Mollie, I had the same thought when I saw my goal was 16lbs, but like you, I want to be 300 or less by January 1st. I'd be exstatic if I was 299, that would make my New Year. :drinker:

I was stuck for about a month, (since Halloween) had gained 3lbs and nothing was coming off. The scale finally started to moved again on Monday, down to were I was in October. You just need to stick to it with exercising and watching your calorie intake, the scale will start moving again. It may take a little bit but it…

Great article. Since I've been watching what I eat and reading food labels I have stopped buying food that have HFCS. It's not just for me but for my kids. And the commercials saying it's fine in moderation makes me laugh. Yea, maybe it is but it's in just about EVERYTHING you buy today. So you can't have it in moderation.…

I'm in, could use a challenge to help keep me motivated. Name: Carleen Starting Weight: 316 Goal Weight by December 31, 2010: 300 What you will do to get to that goal weight: exercise daily at least 1hr., log food & drink all my water daily

Well, messed up today, kind of funny though. Went out this morning to do errands returning things, then was going to come back and work out for 90 mins, (thought since my only w/o days this wk is Mon, Tues, Wed & Thur, need to get it all in) Anyway, went out, grab the keys off the table, got to the car and saw I grabbed…

Wow, it's great seeing everyone that finished the challenge. Unfortunately I fell short of 40mins last week, but I'm here to make it again this week. Hopefully will do better and make it. Mollie & Kim I know you guys are right and I really should get a HRM but they just seem sooo expensive and I can't justify it right now.…

Harla, you can quit. I was a smoker for over 30yrs, I'm 47, started when I was about 14, uggg. Anyway, I had gotten bronchitis and had problems with my asthma in '06 and quit.

Monday 11/1 45mins treadmill, 20 mins Just dance II on wii Tuesday 11/2 45min treadmill, 15mins just dance Wednesday 11/3 zilch I have sooo much fun with the just dance game. When my daughter comes home from school we play it together before she starts her h/w.

I got Just Dance for the kids last weekend, it is soooo much fun. I have to totally agree with you, it is sooo much better then the treadmill. Only, I didn't know that it could log calories burned, I have to check that out. But usually we're playing it as dance battle or one on one. love just dance.:happy:

Congrats on quitting smoking. I finally quit after 30yrs also, it was hard and took several tries. I know where you're coming from with the weight loss. I have 180 to lose and get so overwhelmed by it sometimes. What's helping is setting mini goals for myself and trying not to look at the WHOLE picture. It takes time and…

love swett potato fries. Here's a twist on it other then cinnamon and sugar. Toss the fries with some fresh thyme and rosemary finely chopped with some butter, evoo, margarine,veg.oil(which ever you prefer) & a little splenda brown sugar. Goes great with pork chops.

Try it and listen to what your body says to you. From my own experience, I started with trying to do the C25K but realized I couldn't quite make the running part. I'm walking right now and will try running again when I lose 50lbs or so. Good luck
