Check-in for the STAC halloween challenge

[knicknack]

So, it's that time! How did you all fare on the "5 pounds by Halloween" challenge?

For me, I'm not sure. I use two scales (one at my house, one at my boyfriends) and so it's a little strange. What I do know is this: I had lost 2.5 pounds prior to this week according to one scale, and I lost 3 pounds in the last 3 days according to the other scale. So, while I don't know what the first scale would say, surely I can add those two together and come up with 5.5, right?

So, I am going to claim a hesitant success, and will wait to claim victory until tomorrow when I'll be able to use the first scale!

how about everyone else?

I lost a few pounds right after I signed up, but I don't think everyone had been in yet, so I am counting my weigh-in after the No Way challenge which was 8 pounds, 2 pounds this past week, and 1 pound on Monday, so 11 pounds. )

I hate to admit this, but I did not mark down my weight. But I KNOW in the last 4 weeks I have lost 8.5 lbs... I GAINED SOMETHINGS IN THAT LOSS, DID YOU?

I know it is important to set and reach for goals and they actually help us reach new levels we would never have stretched for...

Everyone who worked this challange is farther ahead because of it...Stronger because of it, more focused and dedicated than before...Your charcter is stronger too.

The very things that hold us together and keep us going, can't be measured by a scale or tape, they are measured in our daily activites...Growth can be measured...

If you did not reach the goal, don't give up til you do...From today forward, grab it tighter, change something up, work a little harder, don't give up...keep pressing til you reach it! then you will be that 5 lbs lighter...

Quitting is the only thing that will keep you from your dreams and goals...it's the only thing!

How about a x pounds by Nov. 30th challenge, to help us get through turkey day without cheating?

Re: Check-in for the STAC halloween challenge

Since I was doing Induction when we started, I did not count the 9 lbs I lost in that time. Since then, I have lost 2. And now my scale has been at in-laws 2 hours away for a week...so not sure what the final number was...


Congrats to everyone for your losses!!!

I think that sounds like a great idea... maybe we can tackle one holiday at a time, or one month at a time, just to get us through the holidays? What does everyone else think? Thoughts?

Sorry, I missed this challenge. I didn't see it at all, or I would have signed up. I did the Trick No Treat Challenge though and lost 10 pounds in that one. I'll be watching for your next weight challenge for sure.

Re: Check-in for the STAC halloween challenge

Well, perhaps a 5 pounds by November 30th challenge is in order then. Or maybe everyone can put their own poundage goal, but no more than 5 I'd say.
