Hi everyone!
Since no one else is posting, so I guess I will. October is almost over! That means you only have two months to lose 10% of your body weight. That is really not a whole lot of time, but definitely still do-able! I want to encourage everyone to remove any obstacles that stand in your way. Think about what is holding you back and remove it from your life (if you can). If your obstacle can not be removed (eg spouse, parties, temptations, etc) then you will have to figure out how to live with it.
Something that has really helped keep me motivated is starting a streak. This may be # of days you did well on your specific diet or days you worked out. Think how great you will feel if by the end of the year you have a 64 day streak of some sort.
Only 2 more days till weigh-in. Kick it in gear!

Why do you want to lose weight?
As we move into Week 3, are you feeling motivated or discouraged? I was thinking today that it would be important for all of us to really be thinking about why we want to lose weight.
For me, I was just tired of talking about losing 30 pounds, but never really doing anything about it. When we came up with the 12 week challenge I really liked the idea of losing this weight before the end of the year. I am sure it has been my new years resolution for like 6-7 years now. On December 31, I want to be able to say that I accomplished what I set out to do.
Another reason why I also am wanting to lose weight is that I am not getting any younger and working with the elderly reminds me, on a daily basis, how important it is to take care of yourself. Before you know it, you will be 60. For me I want to enjoy retirement. I want to play with my kids and grand-kids and travel the world. I dont want to restrict myself by dealing with health issues that are a consequence of poor decisions that I made years prior.
What is your motivation? Post in the comments below.

5 pounds of Fat
This was from Jeremy in an email. Okay, I know, look past the crazy lady, but look at the 5 pounds of fat she is holding. Imagine, as a group, we've lost about 31 pounds at last weigh in. That's 6 times the amount of fat this lady is holding.

| 5 pounds of fat |
Now imagine a 5 lb bag of potatoes. Now imagine carrying 6 of those bags...
Imagine how great we will feel when all this fat comes off of our bodies! It is pretty impressive!
punch myself in the face
Hey everyone
I just thought I would punch myself in the face and give myself a bloody nose that way I can lose 1/2 a pound like Desire........ha ha ha ha ha ouch ouch ouch. Just kidding but that is hilarious.
So I just caught up with everyones personal blogs ( Sam, Desire and Amy) looking good everyone. I personally will not be doing a personal blog as of now because I have no idea how to do it, maybe in the future, eh. But for now this works I hope. I am going to make it a habit of posting every Sunday after weighing in, but I wanted to let you all know that I am keeping track of my daily intake, weekly measurements and weights See all you who are going on the hike tomorrow.
Love you all
