  • I was about to comment and say Thanksgiving was in 2.5 weeks... haha. Oops! I'll join even though I'll be celebrating a different Thanksgiving, it seems like a good goal time.

    I'd be thrilled to hit 150, but anywhere in the low 150s would be alright with me.

  • Hi everyone! I'm glad to have to accountability with you! I am using Wednesdays as my official WI day because that's what I like, but you can do whatever day you want!

    What is everyone doing to reach their goal? I am sticking with calorie counting for now (1400-1600 a day). I don't have a formal exercise routine yet but I hope to get back into the gym soon!
  • I am doing calorie counting with Whole foods ... no processed. Except Feta Cheese and Greek Yogurt. (I have to have them... or I'll die )
  • 170starting, ha ha I know what you mean. I would love to eventually have a 100% whole foods diet but for right now I am just trying to get back into the mindset of dieting, so for convenience I have a Lean Cuisine meal about 2-3x a week. You have had amazing progress!

    We can do this!

    i'm doing weight watchers online and am running. i am training for a 10k and a half marathon.. i fell in love with running
  • I'm adding this to my challenge too! I would like to get into the 40s! I am currently 161. So that would be 12 pounds to get to 149.. which would be around 1.5 pounds a week too! I am going to do this by working out (usually just cardio and maybe some weights if I find motivation) and "watching" calories. how exciting. My official weigh in days are monday! but I will let you guys know! How exciting.
