Michelle -

Could you adjust my goal to just be a goal of getting to 180. When I set it at 13lbs I didn't think I would continue to lose this much before the TOT challenge was over. I'm now only 8 lbs away from the Turkey Day goal. I now have an even greater incentive to get to this mini-goal. The day before Thanksgiving I am going out to dinner with my best friend who I haven't seen since a day or two before starting WISH. I know she will see such a dramatic change in me and it will be wonderful to be able to tell her then that I have lost nearly 50 lbs (178 marks the 50lb mark).

 

[Beastlover]

honeymo78--I have you for a 13 pound loss, which has you at 180 pounds. Let me know what change you are looking for?

I would like to join in the T-day challenge. My weight loss has been VERY slow and actually has bee stalled for quite a while. I would like to lose 7.5lbs which would put me at my 50lb clippie. I leave for WDW on Thanksgiving so this will be more motivation.

 

[Beastlover]

wdwnutze-

I got your challenge-AND I am JEALOUS of all of you leaving for WDW soon!!

You will all reach your goals and have a great time at the kingdom!!

Can someone post the clipart image link for the Thanksgiving Challenge?

Thanks!

 

[AlisonB]

Is this it?:

 

[AlisonB]

OK.

The code for the image is:

You just need to take the space out between the square brackets and the http part.

Don't think I explained that very well!

OK, it's Halloween and I've exceeded my Operation Trick or Treat goal. I'm at 134 and I'll set my Thanksgiving goal at 132 - so I'll try to lose 2 more pounds by Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll surprise myself and exceed my Thanksgiving goal too!!

Are we checking in here today? If so, I have lost 1.6 this past week, slowly working towards our Thanksgiving Challenge!! Not quite what I was hoping for, since I lost 5+ lbs last week, but better than nothing!

Can I still join the Thanksgiving Challenge? I just finished the TOT challenge and I would like to continue on here if I can still join in. I would like to lose 5 pounds by Thanksgiving (the 5 pounds that I was short losing for the TOT challenge).

ooh-ooh! Count me in! I just got officially weighed & measured at Curves yesterday. If I can lose 6 lbs - I'll finally be in ONE-derland! So - my goal for Thanksgiving is 6 more lbs! Since that's a little more than one lb a week, that's probably more than I can handle - but I want to try!

 

[firecracker]

I finished 1/2 pound short of my TOT goal! Grrr, but I did better than I thought I was going to do.

I'm currently at 175.5...let's call it 176. I'd like to be 150 by the time I run the Indy Mini Marathon next May (and fit as a fiddle). I want to be realistic during the HOliday season...and enjoy a bit now and then. So...let's say 170 by Thanksgiving, 165 by Christmas.

So, put me down for 6 pounds!

 

[Beastlover]

OK my friends....I have added CherylNWI, minniecarousel, and firecracker....I am also going to update the total pounds we are going to lose by Thanksgiving! I will post again next week and see how everybody is doing!!!

Let's go!!

 

[Beastlover]

Hey guys!

I just added up how much each of us wants to lose--

281.5 pounds!! OMG!!! We are awesome!! That is like,

16 Turkeys

56 bags of flour

or......281 cans of food!!

Let's go for it!!!

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Thanks for adding me in. Now tomorrow I am going to start this challenge full speed ahead. (I was very bad tonight and I had a few pieces of my daughter's trick-or-treat candy , but I did do my 2 mile WATP for Abs this afternoon so that should help a little at least . ) No more candy for me and I just finished reading the South Beach book so I think I am going to switch from Atkins to that and see how that goes for me.

Good luck everyone!

Cheryl

Hi

I hope I am not too late, can I join in please?

I would love to lose 6lbs by Thanksgiving, anything over will be a huge bonus

Thank you.

 

[Beastlover]

Shell-you are added-we are up to 287.5 pounds lost by Thanksgiving!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Well since today is my WI day I'm proud to report that I'm down 2.5 lbs. since I started this challenge (that two weeks worth of loss).

That leaves me 7.5 lbs. to lose - I'll do my best. Finally started exercising as well by doing the 1 mile WATP yesterday! Figured if the turkey in our clip art could start walking so could I!

 

[ead79]

I think I accidentally missed last week's Thanksgiving Challenge check in thread, so I will check in for both weeks here. Last week I was up 0.4 pounds, and this week I lost 0.8 pounds, so I'm at 0.4 pounds out of 5 pounds currently. Onward a downward for this week, hoping for a bigger loss!
