4-7lbs by January 31st

Hi all,

As a previous poster said: when you're losing that last bit of weight, even 3, 5 or 7pounds is a lot and really difficult to shed. Would anyone like to join me in trying to lose 5 pounds (or your own goal) by January 31st? January 31st is almost exactly 6 weeks from today - I am aiming high even though losing .6 to .8 lbs a week is hard for me at this point. If interested, just join this thread and I will be checking in every Monday.

MFP SW: 150+
SW for this challenge (today): 135
GW: 125
GW for the Jan 31st challenge: 130

    I like this challenge! I'm there, too: .5-.8/lbs/week is a major accomplishment, especially as we up the exercise and exchange heavier muscle for fat. I'll really have to bear down on this goal. I'm in! Thanks for starting The January 31st challenge.

    Somewhere I got off track of taking care of myself in every arena. Looking for to have some company on the fitness-weight loss side.

    I guess I'll join too. :) I'll keep it small, because I'm only 9lbs from my UGW, so it's gotta come off slow to avoid muscle loss.

    Okay! Today is the first weigh in day. How did everybody do?!


    MFP SW: 150+
    SW for this challenge:135
    Weigh in 28 Dec: 131.6??? What?
    GW: 125
    GW for the Jan 31st challenge: 129.5

    I was happy when I got on the scale this afternoon, although I think that since my weigh bounces up and down so much I might actually see a gain next Monday.

    Yeeeeaahhh... just as I suspected. I bounced back up to 133 again after the fluke Monday weigh in. Re-posting my check-in.
