Well I found out I need this group even just to maintain. I gained 3 pounds this month. Holiday, vacation and not tracking took its toll. Back on track for December! Terri

Hello everyone. Hope your month is going well. Mine has been crazy and I have not checked in here very often this month. I have been busy sewing costumes for the church Christmas program (1 wiseman and Joseph left) That has take up a lot of free time and my daughters swim club is hosting a big meet this week so the board…

Just a quick check in. Sorry I started this and then am not around as much as I would like to be. My life goes crazy from mid Aug til after Christmas every year. Sports, getting ready for the holidays, resumption of swim club responsibilities, planning things for Sunday school. And then this year I had 2 infants start at…

Well October was the worst a 3 pound gain. I should be glad it was not more due to lack of exercise and some pretty rotten eating. Time to knuckle down. Starting weight 181 Here we go! Terri

Hello everyone, I am still here I just have been soooo busy. I think since school started I have had something almost every night of the week. I also had 2 new infants start my home daycare so work has been really stressful and crazy busy also. I have not had a great loss nor gain this month. With all the activity and…

Wow! So many new people. IT is great to see everyone. Sorry I have been gone a while but I just have not had time to go on the computer. September was a bad month at my house I hurt my back the kids all had a stomach flu early in the month and then coughs and colds the end of the month. May October be a lot better to our…

Let's get together on this journey again next month Here's the link to the October challenge. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/354507-lose-5-pounds-a-month-october-2011-challenge Hope I am around more next month and can get some more working out down. Hope everyone comes along again next month.

I am finally back. I had enough time yesterday to read about how every one is doing. Sorry I don't have time to comment. Today is the 2nd day in the last 2 weeks that all 3 kids have gone to school. We have been fighting a very nasty stomach bug this month and hopefully everyone stays healthy. This month is going to be one…

Trying to read and comment on everyone since Thursday just don't have the time. We are dealing with the stomach flu here at my house and lack of sleep and time for exercise are getting in the way. I have had kids home from school at least 1/3 of the school year already. My daughter started throwing up at 2:30 last night…

Great job on the weight loss. I guess it would depend on the wedding. Is it at a fancier place? I learned long ago clothes and some guys just don't care about clothes.

High fiber. Sometimes when you are cutting back being backed up can be a side effect. Drink more water. Metamucil works wonders and my doctor has me taking dose every day.

3.6 in one week. Great job!

A loss is always great!

I have read that the closer you get to your goal the slower the weight comes off. Hang in there you are doing great!

Sounds like some great successes already under way for this month. I walked a mile yesterday and back was a little better today but the scale was back up to 181 so not a great week in the weight loss category. I have a new baby starting full time on Monday so I am going to have to rethink when I get on the treadmill. It…

Claritin does not work. I take it every day for allergies and get pretty hungry!

If you read it on the internet it must be true.

Struggling hard this month. The first 3 days I walked almost 16 miles then pulled something in my lower back. Took it easy last week and only logged 8 miles. Felt better yesterday so I did a slow 5k walk with some very gentle jogs thrown in and wouldn't you know it my back was really sore again today. I am sitting here…

I have not forgotten about you this group I just had an extremely busy weekend. Our town had their annual Defeat of Jesse James Days celebration this weekend and the swim club sells pop and water on Saturday and Sunday, and because I am on the board of directors I spent a lot of time down there working and helping out.…

I am one of those people who when I exercise, especially with running it makes me feel hungrier than when I am just walking. So I eat more, but it can also be a psychological thing where I think I deserve more to eat because I worked so hard. THere is an article in this months Runner's world that talks about not losing in…

Check my signature, not a great loss but its a step in the right direction. Also out of the 180's. Hope I stay there but I have been under the last few days so when the appetite returns it will be hard. I also did something to my lower back so I am taking it easy for a few days. Hope it feels better soon. Some of you are…

Celebrate the victory! Way to go!

Welcome everyone. For those who want to know what to do. This group is here to help and support. Sometimes we offer up eating or exercising challenges. Most the time we share our successes and failures and help keep each other going on this journey. I read yesterday that when you exercise in the sunshine your body produces…

Both. I do the exercise more its the eating less I struggle with!

Food Challenge for this long weekend: STAY ON TRACK! Sounds easy, will probably be very hard. The last long weekend of summer. Motivational Advice if you do fall off the wagon. GET RIGHT BACK ON. DON'T WAIT A DAY BUT ADMIT YOU FELL OFF AND GET RIGHT BACK ON. Remember, new habits (especially eating ones) take a very long…

For all the newbies to this challenge here are the rules: THERE ARE NO RULES. We are an informal support group. Feel free to post challenges faced and overcome. Find a great new food feel free to share. If you are struggling let us know we are here to help each other out. I hopefully will be able to check in more often…

No and you don't fail if you lose less as long as you keep on trying!

Forgot to post the link to the September challenge http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/331120-lose-5-pounds-a-month-september-2011-challenge See you all there! Terri

It is so great to see so many of you still here at the end of the month. For those who made the challenge or lost more congratulations. Keep up the good work! For those who are like me who did not meet the challenge, YOU ARE STILL WINNERS. You may have not met the goal but since you did not throw in the towel and give up…
