Thanksgiving Challenge - 08/17-11/23 // (CLOSED GROUP)

136 today. 134 *is* posssible by Thanksgiving, and 130 *is* possible by Christnas........trying very hard to stay motivated!

Is it next week that we measure again?

You can do it! :flowerforyou: Measure today.

AWESOMENESS!!!

Way to go Ash!

I'm down 1 1/2 pounds this week . . .

but considering yesterday was my 39th birthday (and friday my son turned 14) i'm thrilled with that!!! :-)

Hope everyone had a good week and month with measurements!

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week's measurements:

MEASUREMENTS:
Neck: 11.5
Chest (men, & women-beneath breasts): 31
Bust (women across breasts): 37
Waist: 29

Upper arm: 11

We're in the home stretch, everyone!! How are you all doing with preparing for this week? I'm trying to get some extra exercise in most days, leaving myself a bit more of a deficit each day than normal, and am carefully planning Thursdays menu to be a treat but not a sabotage. Whew! I'm keeping my deficit to 100-200 under goal, rather than keeping it as close to goal as possible. Instead of doing one dvd, I'm doing 2 every other day. Today I can hopefully get outside and walk, if the weather cooperates. And fresh veggies are on the menu for Thursday - I'll start with a cup of raw veggies as an appetizer, then enjoy just a little of everything else.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're in the home stretch, everyone!! How are you all doing with preparing for this week?

Just continuing to focus on water and calories. I've also been working on increasing my protein the last week and I will continue on with that. Been more active the last few weeks and I'm hoping to keep it up so I can increase that too.

As of this morning I'm down 23 lbs from when we started. So, even though I won't make my original goal of 34 lbs I'm not complaining one bit! I'm not under 300lbs like I had hope to be now but I know I can do it!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Way to go on being down 23 pounds!! You can do this - you ARE doing this!

Still 135 today. Sigh. One pound over what I wanted for today, but still........great challenge! It sure helped keep me focused! Are we supposed to measure today? I think I will.....:laugh:

i lost 1/2 pound this week. making me down a total of 19 1/2 pounds of the challenge.
I've never done measurements before this challenge and it's amazing to see where all the weight went!

Thanks!

Thank you for the great challenge! It really helped me keep on track when my internal motivation was starting to wane!
