    I'll try to catch you on the next one. I swore off the scale for the month of November and focused on inches since I started strength training with a trainer. Good luck, everyone.

    Starting weight is 177.6. Don't think I will be able to find Pumpkin Pie and it would be too tempting to make a whole one just for me :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: but I promise to have a slice of something equally naughty at Thansgiving to make it fair. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Good Morning Everyone,

    “Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes." ~ Buddha

    It's Thursday and the start of our next postcard challenge! Hoping everyone was pleasantly surprised this morning as you checked your scale. I'm so glad to see that so many people decided to join us during the next two weeks.

    I am starting this morning off at 253.8. So I'm aiming for being out of the 250's by the time this postcard challenge is over.

    Have a wonderful Thursday!

    Julia

    Good morning!

    Looking forward to my first challenge...hopefully this will keep me focused during the first two weeks of counting!

    I weighed in at 158 this morning and hope to just keep shedding off the lbs as the weeks progress!

    Thanks for the extra incentive!

    I'm so in =]


    Can i suggest pics of the scale with a code word to verify weigh-ins?

    I once put together a game for a wedding shower, it was like a lottery ticket, and would be very simple to cheat and win a prize, so I marked each one of the pieces on the back.... The whole time we played I really hoped our Pastor wouldn't come forward with a winning ticket, only to check it and find she cheated.

    Since only a postcard is at stake, I would really hope that no one would cheat to win it. For they might get a postcard, but they will live with the knowledge that it was tainted by their lie, therefore only cheating themselves! Should anyone really need a postcard that badly for motivation and a friendly hello, just send me a message, I'll be happy to send out a third, fourth or fifth one!

    I'm afraid if we ask everyone to take a picture and then post, they might feel it's to much effort (I can hardly open my eyes during weigh in mornings much less find a camera!), seeing that it seems difficult to post pictures in messages anyway. I have yet to figure out how to do it. It's a great idea, and if we each promised to send the winner $5 in the mail, I would fully agree with the picture idea! But it is only a postcard... oh and I forgot... crowned King/Queen of Postcard Challenge # ___ and bragging rights too!

    Good Luck to you as well on the inches! Feel free to come back and share with us in two weeks how you did!

    excellent point, I just have noticed cheating on other challenges, but we should have faith that they wouldnt cheat right?

    well you've already done half of the challenge! you provided your starting weight...now you just need to stick to your plan and lose lbs vs gain during this Thanksgiving holiday! On Dec 2 you need to provide your ending weight.

    Here's what to do: post your weight as of Thursday (November 18th!) then in 2 weeks (December 2nd!!!), post your updated weight. Two individuals will be awarded postcards. One for the most weight lost in the two weeks and then one for the highest percentage lost. Each winner will receive a postcard from the one and only Detroit, MI. (The French city of love and romance or automotive capital, or voted most dangerous city.... take your pick!)
