licha, sending you healing thoughts and wishes for peace. Please be sure to get the rest your body needs. So sorry to hear about your miscarry.

Down a bit more this week... and there were two birthdays and a halloween party this week! Happy to hear about successes, too bad to hear about all the sickness! Hope everyone has healthy week coming up. Current Weight (As of 10/29): 224.7 lb. Challenge Goal Weight (for DEC 22): 212 Weight Category: Reduce 9/1: 227.3 lb.…

High Fives to EVERYONE! Keeping my fingers crossed I can stay disciplined with the halloween candy that's IN THE HOUSE!

0.8 lost this week. I'll take it, but I my 'effort' could be improved! I should probably start by not bringing the Halloween candy home a week early *sigh* Current Weight (As of 10/22): 225.3 lb. Challenge Goal Weight (for DEC 22): 212 Weight Category: Reduce 9/1: 227.3 lb. 9/8: 226.7 9/15: 227.1 9/22: 223.5 9/29: missed…

If I knew what 'bump' meant, I'd try it... but for now, here are my late results from last week. I realized I replied on the wrong thread after I posted. Copied and pasted for weigh in 10/13-10/16: If I'm not too late to weigh in for the 10/13- 10/16 week, here are my numbers: I lost .3 this week, but I'm surprised at…

If I'm not too late to weigh in for the 10/13- 10/16 week, here are my numbers: I lost .3 this week, but I'm surprised at myself and the apparent lack of caring I've had the past few weeks. Do I want this or what? Interesting to say the least. Current Weight (As of 10/16): 226.1 lb. Challenge Goal Weight (for DEC 22): 212…

I missed last week's weigh-in (where the heck is my brain??) and have a gain for this week (anyone seen my wagon? I seem to have jumped off somewhere!) Anyhow, here are the vitals for this week: Current Weight (As of 10/8): 226.4 lb. Challenge Goal Weight (for DEC 22): 212 Weight Category: Reduce 9/1: 227.3 lb. 9/8: 226.7…

I LOVE this idea! Just what I needed to get me out of my current 'slump'. I'm looking forward to participating!

10/6 works well... I'm just so happy to have the scale moving in the right direction! Thank you AGAIN for putting the motivation I need in such a beautiful chart! Also, how do I get the picture for our challenge in my signature? I think there was a code at some point, but I could lose three years of my life looking for it.…

Ok, so I'm still on the learning curve when it comes to posting. I was trying to quote Stacybee in my reply... I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one moving the scale around the floor! Happy weekend everyone!

Sorry, Falisa should have been FALISHA. :blushing:

Falisa, I'm wishing you peace and understanding in the loss of your grandmother. Our heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for your dedication to this challenge. I have gained weight this week and also a little more wisdom of my own personality (LOL) Apparently I was not taking this weight loss effort…

Wow what a crazy week it's been for me! I'm happy with 0.6 because it COULD have been a lot worse! This week I'll be working on getting enough sleep as well as taking the time to exercise. Thanks again for everything! Current Weight (As of today): 227.3 lb. Challenge Goal Weight (for DEC 22): Weight Category: Reduce 9/1:…

Wow, I'm blown away by the participation/anticipation... I've never done a challenge like this before and a big huge thank you to Falisha for organizing it and that CHART is a work of ART! I now find myself wishing I hadn't participated in a big Italian dinner a few hours ago :blushing:

:happy: I am SO so happy and fortunate to have found your post(s) in time! I definitely need to be held accountable for my actions (for better or worse) and I'm looking forward to seeing how much progress I can make in this newly-committed weight loss journey. My name is Jess and I have the uncanny ability to sabotage my…

Thank you for posting this... the timing was perfect for me as I needed a nudge in the 'determination' department! Way to go with your success and achievements in the past year!

Hi Marilyn! I also struggle with motivation at times (I have one of those 'all or nothing' personalities). I am also just venturing onto the message boards! Jess

Hi All, I just found this post (kind of new to the message boards) and would like to know if I can join you in the challenge if it's not too late? How do I join?

Tough call, but I'd have to go with being practical and keep it if the bed is in good shape. At the very least you can get new bedding and duvet cover and make it yours.

You are an inspiration already! I'm also looking for some weight loss pals, thanks for the invitation to join you!

Oh, wow, it's great to hear I'm not the only one! I agree with all of the posts that say to hide it (or lock it up...love that one) but I also fall into the trap of checking my weight morning and night. I'd love to hear what you decide to do. Good luck!

If you have access to a pool, I'd try walking in the water. It would be easy on your ankle and cool you off in that crazy hot weather. Good luck!
