Yeah I only gained a pound this month.  Hopefully if I keep up the healthy eating and excersing I will only gain 20 to 25lbs for the pregnancy.  I guess I am going to move myself over to the pregnancy forum this month and try and join one of those groups since I will be starting my 2nd trimester this month.  Its been fun and thanks.  Restless girl you do an excellent job with your challeges.

I had a pretty bad week and by Thursday I was really discouraged.  My weight had gone back up to 164 for you to have an idea.  But somehow I pulled it together on Friday and was good all weekend -aside from a few beers here and there :)  And I was able to go back to 161 today which I hope to stay at or go down more.  So now I only have 11 more lbs to go!!!

Thank you all for the motivation!  Good luck on your journey.

Final verdict: gained 1.4lbs

Up 1.5 pounds.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I've been at 129 for a week now, and I've burned enough to (supposedly) have seen a difference.  But there's nothing and it's starting to drive me nuts.  No goal weight for me this month, and I'll be back to PMS-ing in another 10 days.  I guess if I can see 127 by the end of the month I'll be happy. No 127 for me!  I've been holding steady at 129, so next month I'm going to do more measurements and work on eating cleaner.  I won't be weighing in for a few weeks so I won't be doing the October challenge.  Good luck to all who are doing it!

I hope you'll accept my late weigh-in tomorrow.  I didn't get into work until later today and after my three cups of coffee, bottle of water, banana and egg breakfast my weight is sure to be off.

I won't be weighing in for a few weeks so I won't be doing the October challenge.  Good luck to all who are doing it!

Ditto.  I've gotten too pound obsessed lately, and I don't think it is helping.  I have my own personal goal to remain on track with my calories, and exercise plan until 10/24 (and no bingeing!).  If I can do that, then I don't care about the lbs (at least that's what I'm telling myself...)

Good luck to everyone next month!
