WISH - Gobble Up Success - 2nd Annual Thanksgiving Challenge!

[disneyfan551]

After being inspired by Beastlover's 2003 challenge, when our group of challengers lost a whopping 174 lbs. , I am hoping to start an annual Gobble Up Success Thanksgiving Challenge! The Labor Day Challenge will be wrapping up next week, and that will give us almost 3 months to work hard at reaching a new goal before the holidays set in! And with all of the temptations at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, I need all the help that I can get!

We can post check-ins on Monday, and everyone can post when they weigh in throughout the week. Since the Labor Day Challenge is still in process, we can officially start the Gobble Up Success Challenge on Monday, September 6th if you would like.

For the 2003 Challenge, WDWLVR made a great clippie, which is still available in the clippie thread posted above. You can add this:

into your signature bar to show off your dedication to Gobbling Up Success and reaching your goal!

I've recently recommitted my weight loss efforts by rejoining Weight Watchers, and I will begin by setting my goal for 15 lbs. But, of course, I'll be shooting for more!

Let's join together and kick it into high gear! Sign up and let's beat those holiday temptations! :thewave: GO TEAM!!!

Count me in on this one, it will be my first challenge!

 

[CookieGVB]

Count me in - I'll choose a challenge goal next week - after I see how the Labor Day Challenge went!

Thanks for starting our next challenge.

Ooh, I like it! Count me in! I'll post my goal after the Labor Day challenge! Which reminds me - I've got to post there, too!

 

[panfan]

I'M IN !!!!

Especially since I didn't do too great on my Labor Day Challenge !!! I have been slacking the last couple of weeks...

I also will wait till Monday to post my exact weight/goals.....
It will probably be somewhere around 20 more lbs. It is perfect since we have a WDW trip planned mid December and I have many outfits that I would like to fit into by then....

I know whatever weight my goal will be .....I also want to add excercise to part of my goal too.

I'll be checkin' in Monday to post my challenge....
Thanks!

Count me in, I want to lose 10 more pounds by my trip on 12/1 so signing up for a Thanksgiving challenge is just the boost I need to get moving!

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

I'm definately joining this challenge! I will post my goal Monday after the Labor Day challenge! Thanks for starting this challenge!

And, ready to give this a try. Last year, I joined a Halloween challenge and set my goal too high. I also found it was a tad too competitive for me.
This time, I think I'm up for the challenges & will be more realistic with my goal--posting Monday, Sept 6th.

 

[Princess Michelle]

I'm definitely in! I'll post a goal after the Labor Day Challenge ends. Thanks for getting this started.

 

[ZerasPride]

I would love to join this challenge. I'll post over the next couple of days what my weight goal is going to be. Thanks so much for starting this challenge!

 

[KimRaye]

I'm with you all on this Challenge, too! I wasn't sure if there would be a Halloween Challenge, or anything else in between, so this is great! I'm also not sure of what my realistic/attainable goal is yet, as I'm losing so much slower now, but I'm sure I'll be in for at least 10 lbs...gosh I wish the lbs were coming off faster, like they did in the beginning. I will also let you know after the Labor Day Challenge concludes.

I LOVE this board, and all the support, encouragement, advice, tips, and CHALLENGES it offers! Keeps me accountable!



Thank you disneyfan551 for taking on this lengthy, and involved, numbers game.


P.S. Does anyone know the 'official' rules for adding too many clippies? WISH-related, I mean? I thought WISH clippies were exempt from the rules, but I don't want to lose everything if I post another clippie. TIA

 

[CruisingCA2005]

I'd like to join this challenge with a goal of 6 pounds.

 

[Minniespal]

Count me in ~ I would like to lose 15 pounds.

I will be going away for a week from 4th to 11th and will be dis-less but I will be sticking to my healthy eating plan and exercising where possible.

 

[catherine]

Please count me in for this challenge. I will post my goal over the next few days. I'm hoping that this challenge will get me down to my goal weight!

Thanks for starting this challenge!

 

[DVCTiff]

From one Tiffany to another .....count me in!

 

[perfectmatch300]

I want to sign up too! I'll post my goal Mon, if we have power then. I'm hoping Frances won't knock us out! If she does, I'll keep track myself & post as soon as I can.

Have to think about my goal weight.....hmmmmmmmmmm lets try for 10 pounds - really coming off slowly.

[yasuern]

COUNT ME IN PLEASE! I would like to set my goal for 12lbs. This is just what I need(along with the exercise challenge) to keep me motivated through the season ahead.

Count me in. I'll post my goal later also. I just love these challenges

 

[kayeandjim00]

OK I'm ready for a new challenge! I did awful on the Labor Day Challenge and I'm signed up for another month of 1000 minutes of exercise so what better to keep me on track for that then a nice big goal for Thanksgiving? My goal is 20 lbs! It's quite ambitious but it's what I'm really shooting for so I'm making it official. Gobble Gobble fellow WISHers and best of luck in your goals! Hopefully Thanksgiving will find us ALL smaller than we are today!
