September Challengers: Post your Finals Here!!!

Sadly, I'm still at 191. But happily, I wasn't trying very hard, so it's
nice to know that even when I don't try too hard, just staying with the WOE
allows me to maintain.

How did you do?

I was visited by the Whoosh Fairy this week. After losing nothing
last week, I was down three pounds this week. So I made my goal of
four pounds for this month.

This brings me to the magical number of 150 pounds. Next loss will
take me into the 140's, which is territory I haven't seen in years.

And I _really_ need to get a couple of new pairs of jeans. These size
14 ones I'm wearing are getting really loose.

Hi, Carol Ann!

I'm am SO very happy to report that I'm down to 196 (maybe even 195, but
let's call it 196). I must have had a 'whoosh' of about 3 pounds. It took
me to my '100lbs Lost' milestone, too. I can see my goal ahead of me---I
KNOW that I'm going to make it!!

What worked for me? I think really counting the cals and keeping my carbs
close to my CCLL (still trying to discover it, but I think it's around 30).
Also, I credit a new, less obsessive attitude toward losing.

Thanks for the challenges!

Congratulations to everyone on losses and maintenance!

My goal for this month was to lose 5lb, and get within 3lb of my goal
weight, but that didn't happen. I am still at my start weight for
Sept. I'm glad I didn't gain anything, and hope to do better next
month.

In my case, redoubling the efforts backfired. The stricter I got with
the food choices, the more I binged. So my goal for October is to
concentrate on getting my emotions under control and stopping the
binging. I got Overcoming Binge Eating book by Fairburn. Let's see
if it works.

Thank you! Last time we checked she was 2 feet 2 1/2" tall and weighed
nearly 18 lbs.

That was more than a month ago. Morgan will get her next check up on
October 5th. I believe she will be at least 2 feet 4 inches tall and weigh
20 lbs. She is in the 96th percentile. It's shocking to me.

She already has 3 1/4 top teeth and her 2 bottom teeth. She's 6 months old.
Morgan can sit up on. Hold herself up on the side of the playpen and crib.
She can make it from one end of the room to the other in no time at all.
Are they supposed to grow this fast???

How is your little one??

Madison is gorgeous. Clearly, the girls have the same hair trait! LOL!!

Morgan is much chunkier (as I'm sure her mom is too) than Madison. What big
blue eyes she has!! Beautiful girl!!

I hit my September goal of 164 (or 'under 165' as I was thinking) this morning.
Not a day to spare, LOL!
