Hi, guys.
I've collected all of your names for the participants thus far and included your current wt and goals.

Please review and let me know if there is any inaccuracy. I'll update again tomorrow morning, and weekly thereafter.

I'd love to join this challenege. As of this morning I'm 278.8 and I want to loose 20lbs so i'll be down to 258

Hi Mellyann. I have no objections to the progress report. For update, my goal is to lose about 2 lbs. per wek or 28 lbs by Thanksgiving. So, my goal weight will be 220.

Thanx

Good idea with the progress tracker melly, keep us accountable :-P

Great! I'm updating the list and will repost tomorrow afternoon. Any new joiners, get your posts in by tomorrow morning and you'll be on the updated list. Otherwise, I'll add the new joiners to the list next week, after the first weigh in (Wed 8/23).

Hi I have me ticker ready. I Have been good today with eating, drinking water and exercise.

Awesome. Night is the hardest for me. I just have to remind myself: either I can choose to wake up thinner or wake up regretful. I'm sick of starting over every day.

One thing that helps me is to keep a calendar inside my bathroom cabinet. When I have a good eating day I cross out the day in pink marker. If I mess up I color the day all in purple marker. I also fill in my exercise in the square. For example:

2.5 mi/30 min
upper/Abs

This means I ran 2.5 miles in 30 mins and did upper lifting and crunches.

I strive to get as many pink X days as possible. I discovered that about 60-70% of the time I was cheating with my eating. This is over the course of the past 6 months. With that I lost about 15 lbs. Just think what I could have accomplished if I had kept the cheating down to 5-10%.

I love the chart What a great idea. Looking forward to getting to know you all

Sounds like a great idea mellyanne! Knowing my weight will be posted will definately keep me in the game!

This sounds fun! I love challenges! Well I am from Canada so my Thanksgiving is earlier than most here! So will I be doing mine or your date? I think I will stick to mine! So to lose 12 lbs by then. Today I weighed in @ 172 lbs so my goal is to be 160.

My starting weight is 238.6. I'll make my goal 20 lbs. I plan on eating healthy, drinking plenty of water and exercising at least 4 days a week.

Back with my goal.

Starting weight is 283.
Goal is to lose 30 lbs
Goal weight 253

Jadeddieter,
I tried push, I like it. It is quite a work out! Definately challenging.
