Instant Gratification - My own challenge

So I was looking at my ultimate weight goal and I am some time away and I need an excuse to pat myself in the back so I decided to set an immediate goal that is more reachable and a prize... but I am choosing something that will force me to keep going... so I am setting a challenge for myself...

Today I weighed in at 195 lbs.
I want to be 176 lbs by Thanksgiving...

that means that I have 37 days to lose 19 lbs... it seems like a lot in little time but I am counting that because I have so much to lose... I'll probably lose the most this first month... so why not... my reward will be to buy a $200 dress size 4... that I won't be able to wear but it will be the first item for my new wardrobe because I AM GOING DOWN!
