Tot Check In For 10/24-10-30

[PartyofSix]

Okay guys this is it! We are on a down hill slide to reach our goals now. We have only this week to push thru and get the job done. I got down to 146 then had a rough week and i'm up 3lbs so i need a major whoosh to get to 145 which was my goal. We had a death in the family and i found myself eating late, eating earlier and eat bad at times. So now i have to get with the program this week if i'm gonna make my goal. How are you guys doing are we gonna make it? On Friday morning instead of a check in thread we'll do a final tally of pounds lost this last 7 weeks and have a braggin rights thread how bout that? And be thinking of where you want to go from here we may do something to push to Thanksgiving if you guys want to so let me know if your interested in a Turkey for pounds thread? How many turkeys can you loose a 7, 10, 13, 15,20 lber?LOL Have a great week my wish friends. Your doing an awesome job and i'm sorry i have'nt been around much last week to tell each of you that.

Was just checking in to see what you posted for this week's thread. I can't believe this is the last week before Halloween! I like your idea for Thanksgiving, that's cute!! But, you probably won't be able to join us! You don't have a turkey left to lose girl! LOL. Your new clippie is so gorgeous. I hope everyone has a great & healthy week!

I lost another 2 lbs this week making me <B>21/13</B>. I can't believe I've gone so much over my goal.

Pound and a half for me this week, putting me at 12/15. Now the million dollar question. Can I do three this week??

 

[kayeandjim00]

I'm down 2.2 lbs this week making me 17.7/25. I'll need a BIG whoosh next week to make my goal but I'll be extra good and get as close as possible! My usual weigh in is on Sunday but I'll do 2 next week - a special TOT weigh in and my regular weigh in on Sunday. Good Luck this week everyone!!

Tammy, sorry to hear about the death in your family, sending prayers and PD to you and your family.

My official weigh in day has been Wednesday but I am 1 of those people that weighs myself everyday and I have lost a pound (even with blowing it a bit at a family gathering Fri. night) since last weigh in which brings me to 6/10 and in the process I met my mini goal and finally got my 10 pound clippie this morning!!!!!! I know it will be very hard to loose those last 4 pounds in this last week (especially because my TOM is rapidly approaching) but I am motivated to give it my best! I am starting South Beach Diet phase 1 today so maybe I will be able to make goal yet.

I am very interested in continuing this with some kind of Thanksgiving goal! That would help to keep me motivated and in check.

Thanks for all the motivation and support everyone! Good luck in our final days!

I gave up on the challenge - we're suddenly moving across the country and I don't have time for anything, let alone paying attention to my weight. I didn't quit Atkins, tho, just dieting! Anyway, haven't been on a scale in forever, but on a whim got on today fully dressed and after a few cups of coffee and was 141.5! Quick, off w/ the clothes, 141! My goal was 139.5, I may well have been there before the coffee! Anyway, maybe it is in reach! I'm just so happy that I'm down 40# from last year and that I can lose w/o worrying about it, albeit, only a couple lbs/mo. I'm hoping that #)# clippie is mine tomorrow!

The Whoosh fairy came this week ... down another 3 pounds which puts me at 9/10 for this challenge. I will be doing my final challenge weigh-in on Thurs morning ... it's my 10 year anniversary, and was another reason I took this challenge. I wanted to be 175 by this date (which was an 8 pound loss), so I upped it to 10 for the official challenge. So, I've already met my own personal challenge (174), and there's a good chance I could lose another pound by Thursday. We are going out for a very special dinner on Thurs night, and let's just say I won't be counting any points that night

Congrats to those who have already surpassed their goal ... and for those of us that haven't, congrats for having the courage to even put your name against this challenge. I know it was a first for me because I was afraid of not making goal ... but then I realized that if I don't make the goal, I haven't "failed". ANY decrease in weight is a fabulous accomplishment.

Best of luck to everyone in the challenge's final days!

First let me express my sympathies to you on the death in your family.

I have stayed away from this thread with the exception of joining the challenge on the initial thread because I felt like such a loser (and not a weight loss loser). I had commited to lose only 5 or 6 pounds and felt bad because I was succeeding. Well, the last two weeks I have gotten myself in gear and I am happy to report that I met my Halloween goal. I am so happy because the last two goals I set, I failed. I feel like I am back on track now.

Love the turkey idea, sounds like a great challenge to me.

my final TOT check in......
first, sorry for your loss Tammy pd and prayers to you

and my final check in...... drum roll please..........10/5
I doubled my goal and lost 10 pounds and got a new clippie! This was a great motivation! I can't wait to see what the groups total loss was!
See you all at the turkey thread!

Tammy, sorry to hear about the death in your family. My prayers go to you and your family.

I lost 2.8 pounds this week putting me at 10.8/15 pounds lost. I guess technically I have till Friday, but no more official WI's. Even though I didn't make it, I am still happy. 10.8 pounds is more than 2-5lb bags of sugar I am not having to carry around anymore.

Not sure how well I will do with the Thanksgiving challenge since I leave for a 10 day trip to WDW in two weeks. I would be ecstatic just to come home with no loss/ or gain!

Great job to everyone, you have all done terrific!

Tammy I'm so sorry to hear about your loss This week I have lost another 3lbs which puts me at 30/20. I also am able to claim my 40lb clippie and I have finally made it to onderland so this has been a great week for me!!

 

[lmhall2000]

Cause I really Overloaded on it this week and still lost 2 pounds- I'm back to 185 and still 6 pounds away from TOT goal- but I'm off the chocolate and on to walking again- so hopefully by TOT I'll have 1 or 2 more off to show for it......I'm 8/14 for this goal- and pleased seeing as how there was a Disney trip smushed in there and 3 weeks of pneumonia....come on I have to have excuses!! I've never missed a goal since being at WISH- it's tough to admit but it just adds coal to the fire in my belly to hit 143 by the end of April!!!! YEAH!!! Let's GO TEAM!!!!

Well well well look at you guys shrink up before my eyes!!! OH i just love this thread. I'm doubting my goal now though i'm 4 lbs away from my goal of 14 so i'm not doing so hot but it has been and could be a lot worst than this. I'm back to 149 and wanted to be at 145 by friday but i knew better so i'm gonna get as close as possible the next few days and then shoot for thanksgiving. And for those of you that might have missed it Beastlover also started a challenge for thankgiving and i hope all of you will join me over there once friday comes and we have our last "rewards" for trick or treat!!!! On friday if possible please everyone look for the thread and weight in that one last time and tally up how we did. I see that only a few of us have stuck out this challenge or where able to stay with it. I can't tell you all how proud i am to have you all loosing with me. It spices up your day to day when you have others walking in your shoes with you to get to your goals. You all mean so much to every pound i loose. Can't wait to see the totals on friday i bet i don't sleep a wink wondering how you all have done.

I reached my second goal of this challenge!!!! I forgot to weigh yesterday and I got on the scale this morning and saw that I lost 1 more pound!!!! I got my new shiny platinum clippie. Now.......on to the T'giving challenge!!!

 

[twhipple]

I have been so busy lately I haven't been posting here. I made it to my goal of 10/10 - down to 155 by vacation time which starts today. I won't be around to post the final, but don't intend to weigh in anymore. Today we get done with stuff around the house then tomorrow morning it's off to Epcot and our Disney Cruise!! The Thanksgiving plan sounds good, though I don't get back until the 9th, and after a cruise, that may be a tough one to make. Only 15 more pounds to goal! I'm going to try to be one of those who eats whatever they want on the cruise but doesn't gain a pound LOL!

Thanks for getting this group together. It has inspired me to get down to a mini-goal!

Hi, Halloweenies! I cannot believe this is our last check-in. It's kind of sad. :-( This is the only thread that has really motivated me. Thank-you again Tammy for creating it and managing it. Although I don't have a loss to report this week, I am happy that I did reach my TOT challenge goal and went beyond it. Which even shocks me!...lol. My total loss was 21 pounds. I had set the goal of 15 for myself, which I didn't believe in a million years that I'd reach. Thanks for keeping me motivated! Happy Halloween everyone! 21/15

 

[catherine]

As the TOT challenge has come to an end today, I would just like to thank Tammy for setting up this challenge. Thanks to all of you who have posted every week and have helped to keep me motivated. I haven't weighed myself since Tues. so I am not sure whether I have lost any more or not. Seeing as my goal was to lose 20lbs and I ended up losing 30lbs I guess I will keep the loss from Tues 'till now for the turkey challenge. Good luck yo all of you who are doing your final weigh in today, hope that you reach your goal

 

[lmhall2000]

I am just sOOOO inspired by all you over-goal achievers!!! And I bet you are THRILLED to bits with the outcome!! And thanks soooo much for Tammy pulling this together and keeping us motivated--OUTSTANDING!!!!
The good news is that during this challenge I garnered my 50 pound clippie- so that's a huge step for me but I missed my goal by 6 pounds...I'm at 185 again this morning- but ever so pleased and ready to hit 170's by Thanksgiving- just think what a GREAT thing to be in the 180's for just 8 weeks- I hope to be out of the 170's by New Years!!! Then it's all gravy from there....thanks for letting me enjoy this weight loss and share the fun of losing with all you great LOSERS!!!
