    Oh my gosh...... Perfect timing. I just started back on here and back on my journey.....i had a back injury and gained just about everything back I had lost. Now I am back at it and can't wait to pass my old weight and finally reach my goal :)

    I am in! I only need to lose about 25 total, so I don't know if I will lose all 20-25 by then, but I will definitely try!

    I am down 2 pounds since Tuesday. It is probably just water weight but it is still encouraging! I am excited about this! I want my in-laws to notice I have lost weight! I am tired of carrying all this extra baby weight around. My son is almost 2. I should have had this off a long time ago!!

    I know how you feel! My daughter just turned 2, and I'm still carrying around the extra weight. Let's do this!

    Good morning everyone!! Great run this morning- didn't get to eat breakfast until 8 though (3 hours after I woke up)- which irritates me- and it was only a yogurt, really wanted some egg whites with turkey but my youngest was a bit of a hound this morning (she's 18 months).
    Have a good Friday everyone

    New to the site but I would love to join the challenge! I need as much support as I can get :) I love the comment that it is not about luck--for me it is about commitment and remaining conscious of my food/exercise choices.

    CW:202
    GW: 170 (i'm 5'10" tall)
    goal for Thanksgiving: 182

    I am doing the 21 day Quantum cleanse and have lost 8 pounds so far and feeling really good. As I get used to this vegan thing, I haven't been exercising much but plan to add that in starting today! Will all the heathy food I am fueling myself with and the added exercise, I believe that I will meet my goals!

    Have a great Friday everyone! Let's go into this weekend with our eyes on the prize!

    I agree with you, 1-2 pounds a week is would be great but anything that comes off before Thanksgiving would be a definitely blessing. Keep up the good work I know we can all do this.
