Whoops, I managed to miss a couple of weeks. Was holding steady till Labor Day weekend camping trip did me in. Managed to gain 4 lbs over a 3 day weekend! WTH??? Slowly getting it back off but still UP by one pound since the last time I posted. ...sigh...

Up a pound this week. No way I'll loose 13 lbs in the next week. This month was slow for me, due to a lot of stress and long working hours resulting in some bad eating and food choices. I'm also at my set point relative to weight and, in the past, it always seemed to be difficult for me to break through to the 160's, but I'm determined to do it. Things should be easing up within the next month so I'm hoping to see some progress during the month of October.

Finally weighed again. Who knows where it will bounce next week. I can tell for certain it won't be my goal though.

Well, it is the 23rd -- the first day of Fall. Time for my last post. Down 1 pound from last week. But I didn't reach my goal. I made nice progress. I'll take what I got with a smile . Contrats to all that stuck with this challenge. After all, that is the point. Stay motivated and keep plugging away at it. Do that and we will reach our goals.

4 pounds in 3 months? That's pretty pitiful!!

The gods of weight loss decided to gift me with a HUGE WHOOOSH this last week. Seriously, 3 pounds gone since last week. I have NEVER had that large of a drop in that short of a span so I'm doing happy dances and trying to figure out WHAT I'm doing differently b/c, as nearly as I can tell, I'm eating and exercising pretty much exactly that way I did thru the entire month of August and the first two weeks of September when I could not lose a pound to save my life. This last-minute WHOOSH means that actually made my goal!!!!

OK - Now that this challenge is over, how about doing one more to get us through the rest of the year? I was thinking of something like 90 days to New Year's - On-plan through the Holidays Challenge. October 4th is exactly 90 days from January 1, 2016. Soon there will be holiday goodies at every turn. There will be parties, celebrations, and holiday dinners to navigate. I thought it might be fun if we posted the carb loaded foods and pressure situations that come up and report our NSVs for not giving in to the temptation.

Staying on-plan through the season is the goal for me -- but even a plan to just maintain through the next 3 months isn't such a bad idea either. We just need to try and make it through the holidays and reach the start of the traditional 'weight loss' season with no regrets.

I was thinking to follow the same format as this challenge. Start weight on October 4 and goal weight for New Years Day -- with weekly posts of our current weight.

If anyone is interested - let me know and I'll set it up.
