I would love to be a part of this challenge - except I am committed to doing 1 hour Zumba most Mondays and Thursdays until Jan 9th. (I bought a Groupon 20 lessons for $59 - super deal!) Could I skip challenge activities on these days?

I've been where you are right now. I was there when I was 17 and It's taken me a long time to figure out the self discipline. I still struggle with it but I've learned a lot in my 20 odd years of trying. Feel free to friend me for some motivation, encouragement and ideas. I have many strategies for helping with self…

Check out cleaneatingmag.com for great recipes and tips. Jillian Michaels Master Your Metabolism is basically clean eating. It explains why you want to eliminate preservatives and chemicals, and tells what you should eliminate and what you should eat. I've never following the eating plan, but information is good.

So last Friday I ballparked the 160 lbs, because I knew I'd gained, but hadn't got on the scale. I did the week of challenges. Had terrible eating day on Tues and Wed. (My eating is out of control right now and I'm hoping this challenge will help me. So this morning after having had popcorn last night before bed, my Wii…

Golden BC! But trying to move to Calgary AB. Anyone want to buy a house in a Ski Resort town?

I'm in this! Height 5'9" Current weight: 160 Current waist: 36 1/2 Current hips: 41" Current wrist: 6 1/2" Current forearm: 9 1/2"

Is this Challenge open to anyone? I'd love to join!

I can do this!

I'm really glad to see that others were successful this month as well. It was cool to see others do this along with me. I fell off the logging since last Thursday with many things getting in the way - but I'm sure I'm still at my goal. I couldn't weigh in this morning b/c my dad is here visiting and I just couldn't. So…

Well, my personal challenge is very hard. I've had a really hard time with eating and can't pinpoint why. I'm not sad or depressed. I'm not really busy and stressed, I've been keeping up with things pretty well and even really been proud to say NO to a few things to keep my life simple. I am waiting to see if I got a job…

Check out Jillian Micheals Master Your Metabolism book. It explains the reasons why you shouldn't have the processed stuff. It tells what the chemicals and preservatives do to you physically and emotionally. She explains what not to eat and the 10 power foods you should eat. Clean Eating Magazine is great too - they have a…

As of today I met my goal of 2 lbs lost. I'm less than when I began to backslide and gain. so I'm at my lowest weight since I can ever remember. But It's weird, I don't think my body looks as good. I had muscle tone and seemed slimmer at the hips. So less junk food eating now, more strength training, and no backsliding. My…

Very late Wednesday night and couldn't do the same as last night. I made the strangest dinner for my family just for fun - I found the recipe on Racheal Ray website. I told myself I could portion control but didn't. I wanted to skip excersize but I couldn't do it two days in a row. So I rode the bike harder than I ever…

It's very late Tuesday night and I haven't logged a thing. I'm choosing not to - not because I won't admit to something terrible I ate, but because I know I did good today and I am too tired to think. No official excersize today but It will balance out in the end. I'll do better tomorrow. Good night!!

Sunday Night Report! Here are last Sunday's challenger list: McHeather SW 157.6 GW 155.6 Personal goal: Excersize 30 min a day, log everything Myth4ever Personal goal: stay on track over weekends S2O12 Envy53 SW 223.5 GW 221.5 Personal goal: excersize 3-4 times a week Janna674 SW 137 GW 135 Person goal: increase water, cut…

I had started this challenge with a Saturday weigh in, but others had joined or reported their goals on Sunday. I'll only do group updates later Sundays so everyone has that much time to get their info in to me! I didn't lose or gain all week - still 157.6 this morning. But I did have a heavy dinner the night before. I've…

Lots of work today - lots of indulging today too. I went on a date with my husband and let myself order what I felt like having - and went over on calories. I was still at a deficit from maintenance so I'm not too worried. I was still very sore this morning so no strength workout but I did a long walk, and spent about 6…

Ouch! I finally got up early to workout and did 30 day Shred yesterday. I'm hurting today. Before my backslide I could do it without feeling it the next day. This is my reminder to stay consistent!

Morning Yoga and a walk in today - ideally I need to actually workout, but I'm working my way back up to that! Keep it up everyone! We all have very realistic goals, there's no reason not to reach them.

Being tired makes me want to eat. I don't know why. The Halloween candy is gone now - I froze the chocolates for baking and the junk is tossed. I did have some today before it got tossed, but I still managed to stay under calories. I think fitting in a work out each day is going to be the hardest part of this challenge. I…

So here's my list of Challengers and their goals- If I don't have some of your info and you'd rather I didn't that's okay too - It's your challenge - just stick with it and let us know at the end if you met your goals. If you want to send me any missing info you can message me and I'll put it in next Sunday's update.…

When you you are craving something you don't think you should have, go for a walk, play a game with your son, chew gum, drink herbal tea, do your nails, crochet, do some stretching, do anything to take your mind off eating. Also when your starting out I'd say don't determine a time frame for your loss - commit to losing 2…

Mom - you're in! Let me know your starting weight and your goals and we'll report to each other!

I think we'll just keep our dialog going in this post - It makes it easier to keep track. You can private message me as well. I'll post a complete list of those in the challenge with their starting/ goal weight and personal goals Sunday nights to give everyone a chance to get their info in to me. Welcome everyone!

You can check out my challenge - I started today but It's no big deal to start tomorrow. any one can join!

church, lunch and and a performance by an Alex Cuba with my husband and daughter! My husband is lending his drum kit to the band so we got free tickets, should be fun.

I just committed myself to my own challenge! Your welcome to join me, so far it's just me, but I'll be accountable to anyone that joins me. I'm trying to get refocussed on my healthy life after falling off a bit. Here's what you do: Give me starting weight todayish - goal weight for 30th of November. Log everything…

I guess I jumped in sooner than I was ready - I put myself on the list and haven't done any of it. Found a new resolve for myself today though but not with 30 day shred. - I haven't given up - just had taken a break. Good luck to everyone!

bump - I'll watch it later.
