For those who have met their goal for Labor Day already, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! If you'd like a head start, I'm starting the new Challenge NOW. Good luck!!!

I will wait to begin on Labor Day though, in hopes to get a few pounds down by then. Today I weigh 186.2 - a combination of surgery weight and PMS... but I'll just have to work hard at getting this off. I'll have to do it without the help of working out too! I can't start to do anything seriously calorie burning until six weeks out... or really until my surgeon gives me the go ahead. So, I'll have to really watch what I'm eating!!! Not that I didn't already, but still.

All I can do physically right now is walking, and not even anything fast... just... walking... ugghhh!!! I feel a little lost right now, but I digress...

checking in - I got my first workout in today!!!!!! This challenge has totally motivated me. One workout down, 37 to go by October 31!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipeee

Scale moving....I hope that it keeps it up....going to try to increase my work outs...

Let's lose together, I'm in! I miss labor day goal by 3 lbs. however I don't feel I missed a beat in my weight loss. In 8 weeks to goal I am going to try for 2lbs. a week which will get me very close to onederland, 3 lbs. from it. If I make it there I will be estatic. Come on Halloween!!! Bonus I have a wedding that weekend too, so it will be great to go try on dresses and see what size I am near onederland.

update - got my 2nd workout in today but cannot adjust ticker. 2 down, 36 to go, by Halloween. Also my weight is down to 266.2 as of this morning. Yipee!!! How is everyone else doing?

Funny how getting the workouts in makes things move. I have managed to get to the gym 2 days in a row and have lost more than three pounds. I like it. Makes for a good start to my Halloween goal. 263.2 this morning. 245 is the goal. that will put me with in 25 lbs of my doctors goal in less than 4 months. They said it may take up to 18 months for me to get there. I'm a little ahead of schedule, I think.

so true Jim - workouts make such a difference. I dont have energy today, so I need to find a way to motivate myself to go today. I also sleep so much better when I work out.

I managed to go walking even if i didnt have the energy. I feel sooo proud.

Getting back on track after some struggles. So close to onederland I can almost smell it
