"Lose a Whole Person" Challenge
FamilyHost_Annabelle - September 30, 2008
Tomorrow is the first day of October. I propose that tomorrow we record our weight (for our own eyes, of course), work hard all month to lose as many pounds as we safely can, then tally up the results on Halloween. I think that if there are enough of us, we could possibly lose a whole person - a ghost from our past that we may never have to see again!. Any takers?

  Well I gained the pound I lost last week, but that's exactly what the doctor ordered, so I'm okay with it. I didn't have any trouble adding 500 calories to my food plan, that's for sure. Paul made lasagna, so that helped!

Way to go, Erin! That's great! That makes 84.5 for the "Lose A Whole Person" Challenge. Would you like to add that to the "Our Weight Loss Tally" at http://family.go.com/community/groups/lets-lose-together-grp/our-weight-loss-tally-4236/?

I've been doing more exercise than normal (shoveling snow and chopping ice!), which I think is responsible for my 3 pound weight loss this week.

That makes 87.5 for the "Lose A Whole Person" Challenge. I'm going to head over to Our Tally and add this. Join me! ;-)

Well, since my last post I have dropped 11 pounds. I have been more aware of what I am putting in my mouth and eating smaller portions. I do however need to step up my walking. I am feeling better and that is what I want most.

Jessica, that's WONDERFUL! Keep up the good work! Walking in great exercise, and the nice thing is that you don't need any fancy equipment, just a good pair of shoes and a place to walk. ;-)

Pop over to "Our Weight Loss Tally" (which is a challenge that started this year) and add your weight loss to the tally!

That makes 98.5 for the "Lose A Whole Person" Challenge. Woohoo!

I weigh 175pds and want to end down to 125pds. I 'm starting to have health problem, I can't play with my daughter like I did before. I hate the person I have became, I want to change and feel good about my weight and myself. By spring I would like to be able to coach soccer without losing my breath and feeling tired!! That is my GOALS!!!!!

Those are great goals! A healthy food plan is important. You should make sure your doctor is away that you want to lose weight and get a recommendations from him/her.

I follow a 1500 calorie diabetic food plan which includes snacks. I started this plan in September when my husband was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. What I like about it is that I'm never hungry. If you go to my food diary, you can see what I've been eating, although I haven't posted my daily food in several days but it's written down on paper in my kitchen. I weigh and measure everything that's not already pre-measured. That's what works for me.

By melaniecom

Hi melaniecom! Good question! We started this ongoing challenge to see how long it would take us to lose as much weight as an average adult weighs. We're about 2/3 of the way through and members can join at any time and add their lost pounds to the tally! Feel free to join us or just cheer us on. :)

The other challenge, "Our Weight Loss Tally" started at the beginning of the year and is ongoing. You're welcome to join that one as well (http://family.go.com/community/groups/lets-lose-together-grp/our-weight-loss-tally-4236/).
