    Count me in, of course I have a wedding to go to on Saturday, How hard will that be Appetizers and alcohol whats not good about that? hehe Actually Im going to do very well, I wont be staying for the whole thing anyway , its a day time wedding so that makes it easier.

    Answers about how the challenge works is ? If im right I think it just means we keep each other motivated, eat healthy and stay active to try to keep weight coming off we are here for each other if ones having a bad day or if you have questions on anything, we all communicate with with one another and cheer each other on week by week with pounds lost.

    If im wrong on this thread please let me know, but on others this is how the majority has been :) I guess if there is something you want to throw in as your challenge like " not eating candy corn " (dragonfly81) that can be part of your challenge along with losing weight :)

    :glasses: I'll join too.
    Goal for today - Oct. 8th (whew- long time...8 days!) My down fall is to eat when I am home alone and at night after supper when I guess I am bored ( I just have a nasty habit of wanting ice cream afterwards or before bed).

    So my goal will be to confront these 2 downfalls -
    1) "Home Alone" eating -Change the patern-- Don't purposefully eat in private - Eat only when hungry, make sure to eat if it has been 3-4 hours since my last meal
    2) No snacks after 7:00pm (only water/0 cal beverages).

    My goals are going to be:

    Eat every 3 hours.
    Exercise at least 3 times a week, gym or running.
    Walk everyday at least 30 minutes.
    Do not eat over my allotted calories.

    and forgive myself for not being perfect. :)

    I would like to join. Now that I am back into a routine with the kids in school and it's not so hectic anymore, I think I can get back into exercising again.

    My goals are:

    Exercise at least 3 times a week
    Limit my wine to 1 glass in the evening (tough one)
    Stay within my calories

    good luck everyone :smile:

    I would love to join! I've been stuck in the mid 190's all month, and my goal is to be somewhere in the mid 180 range by Halloween. I'm trying to fit in my prom dress so I can go as 'zombie prom queen' to this club/concert my sister is taking me to. :laugh:

    What exactly is the challenge? Is it a weekly thing.... or a self challenge? I don't know how the monthly challenges work.
