I would also like to join although I am a day late also.
My starting weight was 180 lbs on Jan 1st, did great for awhile then gain some back, started again two weeks ago.
Current weight is 162 lbs.
Goal weight is 135 and then I will re-assess.
Goal weight by Turkey day is 142 pounds, with weight loss set at 1.5 pounds per week.
I drink a ton of water, I am a water horse, I easily drink at least 128 oz per day so I am good in that department. Like to walk and jog for exercise, also ride a really old exercise bike that also moves your arms that I hate.0 -
What day is your birthday? Mine is the 22nd. So mine falls on Thanksgiving every 7 years also. I was not born on Turkey day though that is kinda cool.intresting fact......I was born on thanksgiving and every 7 yrs my bday lands on thanksgiving :laugh:0 -
OMG 128 oz of water I would be in the bath room all day long. I feel like I am there all the time now and I only average 60 oz.I would also like to join although I am a day late also.

(also may go to doc see if somethings wrong cause my dad whos a doc sees me working out 5 days a week and what i eat and says something isnt right.) ive been able to get back to my hour walk since the fractured toes so im happy happy happy and feeling productive again im not weighing in for a week or two just so i get back into things and it was my bday sun and while i didnt cheat i need a week but i will b here all week long0

I think it is a good idea to see a doc. I am glad that you are seeing a change in clothes though. I think that is more important.yup lol i want to lose 60 but i have been told 30 so we will see. i really am not going by scale i am going by i want to look and feel good (flat stomache toned body and all) especially since the scale says i weigh almost back to my original weight and the clothing that i havent been able to fit in is fitting and a bit loose so im all confused by the scale.

I almost forgot... I DO think we should keep the thread the same... Finding the new thread every week was kind of a pain when we did this before!!!
I would like to suggest that you change it once a month. If there are a lot of postings, it begins to get unmanageable after about 30 days. This system works well with the two other threads that I regularly post on here.
I already have a goal of being down 70 lbs by the end of 2009, so adding an intermediate one at Thanksgiving couldn't hurt.

Thanksgiving Goal: 187 lbs/ (down 57 lbs.)
Ultimate Goal 125 by 4th of July 2010/ (down 125 lbs.)0 -
Once a month is MUCH more manageable than once a week!!! I second that suggestion...0
-
I third that suggestion! :drinker:0
-
OK sounds like we will keep this thread so that everyone can find it more easily and then I will post a new thread in about a month. I will make sure and let you all know when I post the new thread. Here to a happy Saturday everyone! I have to get drinking some water.0
-
When you post the new thread you can include the link in this thread. For some reason other links don't work on this site, but MFP links do. I'm in a cycling group on MFP and on Sundays, I post a new link for everyone to check in and paste the link into the previous thread and everyone justs clicks over to the new week :happy:0

Hi Everyone, I would love to join (a day late I know:blushing: 0 )
Here are my stats!
Current Weight: 169
Thanksgiving goal: 150
Ultimate Goal: 127
Oh, and I need to drink 69 oz water/day. I think... Math isn't my strong point. 0 -
Since my weight today is 190, I divide it by 2 and get 95 then 20% of 95 is19 and I subtract the 19 from the 95 and get a daily total of water which is 72 oz!
Wouldn't 95-19=76? I know it's only ounces difference, but if you're being strict with it...0 -
hi i want to join too!! good to see some familiar faces
current: 153 (summer's rough)
goal for TD: 138
final goal: 130
i am drinking water as we speak also 0 -
Good Morning All:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
When my ticker re appears, it will show that I am now down 34 lbs.(If you are a stickler for details, technically it is 33.5, but the TICKER says 34, so it goes)

Ultimate Goal 125 by 4th of July 2010/ (down 125 lbs.)
BTW, in regard to when the thread changes, I am glad that there is positive support for a once a month change. Since this thread started late in August, may I suggest that the first "new thread" change take place on October 1st, and the 1st of ea month thereafter.
That will make it easy for people to follow and anticipate the change. BTW, anytime you want to post a link in the OLD thread for the NEW one, all you have to do is create the new thread, and after you make your first post, go to the address bar on your browser and copy EVERYTHING in it , including "http/..etc and then go to the OLD thread and post a message about the new address and copy it in.
Good luck everyone!! That turkey better watch out on Thanksgiving because I am going to be looking foreward to nibbling on him big time!!0 -
I'm a little late as well but would still love to join. I really engaged in a healthy lifestyle while I was preparing for my wedding. But one year later, I'm 13lbs heavier and have lost a lot of motivation. Being part of a group will really help get me back on track. I need to get drinking on the water as well!
Stats below.
Now-130
By Oct. 15- 120
By Turkey Day - Maintaining 117 - 120
Good Luck to All!!!0 -
I haven't been doing so well with my water, but I am on track today!! Whoo hoo! Helps to mow the lawn and get thirsty!!

Good Afternoon!! Im a day late myself! but would love to join
My current weight is : 373
My ultimate Goal: 160
My Turkey Day goal : 340
My gosh if i figured it out I need to drink 149 oz! I was never really good at math...but i think its right!! :drinker: better get started!!0 -
So, I drank all my water and then some... It was almost TOO easy. Would someone mind helping me check my math? I think I either got wrong, or I'm just naturally more thirsty than most people.
According to my calculations, I need to drink about 69 oz since I weigh 169. Yesterday I drank about 90 oz water plus 2 cups coffee, 2 glasses of Crystal Light, and 2 glasses of wine. AND I woke up 2x in the night PARCHED! What am I doing wrong here?0 -
In my experience the more water I drink the more I want and that is why I drink up to 128 oz or more a day, my body craves water.0

Good morning, all... I got up at 4:00 this morning to make sushi for my husband to take in to work... :sick: Obviously, I'm not functioning very well right now!:laugh:
I'm making it my goal to run later today, and get some laughs by doing a cardio video with my daughters... They always make things interesting!0 -
Haha this looks like a great thread, I'm in!
I'm usually pretty alright as far as drinking water goes, in fact, I probably drink too much because it's a habit I formed when I started working at a chocolate factory ( Mainly when you're allowed to eat all the chocolate you want, you learn to drink 3-4 litres a day or you wind up with horrific skin lol)
How many ounces in a liter? 32?
But anyways, trim for turkey down sounds awesome!
SW:170
CW: 155
GW for turkey day! : under 140, even if its 139.8 haha
UGW: 107-118 .. I'll know when I get there.
ps. Miss Resa, I'd absolutely love you if you could share some tips on making sushi, I bought some mats, but mine always turn out a mess, and I'm never sure what :flowerforyou: to put in them.. thanks!0 -
ps. natroyster, coffee, alcohol, and some diet beverages act as diuretics, which means they cause your body to eliminate water, so generally speaking for every glass of coffee or wine ( not sure about the crystal light) your body is going to need an extra glass of water :flowerforyou:0

Hey everyone! I am one day late, but can I join anyways? I would LOVE to do this challenge!
According to the formula, I need to drink 79.6 oz of water a day, so I'll round that up to an easier-to-remember 80 oz.
Starting Weight: 206lbs
FP Starting Weight: 199lbs
Current Weight: 199lbs
Thanksgiving Goal Weight: 183lbs
Goal Weight: 125lbs

It really helps if you dip your hands in water before touching the rice; it keeps it from sticking to your fingers when trying to spread the rice out. As for what I put in them... I do not do anything raw! I'm too much of a chicken to try! I make California rolls or Alaska rolls(I live in Alaska). Pretty much for the California rolls I use imitation crab meat, avacado slices, and cream cheese. For Alaska rolls I use smoked salmon(ours is homemade!), cucumber, and cream cheese... Hope it helps!0 -

@ pepamint83 congrats on giving up soda that many days. I have long since stopped drinking reg soda and only have diet. Now, I've stopped drinking it all day long and just have one or two a day - but I find it difficult to make the final break. I actually like water, but sometimes, a girl just wants a little variety. I keep meaning to start making iced tea, but maybe I should try crystal light again - haven't had it in years.
I'm ALMOST meeting my water goals - I seem to fall about 1 glass short in the evenings and don't want to chug a lot right before bed. I'm starting off with 3 glasses, but I'm falling off mid-day. Going to try another water load after lunch.0 -
Hi All:
I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! I know I did
Mondays are my weigh days, and got on holding my breath! I had a wedding over the weekend and probably drank more than I should have!
BUT! I lost 4lbs this week!
So, it goes a little something like this:
Starting weight:324
Current weight:319
Goal by Thanksgiving:275
Ultimate Goal:175
That means I have 44 more lbs to go!
Hope everyone is doing well!
