Exclamation Challenging All Fellow 3fc Members To A Weigh-in On November 29th !

We originally had a Halloween Challenge that Cheerio's started. Now we are up for yet another challenge! Not sure about a prize, but you NEVER know, there could be a SURPRISE! This challenge is a little less time than the other one. (You don't have to be good for as long, unless you want to!) So, we will weigh-in on November 29th, 2009. This would be on a Sunday, the day before the end of the month. We all like to start over fresh on a Monday, don't we? We hope you all join us in this challenge. It's so much easier when you have some "Buddies" that can relate to the struggles of weight loss. Our group all did an AWESOME JOB on losing weight. The total group loss was close to 100# for last month! Here's some Willpower Dust to give you a jump-start!

Hello Everyone, I'm back! I decided to enter a separate post with my challenge. I'm challenging myself to at least an 8# loss for the month of November. (That's about 2# per week.) It would be nice to lose another 10#, but I will take whatever I lose. I refuse to gain weight during this challenge! It's not an option! I was stuck at a plateau after I lost 8# last month and the scale didn't budge until about a week later! The best part of this was that I kept myself accountable and the end results were an additional 2# lost! I actually lost a total of 12# in the month of October, but on weigh-in day, it only showed a 10# loss. Water weight can do that, so don't get discouraged if you end up gaining a few pounds. If you keep yourself accountable, it will come off. I'm living proof of that! I know it will be tough with our weigh-in during Thanksgiving weekend, but hang in there! YOU CAN DO IT! We can still eat a nice Thanksgiving Day Dinner, but cut back on the portion sizes. If you feel guilty after wards, you can always burn some of the calories away after dinner or the next day. A nice long walk should help some! Well, that's it for now. Good Luck to everyone!

Okay everyone...It's time for me to reveal my stats! I was going to wait 'til I was below 200#, but decided that this is part of keeping myself accountable and not hold back any secrets. I started out on September 23, 2009 with our Halloween challenge weighing in at: 235#, then on Halloween Day, the end date of our first challenge-I weighed in at: 225#. As of this morning...I weighed in at 222#! Okay, I'm a little bit embarrassed with my posting here, but wanted to keep myself accountable! My long-term goal is to be less than 200# sometime in January of 2010! That's two months away...(including the month of January), so I feel this could be attainable. Oh my!, did I just reveal to the World what I weigh? I don't care as much anymore, 'cause I know if I keep myself accountable...I will reach my long-term goal. Once I reach that long-term goal, I will set an extremely long-term goal of a healthier weight. Once I reach 199#, I will have a better picture on what that will be. Okay! I've rambled on long enough! I feel so much better now!

THANKS so much for starting the new thread Freckles! I don't have time to keep up with everyone if I was to start it. I just have been really busy lately. I checked my weight on Halloween and it was 198 so I guess I will start there and hopefully I will weigh 190 by Nov. 29th I been falling apart a bit lately with the whole eating healthy thing, but I am still trying and still hitting the gym and I just can not give up after losing 21 pounds. I got so excited about weighing in on Halloween cause I knew that I actually tried hard to be healthy and when I looked at the scale it showed it. I think I have never been that happy to stand on a scale lol. So I will try hard again and will be anxiously waiting to step on the scale by the end of this month. Good luck everyone and have fun =)

Howdy everyone! I am in again for the challenge! My goal is to get to Onederland by the end of November. I am at 208 as of this morning, so that's only 9 pounds to go. I KNOW I can do it!
