Oo this sounds perfect!
I'm going to assess this month's goals first and estimate next month's, then reevaluate at the end for adjustments. Goal is to fit into this dress I have hanging in my closet that is a medium in juniors, last time I could fit into it, it was between 140-145.

So for the remainder of the month, my goals include:
- Fixing my horrendous sleep schedule
- Start going back to the gym, go at least 10 times.
- Do my Callanetics DVD once a week. (I did the entirety of it this weekend, yay)
- Biggest thing is.. controlling myself during Thanksgiving break. Enjoying it during thanksgiving, but not giving into binges or mindless eating the days following.

So ready for this!

For me, I think a reasonable amount for the challenge for me is 25lbs. That is major. The food thing is going to be my menace.

So here it is:

10/20/09~ 199 (the insurance company forced me to be weighed)
10/27/09~ 195 (didn't weigh myself, I look like I lost 5 lbs) but a few inches
11/03/09~ 195 (when I look like I lost 10 lbs I'll start getting on the scale again.

02/09/10~
02/14/10~ I better be in the 170's by this date. Geez, 36 more to go!!! OMG how did this happen.

Off to the gym. I'd ask for food suggestions but, I know what works, I just have to work it and stick to it. Can somebody come here and kick my brother out.

Do you write all your food down? I try to log mine in online daily. It sure affects my choices (most of the time - not perfect yet :P). I can put in calories I ate or potential ones I want to eat, and it makes me stop and think about what I am eating, and I usually adjust to fit within my goal.

Hi guys! I just discovered this thread and I'm in! :-)

I've been losing weight slooooooooowly since I started in August and even when eating and exercising perfectly don't lose much, but I plan to stick with it and average at least 0.5 pound loss on the scale per week. I have no idea what I'm going to weigh once you factor muscle into it, so my goal is more to lose inches by Valentine's, and weigh somewhere around 149-153.

11/10/09~160.9
11/17/09~159.5 is what I'm shooting for

Can't tell you how happy I was when I saw that number on the scale this morning. I actually lifted my hands over my head in celebration. LOL A bit worried with the holidays coming up, but I'll keep pushing myself!

Hope everyone had a good week!
