little or gain. Hopefully we'll loose more soon.
