Default Thanksgiving challenge

Hi everyone.. I know it is early,but I just got back in the swing and need to set some small goals. There may be a site here already but I was to lazy to read them all. So I would like to start a turkey challenge. I would like to lose about 10 pds. I know that may not sound like much but I have some health issues that may stop the progress. Even if I lose 5 I would be happy. I will also make a promise of working out 5 days a week at the least. I will also drink and drink my water and record as best as I can...........Lets see how this works out... Any one on board?

Oh I love your little turkey in your siggy! How cute!

I'm up for a Turkey Day challenge -

I would like to lose 6 lbs and work out 4 days a week. That means I have to go one more day than I already am. It would also mean that I would exceed my first mini-goal by 1lb.

4 Weeks and 3 days to Thanksgiving

I would like to committ to 8 lbs. I have been following the WW program only 2-3 days a week since mid summer. The first 20 weeks I went to Weight Watchers I lost almost 40 lbs. Since then I have held steady, but just barely.

I reactivated my membership at the local gym two weeks ago. My plan is to go to the gym at least 3 days per week and actually get my heart rate up. I am very good at going to the gym and walking lazily on the treadmill or pedeling slowly on the bike. I need real workouts.

My plan. Keep my average points under 26. Get in some workouts! Fasten a water bottle to my hip. Log on to the tracking thread each day and report my progress.

The image below is a graph of my weight loss so far.

I'm in! I think I'll shoot for 8 pounds, but I'm not officially starting until Saturday....that's when my Trick or Treat Challenge ends as it is my last weigh in before the big candy day. So, Saturday of next week will be my first turkey weigh in! Good luck, everyone!

Oh, and I plan to continue the way I have been....walk 52 minutes (that's how long my route takes) or 30 minutes on the elliptical daily, 8 glasses of water, and stay within my points!

3. Water
4. Exercise 3 x a week. Still having issues fitting this in.
5. Find some great alternatives to T'Day desserts
6. Keep at it even though my SIL may drop out soon
