As the Challenge goes until Oct 7, I am hoping to lose another 5 pounds by then, and hopefully another 5 pounds by October 21, my husband's birthday. :) How is everyone doing toward their challenges?

I have to say this challenge is helping me a great deal in making sure I do track my food each day! And as a result of tracking my food I am being more careful about how much I am eating! Thanks to everyone! QOTD #12: What are your goals (weight, food, exercise, other) for September? My exercise goal is to work on adding…

I was eating well since January, though probably not moving as much as I could be as I have only lost 25 pounds in the last 8 1/2 months. However, I plateaued most of July and August with very little weight loss. I changed up how I ate last week, instead of oatmeal for breakfast and a sandwhich/leftovers for lunch. I had…

QOTD #5: What do you do to keep yourself on track while traveling or on vacation? When I hit the buffet, I try to stick to vege's, and very small, palm sized total amount of meat. QOTD #6: What is your main motivation to get in shape right now? I want to show my son to live a healthier lifestyle and to encourage my husband…

I am not sure how but I have lost 4.2 pounds this week, Enjoying my new low weight!

QOTD #1: What is your favorite kind of exercise and why? My favorite exercise is treading water, I am not big on swimming and really not crazy about water, but for some reason, I love to be in 5 feet of water and tread. I feel like I can feel my body toning up, when I work out in the water. I try for 45 minutes at a time.…

Such a great and visible difference! I need to start posting some before and during pictures! You are so inspiring to me!

I tend to stay within the borders of the store too. I also tend to shop at the Persian markets (I am in SoCal) because they are about 70% cheaper on fruits and veges, than the chain grocery stores. Some of my favorite recipes are Booroni (sauted fresh spinach with garlic), in a little olive oil until brightly colored),…

My wake call was in January...I stepped on the scale and weighed a few more pounds than I had when I was 9 months pregnant with my son. That is when I looked up what a BMI was, and typed in my height and weight....and it was 41, I was shocked, and sad and decided right then and here I was going to start losing weight. I am…

I do mini goals too, not with dates but now feeling like I should. I play lots of World of Warcraft so every 10 pounds I buy myself a pet from the Blizzard store, then when I lose 25 pounds I am going to buy myself a mount. I have only lost 23 pounds of my 100 pound goal, and it bouces between two pounds but, I am happy it…

Have you talked with your parents that is the path you want to be on? Perhaps if they were aware how serious you are they would help keep the crap food out of the house. If that isn't an option then buy low calorie snacks/salad. I read an article this week that said if you avoid the high sugar snacks/sodas for two weeks…

I love that!

When I stood on the scale in January I realized I too had 100 pounds to lose. Here it is 8 months later and I have lost 23.2 pounds. I know I am going slow but am excited because it isn't going back on. It may take some time but you are doing it for the right reasons, for yourself! I know you can do it!! Created by…
