We need to keep motivating each other with discussion and tips. I am hoping to lose 20 pounds per month, so I should be down 40 pounds by Thanksgiving but I will take 30!! I am on Medifast 5-1 Plan and have lost 5 pounds on the first 2 days. Drinking 8-12 glasses of water, no alcohol, and my blood pressure has already dropped 10 points. I was drinking too much wine and eating too many carbs. I am tracking my calories and carbs, as well as protein and fat. Found a miracle protein food, now don't laugh, but I love tofu... it has no carbs and high in protein!! I am focusing on a healthy diet with vegetables and all plant based diet, doctor says that is the healthiest diet!! No more desserts, meat, and limited dairy. Once I get to my goal weight, I can add fruit, beans, grains, but right now the focus is on lean protein, vegetables, meal replacements, and water ..... AND it is working!!:happy:

I am not on any special diet. I am trying to follow the 40/30/30 format which has been a little trickier than I expected but I have lost 12 lbs on it so far. I am also doing combinations of cardio and strength training. I feel like 14 lbs by thanksgiving is a reasonable goal!0

Not really on any special diet, I am just going to try to stay within my calories with mainly protiens and fresh fruits and vegs and stay clear of processed carbs and foods.for the first 2 weeks I am going to not eat back my exercise calories aswell. I feel 14 pounds is a very attainable goal and if more happens then bonus!! I would like to see 15 pounds gone but turkey day . good luck everyone ! so happy to be part of this group0

Can't wait......and ready to drop 14lbs! This is my 1st time joining a group but I've followed some. I thought this one is perfect because I love Thanksgiving and would be at my goal weight if I lost 14! Thanks for starting this.
I've been working out 5/6 times a week (cardio MWF, strength training TThS and yoga W). I work four days a week in the AM and volunteer in the afternoons. My evenings revolve around the kids' activities which involve some late evenings and Saturdays which makes eating healthy a challenge. Thanks again for starting this and so happy to be a part of this group also!0 -
Yeah Challenge starts today 10/1/12.......Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!0

I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred today. I survived day 1! I am really excited about all this. I went back home in August and I haven't been back. I didn't tell anyone that I was working on losing weight. People back there are not the most encouraging sometimes and since I have failed the mission before I feel like they expect me to fail. And for the rest, I didn't want to tell them in case I did fail and if I didn't it would be a surprise. Anyway, I am headed back around Thanksgiving and I would love to be down another size and just shock everyone.0

Despite blowing my diet on Saturday, I'm still on track... Lost another pound somehow... Considering doing that Shred or something... but I hate exercise!0

I'm on day 3 of level 1 of that 30 Day Shred. It's kicking my butt. It takes me twice as long to walk places now!
The best part is that I've stopped thinking about how fat I am and instead am thinking about how it hurts to move... anything.
