OMG -- I jsut realized those pictures were before the father's day challenge(the before), not the begining. I am not sure how much I had lost in thsoe before, but it was not my starting size, weight. I will have to post some real befores, maybe then I can see the 40#'S better.

Still looking for whooshi - I'm gonna chase that fairy down from yesterday straight through till Monday morning. If a full weekend of roughing it in the wilderness (except for the huge amount of stuff I'll bring from home, set up in the woods, repack, take home and unload again) doesn't do the trick, nothing will. (and NO toasted marshmallows for me, either!!!

BJS your new picture is very inspiring - look at the difference in the thickness of your upper arms, belly, chest and chin!

Way to go!!

Morning ladies!

No loss to report for this week. I think between the almost whole bag of pork skins this week and TOM holding pounds captive, I just wasn't meant to lose this week. I'm a little bummed, but not too much so. Hopefully it just means I'll have more of a loss next week with TOM hits the road

Great way to look at it, Christine -- and I'm sure you're right!

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

I think I'm looking at not losing this week too. TOM is due any day now and I just feel like I am stalled, but that might go with the emotional side of PMS. I'm keeping a sunny outlook on it though! And I plan on working even harder so that next week I lose doubly as fast!!! That's the theory anyway.

Hope you are all doing well today! I can't believe Halloween is approaching so soon!!

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

Hi everyone!! I will officially report 1 more pound this week. Will run over and report in the other thread later.

BJS, great pix! You definitely can see a difference ... and imagine the real difference if you had posted pix from the right time frame!!

Boonie, love the "don't paint the devil on the wall." Gonna have to add that one to my vocabulary.

Cher, awesome news on the jeans. Wearing the smaller clothes is truly an awesome feeling!!

I love any and all stories about dogs. Just love 'em in general. We have a cocker spaniel right now who is the sweetest most gentle dog there could be. But she's pretty boring. We didn't have her as a puppy so we didn't get to form her personality. She won't play at all! Just loves you to death. (I'll take that.)

But when we first got her (at age 6), we tried throwing popcorn at her as a snack. We had two other cockers who would leap up and catch it -- they're hunting dogs, remember!!??!! Well, this one, duh, you throw the popcorn or whatever, and it just hits her in the nose. Bonk!! It was pretty funny in the beginning. Needless to say, we don't do that anymore! This dog don't hunt!!

Hey all, just checking in! No weight change for me.... I've been away at training for work since yesterday. A night alone in a nice hotel room --- ahhhhhhhhhh!! Not complaining! Didn't cheat - except for wine. Didn't weigh. Will weigh in the morning and see how I'm doing.

You all are such a great inspiration to me - newbie that I am.... You're so cool and level headed about this weight loss thing. I feel like I'm seriously obsessed! But I'm afraid to let up just yet. Has been such a struggle (at least compared to previous efforts in my life) to lose the few pounds I have lost. Do not want to give them back!!!

Keep up the great work! I'll be posting my first weight loss soon!

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

Hi Everyone... Haven't stopped by in awhile because I've been pulling some late nighters this week and haven't had a chance to get online. I have lost another 2 pounds since my last weigh in... only 4 more pounds to lose before Halloween. Not too bad.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

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

Hey girls....196 this morning. I'm happy about that. Onward and downward right?

I'm at 7 lbs total for this challenge.

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

Hi everyone, sorry I've been absent from here so much lately. But there isn't any news for me still, except that TOM decided to show up during my camping trip this weekend.

I resisted so much food and got so much exercise it's ridiculous, yet the scales still won't budge. (Well, yes they do, but the can't seem to make the middle number a 7 yet!) Sigh...

It doesn't look like I'll be among those that Lose 10 lbs by Halloween or have already. Maybe by Christmas???
So it really is "Trick *NO* Treats" for me, I guess.

Well, gotta split...

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

Boonie, you still have about 3 weeks...a lot can happen in that time....especially after that rat ******* TOM goes on his way.

[Adena]

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

Yay, Liz and Joy!

Boonie, Joy is right -- 3 weeks is a long time! Don't give up hope yet.

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

Adena - Congrats on your Loss!! WAY TO GO!

Boonie - Hang in there -

Joy - Only 3 more lbs to go! Nice work!

Believe - I'm so glad you joined us! Congrats on your loss!

Liz - It's good to see you! It's great that you only have 4 more lbs to go!


I can't report any loss yet TOM is here and things are at a stand still! We will see here soon.

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

Hey ladies!

I can't report an official loss yet but the scale is moving downward. After mega-bloat from TOM's visit, this pleases me greatly

You're all doing fantastic...so many close to challenge goal or over!

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

Hi checking in. Wow, it is amazing how much weight is being lost as a group. Good work.

I am at the same, but not worried, as my body fat ratio has gone down again this week to just over 29% (from a high of over 34% in June). So I am gaining muscle and losing fat, while my clothes are getting looser. I am learning the art of patience now.
