November/December weight loss challenge

[Possegal]

For 8 full weeks, (I think this actually ends on New Year's Eve, how perfect is that?)

Let me know
(1) if you want to join in
(2) what your weight is on Friday the 12th of November
(3) what your goal weight is for 31 December - if you want to, if you don't want to set a goal like that, then no worries.

I'll post the link to the chart later in the week.

Also - how the heck is it already time for the Nov/Dec challenge? Where did July and August go to?

I'm in too. Thanks!

I just realized that New Year's Eve technically makes it a 7-week challenge, but I said last time that I thought I might need to do that to get it a bit more on track for ending at the end of a month. This seem the perfect time to do that since I like the ending on the last day of the year.

Just for clarification.

Please count me in, too. I'll post my new weight and goal on Saturday.

I 'failed' on the last challenge by just letting things get away from me. I'll do better this time!

7 weeks is a good idea, by the way.

142.8 this week. I skipped 3 work Thanksgiving dinners I was invited to last week - trying to wait until actual thanksgiving day to overeat

[katluvr]

So are we REALLY going to weigh in on Friday....the day after Thanksgiving? Not that I have a big dinner plan, I work so it is "just the 2 of us", but still plan to eat!
Maybe I'll weigh in Thursday AM (and Friday).....

People can weigh in any day they please. Or not at all if they so desire. Whatever is posted, I put in the chart. If no weight is given, then nothing gets listed, which I've been known to do myself on more than one occassion.

Totally forgot to post my weight! I was 154.0 on Saturday.

142.8 this morning - I rode 45 miles yesterday morning to pre-burn off dinner.

143. there were a lot of goodies around work this week, and I ate more than my share

[channlluv]

Awesome, Muirenn!

113.8 today (after the bike ride happily down from 114.? Tuesday.

Oooh - it was reallly tough week.
My secret santa at work gave me Hershey's kisses 2 days in a row, and I quit counting how many I ate after a while. And Friday was worse: the students brought me so many gifts of treats that my desk was like an edible minefield for anyone attempting to stay on track- home baked cookies and nut bread and buckets of chocolate. Then the PTA served a catered Mexican food lunch and last night we went out to a fancy restaurant to celebrate my daughter's graduation from college... and champagne.

I'm SO grateful that 1) my hip issues are backing down and I can ride off the calories and 2) I live in Arizona where the riding weather has been gorgeous.

I hope everyone is hanging in there with all the season's temptations. We can do it!

Getting the updates in there today.

My weight is yet again up. I did way too much snacking and absolutely no working out. Been talking with my sister, again, about how I don't know what it is I need to do to get myself serious about this all. I can't bear another year of feeling lousy about myself and seeing pictures of fat me. The depression over that was not helping, just led me to snacking.

Then today, got horrific news that we lost one of my nephews early this morning in a car accident. Now, not feeling so much like eating. Think tomorrow I will try and put some of that pain out on the trail with either a long walk or maybe take my Kona out in the little bit of snow that is still out there.
