Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Checking in again this week, great to see everyone's results. This is thread is great with the encouragement and advice given from all. Keep it up!!

No change for me this week. However, I have really stepped up the exercise and my body fat percentage has shot down from 34 to 30 %, so I am hopefully gaining muscle and losing the fat anyway.

Rose - Your body fat moving from 34% to 30% is a h-u-g-e change. That's really GREAT!
Congratulations are in order!!!

Thanks Cher,

This challenge has made my really knuckle down, so a big cheer should go out to those who spend the time and effort to encourage others on this journey - thank you.

It has taken some time, but in the last weeks the results are starting to really show and are very encouraging. My clothes are beginning to be far too big, but I am determined not to buy anymore until I have lost some more!!

BTW, you look great!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Hey everybody, what's new around here...I have not dropped by, since I weigh only once a week. I am doing good, eating good exercising aLOT...hopefully that will reflect weight loss...It's that part I can't control... I know I am closing in on 30lbs...I am sitting at 28...I wonder if I will hit an up and down phase again? My daughter is really stuck, as far as scales and numbers go...in two months, she is only down 10lbs consistently...then she dropped to 15 pounds on Sunday, and is back up 5 pounds and now down one pound...It's driving me crazy, but she knows nothing about it, since she closes her eyes...
We are biking, and hiking and walking and talking...can't beat that!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Oh thanks Cher. I really have a hard time seeing it, esp in the scrubs....BUT they are Med scrubs, not Lg--YEAH!!!

But giving all the comments, I guess I am making some progress.

Thanks..

Silly-- yeh he is a goofball too--lol-- He sits and retrieves, but is so clumsy walking and playing--BIG FEET/FLOPPY EARS; and he cries like the baby he is.

I am so glad he is feeling well and my companion.

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Oh bjs. I know what scrubs are like. I had a best friend who I stayed with while he was going through his residency and I wore his scrubs all the time. I was really tiny at that time and I felt huge in them. But, you never look the way that you feel. I actually think they are cute on... and they are actually quite comfortable... LOL. Well his were cause they were pretty big on me!

Note... The Med scrubs are not lg... doesn't that feel great!!!! That alone is incredible progress bjs!!!

Puppy sounds adorable!!!
