.........Update for all you lurkers! Our group has lost 243 pounds thus far, and we have 47 days to go in this challenge! Anyone is still welcome to join! There's plenty of time left! We'd love to have ya!........



I know... eek ! Thanksgiving's coming already?! Summer's not even over yet!

But I just did the math, and from August 16 - November 24, there are only 100 days!

I need a little more to keep me motivated right now(it's been a bad, bad summer), so I thought I'd start this challenge. Plus, keeping track of everyone's stats will also keep me motivated... don't want to let down my online friends! I know the Labor Day one is still going, but I need more of a long-term goal. And no one says you can't be part of multiple challenges, right?

If you're interested in joining me, just let me know your stats and I'll do my best to keep track of everyone's. My goal is a 20 pound loss in those 100 days. That will take me to 192 - well into the 190's, where I start feeling good about my body again.

So, officially, this challenge starts Monday, August 16, but let me know if you're in anytime and I'll get my stats list going.

1/16/05 389.5
2/06/05 382.5

I'll join as well - any challenge to keep me going! I'll try for 15 lbs by then - stats are 231/231/216.

Wow! It's so great that I'll have some company in this 100 day journey! Welcome everyone! (Kystar - I know you'll commit to this challenge! Lucie - it's great to have a newbie to the boards join!) I have really slacked off a lot this summer and am kicking myself for it.

Here are the people signed up so far:
Name Current weight/Thanksgiving goal Pounds to Lose
Mada: 212/192 (-20 pounds)
Ladygirl99: 206/160 (-46 pounds)
Crystalrp: 132/125 (-7 pounds)
CarolynInTexas: 272.5/257.5 (-15 pounds)
funkynut: 215/205 (-10 pounds)
Lucie: 215/195 (-20 pounds)
AmyG: 198/183 (-15 pounds)
demigh: 170/150 (-20 pounds)
Kystar: TBA (-12 pounds)
biddy: 231/216 (-15 pounds)

Anyone else who would like to join... just let me know your stats and goal and I'll get you in the list!

Let me know if I missed you or goofed up your stats so I can fix it. It looks like we'll have a bunch of winners in 100 days - we all have pretty do-able goals. (Although, Ladygirl99, I am a bit concerned about your goal... are you losing fast enough to do 46 pounds in 100 days? You may want to re-think that. And if you are losing that fast... please, please share your secret with the rest of us!)


I'm so excited and really looking forward to this challenge! You've all motivated me to set my alarm and get up to work out in the morning. I am going to make this goal!

Have a great, sugar-free weekend everyone!

Hi, Mada! I am the reigning queen of multiple challenges as you can see by my signature! I've not hit a challenge goal yet, but I'm still trying! Realistically, I can claim to lose (and more importantly, KEEP OFF) about 2-3 pounds per month. (I am a card-carrying member of the beloved Glacier Club!)

After my wild weekend, I am currently 3 pounds over my signature weight. I'll post my current weight on the 16th (Monday), so my 100 days will begin there. I will be conservative this time and say that I want to lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving. SURELY I can do that! That's one pound every 10 days. Hmmmm, okay. Thanks!
