Hi everyone, I'm in for October. I need to get back on track. Sitting out last month wasn't a good thing for me. I gained alittle but I'm ready to do this. I would like to lose at least 2 lbs a week for the month. So I'll be exercising a whole lot more than I did before, not much in Sept.
My thoughts and prayers are going out to those that need it. So good thoughts to everyone. I'm so glad I'm back.

I don't know if anyone answered this for you, but you go to www.myfitnesspal.com follow the steps for creating an account (it's free) and at the end it will give you a code, Copy the BBcode and go under your profile on here and paste it into the signature box.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to all the new people.

MJ I love the idea of haveing to post that way we get to know each other better.

As usual I can't remember what the FQ is supposed to be for Sept. can someone remind me?

Had my EEG yesterday and met with the neurologist. I was in for a shock. I thought all these symptoms I've been having have come from low blood sugar but probably not. I have ambnormal brain wave which indicate mini seizure activity. It would also explain my migrains. I really didn't want to find I was having szrs but he said as long as they are not grand mal I can still drive, I just have to monitor myself. He put me on a med called topomax which can interfere with other meds I'm on but rith now it's for a six week trial and if I have any problems I'm supposed to contact him right away. Not what I wanted to hear but not nearly as bad as others on this thread.

I'm off to weigh myself for the beginning of October - I record it on the calender so I remember cus guess who doesn't have a good memory! Then I have to be out to church early to meet the church quilters as we are draping all the quilts we made this year in the santuary for all to see tomorrow. It's quilt Sunday at our church.

Prayers to all that are ill. Will try to check in later.

I'm in, of course. I lost five pounds last month for the first time in a long time. Even if you subtract two because the insect bite reaction pounds, I still lost 3 and that's good for me. Actually it was more today, but it'll be back as soon as I can eat.

I am losing weight and getting healthier. I truly am on both counts and I appreciate the encouragement I've received here.

OK lady, we want to know when you are not feeling well - period. Don't you dare think it too minor. What would you think if I had said that? Now, we understand you not posting because you were too sick to. But you know someone is gonna miss you!

Consider yourself scolded. (with love, as always)

We are here for each other, through thick and thin!

I applaud your 5# loss this month.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

I would like your discussion on this issue, either in PM or on the thread.

MJ

This new suggestion met with all positive remarks so it is now a requirement to win the FQ. How will it be monitored? When you send your weight loss to me in a PM at the end of the month, I will check the thread to confirm you have logged in at least once weekly. IF YOU HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED AT LEAST ONCE WEEKLY (OR INFORMED US THAT YOU HAVE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES) THEN YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE COMPETITION. We need your input, strength and hope.

I hope every one of you meet your goals this month. This is a lifestyle and health change that can prolong your life and definitely improve your quality of life.

Pick your goal for the month and Go! for it!

I was a lurker for a long time. My day's not complete unless I check this out what's going on here. I was diagnosed with diabetes Oct 2010 and have lost 67# this last year. Right now I'm stuck and not losing like I was. So this is a wonderful opportunity to get more support and maybe get some fabric if I am lucky enough to win.

WOOHOO, 67# is awesome. You HAVE to share how you did it!
