Angie - I just re-read your original post. Do you realize it sounds like you've invited all of us to join you on the cruise? Count me in on that, too! I assume you'll be footing the bill since it was you who invited us . . .

Lin

Ahhh! lol I didn't realize it read that way until you mentioned it Lin! Okay, I think I had better clarify..I would love for you all to join me on the cruise, but unless I stop working out and get another 10 jobs, I won't be able to treat you. :) If I hit it big on the lottery though, that's another story!

this is a great idea angie!! the 4th of july challenge came around just as i was starting out, and it kept me on my toes. hopefully this one will keep me motivated just as that one did. i met that goal, and i really hope i can meet this one. i've set my goal for 225 which is 32.5 lbs away from today's weigh in. that's approx 1.6lbs per week through thanksgiving. good luck to everyone :D

edit: due to moving and then too low cals causing a 2 month stall, my goal has been changed to 235.

Goal: 235 (12.6 lbs to go!)

Ok, ok. No free cruise. But I'll still stay in the challenge. I think this is what I need to stay on track and beat my original goal of weighing 152 by Christmas.

Lin

lol @ the free cruise!

I'm going to stick with my normal Sunday WIs with an added one for Thanksgiving Day to finish out the challenge, but I'm in! I'll put a final goal once I have my official start weight on Sunday.

(This is very ambitious and I am really trying to get to Onederland by Christmas, but I am going to use this challenge to see if I can push myself to get it done sooner!)

I'm joining!!
I absolutely LOVE thanksgiving - it's my favorite holiday :D Our wedding anniversay is Nov 23 (4 years this year!) PLUS, My husband and I are fortunate to be studying abroad in Ireland this fall (we're law students) and I think having this challenge to keep me accountable while I'm there will help. :hug:

I'm ALWAYS in for a cruise! :D Where are we going, Angie? We need to know which ship to meet you on... ;)

I'm in for the challenge as well... I'll be visiting my family for Thanksgiving and would love to be 194 when I get there. I've got what I'm calling "Cruise Fest Fall 2011" before Thanksgiving though, with trips to Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean; plus a business trip, a couple of weekends away with the hubby, and my parents visiting for a few days next week so hopefully this will help keep me on track though all of that.

I weigh in on Sundays, but I'll do my final weigh in on the day before Thanksgiving, which is when I'm flying home.

Start Weight: 226
GOAL: 194

July 3: 226.0
July 10: 224.0
July 17: 224.0 I've been totally OP, so I'm hoping for a nice loss next week.
July 22: 224.0 Seem to have a bit of a stall going, hopefully next week will be better

Ended the month of November at 210.0

updated my thread, but also wanted to post so this gets bumped up.

I am (crazily IMO) putting my goal as Onederland. At my current pace, it's doable, but while I am thrilled at how quickly the Dukan diet has me losing at this point, I don't necessarily trust that rate will continue. But I am going to challenge myself to continue to remain Stuck Like Glue on my plan and see what happens!

Hi, April Snow - the club mod, Sandi, put a link for the Thanksgiving Challenge in the Sticky for current challenges. We can all find it there if it ends up on page 5!

Hope you make your goal - I'm betting you will.

Lin

I'm absolutely in for this! I need something to keep myself accountable and get back on track and this challenge seems like just the thing. =)

Great idea!! I think I will set my goal at 235 that would be right on track with my goal of 100 lbs by new years eve!

linJber -

thanks for the vote of confidence!! I am normally around a 6 lb a month loser, which is not that bad, but with my current plan, it's been more like twice that. So I'm happy but just not sure that can last! lol! I'm going to keep on going and see what happens and if my best case scenario happens, I'll be thrilled. But really, if I am even in spitting distance of 199 and can get to it by the end of the year, I'll be thrilled.
