yeah, kickboxing is kind of out for me too. In theory it looks fun.... but the high kicks do weird things to my hips. I usually don't have hip problems, but if I have to kick out to the side or behind me, my hips pop and it's very unpleasant! So much for the other two exercise DVDs I have, TurboJam and TaeBo... hence why I stick with walking.

Hopefully your DVD arrives soon -- it seems to be taking its merry time!!

Name.... what about " Un-stuff me, Thanksgiving Day Challenge"

hahaha.

haha i like that name

LOL...that's a cute name! Much better than the rest of the "Thanksgiving Challenge" names that are on the boards right now!

So far so good with everything. I didn't do so well yesterday because I didn't get enough sleep the night before, so I was craving junk all day...and then I ATE the junk. Today is much better though! I just tried some whole wheat toast with extra virgin olive oil instead of butter...delicious!! If there are any of you out there that haven't tried it, I recommend it! Healthier, AND it tastes better. :)

I hope everyone else is doing good. Are we going to have any rules for this challenge, or is it to just go with what you're already doing? I'm just starting my diet/fitness plan (but trust me, it's been started numerous times in the past)....so I don't know if there's a weigh-in day or if we check in every day to let everyone know how it's going and what-not...just let me know.

Enjoy the crisp fall weather, girls! (well, those of us that are experiencing Fall right now anyway)

haha, crisp fall weather? i'm so sweaty from my walk home from campus! I wish it were crisp! It's stupidly muggy right now. I wish it would rain and get it over with!!

I like your name, trns! So far you've got the best suggestion... any naysayers? :)

Hehe I like it. :)

Yay!

Or... "Ready to Un-stuff, Thanksgiving Day Challenge"

I want to join the challenge! I'm teetering between 149 and 150, so I would LOVE to be 140 by Thanksgiving. I've also banned fast food and fried food until Thanksgiving. Hopefully if I do my turbo jam faithfully, I'll make it :)

Good luck to everyone!!

You know what I always find funny, goals are made for a certain holiday or event. For example, Thanksgiving challenge. So we lose all of the weight just in time for a huge Thanksgiving feast? Anyone else find it ironic? Maybe you guys have more self control than me. Last year I ate, felt so full I had to go home and change to jeans that weren't so tight, and then went back to my aunt's house only to eat some more.

Ah, it is ironic, at least when it comes round to November/December holiday eating time. But look at it this way.... you reach your goal by Thanksgiving, you look at the buffet of food and think, do I want to spoil all that work I just did? Alternately, you make a goal for February or something, and think, well, I have three months to work it off... and eat all you want. I think it's better to have goals around the times we are most tempted, or there's no reason not to give in!!

I want to join! I need something to motivate me besides my rolls :D . So my goal is going to be 199 and onederland! Yah! Good luck ladies!

I'm in! I want to be under 160 by then.

I like it, thats such a cute name...

Un-Stuff Me, Thanksgiving Day Challenge... WHOO! :)

well although i don't celebrate thanksgiving, i think i would like to jump on board. sounds like a good challenge, not too long and not too short. i hope you don't mind me joining in.

and i can think about it this way - with no thanksgiving meals to distract me between now and christmas i will be able to leave you all in my dust - mwah ha ha! :s:

:D

so i figure my goal can be to get to 99kg which is a total loss of 8kg (17.6lbs). totally doable!

hahahaha..... daisy, you crack me up...... :lol:
