Anyone up for a new goal?

[Beastlover]

Hey WISHers!!! How about a new challenge?? Come on!! Let's get going to the next level of our LOSS!!!

Can we guess what holiday is coming up???? Yep, the dreaded Thanksgiving ....loaded with all those complex carbohydrates, sweets and all around nasty food. (gosh! I can't wait!)

I'm setting my "gobble up success" goal for 10 pounds by then. That will give me my 50 pound clippie, and bring me to 158 pounds.

So what do you think?? Anybody out there ready to join?? I'm on my way......

I was definitely thinking about a turkey day goal and a new year's goal. Hopefully we'll be able to get some lovely new clipart to go along with it.

For turkey day I would like to lose 13 more lbs putting me at 180 and for new years I would like to be at 170.

Thanks honeymo for coming up with another goal. We don't have Thanksgiving here, but I am always up for doing another challenge, so I'll join in. We leave for WDW on the 30th Nov. and I would love to have my 50lb clippie by then. So my goal will be to lose 13lbs.

Count me in Don't have thanksgiving here but I'm going to see David Bowie in concert in Dublin on the 23rd November and i'd love to have lost another 5 pounds by then

 

[WDWLVR]

I'm in! We leave for WDW the Tuesday after and I would love to be down 10 lbs by then and have a 25 lb clippie!

Count me in! I'd like to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving. I don't know if it will be possible b/c we are buying our first house next week and all I can picture is us ordering take out for a while but I'll give it my best shot.

I'm in! I would like to lose 5 pounds before Thanksgiving. We are going to MIL in Virginia Beach for Thanksgiving and leaving from there to go to WDW! Another five pounds will help me to get into the clothes I want to wear to WDW. Good luck with your goal everyone!

 

[PAdisMOM]

I'm in! I need a new goal to focus on.

I've been folowing the TOT challenge and it looked interesting. We need a cool name and graphics like they have!!

My goal is 5 pounds by Thanksgiving. That should be acheivable since ther are 5 weeks until T day!

That will give me a new clippie and put me 5 pounds away from goal.

 

[mowsie dreamer]

I'm soooooo in!!!!

I'll go for 10 pounds, too!!! Think I'll add it to my siggie to keep track!!

 

[Amelia]

Ok, count me in for ten pounds before Thanksgiving!

I'd love to lose that ten before vacation!!

 

[LuvTigger]

I was just thinking about this!

Count me in for 10 pounds too!

 

[Obsessed w/Disney in OH]

I'd sure like to get off 10 more pounds by Thanksgiving. It's my birthday(yep--I'm a turkey this year!) and we leave for WDW 2 days later...I'd be so happy to be turning another year older with 35 less pounds on my body, and be leaving for the happiest place on earth!

 

[twotoohappy]

I'm ready to join! I don't want to be a turkey this Thanksgiving and not work out!

Beastlover - do you think you should change the title to something like "Thanksgiving Challenge" to get more people into the thread - just a suggestion. Since you are the one that started it!

Michelle i did'nt read your thread before posting a check in for our Trick or Treat challenge. I mentioned in the thread about starting to think of new goals for thanksgiving so any one that replies i'll refer then to your thread. I was thinking in terms of how much a turkey weights and pick a common weight of a turkey.LOL I like your better anyways. As soon as i see where i end up on TOT challenge i'm gonna join your thread. What are you check in days so i'll be sure to see the thread?

 

[mowsie dreamer]

WOOO HOOOO!! I love that clippie, Mary!!!! Thanks for making it for us!!!

Ok,
Well I said I was going to loose 15lbs by Halloween for the "Lean and Mean by Halloween Challenge. I have a total of 8lbs as of last monday lost. I will end up with 9 or 10lbs loss for this challenge.

I also have a vacation coming up from Nov 12-22 at WDW. So I imagine that I will actually be gaining a few pounds from this.

My goal will be small. I am getting closer to goal, and noticing that the pounds have really slowed lately. I have to WI's (after this next one, which counts toward the Halloween Challenge) prior to my vacation. I will set a goal to loose 2 pounds prior to vacation, and the WI after vacation is my last prior to Thanksgiving. I guess that doesn't really give me any time to loose anything from vacation. So maybe my goal will be to really work hard at enjoying my vacation and eating what I want when I want, but not loosing such control that I don't gain more than those 2 pounds. 11 days at the "WORLD" is a lot of days to gain!!! I will try not to weigh more than I weigh today when I weigh in that first monday afer my vacation. So to weigh 146 prior to Thanksgiving is my goal. Whatever I loose this monday will be my extra buffer. Sort of sad to think I could get excited about being exactly where I am today one month from now. But I guess it's better than adding 5 lbs on to what I weigh now. Who knows, maybe I will loose more this week and more than 2 pounds prior to my trip and still end up lower. I so wanted to be in the 130's by Halloween. The main thing is that I am thinking about my vacation and planning for fun, but still allowing myself to think about how not to totally overdo it!

Good luck on this new challenge everyone. I hope I surprise myself and exceed my goal of not weighing more than 146 by Thanksgiving!

I would love to join a Thanksgiving challenge! I won't be able to reach my Halloween challenge goal by a long shot, so I would really like to join this challenge. I would like to set a goal of 5 pounds by Thanksgiving, which for me is pretty hard to attain. Actually, I would like to push the challenge deadline back by 2 days since I weigh in on Saturdays if that's allright.

So today, as I sign up for the challenge (10-24-03) I weighed 163.2 at my last weigh in. A five pound loss would put me at 158.2 on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Great idea! I've been wanting to join a challenge!
I will aim to lose 10 lbs by Turkey Day. We will be leaving for WDW the next day... but, I don't even want to think about my eating habits while on our cruise!!

Now, I just need to know when to check in to the thread!
