[American] Thanksgiving is 12 weeks away (okay, technically 11 weeks and 6 days).

I would like to be under 300 pounds by then. I have to lose 23.1 pounds to reach 299.9. This means I need to lose just shy of two pounds per week to hit my goal, which is definitely possible if I continue to stick to my habits.

Would anyone else like to join me? We could have weekly progress reports, thoughts/quotes of the week, whatever people want.

For those who would like to join us but don't celebrate Thanksgiving, the date is Thursday, November 22.

    I maintained this week, which was my goal since I was up north for Labor Day and had very little control over the food. Luckily, a lot of my relatives brought healthy options to the potluck, and I ate small servings at my parents' house. I gained a little water weight since we went out to eat a couple times (stupid sodium), but it's gone already. :)

    Because of this, I need to lose 2.14 pounds per week to make my Thanksgiving goal. Previously, it was more like 1.8. It's still achievable, but I have to stay focused.

    I'm In!! OK, so I live in Canada and my Thanksgiving is right there in the middle of this challenge, but I so need something to focus on.

    I believe we can do this - especially if we keep each other on track! :bigsmile:

    I'd like to join! I have a trip to Vegas planned for Thanksgiving so it's a nice cut off point for me!
