If I could lose 4 pounds this month, I would be thrilled...
Hell, if I could lose 3 pounds this month I would be happy!
Hmm... So it's the 1st of December today...
I better hurry up and buy a dress for the wedding or I'll be showing up in jeans! Lol.
:)

I will be back for this month challenge and I will weigh in tomorrow.

Well -- since I fell off this a little over a month ago, I would like to join this challenge and see if I can drag my butt at least back to where I started.  I will weigh in tomorrow.

This month I will meet my goal.  Be back to weigh in tomorrow.

I just hope my weekend coffee-spree hasn't jeopardized my weight too much lol.

Hi!  I want to join too!  I've slacked a lot the past couple months and need to get back on track.  My hubbies getting healthy too so it'll be easier.  I need to get rid of the Dr. Pepper.  ARG.  :-)  Be back tomorrow to post.  Betsy

coach, obviously you need a bigger one.

Yes, this is exactly what I need for this month in order to break through to my goal. I'm totally in! Be back in the morning for a weigh-in.

Awesome forum. Thanks for starting it restless girl - you're right, the beginning of a new month is really motivating for making changes! I was originally on a "lose 10% of your body weight by new years".. but so far, my weight has only gone up. :( So, a new beginning for me. This time.. I better do it. Gonna log my stats now, before I back out tomorrow morning!

Count me in!  I need all the encouragement and motivation I can get!  I started on Nov. 10th and I have lost 7.5lbs in 20 days (that's about what ... 1 lb every 2.5 days?).  I am hoping I can get lucky enough to lose between 8 and 10 lbs by the end of December!
