Well done Crowning_Glory keeping up the healthy habits. I'll bow out of the next one, but good luck to all who enlist!!

I can't believe we are nearly at the end of this one - where did the time go!!??

It's official.  Today I got on the scales and I have lost 15kgs!!!  I am so happy and I think it's a really nice way for me to finish off this challenge.  Thank you to Surfstar, Marlin, Hyena Cub, Crowning_Glory, Brightside and many others who have offered their support

I now want to lose about 10-12kgs to get to my target weight

That's great, way to go KiwiMLP!

GREAT NEWS!

I am struggling. Emotionally the musical is killing me. Sadly hubby is not being supportive so I have to get over it myself. Normally I can take a day and cry it out and have a hug when I feel low and back up to normal the next day. Well now that its me...its going into like weeks...sigh. Emotional eating is being confused with not want to touch a sandwich....blech.

Sadly I am starting to sneak other foods into my lunch from time to time.

I dragged my butt to yoga today.  I've been sore from the addition of the yoga, so my legs were unhappy with me, lol.  But I made it through the whole thing and then when my husband took me out to dinner, the restaurant had a folder in the back with gluten-free information so I could choose more easily.  They even marked my order with "allergy" so it wouldn't be contaminated with the other foods.  I am not sure how much gluten I can handle without a stomach ache yet, so I'm being overly careful... so far I seem to actually be very sensitive to it, which is interesting because I've always loved bread.  Stomach pain was always "normal" for me, so the fact that I've felt amazing since the diet change is a new thing.

No real weight loss to report, but since I was barely exercising at all until last week, that's ok.  I haven't gained anything in the last couple weeks, which is good at least.  The real goals will be for the next round, since I'm finally to the point where I can do something about it.

Thank you everyone for your well-wishes.  Crowning_Glory, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.  I really hope it helps a bit that you can come here to vent your frustrations.  Here is a virtual hug for you

Sorry I haven't been able to update lately. The power cord for my laptop broke. I ordered a new one and realized that I order the wrong one once it got here. Then I ordered another one, but the seller got it out late and took nearly a week longer to get here then it should.
That also meant I didn't have access to the aps I've been using to record my goals and points. So for the past 2+ weeks I have no points to put into my excel sheet. :<

But I have been doing very well. Still loosing weight. School started which means I get to run up and down the stairs all day and walk home. I've also been packing myself a healthy lunch because the food they serve us there is terrible.
I'm still doing some workouts on the side if I don't have too much homework and I plan to still try and do the challenges that I missed.

Should I continue counting points from when I where I left off or try to guesstimate how much points I got during that time?

I kindof fell off the bandwagon. I can't seem to find the time to exercise, what with working extra, and eating healthier has went out the window because of financial restraits. We've had to survive on hot dogs more than I care to admit. It will eventually get better but right now I am just not able to eat the way I want, nor find the time to exercise!

[ZennaBug]

Tribble.  That's the hardest, I had a period this summer of cereal and ramen.  I hope things look up for you.
