I've dropped 10 lbs in 2 weeks, but I don't think that is going to continue, so 3 and 1/2 weeks at 1-2 lbs a week, let's say 200 down to 195. 195 by Thanksgiving. Gosh, haven't been under 200 for 6 years. Going to do the little whoopeedeedoo dance when that happens!

Sure! I am currently 166. By Thanksgiving I would like to be 160 to give me a cushion because we are going to my friend's house who is like a big sister to me and she is the best cook in the whole wide world and I always have to at least TRY everything. Unfortuntely, just TRYING her stuff is a whole lot of calories. A lot of creamy things, a lot of oils - good oil like olive oil, but still!

The real question is, time2wrk, are you going to weigh yourself before or after you go over there. :-)

time2wrk

Hmmm, depends on how brave I am feeling!!!!! (Ok, I am a wimp, of course it will be before!!!)

I will join the challenge. I will have to use my meeting weigh-ins because my scales have gone squirrelly on me. By the time I get to my meetings I have been up for 4 hours, had breakfast and drank at least 20 oz. of liquids. Plus I weigh in fully clothed (no shoes though *grin*).
I will do my best to wear the same clothes each Friday till the challenge is over.
At weigh-in yesterday I weighed 146.6 pounds. I would like to lose at least a half of a pound each week.
My goal weight is 150. I am allowed to go 7 pounds under that. I can lose 3.6 more pounds.
By Thanksgiving I am going to do my best to weigh at least 145. That will leave me 2 pounds to lose. But with any luck I will lose more then half a pound a week.

Start weight 146.6 as of 10-26-07
Target weight 145.0 by Thanksgiving

Okay Melanie! I guess I don't have to continue the challenge after Halloween over on the Fitness board... Thanks for starting a new one!

My current weight 177
Goal weight by Thanksgiving 169
Goal Exercise at least 30 min cardio 4 x per week
strength & conditioning at least 3 x per week

The Halloween Challenge REALLY worked well for me as I felt guilty at night if I even considered not doing my 30 minute cardio workout. Hope this one has the same effect! Are you going to do a daily check in Melanie? Having to check in daily helps to keep me accountable...

+++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou:
