I'm probably not going to come and post every week (also, I weigh-in on Mondays and I don't like to have too many weigh in days ), but I'll bookmark this thread and pop back in at Thanksgiving to share my weight. I would like to be 230 by Thanksgiving! I feel like that is entirely doable if I stick to my plan

Good morning all - I've been stuck at 182 all week - maybe tomorrow my official weigh-in will be better. There's a reason I only count Wednesday - weighing every day makes me nutty!

I've already been to the gym and have laundry going - if I could just get in a session at the tanning salon, I guess I could audition to be on "Jersey Shore." LOL. I tan without trying - sometimes that's worse than not getting any color at all!

Also got the potted tomatoes and peppers watered. Now to clean the kitchen . . . Such an exciting life! hope everyone has a great day.

I am determined to be to goal by next June, so a few challenges along the way are probably a good idea. I'm totally in. I didn't WI this last Thursday though since I was still on vacation. I will post Thursdays from now on though.I would love to hit 140 by Thanksgiving, but I will consider anything between 140 and 160 to be success (1-2 pounds per week).

Edit on August 25: We're about 1/3 of the way though this thing and I only have 6 pounds to go until I reach the high end of my goal weight range. I have decided to lower the high end to 155!

July 08 - 179.4
July 14 - 173.4 (-6)
July 21 - 170.8 (-2.6 / 8.6 total)
July 28 - 169.4 (-1.4 / 10 total)
Aug 04 - 167.8 (-1.6 / 11.6 total)
Aug 11 - 168.8 (+1 / -10.6 total)
Aug 18 - 167.4 (-1.4 / -12 total)
Aug 25 - 166 (-1.4 / -13.4 total)
Sept 01 - 164.8 (-1.2 / -14.6 total)
Sept 08 - 162.2 (-2.6 / -17.2 total)
Sept 15 - 161.2 (-1 / -18.2 total)
Sept 22 - 160.2 (-1 / -19.2 total)
Sept 29 - 159.8 (-.4 / -19.6 total)
Oct 06 - 157.8 (-2 / -21.6 total)
Oct 12 - 154.8 (-3 / -24.6 total)
Oct 20 - 154 (-.8 / -25.4 total)
Oct 27 - 156.4 (+2.4 / -23 total) - stupid shingles, stupid steroids! Hmph!
Nov 03 - 153.4 (-3 / -26 total)
Nov 10 - 155.4 (+2 / -24 total)

Since my WI day is Wednesday, I just updated my original post. I'm -2 for the week. Good luck to all of you who are using Thursday for this challenge. I'll look tomorrow for the results.

Good time for a challenge, Angie - looks like you have lots of challengers in here. I'm hoping this really keeps me on track because I'd LOVE to be at my goal by Thanksgiving.

Well I just scored a 3.4 lb loss for last week! So excited. I also graduated to another decade! I am officially in the 250s.

I am down 6 for this week, though quite a bit of that is almost certainly water since I just came off of vacation for a week, during which I was totally off plan and gained 10.6 pounds.

Do you all think this it is too much to lose 25lbs by Thanksgiving? Should I say 160? Wouldn't that be more healthy as well as realistic?

I think 2 lbs a week MAX is healthy. that would be 38 lbs. However, since you are at a smaller weight Id say 1-1.5 lbs a week. so 19-28.5, at that calculation 25 is entirely possible! On the 4th of july challenege I aimed super high knowing that if I made it at least halfway I'd be happy and guess what? I made it a little over halfway! I am 7 lbs away from my 4th of july goal. and 17 from my labor day goal. Will I make it? Who knows. Is it entirely posible? Sure!

Thanks SMSDREAMER I appreciate your input. And since 150 was my goal for last year and I only got to 165 which was my lowest in Sept 2010. I would really like to achieve it this year
