Okay ladies and gents, you asked for it, a Fall Weight Loss Challenge.

How it works:

This challenge will be for a 10 week period, starting today, September 5th and ending Monday, November 14th (just in time for all that Turkey and other goodies on Thanksgiving). Everyone is welcome to participate.

1. Make a weight loss goal for the 10 week period.

2. Post your start weight as of the day you join the challenge.

3. Post a photo of yourself at your weight as of the date you start the challenge.

4. Weigh in each Monday and post your progress here.

5. At the end of the 10 weeks post an after photo of yourself so we can all join in seeing and celebrating your accomplishment.

well I weighed this morning and I am at 319 I gained 2 lbs ugh! great start LOL I am still working with the pic it is coming.

I hope it's not too late to join.

Today's weight is 350.

I'd like to loose 15 pounds by end of challenge.

Call me crazy with too much time on my hands (not!) but here's a list of all of us. Now, we may have lost some to Nana's Challenge which includes a generous and beautiful prize. Some may be doing both. Newly banded (after Nana's cut off date) or "not yet banded"s are not eligible there, but EVER SO WELCOME here, so if your name is on the list and it shouldn't be, let me know. This is mostly for me so humor me, ya'll.

Any more? Any errors? Let's Git 'er Done!!!!

Oh ****SIGH**** went the WRONG DIRECTION this week. One pound UP (Dammit!). Well, that's what comes of having my college-kid home for a week. He wants to eat all the time and the lil' darlin went and brought me chocolate from GERMANY. If you haven't had German milk chocolate--don't! That poison will haunt your dreams.

Anyway, he's gone now and no more excuses for me. I've GOT to be able to fit into something nice for my bro's wedding October 29. I'm HIGHLY MOTIVATED so it's work, work, work from here on out!

Okay, I'm joining even though I probably won't lose the weight.

I start at 247. Here are my starting NSVs...

this weekend after the Vegas Bash I had to tighten my seatbelt as opposed to asking for an extender.

I just crossed my (explative deleted) legs!!!!!
