Patti, go to tickerfactory.com -- they have lots of cute tickers and it's okay to use them here.

I've been thinking about it, and I might choose a body wrap the Saturday (or Sunday or Monday) before Thanksgiving. It's around $130 and sounds like it could be the finishing touch to a recent weight loss.

Yeah, what Kathy said. :lol: Kathy, that sounds like a very interesting experience!

I'm going to reward myself with a charm for the charm bracelet I started 5 years ago.
My aim was to reward myself every five pounds down. Somehow I got stuck with a bracelet and only 4 charms. So! I'll get a charm for the 25# down that I've achieved and then I'll look forward to another charm for 30# down. That will be a thrill. I like the way everyone is positive on this site. (My bracelet is silver and the charms are only about $8 apiece. It isn't the money, but the accomplishment of actually losing weight and making the bracelet prettier.) Let's go!

Judy that is such a great idea! I really like the message that sends! Great plan.

sounds like some good rewards here. i think i'll go into dillard's for a make up makeover presentation. i've been watching carmindy on "what not to wear" and am thinking i need a do-over.

Sandra, that would be fun (and not too expensive, unless you end up buying all of the stuff!). :D

Okay, from this minute on my weight challenge will be for Thanksgiving. I can't believe it's so close. I've got to get thinking and planning because my family is always here for Thanksgiving. The day is fine because I'll allow my points for that day. It's the leftovers that follow especially since some of my kids and their kids will be here for the long weekend. I just need to have my head on straight. Good luck everybody!
:goodvibes:

Judy I've been meaning to ask you what is in your signature, because I can't see it (just a red X).

being the positive person i am i will tell you i was a wee bit short of my halloween goal. soooo--my thanksgiving goal is to weigh 189.

another goal is to stay on program till thanksgiving. i have been falling overboard quite a bit lately.

a reward is the makeup presentation. melissa, i hope it doesn't cost me too much. i already use clinique and will just be adding a few new colors, etc. i've been watching carmindy on "what not to wear" when she makes folks over and i want to get that same outcome. ;)

okay, i'm off here now to make a tday ticker.

here's my new ticker. (i hope.)

Sandra, I would love to be on what not to wear but I wouldn't want them to throw away all of my grubbies. You gotta have grubbies!

i have to have my grubbies, too. clinton would die if he saw them. can't you just picture him behind me in the 360? :crazy:

i just thought of something else. :idea: last time i tried not weighing at all till the end of the challenge. obviously that didn't work. this time i'm going to step on those scales every morning--as kathy would say, "nekkid and empty."

Yes, nekkid and empty! :rofl:

My Thanksgiving goal is going to stay the same and hopefully it'll be my ultimate goal. It's probably more ambitious than I should go, because I might be setting myself up for a big flopping failure, but hey! Might as well try!!

145 by Thanksgiving Day. (Empty and nekkid, of course.)

I'm aiming for 201# nekked and empty on Thanksgiving morning. I'll have to scurry to do that, but I know I can. I can't let myself get psyched out at the last minute like I did for Halloween where I slowed up my weight loss. I've got to keep on saying that slow and steady is the way to go for me. Exercise 5x a week, stay on Core and count in points when they are necessary, and no mind games. Just do it! Eat slow, move fast!!!!
My red x signature happened a long time ago when I tried to do the weight scales like you girls all do. My computer has built in blocks that doesn't allow me to exhibit this cute Ticker Factory information. Oh well. I'd love to have it because it's very inspiring and makes me happy to see, however, my starting weight numbers, where I am now, and where I want to be works too.
Good day everybody.
