NO, my life is not slowing down. DH got a flat tire so we were running around tonight to drop his car off at the shop to get it fixed. At least I had a chance to get to the gym and then meet him at the shop afterwards.
Busy-busy-busy. I bought home work that I still have to do and it is already 8 pm here.
So food was good and I did not get to exercise as much as I wanted in the gym but all and all today was fine .
Breakfast: 1 weight control oatmeal (160), 1 tbs raisins (65), 1 ww bread (40), 1 slice red. Fat swiss cheese (60), 1 c. ff milk (90), 1 tbs choc. Syrup (12), 1 coffee (50)= 477
Snack: 1 orange (80), =80
Lunch: Amy’s vegetable lasagna (310),= 310
Snack : 1 sugar free blueberry breakfast bar (100), 1 rice cake (50) = 150
Dinner: Curried Rice and Egg Salad (1 c. broccoli(25), 1 medium egg (70), 1 egg white (15), 2 tbs rice (75), mustard, 1 tbs walnuts(50), 1 tomato (10), ¼ c plain yogurt( 27), 2 c. lettuce (10)), = 282
Dessert: 1 large apple (120) = 120
Total calories for the day : 1419
Exercise. Morning: was too tired and only did like 30 min walk burning only 200 calories, planning to make up for it tonight at boot-camp. Ok, Did like 15 min on the treadmill and boot-camp, burning 390 cal = 590 burned today.

You are doing great! Just one more day until weigh-in!! Yay!
Ha-ha SweatPea, I was going to come here to post the same thing!!! I can't wait till tomorrow!!! I feel "skinnier"
We are going to a big yard-sale early in the morning tomorrow, so it will take me a little time to update my stats.
Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it. I am doing so much better since I joined this forum, the lbs are just flying off!!
I looked at my stats, in July I lost like 3 lbs, August is like 6 and now September hopefully be even more!!

oK, i have to say this again:
I can not believe I am only 10 lbs away from my goal!! OMG. The last time I was this weight was soooo long ago... and I thought this day would never come....
Everybody if you read this and you just starting out: DO NOT EVER GIVE UP. The reward at the end is unbelievable!!! Keep going no matter how hard it seems at the time!!!
I remembered today where I was about 1year ago. Sitting on my couch ice-cream in hand, feeling sorry for myself, complaining that I am not losing and feel fat, feeling that I will never be able to look sexy again, no self-confidence, hating myself and the world around me... going on the way to depression... Somehow, something happened that I can not put my finger on that yanked me out of this state and I started my journey. Was not easy to start, there were set-backs and struggles... and now today I am ever so grateful I stuck to it. This board has been a great help to keep it together and keep going..
Ok, that is enough of me right now.

You know Hajni, your so right. I have thought about giving up time and time again when I think I can't handle this or things are just to stressful around the house or with dh and I, but talking to you and the other ladies on this forum have really helped pull me through. I have lost a total of 20.4 lbs in the 10 weeks that I have been on this journey to losing weight and I really don't think I would have continued after that first month if it hadn't been for this forum and the friends I have made on here. Congrats on only having 10 lbs to go to get to your goal thats great and I'm really proud of you even though you have done most of it without knowing me. Keep up the great work girl and I'm glad I have gotten to know you.

Look at you go girl!!!Your menue looks great,and your ticker has took a big DROP!Also you are 1 of the ones in the halloween challange that posted 15 pts the max 3 weeks in a row I was going to post names for curious minds I think there are 3 including yourself.Have gr8 Monday,Tammy
HI Tammy!! I guess you can tell I am a competitous person, LOL. When I concentrate on something I give it my 110%, no excuses. I just had to make up my mind to concentrate on the weight loss, once it was done, there is no stopping me!!!
Now I am determined to go below my initially set goal amount for the challenge. We'll see.... I am extremely grateful for this challenge. No doubt it has a great effect on my progress. I really do want to get all the max. points and be the "biggest loser" It pushes me in the right direction.
