Whee! As always, I feel kind of silly posting a "group idea", but since its something I want to do I'll go and get it started!

Playing around the boards today I saw several "Thanksgiving Challenges", remembered doing one here last year, and how much it motivated me Now's the time to do one... and I know I have a (lofty!) goal to be back at 185 . That, as I recall, was my goal last year, which I met early and then never lost any more!

Anyone with me?

I say an XMAS challenge would bw awesome. I know my goal is to be 200 by xmas, and maybe being part of a challenge would help me lol.

No way, I don't want to do no stinking challenge!

Oh, ok, I'm in. I don't know what my goal will be yet, because I think my original goal is unrealistic, especially because I have gained a few more pounds! So I want to see 139 by Thanksgiving.

Sure, why not? I'm going for my GW by X-mas, so maybe a nice halfway point by THanksgiving? I'm going for a 10 lb. loss to put me at 152 (Holy-Moley! Wouldn't that be some kind of dream come true?) I'm back counting WW points though, so its possible i suppose

Sounds good to go, why don't we set Jan. 1, 2008 at our final date to keep us in check during the x-mas holidays.

I'm better off doing things in small chunks, so I'll go for a thanksgiving challenge (new year's is too far away!)! Let's see... Thanksgiving is 10 weeks away, so I'm going to aim for 175 by Thanksgiving. We're having a little family reunion thing this year, and last time my extended family saw me was 4 years ago (wow... that's a long time...), first year of university, when I was about 205. I'd love to make it a good 30 lb difference when I see them next!

Hehe so a continuious holiday challenge... yay! No idea what I would set for a Yuletide weight... I'll probably figure that out closer to Thanksgiving, it's just too far away right now!

*jumps around all happy and hyper and stuff... for no real reason*

Marines - I know you can do it, lady! That goal is totally realistic.

Steph - My bum you're not doing a challenge! =P

Dolly - Don't you mean 2007? hehe.

Brit - I totally agree, which is why I wanted to do one. It's alot easier for me to focus on "I want to get to 185 by Thanksgiving" rather than "I want to get to 140 by this time next year"!

LETS Do it- Great Idea!

Let's all contribute towards some type of reward...would that be possible?? Just throwing out another idea..

interesting idea.. like what kind of things?

I can do it, I think a Thankgiving Day Challenge would be fun!

OK, well since most of you are for a thanksgiving challenge, im going to say i want to get down to 200 by thanksgiving, and then maybe 190 by Xmas.. Ill re-evaluate my goal come thanksgiving i guess hehe.

I like LockItUp's sig that calls this "Fae's Stinking Thanksgiving Challenge" ... While I haven't had any unpleasant sensory experiences regarding this challenge yet (get it? stinking? i'm being stupid/an english student), I like the idea of naming it something so that we stand out from all those other thanksgiving challengers! This is our challenge!

Anyone got ideas? Agree/disagree?

Score! The challenge has been named (however temporarily) after me!

I'd like to thank the Academy..

175 = ipod nano = thanksgiving challenge!
anyone else have good rewards (other than a nice turkey dinner - which is not supposed to be a reward!)

well ideally - lets see - that could be 18 pounds - which would be like 170 - which would be awesome - I haven't weighted that little in a long time!

Hey all! I'm not new, but I haven't visited the site in a while. Maybe part of the reason why my weight has been slowly creeping up once again. I need to get down to it and lose this weight...I'm sick of being disgusted by my body. I'm ready to really do something about it. I'm taking a phys. ed. class at school, and we do circuit training (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). So that'll help out a little. Diet is going to be a struggle for me, but I'm going to succeed this time!

ANYWAY....I would like to join your Thanksgiving challenge! There's about 10 weeks from here until Thanksgiving, and I think a pound a week is pretty realistic for me. So my goal by Thanksgiving will be 140. I look forward to meeting all of you!

(I'm Heather by the way...lol)
