Nov 17th (36 days left)

Ok, hopped on the scale this morning, 146.6
2 lb gain from last week which is not bad considering I have TOM around the corner and I always gain a good couple of lbs before hand. I should have no problem showing a loss next week.
So, for the challenge, I collected exactly 0 (zero, nada) points. I made the bonus for one day (+2 points) and gained (-2 points).
Next week will be a lot better.
Ok, gotta run, weekends are always busy around here.
 
Well that is good...good tha the can say that to you and good that you can be reasonable enough to see it and accept it and agree to it...your in the 140s nothing to shabby abt that at all:)

HI Tammy,
I like your plan of maintaining through the holidays. It makes a lot of sense.
As for me, I just want to get this weight loss thing over with. I started it because I wanted to be tip-top shape for my second pregnancy. I am a very focused individual which could be a blessing or a burden depends which way we look at it. LOL. I want to kind of "move on" with my life at this point and there is this 6 lbs holding me back.. I made up my mind to be 140 and I won't be happy until I reach it. So I am going to do my best for the next 5 weeks hoping it will be enough to get to my goal but if not, I will just have to settle with the number on the scale at that point. Comes January I will want to focus on baby-making.. :D
I am kind of tired of this all, I probably over-did it in the last couple of months and kind of burned myself out.... I just want this to be over with.
I hope I am not offending anyone with my views on weight loss, this is just how I feel.
 
Hey Hajni! I heard you weren't feeling too good lately, but now see you are doing much better.

Have a great Thanksgiving! I might be able to get back on before then, but just in case. :D

HI Heather,
Yeah, I am trying to exercise my butt off for the next month or so. I just looked back my records and on the Halloween challenge I lost 9.8 lbs in 5 weeks. I wish I could do that again... for the next 5 weeks, I will try my best but I doubt i can duplicate that...
TOM found me finally last night... now I am cramping like crazy but just relieved as well. This was one loooong cycle (62 days) and I am glad to be over with.
Now I am hoping for a good number on the scale for Saturday since I usually lose over 2lbs just water weight after TOM , so maybe I can get back to the 144.2 I was two weeks ago.
We had snow this morning, coming down hard and making the road pretty slippery. This is when I am glad I only work like 7 miles away from my house!!!
 
Wow i don't know how you do it with snow and all.. eww. i like snow just not driving in it.. haha i am glad your cycle is over finally.. boy that is a long cycle.. i am glad i don't have that long of one... anwyays i think you can do it if you really push hard but not so much the whole 9 lb loss but getting too 140 should be good.. i can't wait till i can say i am finally below 230 but that won't be for another 2 weeks maybe.. haha well gotta go clean dh is coming in tonight and then i won't ever have to say goodbye again.. haha

Pretty happy with myself this morning, hopped on the scale and it showed 145.4 which is awesome considering TOM is here full force. So I might even be back to the 144.something by Saturday that I was two weeks ago. Then 140 is just around the corner from there. Feel pretty positive about reaching my goal.
Have boot-camp tonight, convinced the ladies at the gym to do a make up class since our regular scheduled boot camp is on Thursdays.
Made the cookies last night and happy to say I have not touched them, actually did not need too much will-power as they were not appealing to me at all.. happy about that too!!
I am so looking forward to the next 4 days OFF!!
 
Way to go Hajini :biggrinjester:
Sounds like you are definately on track to meeting that goal by Christmas!
Way to go on getting them to do an advanced make-up class...LOL....I almost felt sick when I thought that I would end up missing all of my classes next week. Someone had put up a sign that said our PowerCore class was cancelled next Monday and on Wednesday I am having outpatient surgery done. But alas it was basically a typo. So I will at least hit my Monday class. Nothing to be done about the Wednesday night class. There is no way I'll be going to that one...not after surgery.
And way to go on not eating any of the cookies. I rarely can make cookies and not eat any of them. Either after their baked or before!
Have a great day!
