Been messing up and not losing. Will do better starting today. Back on board!

Fresh off the Labor Day Challenge (lost 9 1/2 pounds) and ready for more... Good luck y'all! My Halloween goal is 170

Didn't make my goal... I'm at 183 pounds, down 9 1/2 pounds... but hey, that's more than I would have lost if I hadn't started the challenge. I'm ready for the Halloween challenge, goin' there now! And a great big woo-hoo to all of you who not only met but exceeded your challenge goals!

Current weight 185. I've only lost 7 1/2 pounds since starting the challenge, but I might not have lost anything if I hadn't started at all! So I'm good and working hard for more of a loss this week.

Started two weeks ago, been up and down a little but lost another two pounds this week. Total lost since starting the challenge: 5 1/2 pounds. Almost ten months out and it's slow (but sure) from here. NSV: Able to do sit-ups again! Am exercising daily and that's helping a lot. Only 29 days left in this challenge though, and I still have 14 1/2 pounds to go to meet my goal. Arggh.

Well not too successful a week! I gained back two of the three and a half pounds that I lost the first week Back on track for now... was eating out a lot and not exercising. Remember, as Roseanne says, "The only one who can defeat me is me!"

Ha, it took me four weeks! Hang in.

K, don't know if we have a formal weigh-in day, but I'm making mine Saturday for now... Finally cracked 190. Whew! What a freakin' battle it's been! But I'm here and I'm stayin'! Three pounds down this week. Yay.

I hear ya sisters. BUT after not having exercised for 7-8 months, I just started and already I can see an improvement. No, I won't be supermodel material, but I'm better than I was and I'll be better yet if I just don't give up. We all just need to hang in. I'm wearing shorts this year... first time in forever. And yes, they're long enough to cover the thigh flab. That and a little self-tanner and I look pretty good! I'll wear a tank top around the house or while exercising, but that's it. No public appearances in skimpy tops. Also remember, I'm 64 years old and maybe I'd just be getting flabby anyway!

Had a successful day 1 on the challenge. I'm happy!

I'm in too. I'm eight months out (nearly nine) and it's slowed down a lot... so I seriously need to kick-start everything again. Wt loss Goal: 20 Exercise (ugh): 5x wkly Good luck everyone! Forgot to add a few things: SW 192 1/2; GW 172 1/2 Keep Protein over 80; carbs under 50; cals around 900-1000.

You're looking great Lissa. I guess I'll have to really get serious about the exercise. So far I've been about 50-60% committed.

I'm eight months out and have lost 84 pounds. BUT I notice that my weight loss is now slowing down drastically. Is this the part where I have to start working harder??!! On the other hand, I just got back from a vacation and maintained, so I guess it ain't all bad! Anyone else notice a slowing at this stage?

Yay, keep up the good work!

Big yay for you. Carry on, you're doing great!
