Congrats to everyone on their goals. I was aiming for a 4 pound loss…..I went the wrong way and had a 5 pound gain. I know it will be somewhat temporary. I had no intention of letting nearly two weeks of vacation get the best of me…however it did. I’m back on plan and want to see 10 pounds gone in October. I did horribly on my goal and don’t drink coffee so feel free to leave me out!

Well, as you know, I wrote on my blog about making my goal. I was so excited. Even though it was a really small amount of weight, I never thought I'd get here. Thanks for having this little challenge. It seems the motivation helped most of us! .-= debby´s last blog ..Today’s Thoughts =-.

I stuck to my goal, but it was a fairly easy one (except for the really stressful days!). Didn’t drink wine on weekdays, just weekends — except for one dinner out.
For the next challenge I’ll aim to trim that down to one night a week TOTAL and make it a non-habit. As in, I can have it if I really want it, but don’t have it every Sat night just b/c it’s my “routine” to have it. Amazing how fast habit can step in, and then you have to differentiate your cravings from your habits!

Well, I blew it on my September challenge goal. I’d wanted to get into the 170s. I’m actually up 2.4 since 9/2, right at 185.6.

I learned something, though, which should be obvious now: scale goals are so elusive as one gets closer to goal, and perhaps setting behavior/habit-developing goals will serve me better. Need to ponder this some more….

I lose 3 lbs this month, I just wanted to make it to onderland and I did tonight *big smile*. I cried like a baby. I also did well with getting in more veggies this month. .-= Dawn´s last blog ..Do I want it enough? =-.

I hit mine! Mine was for 4 lbs and I lost 4.5 lbs. That is nice since I have been at a stall in weight loss for MONTHS. .-= Karyn´s last blog ..MIA and weekly goals… =-.

Pfft, I still say you totally hit your goal!!! You looked awesome in your anniversary dress anyways, you should be proud of that!

Not really sure how to “measure” my goal. BUT, in the past month I’ve used my new kitchen more than I used my old one all summer. So that’s something! I’ve been lagging a little this week, I baked muffins and used my crock pot, but that’s it. I’m trying to whittle down my fresh food in anticipation of my vacation, and to be honest, I’ve just been craving really simple foods. Can’t wait to start experimenting again when I get back though

Nope I didn’t reach mine. Goal was to lose 7 pounds and I didn’t.
And I wanted to work out 5 times a week but did only about 3 a week. I did have a cold which made it more difficult to workout but that was only one week.

So no excuses: I blew it

I hit mine, which was the same as yours – to lose 4 pounds. I actually was down 5 pounds on Saturday, but alas, the scale showed only 4 this morning.
