Thanksgiving Challenge! Open

My son turns 3 on Thanksgiving this year. We will be visiting family and I would like to amp it up and get to my target weight by then. It is about 8 weeks away so I would like everyone to shoot for 1 or 2 pounds a week for a total of 8-16 pounds for this callenge. I also would like to see everyone list their goals clearly and what their rewards will be if the attain them. In your initial post say why you want to join this challenge, what your approach will be, and your biggest challenge or expected set back to getting there.
