1. Be sure and log in here on October 31, post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge.
2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that this is a short challenge, only 4 weeks long.
3. Weigh in every Thursday and post your updates here.
4. Watch the data at http://sdrv.ms/1c1AT8J to see our progress as individuals and as a team.

GOOD LUCK!

Big nod out to FeelsMe2 for setting up the Halloween Challenge that we're having so much fun with! Just trying to follow suit with the next challenge. To check out the Halloween Challenge data, go to http://sdrv.ms/19Qmc3j.

Down to 199! I might not make goal but breaking through to ONEderland is such a great feeling! Haven't seen that in nearly 10 years!

AWESOME! At 228 I am still chasing ONEderland and will be for a few more weeks. But I am THRILLED that you reached it this week! Way to go!!!

Today's weight = 197.4.

Down 1.2 lbs and at my Thanksgiving goal!

Just hoping to maintain through next week, as I'll be on vacation with the in-laws all week.

BIG YAY for meeting your Thanksgiving goal this week! AWESOME!

I had a 4 pound loss this week pushing me through to my Turkey Day goal today!! 190 I made it!!

This is such a great way to keep us accountable and I too love checking in to see everyone's progress! :)

Bea are you setting up a new one...... :D

Congrats on reaching your TDay goal! Awesome!

And yes, I've already set up a new one. I'll post a separate description and link here so everyone can find it. (I find this new site to be a little more challenging in easily seeing what topics are being discussed in the VSG group.)

I've gone ahead and set up a new challenge. It is set up to report in on WEDNESDAYS and begins the day before Thanksgiving and ends on New Year's Day.

Everyone is doing SO GREAT in this challenge, I can't wait to see some of the big changes that go on as we move into the new year! Hope you'll all join us!

WH 250

started at 247

Sw 236

Cw STILL 220

don't think I'm gonna make my goal of 210... but who knows what the week will bring? I'm only 4 weeks out and this early anything can happen! So while it's a little early I think I will postpone that goal to Christmas and ask Santa for new jeans :)
