    ok, guys, i've already posted that i want to be apart of this challenge, but today i got a phone call from my wedding photographer, who also happens to be an old boss/friend, and he wants to do some engagement photos this Oct. or Nov.!!!!! Yikes!!!:frown:

    So now more than ever this challenge is going to help, although i think i need to step it up a notch and try and get down to 144 by Halloween, then try and be at 138 by thanksgiving! AAAGGHHH So much work ahead! Help keep me motivated people i'm going to need lots of support!

    Thanks!

    You can soooooo do this!!! It's so much easier to do when you have such a definite goal in mind: engagement pics, wedding, big trips, etc... You are going to look great!

    Hi,

    I'd like to join! Lately, I've been losing only about a 1/2 pound a week, so my goal will be to lose 4 pounds by Thanksgiving.

    I usually begin to gain weight around Halloween :frown: , so this is going to be very challenging for me! Good luck to all :flowerforyou:

    Hope everyone's having a thin day!
    One day into it and I'm already having the munchies but resisting so far- the real killer for me will be the weekend (as usual)

    This is a funny clip of the best ever wedding dance- I thought of you Laura (the girl who's getting married)- thought you and everyone else might get a chuckle out of it!

    Enjoy!:laugh: Anne

    Good evening all-
    Just checking in. I haven't been as good as I'd hoped, but I'm stopping the eating nonsense right now and heading to my bedroom to watch tv - far from the kitchen.
    jill927, are we weighing in tomorrow morning? If so, I better run up and down the stairs a few times tonight.:laugh:

    Checking in: I have the plague. No, I just have like a cold AND a stomach flu, so I feel like I have the freakin' plague. Maybe it'll help me lose weight and not just make me so lazy that I gain weight! (Not the way I'd CHOOSE to lose weight, but i'll take what i can get)

    jill927-
    Sorry to hear you're under the weather. On the bright side, you will probably lose weight. Then, all you have to do is ride that momenetum. But, I do hope you feel better - it's not a fun way to lose weight.
    On the bright side, I think the challenge is working. I'm down 1 pound and have 6 pounds to go by Thanksgiving (I had actually gained a little after joining the challenge, but now I'm on the right track). Am off to my exercise class. Have a good day all!

    Yikes- I gained a pound!! :explode:
    Can't say I'm surprised and the weekend likely won't help me either BUT there's always next week right?

    Good luck to eveyone else. I was kind of lax on the exercise this week so it's back to the gym for me on Monday!

    My Thanksgiving is next week too but I live on the border so celebrate both!

    Have a great weekend everyone!:smile:
    Hope you're feeling better today Jill!!:flowerforyou: :

    ok guys, had a "bad" day, actually, a really bad lunch. I was so stressed at work and with wedding BS, i was craving some sonic drive in, and well, I ate an entire cheeseburger, small fries and a butterfinger blast shake.:sad:
    I'm so mad at myself, but at the same time i really, really enjoyed it. this week has been nothing but go, go, go and finally it's friday!!!!:drinker: i did lift weights twice this week, along with keeping busy, aka cleaning and what not, but still, i shouldn't have gone to eat out. And i know i should go walk the dog or something just even if it's for alittle while, but i am so wanting to sit on my deck and just have a cold one! aaaggghhhhh!:explode:

    I just got back from my cousin's wedding, and let me tell you I feel great! lol. I totally blew my cals, but at the same time one of my cousin's told me like I look like a redheaded barbie doll, and my uncle who sat by me at dinner was like "here have some bread, you're too skinny." lol. SO not too skinny, but proud! I can't believe how many people noticed! :)
