Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month.

On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!!

I know this sounds boring (but I hate to cook)

I've been adding pumpkin purée pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg vanilla extract and stevia to my Greek yogurt and yum!

Up to 9.78 miles for the month! I feel great. Pre-op I couldn't walk one block without being out of breath, now 70 pounds lighter I'm walking across town. I love my sleeve :-D

I'm going to be working on a high-protein no-sugar, no crust recipe for pumpkin pie here shortly so wish me luck.

I have to try that, Laura.

And Gamegirl.. I'll be watching out for yours too!!

Thank you!

Wow! Who knew crochet could be so cute??!! Can you tell I don't do handwork? No patience so I am slightly envious of people who can and DO it! Lol. Congratulations!!!!

Please please. Hey I think I saw a crust less pumpkin in the WW mag this month. I'll have to look.

Thank you! I learned how when I was 12 years old, so I've been doing it going on 26 years now. It's relaxing to me, but I think I need to look for hobby that's a bit more active to share time with my crochet!

Pulled in another 5 miles today. 49.2 miles total

how cool is that? Pretty soon you're going to be like those skinny Manhattanites in black rushing around town with their heels in their bags

I started work at 7:30 am and it's 7:30 pm and I just now got done working. No miles for me today.

Whew...what a day! Glad I am feeling more up to par! I started the day with a 3.2 mile bike ride, I walked 3.8 miles today and just finished 4.25 miles on the bike. I am whooped but feel great. That makes my total 60.79 miles so far!

Spent 6 days on a ranch with no cell or wifi, walked 2 miles a day, a lot of uphill and stuck to my post op diet. Lost 0 lbs..... Frustrated, but trudging onward.
