My goal for tomorrow morning was 178 (my challenge was to lose 11 lbs). I just weighed in at 179 this morning.

I won't have my scale when I go to my father's house for Thanksgiving day.

....so I really won't exactly know what I will weigh tomorrow.

I don't define my success or failure by that one pound. I lost (weight) so I won!

wtf u guys ive bn excersizeing all month n it seems i started to lose slower n now on top of that i gained 3 lbs in one week wth im so upset cuz i fnt understand how this happened :(

If you are exercising muscke weighs more than fat. Take your meaurements. You probably list inches My hoal was 190 . I got down to 197 now I am 200.6. But I refuse to give up. I am determined to make my goal.

Omg one pound to go and I'll be at 219 I can so kick that bag of chips off my butt in 4 days :) I can do this ;)

I hit it I'm 218 :) !!!!

I am 163.8 this morning. I would like to be 150lbs by Thanksgiving.

Let's do it!!

OK - I started the challenge at 163.8 and this morning I weighed an even 153.0.

I was hoping for more but this is fine for me. I am looking forward to a Christmas Challenge!!

I will post my weight tomorrow morning but I doubt I will get to 150 - the good news is that I am wearing a size 10 shirt and a size 10 pants today!!

YAY! goal was 215 and I'm down to 213 this morning!!! yipee!

I'm in.

Initial weight pre- surgery 255. Surgery 5/10/12.

CW 170.2

GW 157

I have no idea what rate I will lose weight as I get closer to goal - this may be far too ambitious. But I'm going to go for it!

I can't believe it - this morning I weighed in at 157 exactly. Last week I was 160.7 so it was a pretty good week for me! Two more lbs to the century club.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am officially 152.3 this morning.

I wanted to be 150 but this will have to do - I am not upset about not reaching goal, the challenge really kept me motivated.

I'm in!!! Current weight 227. I want to be 207 by Thanksgiving. That's 20 pounds. Yea' date=' I know that's a LOT but why not aim high : )[/quote']

started challenge Nov 3 @ 227 gave myself a 20 pound goal. I am 215 as of today Thanksgiving. I missed my goal by 8 pounds but I still am down 12 pounds!!! I had a BLAST!! Cant wait for the Christmas Challenge. Happy Turkey Day!!!!

5 weeks ago, I joined the challenge, thinking I'd lose 15 lbs, but I lost 10 lbs. I figured due to stalling I might not make it, but it's all good. I thought I'd be at 190 lbs today but I am at 195 lbs today. It's still a loss!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

OK for everyone that participated in the Thanksgiving day challenge! I know i didn't make it to goal! I know I set it high, so next time I will do less! I am very proud and excited to what I have accomplished so far though. So here is my check in for today the end of the challenge!

Current Weight: 159

How did everyone else do! Great job every one! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I will not be able to weigh in until Sunday morning but just being careful in the meantime. Whatever my results are I will still need to come up with a Christmas challenge.

Rock on everyone!

Yay! I met and surpassed it by 2 lbs.

I'm officially. 146 today.

For those of you who did not make goal today don't be hard on yourself, you will get there sooner than later. We have a wonderful tool that works wonders. Sometime it's a little stubborn but we will get to out personal goal soon.
