Ok.....I am in. I hate challenges but have been challenging myself lately to challenge myself!
9/28/2008
5'2" tall (OT-I had lost an inch prior to weight loss. figured age and such...lost 20 lbs and the inch is back! Ask the nurse about this and she attributes it to the pilates and stretching.)
Current: 148
Halloween: 143
Thanksgiving: 138
I would love to be at my goal weight of 135, but I have steadily lost 1 lb a week and dont want to upset the apple cart. There will be FREE pie if I do though!

I'm in too. I've been "off the wagon for about a month now" I need the goal and motivation. Went to my 20th High School Reunion last weekend and I HATE the pictures that were taken of me! :grumble:
5'4"
Current Weight: 157.1
Halloween: 145
Thanksgiving: 140
Goal Weight by Christmas: 135 :bigsmile:
I'm hoping that by going back to South Beach Phase I (which helped me lose 13 lbs a year and a half ago in 2 weeks) I'll get a jump start, but then I figure things will slow back down to 1 lb a week after the initial two weeks. 0 -
Count me in this challenge. I'm new to the group, but not to the struggle of weight loss. I finally invested in a PT to keep me motivated. She's come twice and is giving me 6 weeks before she returns. I'll show her what I can do when a challenge is before me. :happy:
Sometimes I think you have to write down the goal to make doing it doable.
Wish me luck.
By the way, the exercising part of weight loss is very hard...0 -
Sounds like a good motivator to me. I want to lose 15 by thanksgiving!0

I'm in.
current wt: 138
Thanksgiving: 133
Christmas: 130
Good luck everyone.
When are we going to be checking in?0 -
Hi Jill and everyone else! I'm up for the challenge. I was 138.4 today and would like to reach 132 by Thanksgiving (my baby's 20th birthday!). My ultimate goal is 125. How does the challenge work - do we just compare notes on Thanksgiving or touch base periodically before then? Also, I hope the weigh in is BEFORE Thanksgiving dinner. If I can get to 132, I'll deserve a little extra treat that day.0

I'd like to join too ... My goal 10lbs .... :bigsmile:0

I would like to join this challenge... I want to lose 13lbs in 9 weeks. That seems reasonable.
I plan to start Slim in 6 once I get it in the mail. I hope that will help me reach my goal.
Height: 5' 4"

Hey-yo I'm so excited so many people are joining me in this!! I want to look great before I see so much extended family on Thanksgiving!!
I'm hoping y'all will check in as you wish, but I will be checking once a week (probably on Fridays) to track my progress!0 -
I am in i want to play with you guy
Starting 263
today 199
halloween 190
thanksgiving 186
I know that is not much to lose but I want to lose it slow like i have been so I don't gain it back0 -
:blushing: I have never been able to lose weight... after 4 children I have consistently inched up higher and higher...but I am not going to say never --- I am getting active (walked 8 miles today) and watching what I eat. I dont care what I lose by thanksgiving as long as I am losing slow and steady!
I will get on the scale next monday-- I hate scales! - they are not my friends. My husband is deployed and I would love to be the old me... again... by the time he comes home in March for 13 days. I'm 5'4" and my dream weight would be 125 pds. I would be thrilled to reach the low 140's by March.... but to let go of 12 pounds by turkey day would be fabulous but I dont want to get my hopes up to high! Cheers to all~ please let me know how this all works!0 -
I am so impressed by how much progress many of you have made. That's inspirational and will help me meet the Thanksgiving challenge ( I hope). I only have 6 pounds to go by then, but it feels impossible. 1200 calories are just not enough!:sad: So, I will just look at your amazing weight loss tickers and be encouraged. Keep up the great work!0

EOY goal 179lbs
I was doing really good this year but fell off the wagon several months ago when my mom moved down and starting cooking and didn't have the desire to go chasing after it! Anyways, 14lbs of backwards progress have told me it is time to get my butt in gear. I have been doing good on the fitness part, just finished my first half marathon on the 20th. I run slow, but I run... so that counts for something I guess! Now I just need to start paying attention to what I eat.0 -
Okay I'm in...with Halloween candy and fall pies and treats coming, I'm going to need some accountability to keep me on track.
Current weight :flowerforyou: (first time I am actually posting this number) 303 :grumble:
