Picked a 25 pound loss.. that's about 2 pounds a week, so as long as I stay the coarse, and I WILL. It should be doable. Jodie, I copied your chart for my page, hope you don't mind Thanks for this challenge.. getting me excited for the holidays and it is still 90 something degrees outside. 0 -

I get really upset and hard on myself when I dont make weight goals, so I set my bar at 1 pound a week for the next 11 weeks. However I am going to move my bar if I lose more than a pound in any given week. so it will always be the number of weeks to go times 1 pound from my current weight. I am excited to have something to keep me focused until thanksgiving.0 -
Starting weight 203.5
Current weight 203.5
Goal weight 188
I chose to lose 15 lbs in eleven weeks. That is a bit over a pound a week. If I stay focused I know I can do it.0 -
And we're off! Finally! Up until yesterday I was going to set a goal of 25 pounds, but realized that may be more than I can do right now given my track record over the past few months! So, I'm setting my goal at 20 pounds for this eleven week challenge. I CAN, and WILL do that!:happy:
Starting weight: 206.9
Current Weight: 206.9

I'll be checking back later to read everyones goals!
Have a GREAT day..... let's start working those pounds off!!!!!

SW - 135
CW - 132
GW - 122
I weigh in Mondays, but will post Wednesdays as directed.
I'm really hoping to be 120 lbs by Thanksgiving which would be 5 pounds lighter than when I got pregnant last year, so I'm giving myself a few pounds gap for a 10 pound loss. I will get rid of this last bit of baby weight!!
Good luck to everyone! I'm excited to be in a challege - it's my first too!0 -

19 pound loss! I cannot wait to say that for real! I started off the week with a bang. Have logged my food. That's the key everyone. You have to count every morsel. I also love to run (well not really haven't felt those endorfines in a while!:laugh: ) my lastest obsession is Zumba!
Good Luck to all. Look foward to hearing your messages.0 -

I'd like to join this, too. I will be visiting family for Thanksgiving and they have not seen me since I started losing weight over 2 years ago (and almost 100 pounds ago!)! I started at MFP at 220 but have been stuck at around 200 since I quit smoking in April. I plan on losing 10 pounds by November 22 (when we leave for Phoenix) and THEN my plan is to not gain anything during my visit!

Ok I hate challenges I never make it but i'm in need to get on the ball again I set my challenge low so I do not see this big number to lose.
I got a new scale a while back and it read more then what my old one said I do think I weighed more when I started but I left it as a gain (but I really think I weighed more when I started January this year) I need to get back on track and start losing again.
Good luck to you all we can do this0 -
I've decided on 16 pounds. That's about 1.5/week. I can manage that!
Start: 195
Goal: 179

Great posting by the way!0 -
I am loving everyone's excitement so far!!! Wow, some of you have already lost a great deal of weight.... Congrats to you! Please feel free to offer any advice to each other along this challenge.
I have a work dinner to go to tonight at a restaurant that I have never been to, so I have no idea what I will be eating. I'm a bit nervous. I've had a very small breakfast and lunch to help with my overall calories for the day. It's all about choices, and I will be sure to make smart ones tonight.
I will check back in when I get home tonight to read more posts!
