Ashlee checking in a 274. Down a pound...hopefully I will do next better next week!

WOOHOO! I wanted to lose 10 pounds this month, and I've lost 12 in the last two weeks, so that's a total of 16 for the month of October! I wanted to lose 20 by the end of the year, and I think I'm going to get there!

Hi, Larry! No published novels yet, though I have an agent. I write urban fantasy, primarily (think "True Blood"-type stuff) though I'm currently working on a young adult postapocalyptic novel. I'm a college English professor, so most of my published work is academic. Keep your fingers crossed for me on the novels.

Curiosity has gotten the better of me, what kind of novel is it? Since you say your last novel, I assume that you have previous novels. Any published? Any available online?

165....i didn't work hard enough. Stressful month. I need to focus more. Congrats to all who loss weight.

final weigh in is 253.4 down 2.2 pounds from last week. Lost only 4.4 pounds this challenge Didnt really work hard enough this month. Getting back on track for the Turkey challenge. Bring it on.

I made my weight goal!!!! I had a goal of 195 set and weighed in at 194.5. It was amazing though because most of the loss occurred in the last week of the challenge. I also have done pretty well on the goal of doing at least 45 minutes on the ellyptical 6 days a week. I did miss that a few days when i was traveling for work, but i have to say I have been very faithful on sticking with it when I could get to the gym and I have been pumping up the level. I did not meet my goal of running 2 miles without stopping but I will work on it this month.

Thanks for inviting me to the challenge!!

I weighed in @ 254.2, did not meet my goal weight. I did excellent on my exerise goals this month, however I could have used some improvement on dietary (more fruits and vegetables, less carbs). And my personal goal I can't even remember what it was so I definately know I did not work on that. October was a struggle for me. I pray November "Turkey Challenge" will be better.

Awesome job.

Thank you!!

I didn't manage it by the 29th, but today I hit my monthly goal weight of 239. Hooray!!!!

I lost no weight during this challenge and gained1 pound (168). I hope the Turkey Challenge goes better.

I'm checking in early this week because this will be a very busy weekend, and I won't be at the computer much! Anyway, I am down 5 pounds this week to 253! Woohoo!!!!! I got a fill a week ago, and the weight just came off this time!! My goal was 10 pounds, but I hit 9, which makes me really happy!!!!
