in Motivation and Support
Ok, so this may seem a little premature. HOWEVER! Thanksgiving is in about 18 weeks.

I'm a college student, and my entire family lives in Wisconsin, while I live, work, and go to school out of state. Thanksgiving is going to be the first time I'll see my family in many months.

Thus, by the time Thanksgiving hits I want to have met my goals and look fantabulous! This will hopefully help me stay ahead of and keep off the holiday pudge (as well as show off my hot rockin' bod to certain members of my lazy, unmotivated family who haven't believed I could really do this).

So, for anyone who would like to join me....

Stats now:
Weight: 180
BMI: 28.1
Pants size: 12

My goals:
Weight: 160
BMI: 25
Pants size: 8

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeet's Do it! :drinker:

*note* if you join this challenge (as I sincerely hope you will) please, please, please do not start new threads for it, (like week 4, etc). I've been in challenges that do that, and inevitably we end up losing people who just can't find the new threads.....

    I'm so in. Knowing that I won't be able to reach my goal by my birthday on Oct. 28th this will give me an extra month. I need more push.

    My starting weight:213

    Current weight: 167

    Goal Weight:140

    We can do this. :drinker:

    I heard on QVC the best time to start now is because by the holiday season comes around we are less tempted to go after the bad stuff or to quit after the season. Just thought I would share that with you.

    Hey, that sounds great to me! I'd like to weigh in on Mondays, since that keeps me motivated over the weekends... lol If you guys want to weigh in on other days, go for it!
