With the Turkey Day Challenge ending in Nov., I wanted to present a new challenge called "New Year, New You!" that will start in Nov. to overlap.

I am currently part of the Turkey Day challenge but when I reach that, it will not put me at my goal so therefore I want to be prepared with another goal. So here it is.

I know there are many of you who did not participate in the Turkey Day for various reasons (you were just banded, you found out about it too late ect.) So here is a great opportunity for you to get involved in a challenge!

The challenge will begin on Nov. 1st and go through Jan. 1st. I wanted to post this early so that people would have enough time to find out about this and decided on a goal for themselves!

Here is a google spreadsheet(much like the Turkey Day) where you can enter all your information. Don't forget to rate this thread high so we can get it up to the top so there will be lots of users in on this challenge just like Turkey Day!!!

I don't have my band yet - I am in the 3 month supervised diet now. Can I join? I certainly have weight to lose.

ABSOLUTLEY!!!!!!! :thumbup:

I'd love to join too! I was banded in '07 but went a year with an unfill, and am just getting back on track the past few months. Would love to have something to motivate me to stay on track! Looking forward to the new us'es!

:thumbup:

I just joined as well! I'm not sure where I'll be by Thanksgiving (hopefully at least close to my Thanksgiving Challenge goal weight) but I'll adjust my goal based on where I am at by Thanksgiving. I REALLY hope I can meet my Thanksgiving goal but this will be a great way to continue the motivation! Totally excited!

Oh yeah, Sign me up! BTW, I couldnt get the spreadsheet open, it may just be my comp though...

I'm in...If I make my NYNY Goal I'll be 3/4 to my end goal!!! This will be my first 'holiday season' with the band...hope it helps with all the holiday food porn...I hate head hunger!!!

18lbs to reach my turkey goal....hmm dont know if that will happen! =(

:thumbup:

I'm in! THis may just be the motivation I need. I'm a old bandster that's fallen off the wagon. Well, not only did I fall off, it's run me over!

I've joined the spreadsheet. Looking forward to any help I can get.

MM

I just got another fill today. I'm hoping this will be my sweet spot. I'm also hoping it will help me get to my goal of 199.9 for thanksgiving (13.5 pounds to go). That way I will be solid for my NYNY goal. If not, I will just tack it on. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY would like to start the New Year UNDER 200 pounds (for the first time in God knows how long).

Okay I'm a newbie but I'm in!

I am new also, but I'm in.

I'm in. Always up for a challenge!

I'm definitely in! I hope to meet my Turkey Day goal, and I want to set another realistic goal yet one that will still challenge me. Hmmm....I'm thinking 215 (presently 233) sounds pretty good. That is ten pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. I know there will be temptations, but I can do it!!!

Hi all - I'm in. Tried to set a realistic goal. I'll be thrilled to meet it by New Years! Best of luck to all who enter! Hopefully we'll never have to see these numbers again!

I'm in - like another user...I am pre-band. But pounds are pounds and I want to play the reindeer games too! LOL

Good Luck to all!

ive pretty much excepted the fact that i wont reach my turkey day lol i was too ambitous.....my goal is 1.5 per week so 12 lbs down by jan 1!!
