I have you down for 138 last week.... another good loss!! You gals rock!!

You were at 187.8 last week..... thats a great loss! Congrats!!

Down ONE HUNDRED POUNDS!!!!!!!! Wow.... I'm so impressed! Congrats girl!! My final goal will be a total loss of between 112 and 122, so I love seeing people like yourself actually being able to lose 100+ pounds. You are a true inspiration.

Here's a few little motivational quotes I found on the web..... they all made me stop and think. The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph! You may delay, but time will not. Take twice as long to eat half as much. Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us. Your body is the baggage…

lol.... just realized I forgot to post my weight!!! SW: 206.9 CW: 205.4 GW: 186.9 (-20) I made a few bad choices while on vacation, but overall I am happy with this weeks weigh-in. But..... I can guarantee you that next week's will be much better!! There have been some GREAT posts so far today..... CONGRATS to EVERYONE!!!!…

As far as exercising while you have to be off your feet..... air boxing!!! Its great cardio. I have bad knees and quite often cant do much lower body work, but I can still get a workout by twisting at the waist and doing the boxing. As far as the drinking and eating... all I can say is fill up on healthy foods before…

Of course you can still join!!! Welcome!!!! @Brat..... that recipe sounds yummy.... I am definitely going to try it!! Thanks for sharing!!

Happy Monday Challengers!!! Yep, only 9 1/2 weeks til Thanksgiving! I just love this time of year. So many beautiful colors everywhere! @glasielady..... I absoluteley love Zumba!! When I go 'home' to western NY (two or three times a year) I go to the class at the Y there, but I dont like the class here where I live. I've…

Wow.... congrats on reaching ONE-derland!! That calls for a celebration!!!!:bigsmile: Thanks to everyone for getting their weigh-in posted..... I warned you I'd come looking if you didnt!! LOL. I still have a few more challengers to track down! Hope everyone is having a terrific weekend! Jodie

Hey Nikki... unfortunately, it's very easy to get sidetracked. For me, I must keep my weight loss and health goals in the forefront of my thoughts constantly. Whenever life gets busy and hectic my thoughts get diverted away from myself. I'm a food addict, so if I'm not paying attention, I grab a cookie! I've also learned…

Okay ladies.... I'm home and ready to rock this weight off!! I have to admit I overindulged here and there while on vacation! Hopefully all the walking will have helped with some of those extra calories. My daughter and her boyfriend are still here at my house for another day or two.... THEN I can get my life back to…

Actually, I'd prefer everyone 'reported' on Wednesdays. You can weigh in whenever you want, but for me to keep track of all 80 challengers, having the same 'report' day will be easier. I just dont want to overlook someone posting their weigh-in's if its on a different day. I'm in the process of updating the spreadsheet…

Hi again Challengers! My internet connection here at the hotel is unreliable, so I apologize for not being here too much. I see a few people have already posted their first week weigh-in results.... and so far, I'm so impressed!! But let's remember, this in not a competition, but a challenge to meet a goal that we each set…

Hey my fellow challengers..... I'm on vaca (finally!)... in Virginia Beach and having a great time! Spent the day on the beach and did lots of walking! I have bad knees so I am in a bit of pain right now. Nothing a little Ibuprophen wont cure. I'm a bit worried about what my food options will be this week, but I will do my…

@pmjsmom... you are so right! If you make a bad food choice.... immediately acknowledge it and learn from it. If you absolutely must have something like a hot dog (or taco, in my case!), choose a healthy version of that item. If this is truly a lifestyle change, we need to learn how to make healthy options of our favorite…

Great to have you.... please post your Challenge starting weight and your goal weight for November 24! Thanks!

Just to let you all know...... I started this challenge to keep myself accountable. I need to know that someone is watching me, and counting on me to live a healthy lifestyle. I believe that to be true for many of us. So, in order to make all of you accountable to me and each other, I spent some time last night and made an…

Now THAT is what this is all about!! So happy for you! Thanks Teresa..... I'm trying! Being accountable to all of you is definitely keeping me motivated and on track! Look out... I'm gonna make that scale move down, down, down!! Glad to have so many wonderful Challengers here to get healthy with each other. We can ALL do…

It's NEVER too late!!! Hope everyone is planning an active and healthy weekend. Be mindful of your goal at all times..... especially when you are tempted by a treat!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday! At five o'clock I will officially be on vacation! WooHoo! My oldest daughter and her boyfriend are coming here (I live in Va., they live in NY state where I am from). On Monday we are all (hubby and youngest daughter that lives here and her son) we are all going down to Va Beach…

I'm envious of you having breast reduction surgery! I have always wished I was brave enough to do that. I pray that it goes well for you!

Night time is my worst time too!! I have to admit, thats one of the reasons I decided to take on the challenge of putting this Thanksgiving challenge together.... to keep me busy and accountable! Last night, and so far tonight too, I have been busy reading posts and trying to get the list of challengers updated that I…

Happy Thursday Challengers! So, I went out to dinner last night for work and had chicken parmassen(sp?). I ate about two thirds of it, which was too much. So, as I expected, I feel yucky this morning! I ate really light yesterday for breakfast and lunch, so hopefully I didnt go too much over my total calories for the day.…

Glad you got your ticker! That visual is a good motivator. Try to make a plan ahead of time for your weekend. If you start to feel bored or lonely, look to your plan! Have a list of friends ready to call.... have a favorite comedy dvd ready to watch.....go for a walk.... do some internet searching for new and healthy…

What a GREAT response to this challenge!! You all have got me sooooo motivated! As of right now, there are 52 of us participating. If you want to see all of us at a glance, along with our challenge starting weights and our pounds to lose goal, I have made a list and pasted it on my profile page. I will keep it updated as…

Soooo proud of you for passing by those doughnuts!! Baked goods are my weakness, so I feel your pain! Stay strong!

I am loving everyone's excitement so far!!! Wow, some of you have already lost a great deal of weight.... Congrats to you! Please feel free to offer any advice to each other along this challenge. I have a work dinner to go to tonight at a restaurant that I have never been to, so I have no idea what I will be eating. I'm a…

And we're off! Finally! Up until yesterday I was going to set a goal of 25 pounds, but realized that may be more than I can do right now given my track record over the past few months! So, I'm setting my goal at 20 pounds for this eleven week challenge. I CAN, and WILL do that!:happy: Starting weight: 206.9 Current Weight:…

Your topic made me laugh because I just wrote a blog this afternoon titled 'Whats a girl gotta do to STAY on the wagon?" Guess this happens to lots of us. I blame stress too, because eating is how I have always chose to deal with stress. We all have stress, so the trick will be to learn how to deal with stress in a less…
