Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Wow Meena-Beena and Chelsey, you both are doing great! Keep it up!

This is probably the off week for me. Seems I have been having those swings from week to week. I will know for sure on Monday. Boy my clothes are sure getting loose though. I have to hold onto my pants when I undo my belt otherwise they will hit the floor! I guess it is time to get some new ones. I was hoping to hold out till I got closer to goal, but they are starting to look like clown pants! They do kind of go with my shoes though. What do you think?

LOL! Well, Don... while those are some really groovy shoes, my vote definitely goes toward getting at least 1, preferably 2, pairs of pants that look good on you now. You don't have to spend a ton... just get some that fit better. You are going to look so great in them, that it will give you a boost of enthusiasm and spur you on. Sure, these new pants will get big on you in time... but they will still look a h*ll of a lot better when they get a little big, than the clown pants you're wearing now. Go for it!

And speaking of boosts of enthusiasm! Coming here this morning and reading about everyone's great progress is very motivating... I am so proud of all of you. It is so much fun when we do this together. Julie, this was a great idea and I know how incredibly busy you have been lately. We truly appreciate the time and effort it takes to conduct the challenge. Thank you!

Don, I was going to come here and post some time today about this week potentially being an off week for me, too. I don't think that I have gained... but after the kind of week that I've had, I just don't know if I lost. I've eaten out a couple of times in the last 3 days and I didn't get in quite the amount of exercise that I usually do. So, we'll see... tommorow is weigh day and I will let y'all know.

Here here on the motivation this challenge has created....and Don's awesome shoes. I need to find me a pair of those

Thinking good thoughts for weigh-ins this weekend!

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Don, how dare you borrow my shoes without asking! Next time, warn me first, OK? I went to the local #458 Chapter of Amateur Circus Clowns meeting today and looked like a fool because I had to wear flip flips with my clown pants...

I think this week will be an "off" week for me too. TOM is now 5 days late (and counting) and I'm going to be SORE for a while from today's workout...

Hello

Just a quick update, as today is weigh day. As suspected, I didn't go down 2 pounds, but I did go down 1 - I'll take it! Brings me to 8/5 lost.

We've got 3 1/2 weeks left, people... plenty of time... let's make the most of it... good luck!

[gonnabskinny]

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Good Job Mitzi! You are doing great and very consistant.

Julie, I'm sorry about taking your shoes!!! LOL I am sure that they forgave you. Hope you didn't blow them out when you stepped on a pop top, and have to limp your way back home! I'm not sure that the booze in the blender would be a good idea before weigh in! LOL

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Still stuck with 2 pounds down. Going to try to rev it up to get rid of the other 5 by Halloween.

Great job, everybody--let's keep up the great work!

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Great job, Mitzi on that 1 pound. I'm thinking a new siggy picture might be in order if that one says you were in the 140s and now you're sliding closer to home in the 130s.

No changes here....I'm currently in a holding pattern of 189 to 190...it bounces up and down every other day, but I'm keeping it at 189 because I figure my body can't decide what to do. I keep telling it that it's okay to scoot down to the 180s a little further..just like my kids..it won't listen.

Hope everyone's having a great day!

[Mickkey]

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Lost 1 pound! So add another to our total Julie. Thanks for having this Jules, it's really pushed me to try harder. And, you look great in red! Nice picture.

[2BME]

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Everyone is doing very well! Congrats Mitzi and Mickkey on the 1 pound gone for good! I am hoping to pull a Mitzi and shed more over the goal I set!

Hi, Everybody

Thanks so much to everyone for the congrats on the pound - you're great at making me feel good.

Apple, I think that you are right about my needing a new siggie pic... although, I think that there is not that much of a difference between then and now. We all love new pics, though, so why not?

Barry (DH) took a few shots of me before he headed off to work this afternoon, but the light was screwed up in the full body shots and they didn't come out right. This head shot came out OK, so I will post if here for 'ya.

As soon as I can get another body pic, I will update the before/current pics in my siggie. Thanks for the interest!

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Mitzi---it is small, but I can see a thinning face between the last picture you took and this one!! Wowzers! I'm sure the body pics are just as skinny

Mickkey---Yea on the -1! You're traveling at a pretty good clip! Nice job!

2BE---lol....me too..I'd love to be beyond my goal before the end of the challenge.
