Heather, that's so cool! Isn't it great to finally be rewarded through loose fitting clothes? Keep it up girl. I was thinking about your cal allowance and at your height and fitness level, 1,600 daily seems good. Are you losing on that? Are you logging every single morsel of food? It comes down to a very simple…

Heather hi...I'm trying to figure out a safe and achievable daily calorie allowance for you. How tall are you and on a scale of 1-10 (10 being can jog on a treadmill level 5 for 15 mins straight), how active are you?

Allie- I LOVE that suggestion....holy cow... I say bring it:wink: I figure the more accountability we have not only to ourselves and to each other, but now against a challenge group is awesome. I am soooo into this. What are the details, rules etc??? We can still keep our groups personal weigh ins and figure with another…

We are onto our Thanksgiving phase of the challenge tomorrow and welcome any and all newbies to jump aboard and be a part of our awesome group:flowerforyou:

Happy Halloween everyone! Ok- this is the first of our 3 major milestones for the remainder of 2009. Sadly I missed my goal which was to be at 182 today...I weighed in at 185.5 -3.5lbs since the 3PC began. I actually gained a pound since my last weigh in but I value the loss and will keeep steaming ahead full…

Wow, so much has happened to you all this past week. Tara, sorry to hear about your ankle, that totally sucks and I do hope you are not in a lot of pain. Stay on track with your eating as much as possible. I read in a journal that weight loss comes down to a 3 way split, the breakdown... 80% contributes to what you eat 10%…

Congrats Allie...that's a huge accomplishmet. I can't believe you ran a 10K in 65mins...it takes me 12.5 mins to run ONE mile, seriously. Ok...so we both have the big 3 to lose this week. I know we can do it and I love just how aggressive you're being with your personal goals for the week, I had to up mine when I saw what…

Thank you so much Allie. I think the weight loss was due to having the flu and losing my appetite. I actually couldn't taste what I did eat!! ok...so in response to the weigh in day, a lot chose Mondays. It's as good a day as any for me and will get us back on track after the weekend. Here are my stats... SW 189 CW 185 The…

Great work Lynette- Let me know how the no eating after 6:30 turns out. I have to stretch mine to 7:30 and even that's pushing it. Allie- I like you challenge for this week. It's so funny that's what you picked as I must have discovered some of those hidden and dusty leg muscles yestareday, I swear I can barely move today.…

ALRIGHT TEAM!!! Today is our very first weigh in...and thank you so much to allie for kicking it off. Are you kidding that 2.5lbs "isn't bad at all" :wink: That's a killer start to this challenge. That was also my loss for this week and i'm doing a jig around the front lawn :laugh: Here are my stats... SW- 189 CW-186.5…

Hi guys... so happy to report a loss again on the scales this morning :wink: Isn't it amazing how that little machine can put you on top of the world or at rock bottom depending on that digital read! Anyway, I know that daily weigh ins are not recommended but I am addicated to them and cannot shake the habit. So far having…

Tara... sounds like a great plan. You can totally drop 2 this week....I know you can :smile:

Heather, after reading about you, it just put a big grin on my face to know there are truely good and kind people in the world who do amazing work with very special people. I wanted to thank you and to cheer you on in our goals. It'll be tough but hey, so are we right?

Tara- thanks for that. It's nice to know a little about the person behind the name.:flowerforyou: Alright gals... you ready for this week???? I dunno, I always kick off my week on Monday vs. Sunday, I guess I'm still in the weekend mode on that day. I plan on killer workouts each day, drinking all my water and logging my…

I thought we should do a little "bonding" as a group and get to know little about each other... here it goes. Originally from Ireland, I moved here when I was 17 and have never looked back. I'm a 42 year old Mom of 2 awesome girls and the cutest Cavalier King Charles on the planet. I am priviliged to be able to stay at…

Happy Saturday everyone! Allie... I like that challenge and will think of it this week as I am sure to encounter that day when I NEED to get to the gym and the little devil on my shoulder will be telling me to 'take a load off". :mad: Heather and nomoreexcuses...welcome to our group and good luck. We can do this!

Hi guys and a huge welcome.... let's not worry if your holidays come early (or not at all) The point is to have a goal date in mind and work towards that goal, right? I really need to work on my Wins for next week. Anyone like to throw a challenge out there for the group to work on??? Good luck to all and a toast to US!

Hi and super excited you're here. That's 19 lbs by Christmas....totally doable. We'll be toasting each other by Christmas. NO SURRENDER!

Hey!!!!:flowerforyou: How are you and the diet going? Started off fresh AGAIN this morning and am incorporating a couple of things in to this week to see how I do... 1.- Cut off eating at 7:30. Only allowed tea (try Sleepytime it's awesome) if I absolutely need it. 2.- No wine during the week. Will reward myself on Friday…

Hi and welcome! I feel your pain. I have 50lbs to lose and want it more than anything in the world. I have a super husband who is HOT and I'm NOT!! Ouch!!! that hurts to say and to write it- but hey, this wonderful site allows for honesty and venting. I have promised him every year for the past "10" years that I would lose…

Megan38- how in Gods name were you able to drop sooo much weight sooo fast!!!! I mean that's so incredible!!! I hear you about the workouts and am tapering to 5 this week. Shredder

I'm so happy with my bad self that I had to post this morning.:happy: My mission to be down 28 lbs by Christmas day is well under way. I lost 3.5 lbs this week and have worked out every single day! Yahoo :drinker: Not sure if any of you out there are setting similar goals for yourselves, but I sure would like some company…

Hi... I just read your story and my heart really bleeds for you.:cry: I have to say the first thing I would do is to change your sign on name from "bigchunkydunk" to a way more fitting description....like "hotoff thepress" :wink: :smile: You're so pretty and clearly compassionate, adopting a child is a huge step and not a…

Hi there Wolfgang!! This can be done. I got on the scales this am (because I weigh myself every single morning) and I'm down 2 lbs already. Got my work out in this am and my cooler all packed with fruit, sliced turkey, water and nuts for when I'm on the go today. That's so incredible you quit smoking like that- you see?…
