Hey guys!!!

Summer's 'bout over!!! Let's get a jump on the holidays and blow our friends and families away at Thanksgiving.

I love the idea of the Thanksgiving meal being a reward for achieving my fitness goals!!! Guilt free pumpkin pie!!!

My present goal (and i just started) is to loose just over 2 pounds a week, 30 pounds by November 25th 2010.


I need some help, encouragement, and FRIENDS!!! Let's support each other and celebrate in 3 months!!! (Im scared haha!!!)

    Just a bit of cautious advice - I don't like to use food as a reward. Part of the reason I got big is because I would "reward" myself or "celebrate" using food. It seems a bit counter productive.

    Good luck on your journey!

    Guiltless pumpkin pie would be great. I'm trying for 2lbs a week I have a cruise in April and would love to look good in a bathing suit for the first time in many years..:love:

    Hey "Thekit" that's good feedback, appreciate the heads up.

    I totally agree with you! Eating as a reward, to cope, cause we're bored, etc. can get us in trouble!!! Like 30 pounds overweight trouble haha. (Feels convicted) :)...

    In the midst of exersizing and eating better, Im gonna try and do some mental and emotional work as well. OMG that "onion" has a lot of layers!!!

    If you peel back the layers one at a time instead of cutting thru you save a lot of tears.

    Can I join if I want to lose 15 by Thanksgiving?? I already lost 27 and would LOVE to be down 40+ by Thanksgiving. I want to make my goal a little lower because I am sure I will plateau at some point. Also, my 10 year reunion is the weekend of Thanksgiving. Talk about motivation! Good luck to all!

    Sooo I know no one else posted on here but I wanted to finish my goal. So I would just like to say that I did lose 15 pounds which was my goal and I still have a couple weeks to go!
