So 8 kilos by thanksgiving...thats umm umm 17.6 pounds!!!!....OMG... that sounds sooo much more than 8 kilos. I think I will stick to kilos.. (the number 8 sounds so much better than the number 17.6).

Thanksgiving Goal, Take 25lbs off :drinker:

Starting weight 238

Goal 213

LilynEdensmom

Current weight 187
Goal Weight 176

I figure 11 pounds is a pound a week and should be do able. I think though my job has a lot to do with it, so I might start packing a lunch, I work in a fast food and get a free meal, so yeah, if I don't see any result within a week...going to start packing my lunch

We can do this.

Lattegurl

I think this is a great challenge and I am in!!! 10lbs by Thanksgiving and will weigh on Wed.

I want to lose 25 but maybe 20 is more realistic....So I chose 23 because its my lucky number!!

sandra80

brycensmom

I'm in!!!! I just now saw this. I will weigh in the morning and come back and let you know in the morning what mu weight is for sure. Cant wait!!!!!! I need all the motivation I can get ladies. Please add me and WE can help each other do this!!!

What a GREAT response to this challenge!! You all have got me sooooo motivated! As of right now, there are 52 of us participating. If you want to see all of us at a glance, along with our challenge starting weights and our pounds to lose goal, I have made a list and pasted it on my profile page. I will keep it updated as more people join! I will also add an updated weight for everyone each week after we post on Wednesdays. this way I will be able to keep track of who is not updating each week and give them a little nudge. Hopefully we will all stay motivated throughout the entire challenge.... and beyond!

I am far from perfect and expect to have a bad weigh-in or two along the way.... but I will post regardless. I hope everyone will feel comfortable enough to do the same. We are here to support each other no matter what our results. We have eleven weeks to reach our goals.... we CAN do it.... with all of this support, how could we not?

Please post any concerns/questions/comments whenever you need to chat..... this is not just a Wednesday posting thread, thats just when we report our weekly weight loss.

I'm thrilled to have everyone here..... hope you all have a FABulous week!

OK here I go. How do y'all get those cute bars?

I am only 3 days into this.

On day ONE I broke a toe so exercise goals will be difficult, but not impossible to achieve. I'm walking slowly and hope to get into a pool.

I'm worried about this coming weekend because hubby and daughter will be away. I hope to avoid seeking comfort and company in food. Ugh.

Current weight = 190
Goal weight by Nov. 24 = 175
Ultimate goal weight = 150

I'm hoping that if I stay focused and motivated I could lose 15 pounds in 11 weeks? I might have being at the "start" as an advantage? We shall see. I may have yoyo'd too many times to get any advantage.

Thanks all!

melodys_attic

I got my bar! I hope this works?

Glad you got your ticker! That visual is a good motivator. Try to make a plan ahead of time for your weekend. If you start to feel bored or lonely, look to your plan! Have a list of friends ready to call.... have a favorite comedy dvd ready to watch.....go for a walk.... do some internet searching for new and healthy recipes.... or get on here and blog away!! This is a great site with lots of tools to help keep you on track.

Wishing you a successful weekend!

I just joined a week ago and this is my first time posting, but I think that you have a wonderful idea here! Although I'll be in Mexico for 9 days, I still think I can lose 14 pounds by Thanksgiving. This first week I lost a lot, but I don't expect to be able to keep that up!

Current weight = 176
Goal weight by Nov. 24 = 162
Ultimate goal weight = 150
