~~~~ Waving back at Rose.

I would love to join this challenge! I am going to shoot for 8.8 lbs. by New Year's - that will put me at 195!

My Goals:
1. Stay OP all December
2. Exercise 5-6 times a week

Good luck to everyone!

I'll post more tomorrow after WI - I'm not sure where I'm at after last week. I'll be able to put a better handle on it after that.

I do know that I am back on track and ready to go for it!!! I got my exercise in last night and stayed OP. All steps in the right direction

I may not be here as much the next couple of days. A dear friend, Mikie, who bowled on DH's Wednesday night team passed away Monday. A little over a year ago he was found to have prostrate cancer. Prostrate was removed and he was told they got it all. He had monthly visits to the doctors. Late March or early April, he started complaining of a back ache. The cancer had spread and was all up and down his spine. He was pretty much told it was fatal but they tried experimental chemo. The chemo weakened his heart and about a month ago he had a heart attack. Doctors told him he could no longer undergo chemo and that it was just a matter of time. Visitation is this morning and funeral is tomorrow. Mikie did everything for his wife. He spoiled her and she will be the first to admit it. I saw them both 2 weeks ago at the gas station. Mikie was teaching Linda how to pump gas. Even though we all knew this day was coming Linda is taking it real hard. Another wife of a bowler on that team and I are going to see to it that Linda eats today (we have been told she hasn't eaten since Monday morning and she is diabetic). All we can do now is to be there for Linda and help her as much as we can.

Oh how sad and during the holidays. We'll be here when you are back Chris

Okay now that I can wash November away and look forward. I didn't quite make my goal for November but I'm oh so close and I'm very, very happy as it was a hectic month and crazy and I still lost 4 lbs. I'm content.

Now my new goal is to make 10% by the New Year. I can do it. I know I can. It will be 6 lbs this month. It will take some dedication and willpower but I can do it!

Rosegarden, fabulous determination, and YES YOU CAN DO IT!!!

OK- weigh-in today. Down 3.6 lbs. Good riddance to the fat. Come on slim me. I miss you!

Good Job BriteEyes!!!!! Keep it up - you can do it!

Is it too late to join this thread. I would also like to loose 10 lbs by New Years. I've just started using my dust covered treadmill. I'm not really following a plan just kinda trying to watch what I eat. Sorta trying the Sugar Busters thing but not 100%. We'll see how that works out.

My biggest problem right now is that I quit about 4 weeks ago and now all I want to do is eat. I think I have gained atleast 5 lbs but I'm afraid to get on the scales so I've really got to get serious about the weight loss and I think ya'll are just the motivation I need.

I'm going to weigh tonight when I get home and we will see what my starting point is. Anyway...Ya'll have a great day and I look forward to talking to you soon.

I've been waiting to post until I weighed in at my next meeting. I missed the one right after Thanksgiving because we were out of town.

Anyway.....I am down 7 lbs!!! Making a total of 17 lbs since joining WW the first week of November. I am thrilled!! So that makes only 3 more pounds until I make my Holiday Challenge.

I am still keeping my holiday challenge at 10 lbs by Christmas, but personally am hoping for more
