Roll Call, Wednesday, 09/30/09

[gxi1247]

Good morning to all,

So how did the month of September go for you all? I am down 1 lb for the month. I guess I will take that as a victory considering I had my wedding and honeymoon, which I did not stay lc at all. I mean come on we had 3 different flavors of wedding cake, I had to try them all.

So what is everyones goal for the month of October?

I want to be under 205. I am also doing the 6 week exercise challange which starts Sunday 10/4 (5 days of exercise a week). That would be good for you to join if you need that extra motivation to kick it up a gear.

Last night I ran 2 miles in 18:45, and I only walked twice. Hopefully next time I can get a lower time and not walk at all. Also I am working out tonight.

And I weighed in today 211.6.

Have a good day

well, big congrats on the wedding - how exciting. I just celebrated my 24th wedding anniversary this week - and I still like him [and I think he still likes me ].

September was GREAT! I'm down 7 lbs as of today, that is just so exciting. I had a really hard time with these dam* 230's, been struggling with them since June, but since I became active on this forum, it was able to get them off pretty easy.

I was considering doing the 6 week - am already doing a water, squat and ab challenge, plus climbing a mountain so not sure I should join another - but I still may do it. Bought a Wii a while ago and really need to get back on it!

Have a great Wednesday!

Congrats on you wedding!! Wow.. how fun!!!!

I have several goals for the month of Oct.
1 – Induction for the whole month
2 – the water challenge - I said I would drink 120 oz a day
3 – wt train 5 days a week
4 – burn 500 cal 5 or 6 days a week

I hope to be down to 190 by end of Oct…

Right now my weight is 199

Good luck to ALL … we can do this!!!!

Good morning all!!!

I just finished week 1 (induction) and lost 2lbs. I did fall off the wagon last night--why I don't know but I've jumped back on. I love this board and hearing about people's successes--it makes me realize that you can get right back on the wagon. This month I will work on:

• Continuing Induction (I'm still trying to read the book)
• Increase my knowledge and skills of my new way of eating while traveling (I am a heavy traveler--on and off flights throughout the week and eating with customers)
• Getting my required water intake
• Introducing exercise in my life (whoever is running--how did you start? I would love to get that into my life but without injurying myself or setting myself up for failure).

Thanks everyone!

Tiggy - there are lots of exercise challenges out on the forum, many starting tomorrow and plenty of ongoing ones.

I'm here! September was a good month, lost a total of 14 pounds during my 4 weeks of induction. Sticking with Induction through October and my goal it to be cheat free the entire month. I also want to sign up with one of those exercise challenges, but not sure which one

November 1st I have an appointment at David's Bridal to try on my wedding dress again and see if I can get into the next size. I am dedicated to this WOL more seriously than I ever have been and I promised myself that if I can fit into a 16 I will have them exchange it for a 14. I then have until May 1st and two additional sizes. So, the goal is to be a sweet 10 by my wedding on May 1st. I haven't been in a 10 since I was 12 years old. Sad but true.
