    What a great challenge and right for when I'm shooting for my target goal anyways (my brother is getting married Thanksgiving weekend)!

    SW - 135
    CW - 132
    GW - 122

    I weigh in Mondays, but will post Wednesdays as directed. :tongue:

    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!

    GW151 by Thanksgiving

    I thought an average of 1.4 pounds/ week would be reasonable.

    Good Morning Everyone! Very excited to jump start this challenge:

    SW:: 169
    CW: 169
    GW: 150

    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.

    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!

    SW 220

    CW 200

    GW 190

    Starting weight - 323.5
    Current weight- 309.6
    Goal weight - 300.0

    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 this

    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!
