It's time to start a weekly weigh-in for November ... I hope some of you (or all of you) will join me. Get on that scale and "fess up" and then enjoy watching our success! WE CAN DO THIS!

I thought I would start us up for November since tomorrow is Nov 1 ... I hope I have some company here soon ... Here's my starting wt and mini goal for the month of November:

October 31, 2004 (for Nov)

Beg Wt: 184.5
Present Wt: 171
Goal for August: 160
Lbs lost this week: 0
Lbs to Nov goal: 11

OK ... time for me to get very very strict with myself! I've had a few too many "goodies" this last month ... 2 lbs up - can't have that! Worked too hard to get where I am so time to stop goofing off! I'll be back in a week to see if anyone has joined me, and to let you know how well I'm doing.

Come on guys - fess up!

Love, CJ

Hi I am brand new to this site but need something to get me back into gear. A November Challenge will be helpful to me. I lost 25 pounds at the beginning of the year and have maintained it but need to start the scale moving!

Hi everyone--

I would like to join the weekly weigh-in. My story (short): have had a reasonable weight for a long time, healthy habits, not much exercise. Had a very stressful job last year and gained 15 pounds. Joined WW in May, made goal at end of August. Started a new 1/2 time job this year (teaching middle school Language Arts), and unfortunately a few pounds crept back on.

I still go to my weekly meetings and find them helpful. I am tracking carefully and exercising more. I also stopped being mad at myself for the gain--got more into the mode of analyzing exactly why it happened so I can prevent it and stay in a maintenance mood.

My goal: Lose 3-5 pounds and KEEP THEM OFF! The accountability of a weekly check-in will definitely help me.

Welcome Elana! Glad to have you join us! Also, please come post with us on our regular weekly chat thread ... we would love to get to know you more. So, talk to you soon .. welcome to our Thin Group! CJ

Hi everyone;

I would like to join the weekly weigh-in.. I really need the support.
I am new here, currently at 256 and hoping to reach a goal of 185 by next year this time.

The truth is, I have been through the ringer with dieting over the years and I have tried them all..
latest ... atkins, south beach, low carb,
but I have also done ww as well.

I just applied for life insurance and was told that I would have to pay more than double because of my weight.

I was embarrassed and afraid. I have a 2 1/2 year old little girl depending on me... I need the help to get started.

I brushed off my WW books last night, figured if I could lose 39 pounds on the program 7 years ago , I didn't need to pay a fortune to rejoin for new stuff now.

I am ready to get rid of my girth once and for all...

So when's our next weigh in date?

Well .. it's Nov 15 and although I haven't lost anything yet, I have finally gotten myself back OP so hopefully next weigh-in I will show a loss ... I changed my goal from 160 to 165 .. I think that is more "doable"...

Nov. goal onederland.
I have also lost inches in my waist, hip, and thighs.

Way to go Shaun and Loon! You guys are doing great - keep up the good work (your keeping me on my toes too)!!

I am delighted to report that I got thru the 6 weeks of maintenance (with some struggles), and became a Lifetime member at my WW meeting last Sunday. I bought myself a great hat as a reward, and have been getting lots of compliments on it.

My eating this week has been 100% under control. I think the gratification of getting to Lifetime just put me in such a great mood that it feels much easier to stay OP and make the right decisions about what I eat.

I hope all is going well with you. I will keep posting here.

Have a good weekend--

Elana, way to go! What a wonderful accomplishment to reach your goal! Keep going strong girl. What kind of a hat did you get? I love hats - just don't like wearing them! lol

I hope you do keep posting - now you and Peggy will have to keep the rest of us going - lol.

I'm not going to weigh in until Monday - but... I have stayed OP 100% for a whole week! Hope to see a change come Monday ...

Hope everyone else is doing good!

CJ

2nd week at Lifetime: I increased my daily points to 22; lost 2 lbs. this week. I think the increased exercise made the difference--I did a bike routine with intervals (20 mins. on bike with 4 sprint intervals built in) plus weights and stretching.

Hope everyone is doing well. We will all survive Thanksgiving, and hopefully enjoy the holiday too!
