ROLL CALL!! Sept 10th, 2007

Lea, Please add me to the Halloween challenge. Highest was 378, surgery 354, today 285. My goal is 260 by Halloween. I'm walking pretty quickly right now - could it be that I may actually be able to jog?? That's my goal. Thanks!

ok finally the scale is starting to move, guess i wasn't eating enough food. i'm down to 254.....my goal is to reach 240 by halloween, which believe or not is a big task for me, being as though i'm a slow loser, so i plan to work hard ans get these pounds off.

Hey Lea, sorry so late, having computer problems. I am down to 220 this week. I guess my goals for this challenge is to get more protein in and exercise more. Hugs, Alicia

Well, I'm here, Finally......my weight....300/210/150-175

I'm jumping in this roll call. Highest wt = 423, pre-op day 356, current 303.4 - goal for Halloween - 260 - It's a high goal, but worth it. Behavior goal is to consistently track my food, and consistently get my hour of exercise in every single day. (Biggest Loser has me so motivated!) Robin!

187 today. I really hope to get back on a regular exercise schedule!

Hi Lea , I'm at 181 , which is a one pound gain . I don't think I really gained , though . Last sunday & monday I had the flu . So , I think what I lost last week was through dehydration . I was thinking that I was on a plateau , but I am two pounds lighter than August 27th . 2 or three pounds a month sucks . Oh well , goes with the journey . I have gotten tons of exercise in the last couple of weeks . Mostly yard work . Between my torn meniscus last summer & my surgery , I got way behind in my pruning . I hope to keep focused during this cahallange , get back to basics . I've been doing that pretty well the last week . Not that I was doing bad , just eating too many carbs . Most carbs are just waste food for me . TTFN Kathy

Hi Lea!! My highest weight is 328, current weight 155.4, halloween goal weight is 145. So I have 10 lbs to lose.. might be reaching but I can try! I hope to accomplish running 2 miles 4 times a week with some other stuff mixed in like weights and ab workouts.. this is what I have done all along but I have gotten lazy and not been doing it consistently. I also joined a gym so I am doing that as well when I can, its not in the town I live but its in the town I work at (but I only work 2 days a week) so if I go to that town for other things I try to stop at the gym too. I look forward to this challenge, thanks again for doing it!

Hi Lea, Well I did it again! I think I set my halloween goal for 226lbs. ...well I'm gonna have to change it again cause I just weighed myself and I'm at 226 now....lol. YAY though....that's 100 lbs. lost....so far. I will set my halloween goal for 216 lbs. wow can't even believe I typed that number..lol. My surgery weight was 326lbs. I reallly need to exercise more and try and get more water in and more protein too! I've been looking at treadmills....now if I only had room in my house to set one up!! lol.

I would also like to join this challenge. It will be my first. My pre surgery weight was 297. My highest weight pre surgery was 367. My current weight is 152 and I would like to be at 132 by Halloween. This would put me in the normal weight range. My goal is to be more consistent with my exercise. I am joining the gym at work and hopefully I can boost my weight loss.
