Hi all!

I just checked and it is 14 weeks to Thanksgiving or 98 days. I want to lose as much as possible before then cuz it is harder to lose during the holiday season.

Anyone up for it? Let blast the next few months and make it happen!

I would love the challenge! By thanksgiving I should be much closer to Onederland!!

Oh great--welcome ladies!!

we can do it!

I'm in. I keep saying I'm going to get back on track, but I haven't done anything about it. Someday starts today.

Hi all!

day two of the challenge and all is well on my front--I am determined to stay on focus and change my habits.

I love Mother's quote--choose your hard! Right now I choose the diet hard! I can do it! You can do it! Remember it is each baby step that adds up to the result.

Cheers

I'm in also. This is day 2 for me, too. Thanks for doing this, Sno.

You're right, once the holidays are upon us temptation abounds.

I don't do challenges . . . but strongly tempted by this one! What are the rules?

I would love to join! The holidays are always rough on me and I usually gain during that time. I don't want that to happen this year. If I stay mostly on plan, I should be pretty close or right at my goal weight. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Fabulous tyla and bumblebee-day 2 rocks! and tx for the will power dust!!

Mamma--I want to make this a serene challenge where we cheer each other on rather than worry about rules. I do think the more we check in, the more we lose. How about rule number 1--dont beat ourselves up about our weight! (preferably no beating at all) maybe as the time gets closer we can strategize together on ways to handle the holidays.

Ladybug--welcome!

Snow, that's good news - I'm glad it's low pressure, just support - good for us s l o w losers! Thanks for doing this - Thanksgiving may not seem a goal for some, but for me, when the days get shorter my appetite gets larger! Hoping this will help keep the focus!!

I think this is a good challenge. I have been doing this weight loss/healthier living for about 3 wks now. I just upped my calories to 1500 because of my exercise schedule. The last 2 I was just beat and took a nap. It's not productive to exercise then lay on the couch all day after.

Do you want weekly weigh in's? That way we can see progress. I think it would help me. I enjoy working towards a goal. Not sure how much I will loose but 30lbs would be nice. Moving towards onderland and 50 would do it. I don't think I will loose 50lbs In 3 months

Checking in, day 3!

That is a excellent rule, that we do not beat ourselves up, if we feel we made a mistake. It is important that we continue to move forward, and to reach our goals.

Yesterday I was a little off on my eating. Not too bad but I had sudden cravings for something really sweet and something salty. I had some ice cream and then right after a small bag of cheetos and a slice of pizza. My weight this morning was 133 which I think is great. Like the rule said, I'm not going to beat myself up about the random indulgence. I'll just eat on plan today. At least now, the cravings are gone.
