Hey, Kiki - I was wondering where you were! Hope all is well. It sounds like you're on track for making steady progress again. Hope the last week of the challenge is kind to you! I'm sure Eric will notice the difference when he gets home - especially since he'll be looking for it. It will be nice to see his reaction.

Wow can't believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away! It went quick! I weighed in at 233.8 this morning so I have a week to lose the last 2 pounds I need in order to reach my goal- I had a big whoosh this week so I'm not sure I'll pull it next week but I'm going to continue getting my cardio in and eating right and hope for the best. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Kylonaa - I just noticed your 2nd mini goal and I have one thing to say - Thanks goodness PA doesn't have your weight on your license! LOL! Keep up the good work. After a whoosh, 2 pounds might be a lot, but look at how close you are! Fantastic!

Very frustrated right now. It seems like TOM is getting ready to make his appearance, so I'm retaining water like you wouldn't believe.

@Lin- yeah, I doubt more than 10% of the state has their true weight on their driver's license... mine wasn't even true 11 years ago when I got my license but it was only off by 10 or 20 pounds.. nothing like the 58 it was off by in the end! I remember one time my dad went in and his was off by at least 100 pounds... the lady asked if he wanted to change it and he asked why it mattered... she said it was so if you disappear the police will have some details to go on when looking. I always thought that was a silly reason so maybe it is something that will go away soon.

232.6 this morningless than a pound away but will be perfectly happy if that's where I stay for tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I'm using today's weight for my final weight for the challenge. I was 161.0 and that's right where I want to be. Next weigh in will be the first Wednesday in December. That should give me time to undo any turkey damage! LOL. Have a great day everyone.

Turkey Day is here. I'm +2 lbs from my goal and that's fine. I was darned close.

Better still, all of my "goal size" clothes now fit. 1x shirts and size 20 jeans (brand new AND straight from the drier). I went out and bought a size 16/18 pair at Ross because I need new goal pants. They look small. One day, they'll look really big.

I didn't do too bad at all! 242.4 this morning, so only .6 off from my goal. Happy Thanksgiving to all and hope your day is filled with fun, family, friends, and food, in whatever proportion is most healthy for you!

I decided to weigh in today to see just how much damage I did over Thanksgiving. I was 162, so that is up just a pound from last week. I know the official challenge was to meet a goal before Thanksgiving, but I thought it made sense to see if I was able to get through the week without undoing the good that was done in the past. I'm good with the 1 pound. Hope everyone did well, too.

I lost 16 pounds during the challenge and ended the month at 210.0, which is exactly where I started the month... considering I was out of town for almost 3 weeks and went on two cruises during that time frame and had Thanksgiving with my family, I'm not complaining.

Hopefully December will be better... I'm going to make a concentrated effort since I'll be in town all month.

Congrats to everyone who ended the challenge weighing less than what they weighed when the challenge started.

Well, at least you didn't have a net gain, 1oftheLuvs.
