Lose 10lbs by Thanksgiving (CLOSED GROUP)

I wanna say thanks for creating this challenge. Most of them i joined in the past i either lost interset or the leader dropped out. This challenge has taught me a lot of things but the bigest lesson is to be consistant. Even if i don't reach my goal i've enjoyed trying and i will continue the things i've learned in the future.

I feel good, I feel motivated to keep going. Lost 4 lbs right away & nothing for the past two weeks, however my clothes keep feeling looser, so I know that is still a good thing even in the number on the scale isn't changing. I still would like to lose the other 6 by Thanksgiving, not sure if that will actually happen, but I will continue to make the effort.

I am extremly thankful to jcgooden06 for creating this challenge and one that has some mini challenges within it, love that. Makes me work that much harder for Friday's! Also to all that are in this group, you are all are so amazing at keeping everyone motivated and on track! so a great big THANK YOU to this group.

You all are gonna make me cry :sad: I am loving yall thoughts!! Keep them coming!! ALSO If yall want to keep this going I am gonna do ANOTHER challenge Nov 28th. That one will go up to New Years!! I already have the name for it!!

I am so in!!! Sign me up lol :laugh:

Girl you know I am all in...Lets Do it!!! :bigsmile:

I am struggling with staying motivated. I have recently gotten stuck (I've been basically the same weight for 2 weeks). I don't know what I am doing wrong, I eat more then half of my exercise calories back and I work out 60 mins a day 6 days a week. I burn 600 calories a day from exercise. I just want to see movement on my scale. I feel like giving up.

Have you been doing the same exercise for a while? You might want to switch it up. Also, even though we gain extra calories when we workout, you might not want to eat them all back. Try to have the deficit so that you can get out of your plateau. These are just suggestions. Stay encouraged.

I'm so on board for the New Years challenge. I'm already making my vacation plans for 2012 . Can't wait.

Ok, so the days are counting down and don't think I am going to make my goal for the challenge. But I can be competetive. So part of me wants to do the last five pounds part of the body type diet, but only for the week. Still other part says just be satisfied with the changes that I have been making and continue to make.

The last weigh in, I was down 2 pounds. Since then, I have had an uptick, but I am super bloated, and retaining water for sure. Not to mention (tmi) not eliminating normally. So expecting a drop in a few. But still...dunno, accept the positive, or push harder...will see

Anyway, overall I am so very thankful for the challenge. If it weren't for it, I would not be exercising. I still indulge in "treats", but overall I am eating healthy, and I can see he change is permanent. So I am not bummed.

Hey girls, sorry I went MIA. My grandma passed away on Friday and I ended up with my daughter in the ER on Sunday for 5 hrs. She gets croup a lot and it was really bad this time. The funeral is over, my daughter is better, and I'm ready to get past all the craziness and get back in the game. I don't think I'm going to hit my full 10 lbs, but this challenge has been great. I'd love to do another one.
