I'd like to join in, too. I'll keep up with my monthly exercise challenges, and I'd really like to see a 10-pound drop. So my Thanksgiving goal: 170/160. Good luck everyone!

I'm in even though I am a week behind. My goal is 153 lb by Thanksgiving, which is a 23.5 lb loss. I'm starting over and at an odd number here but it works out to 2 lb/week.

Today marks exactly 12 weeks until Thanksgiving!

Count me in (better late than never, right?)! I'll go for a goal of 250--that'd be a 30-pound loss in almost 3 months (about 10 pounds per month). It's an aggressive goal considering the snail's pace I've been going at lately, but worth a shot anyway!

A good weigh in tonight would give you a leg up Jilly - so good luck tonight! May the scale be kind... :goodvibes:

jillybean720 09-02-2005 09:27 AM

HA, so much for that--according to my TOPS scale, I stayed the same. Stupid late-day weigh-in...hopefully it'll show up next week, I guess *sigh*

jenicra 09-02-2005 10:27 AM

GRRR - that's gotta be frustrating Jilly- here's to next week!

jenicra 09-02-2005 10:47 AM

Weighed in this morning - and I'm down 5 lbs. to 179. Now I've got 2.02 lbs/week to lose instead of 2.1 in order to get to my goal on time. Phew!

I would like to join as well. I stayed at 180 since June and since school will be starting again, I would like to get back on schedule. I live in Canada so my Thanksgiving day is in October, about 6 weeks away. But I think I can lose 10 pounds by then I would like to reach 170. I have to really try and start a routine and stick with it especially since I will be going to Mexico in January, I would like too reach goal of 150-155 by then.

jillybean720 09-02-2005 11:15 AM

Jenicra--5 pounds is awesome! Have you been doing anything differently lately? What plan do you follow, or do you just count calories? I've got to kick up my efforts--I'm getting very sluggish with the losses again.

Ugh, don't feel bad Jilly.. I just weighed myself and I GAINED a little bit... darn my old eating habits....

Off to feed myself (but not overeat!), do some exercises, then go out job-hunting! (that means more exercise, since I will be walking all over the place!)

dani4beauty 09-02-2005 02:46 PM

Okay by thanksgiving I want to weigh 135#! Thats is almost 2 # a week! But I know I can do it especially with the Sept challenge you all have going.

BrunetteChic_2000 09-02-2005 03:39 PM

Ok - not pregnant - so I am totally 100% in the goal is -18 lbs. Today I spent an hour at the gym. I didn't have breakfast, and then ate pizza w/DH for lunch - what was I thinking?? :shrug: It was probably something like "YUM! PIZZA" :devil:
Oh well, it will be ok.

jenicra 09-02-2005 06:27 PM

Jill - I just count calories (between 1100-1800 is considered "on-plan" for me) and spend an awful lot of time at the gym.

BrunetteChic_2000 09-03-2005 10:39 AM

Ok - 70 minutes in the gym today.... so it's a good start :)
