Hmm, I'll try this. I've been stuck at 166 for about a week now. I'll go for the 150 but I'm averaging 2.5# week so that may be ambitious.

12.5# to Thanksgiving goal of 150

Love these challenges! I have goals for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I'll be revising the other two based on this one.

Aggressive, but I've got a plan ;) For NSV, Water and Protein will be my focus. Also continuing to work out 6 days a week.

Good luck to us all!

Toyaboo22: don't give up.... We do have stalls but we keep going. We switch up what we're eating, increase our exercise, etc. You can do this? Whenwas your surgery? :P

I FINALLY broke my stall (if this is any help). I upped my fluid intake a good bit and started doing more intensive exercise where my heart rate was up for longer than 30 minutes by running one day and doing a fitness boot camp the next.

Goal weight for competition 182

I am losing about 10lbs a month so hoping I can keep at least this pace...I would super love to hit the 170's even if it is 179.8...lol...I leave going home to visit family back in Arkansas on the 19th and it will be the first time anyone has seen me since surgery. I had hoped to be about 180lbs by then but I guess more importantly I am a size (size 12) that I had first thought was my goal. So in weight I am off my target but in size I am eon's ahead of where I had hoped to be...I will take it.

I love pics so if any are willing...when we post our final goal weigh post a pic of you with your family...
