Gees....is mine too lofty a goal? I'm serious in asking this question. I just don't know, now. I guess we'll see how I do as I go and possible revise it to 20? Hmmmm. Let me see how I do through November and I'll see if I need to change my goal.

Steph, that's 15 pounds a month! I would have to starve to do that! Even in my younger, faster metabolism days, I couldn't do more than 10 a month. You could leave it and just see how close you get. Who knows? Maybe with a superwoman effort, you could do it!!

Wow, that is a big goal, but if you aim high and miss you might still do better than aiming lower.

No matter what I do I still hover between 172 and 175 (one day I went down to 171) so I ended up getting nowhere on the last challenge. I walked over 80 miles last month and still I'm just maintaining ( which I am happy about).

But to stay focused I will weigh tomorrow and join the challenge with a small goal, as I really want to see the 160's ( even if it's 169!)

Well...like I say, I guess I'll wait to see how I do through November. Hmm. I've lost that fast before, but have no idea how it's going to be since I'm closer to my goal.

Here I go with my piddly goal of five pounds but if I can get down at all I'll be happy.

With Thanksgiving in the middle of this challenge (we are going to Vegas to visit our daughter for t'sgiving), christmas at the end of it and no band, this will be one tough challenge for me.

Okay, Guys, I'm shooting the moon, here. 150 will land me at my goal weight. Whether or not I make it, any loss will be a move in the right direction. Good luck, everyone!

I updated my weight and it didn't take, I guess. I'm not weighing myself again until Monday, so have no idea what my weight is right now.

It took me a while to determine my goal for this challenge. I know that I'm losing a whole lot slower than I did before. I looked at the BMI charts. Currently, I'm "overweight", which beats the heck out of "morbidly obese" LOL I'm aiming for "marginally overweight" now. :rolleyes2: In all honesty, I'm thrilled to death about where I'm at right now.

Alright...so it does seem to be coming off agonizingly slow. *sigh* I had to revise.
