  • I need to set a goal to get off the weight I've let creep up lately. Since a Columbus Day goal thread just finished, I figured I'd start one for US Thanksgiving week since that's 6 weeks.

    So...jump on board...set your goal for whatever day that week works for you.

    MY GOALS....(may be adjusted later)

    My scale last week before my walk said 138#...my official WW goal is 127# & what I would like to be back to by Thanksgiving...11# in 6 weeks IS possible for me.

    However, my scale this morning said 148#...10# in one week AND I walked 60 miles! I THINK (hope) that the 10# is really water retention or something from the shock my body got from walking 60 miles in 3 days...at least I hope so....so I'm assuming that a lot of that will drop off in the next few days anyway & making my goal under that assumption.

    If I'm wrong...I'll readjust my goal accordingly.


    So....

    Current: 138# (148#??)
    TD Goal: 127# by 11/21
    Progress: 0/11#

  • I'm in.....
    Okay I usually stay away from setting specific time goals since it hasn't worked in the past but the last goal seemed to go well since I didn't set it too high (or low as the case may be) so I'm going to try again. I'm going to try to get below 160 for my next goal. Since as of this morning I was at 164.5, that's not too crazy at all. I'll be thrilled with that and any more would be even better. So here it is....

    Current: 164.5
    Thanksgiving Goal : anything less than 160
    Ultimate Goal: who knows??? anything that makes me size 10 or less!!

  • YEAH - A NEW GOAL!

    Legal - thanks for getting us started!

    I'm going to use my weight as of my weigh in on this Thursday (10/11) and as Thanksgiving falls on my weigh in day, I may try to make a meeting elsewhere. If I can't, I may adjust my goal. Anyway, I'd like to lose 3 pounds by Thanksgiving. More would be great, but I haven't been meeting my goals lately, so I'll make it .5 lb / week.

    GOOD LUCK ALL!! GOBBLE, GOBBLE!

    PS - OK, maybe we SHOULDN'T gobble, gobble - that is the problem!!
  • Hi all, Glad to have a new goal! I didn't quite make the last one, but I am pleased with my progress! I started to attend WW meetings, so I am going to use that weight from now on. I weighed in yesterday at WW and then had my final home WI yesterday for the CD goal, and they were only 1.4 lbs different. So...

    My Goal is to lose 1.5 lbs/week making 9 lbs.

    Current Weight (10/10/01) = 153.4
    Week 1 (15-19)
    Week 2 (22-26)
    Week 3 (29-2)
    Week 4 (5-9)
    Week 5 (12-16)
    Week 6 (19-23) Goal = 144.4

    Good luck all!
  • OK, I'm in...

    Starting 10/11: 239.4
    T-Day Goal: 235


    My goal is to lose 4.4 lbs. in 6 weeks.
  • I'M IN TOO!

    Starting -- 169
    Thanksgiving -- 166

  • Me too...
    but I am just gonna stick with the program and post my starting and end weight at the end. I have not met one single goal that I have participated in this year and seem to be going in the wrong direction. So my goal is just to stick with the program totally and see what happens. I agree with Rabbit, my problem has been way too much gobble gobble
  • BFB - good luck with your goal! You can do it - let's do it together!

  • Modifications
    O.k....I'm modifying my goals some based on actual weight now that my body has recovered from the walk & reality hitting me in the form of trying on all my jeans!

    GOALS

    Current weight:
    139#
    Goal weight 11/21: 131#
    Exercise goal: 30 min/4X/week

    Progress: 0/8#


    I think 8# in 5 weeks is realistic if I keep focused and also gives me a little leeway for the Halloween party! *L* The exercise goal is very important, because I find it easier to eat healthier when I'm exercising.

    Good luck all!

  • on my way....
    well as I said yesterday, the last couple of days have not been good to me - or I maybe it's that I haven't been good to me, I'm not sure. Anyway I'm still down 1.5 pounds which I can't complain over. I'm only upset because it could have been more but that's still a good week. So, I'm on my way toward my goal. Let's keep it going.....

    Starting TD Goal: 164.5
    Current: 163.0
    TD Goal: less than 160

    I don't think I could resist the halloween chocolate. I would definitely have to buy things I don't like. Thankfully we don't really need any in the building where I live.

  • Elisa- I wasn't going to bother with Halloween candy, because I figured we're in an apartment, on the second floor, who's gonna come? Well, the complex sends out a flyer and says that the kids from the complex are all invited to trick or treat!! I'll probably buy some smarty's or something else tangy that I don't like!

    Good Luck to everyone on your goals!
  • Just checking in at the Thanksgiving Day goal to keep it in my mind. My first weigh in is tomorrow night, I've had 4 days op so far, but don't know what to expect as sometimes it takes the scale awhile to catch up for me.

    Hope you're all making progress!

  • missed my regular weigh in this week, cos had to go and have that lovely "womens" inspection - promise to weigh in next week. Getting the water back in, and today will try out my mini trampoline, had some cheese cake yesterday, so I was over, but I am cut a couple of points for a few days to get it back on track
