    I am in also I want to lose 25lbs or 2 pant sizes. Its a huge goal for 2 months but I want to be in the healthy range before the end of the year. And my husband has lost 2 pant sizes in the past month. I HATE HIM! Not really but I hate that he loses weight so fast.

    Halloween 165 or size 14
    Thanksgiving 155 or size 12
    Christmas 145 or size 10

    Kels, to get your ticker ---

    go to Tools
    Make you ticker
    get the code for the ticker by copying it
    then paste it the first time and thereafter it will update automatically.

    Ok.....I am in. I hate challenges but have been challenging myself lately to challenge myself!

    9/28/2008

    5'2" tall (OT-I had lost an inch prior to weight loss. figured age and such...lost 20 lbs and the inch is back! Ask the nurse about this and she attributes it to the pilates and stretching.)

    Current: 148
    Halloween: 143
    Thanksgiving: 138

    I would love to be at my goal weight of 135, but I have steadily lost 1 lb a week and dont want to upset the apple cart. There will be FREE pie if I do though!

    I'm in too. I've been "off the wagon for about a month now" I need the goal and motivation. Went to my 20th High School Reunion last weekend and I HATE the pictures that were taken of me! :grumble:

    5'4"
    Current Weight: 157.1
    Halloween: 145
    Thanksgiving: 140
    Goal Weight by Christmas: 135 :bigsmile:

    I'm hoping that by going back to South Beach Phase I (which helped me lose 13 lbs a year and a half ago in 2 weeks) I'll get a jump start, but then I figure things will slow back down to 1 lb a week after the initial two weeks. :wink:

    Count me in this challenge. I'm new to the group, but not to the struggle of weight loss. I finally invested in a PT to keep me motivated. She's come twice and is giving me 6 weeks before she returns. I'll show her what I can do when a challenge is before me. :happy:

    Sometimes I think you have to write down the goal to make doing it doable.

    Wish me luck.

    By the way, the exercising part of weight loss is very hard...

    Hi Jill and everyone else! I'm up for the challenge. I was 138.4 today and would like to reach 132 by Thanksgiving (my baby's 20th birthday!). My ultimate goal is 125. How does the challenge work - do we just compare notes on Thanksgiving or touch base periodically before then? Also, I hope the weigh in is BEFORE Thanksgiving dinner. If I can get to 132, I'll deserve a little extra treat that day.
