@abowersgirl and @quiltingjaine thanks for the comments on my pup. He's so young! He is not in pain now, but apparently will have a short and painful life. The vet suggested we would probably opt to put him down before he turns 3 because of his pain level. They did give us the option of hip replacement surgery, but it is…

OSW: 212 (Sept 2017) FGW: 170 10/5: 194.6 10/6: 194 - I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while. I've been exercising outdoors all summer, but yesterday it rained. It actually felt good to work out inside! A change is good sometimes. 10/7: 194.6 - I'm feeling a little bloated today so not surprised there…

Me: 6* LNS: 5 Streak: 1 day Last night I was victorious over LNS! I owe it to this challenge, I was thinking about having to type here that LNS got the best of me again. My goal today is no mindless snacking, at any time of the day.

@AJB1014 thank you! Progress is happening. You are right. I'm logging and exercising more. :)

Me: 5 LNS: 5* Streak: 0 Me and LNS are tied again. Last night was bad. Like full on bingeing on cookies and other crap while I prepped my kids lunches for the next day. That seems to be my big trigger for LNS. I am not a morning person at all, otherwise I would try to just make their lunches in the morning when I am not…

ME: 4* LNS: 3 Streak: 4 days I debated whether to give myself the "win" for last night, as I did a little bit of nibbling while prepping the kids' lunches. However, it was way less than usual, and really was just a few bites, so I'm giving it to myself. Yeah, so long LNS. I'm in the lead!

Me: 3* LNS: 3 Streak: 3 days Yeah! Me and late night snacking are tied! The hard and fast rule I've set about not eating after 8 pm is helping.

Good morning! I also have a double goal of exercising 7x during this challenge, so I'm keeping track of that too.

ME: 1* LNS: 3 Oh yeah, had a good night last night! Finally exerted some control over LNS. Having a hard and fast cut off time (8 pm) helps me.

Good morning all, hope I'm doing this right, it's my first day. I haven't weighed in a while, but surprisingly my weight was right where I thought it would be. I guess I know my body pretty well! My goals for these next 10 days is to 1) avoid late night snacking, 2) exercise at least 7 days, and 3) lose 2 pounds. Exercise…

Hi. I'm late to the party but this is my main slip up. I tend to snack while I am prepping my kids' lunches for the next day- which I usually do right before bed (930-10). I am going to set the bar of not eating after 8 pm. Since there have been only 3 days in October I can sadly say that I am 0 for 3. But hoping this…

Hello everyone- I'm new here and haven't tried something like this- but I LOVE the idea of just taking it 10 days at a time. That seems so much more doable for me. I am in the habit of signing up for months long challenges, but then I fall off the wagon because it feels like I have so much time to reach my goal. So- I'm in…

Hi all- I weighed in last week on Friday but I couldn't bring myself to record my weight, I've really fallen off the wagon and have had several binge eating episodes. It's just painful to show up for a challenge and have to log a higher weight than when I started, it's humiliating. I guess that is why many people don't…

Hey all- I've been a bit MIA. I was on vacation all last week so I indulged a bit too much in things like cocktails and chips, and also missed last week's weigh in as we were out camping. I'm back in action though and even got on the scale this morning- it's not as bad as I was expecting. I won't be meeting my goal this…

Hello everyone! I'm feeling pretty disappointed- I am up 1.4 pounds this week. :( I'm frustrated with my lack of progress and my inability to focus on my goals. I have exercised this week 3x and logged all my food. I am eating more than my calorie budget and I know that's the reason, but I keep bingeing and I'm worried I…

Good morning! Today is Friday and so I had another crack at weighing in since my Monday weight was so inflated. My weight did come down to 191 (from 192.6 on Monday), but I'm still disappointed because when I signed up for this challenge I was at 190. Sometimes weight loss feels like two steps forward, one step back. I…

Some people have ice cream sundaes occasionally for lunch. Tracking our food is a mechanism that can help us be aware of our choices. Not everyone logging their food is subscribing to some kind of "clean eating" plan. For me, I am really focused on trying to be more mindful about what I eat. I'm also trying to work on…

I'm in the NW too (Oregon) and sad to say that I think this is the new normal for August. :( We do a big camping trip every year to the high Cascades on Labor Day weekend, and the last 2 years we canceled due to the smoke being unbearable. I know what you mean about how August used to be the best month to get out and…

Sweet, I erased my weight from Monday which I didn't like anyway! ;) Will try again on Friday.
