I am in for 10 lbs ;)

whoops! posted twice!!

I'm on Maintenance so I'm not joining your challenge just wanted to offer a word of encouragement to all of you!!! Last year between Thanksgiving and New Years I lost 10 pounds! I came back to work after our school 2 week break and one of the teachers said, "YOU are the only person I know who looks slimmer AFTER the holidays!" Its a great feeling, you dont have to be deprived, just make good choices and enjoy!!! Good luck everybody!!

Thanks for the encouragement Kim. WOW, took lots of good choices!

I am shooting for 8 pounds. I want to be at 179. Tired of the 180s!

Thanks Kimberly for starting the thread!

Congrats on your weight loss so far. I joined LAWL in July and have lost 35 lbs. I have had a Thanksgiving set back though...cheated and feel SO guilty. any suggestions?

Count me in for 10.4 lbs that will put me into the 180's (barely:D)
Good luck everyone
Cheers!

NYCAggie - we are human and we will from time to time overindulge or indulge in something we shouldn't. When you fall off that wagon, the best thing to do is to pick yourself up and brush yourself off and get back on again. Don't let it get you down and do not beat yourself up about it :)

OK, I am in too.
I am shooting for 10 pounds. Fell short on the Thanksgiving Challenge by 1.5 pounds. Darn that stuffing and pear pie.

Anyone in for a TO tomorrow and Tuesday? :)

TO we go
 

I am planning to TO for the next two days. I bought some fresh veggies and precooked some protein choices. I have been ok on food this week but very high in salt! and possibly a little too much alcohol. My DBL and picks great merlots and I do love a good merlot! :cheers:

Gettin' back on track after T-Day!
 

Emily, I am in for TO! I need it! My counselors at COD kinda let me loose for Thanksgiving, and well they gave an inch and I took a mile! I was really off plan. I will be doing mine Tuesday and Wednesday as I already cooked and packed my food for tomorrow ( I have to work all day then go to school). But I have pledged to my husband that I will stay POP til Christmas! (Well afterwards too, but definitely til then) I have set my goal for 2008 at 7lbs, but I am really hoping for 10lbs by Christmas. I am stepping up the workouts and POPness. I bought that walking dvd workout set today that comes with 2 2lb weights, but dh wont let me have it til Christmas! :( I have to work 4 days this week, and with work usually comes being POP as I usually take my lunch to walk a mile at the park, and we have no vending machines so I can only eat what I bring!

Oh and BTW my starting weight for this challenge right now is kinda being guessed as I havent WI since the 17th! I may go ahead and WI in the morning so I can see at my next WI on Sat what a POP week can do for me!

Hope everyone has a great week! :carrot: Let's motivate and help each other stay focused during this challenge like we never have before!

Oh and Amy Louuu where are youuu???

I'm in for 10! I really need a challenge like this one to motivate me during the holidays!!

I'm in. The only problem is I'm much better lately at gaining than I am at losing so I'm just going to jump in for 7 lbs. If I lose more I'll be a very happy camper.

We Can do this!! :cheer2: & here goes on the TO.. how many of us are there.. 3..4? POP, POP, POP!!! :cheer:
