ebh, nicki, cherlou & niky, Welcome! We're glad you found us. The official weigh in will be this Tuesday. Just show up and post your current weight (as of 12/8) (abbreviated as CW), and your 4-week goal weight (GW). A realistic goal would probably be around a 4 pound loss, considering the holiday challenges we're bound to…

:flowerforyou: Hi Rose, I know we can help each other achieve our goals. Thanks for joining us! Susan

Welcome, MommyMac! I'm glad you can join us.:flowerforyou: Susan

This is an example of what our posting summary might look like: Unfortunately this website doesn't allow us to post directly into a chart, but I can take the info and post it as a chart.

Jittery, Rascheer & pmckenna, Welcome! More details about the challenge in a few days. Meanwhile, tell us a little bit about yourselves. -Susan

Hi k1 and brit. Welcome to our group! :flowerforyou: I'm excited for this challenge. I know I can commit to this for four weeks. It feels like we're entering a land mine area, with the holidays quickly approaching, but we can help each other navigate a safe path. I would feel so proud to show a loss between now and Jan.…

Hi Verda, Welcome to this new thread! I agree that posting every day not only helps us stay accountable, but it also makes the thread much more interesting (and we get to know each other, too), which is much better than just checking in only to report our weight on Tuesdays. I highly recommend checking in daily. What does…

Hi SMW, I'm glad you can join us! :flowerforyou: More details to follow. Susan

Hi Tamara & Pollart! Thanks for the quick reply. I'm excited to start a challenge. Tamara, your success is amazing! You'll have to teach us. Maybe we could spend this week getting to know each other, and bring a new group together. What do you think? I did okay over Thanksgiving, but I'm going to need help over Christmas…

Oh No, Emmie! I'm sorry. Take care of yourself.

Congratulations to all 12 who saw a lower number on their scale this week. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 1 T....................... -1.60%....... -3.2 lbs 2 B...................... -1.45%....... -3 lbs 3 Nicole516...... -1.13%....... -2 lbs 4 Alison.............. -0.87%....... -2 lbs 5 Lorna.............. -0.842%.....…

Lorna, that would be a wonderful accomplishment for you, especially with Thanksgiving tomorrow (unless you're north of the border, then you have already weathered that storm). Hopefully our slow and steady progress means it will stay off for good. Actually I feel pretty good about the impending feast. I feel more in…

I just burned the spinach, which really smells awful. Maybe that's a sign that I wasn't supposed to make spinach/artichoke dip! But I won't accept that....I have more spinach. :devil: Have a wonderful holiday. I will post loser percentages tomorrow evening. P.S. I forgot to say, Nicole, what a pretty photo of you! T…

Thanks for the compliment! We have become addicted to our morning walks, and we'll use all of our creativity to stay outside as long as possible. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hi Tamm, See you tomorrow! I agree, any weigh-in is a good one, since it shows that I'm still working at it. Susan

Alison, You're too cute. Sodium points. :laugh: My name is Susan, and I am a recovering potato-chip-aholic. Heck, it doesn't have to be a potato chip, any type of chip will do. I :heart: salt. But, I've been working out regularly (and perspiring every time), drinking lots of water, along with some added menopause night…

Never have I ever eaten a raw oyster (or mussel). Or cooked ones, for that matter. Although I love most other shellfish.

Minny

Weaklink, I'm so sorry to hear of your tragedy on Hamilton Mtn. That is different from Dog Mtn, but both certainly have their similar challenges. I am so sorry to hear of what you all must have experienced on that fateful day. About the weather, I'm okay with the rain and cold, but that wind is another thing. I couldn't…

I heard a great saying lately, that I keep repeating to myself, so I thought I'd share it. :heart: Don't eat until you're full. Eat until you're no longer hungry.:heart: That really resonated with me. Maybe that will help you, too? I hope everyone had a great weekend. Susan

And homemade Butter Caramels.:ohwell: :ohwell:

Come to think of it, Meringue cookies are low in calories, but personally, they don't cut it when I really want Scottish Shortbread.:ohwell:

Hi Rosemary, I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser, and they offer a smiley app. Do you use that browser? If so, I can give you more details. Barbie, even reading your post was very scary. I would hate to get that call about my husband. I'm glad all is well. How far away is he? Take care, everyone. Susan

Like Nana, it's my oldest daughter's birthday, too! Have a great day. Susan

Birdie, Thank you for your kind compliment! Your family is beautiful, and your babies look so very happy. How lucky you are to have so many blessings.:heart: Take care. Susan

Melanie, You're welcome! -Susan
