Hey folks - just a reminder that WEEK TEN starts today!!! We are in the home stretch, only two more weeks to tally up those pounds! Everyone has done such a great job, eight people have lost 25 pounds or better since starting, with three of us losing over 30lbs with two weeks left! Amazing!

Even more awesome - 22 of us have lost 10% or more of our starting body weight!! Many studies have been done that show losing ten percent of your body weight means:
- better heart health
- lower risk of Type 2 diabetes
- better energy levels
- better chance of continued success in dieting

It's a great achievement!! Keep up the great work, log those weigh ins, and let's power through these last two weeks!!

The whoosh fairy was good to me this week and I'm down 5.4! Which means I hit my 30 by Thanksgiving goal!

Whoops - this got bumped down to page 3!!!

I just logged in my 1lb loss for the week, we are cruising to the holiday! Get those numbers on the spreadsheet, it would be awesome if we can hit 1200lbs lost over the course of the challenge!

I finally got a decent loss in at 3 lbs this week and made my goal!!! I never thought I'd actually make it to 30 so I'm super excited.

I'm super impressed at how far all of us have come!

I am very proud of each and every one of us!!

I didn't quite make my 30 pound goal but I came closer than I thought I would. I've lost 22.4 pounds..with my next weigh in being AFTER Thanksgiving...so I can say that i'm pretty pleased and i'm not sure I thought it was even possible to get this close!!!! I only have 7.6 pounds away from it...does my next weigh in count or no?

I think we were considering this week to be the last week of the Thanksgiving challenge, but you did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!!

And just a reminder that this is the FINISH LINE!!! Log those weigh ins for this last week!! Here's the spreadsheet so you don't have to hunt:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...W13WGh4cFowaGc

Some highlights -

- FIVE of us have already hit the 30lb goal (or surpassed it)! Great job!!

- 29 of us have lost 10% or better of our body weight from the start of the challenge! Amazing!!

- We have collectively lost a total of 1147 pounds!! That is the equivalent of 71 thanksgiving turkeys!!!

Let's push through this last week in style!! Good luck everyone!
