I am joining Nov 1! My goal is to lose 15 lbs by jan1. Food is my weakness- I am a big time emotional eater. Stress boredom anxiety. So my workouts will be important because they help remind me what I'm doing but food needs to be my focus.
I also joined no cheat November challenge. Cheers. Feel free to add me!2 -
My goal for New Year's is to get my bmi out of the obese range. So that means I need to lose 12 more lbs.
CW is 195 Challenge GW is 1832 -
My goal is 25 lbs by February, so I would like to lose 15 lbs by New Years. February is my anniversary date with TOPS, and I would reachy my goal weight so I can become a TOPS. I have lost 38 so far.2

Need to lose my quit smoking weight.
My goal is to lose 20 pounds. CW is 157 Challenge GW is 137 (I'm five feet short!)1 -
Hey everyone!! My goal for Jan 1st is to be at or below 165. I currently weigh 181 as of today. I am going to try to eat low carb with carb cycling. I think I would do better if I knew someone was checking on what I eat daily and giving me pointers here and there. If anyone is up to the task, feel free to add me!3

Oct 31st I weighed 167. I think I will aim for 155 pounds. My lowest weight for the 2016 year was about 155 so it would be a good number to get back to by Jan 1. That will be 12 pounds.1

Joining Nov. 2 today I weighed in at 144.2 My goal is to be 129 by Jan.12

I finished up our last challenge at 167.5, so in 8 weeks, my goal is to be an even 160. My calorie goals aren't set to lose a pound a week, so I'm just gonna work on increasing my activity to offset it. (I'm sure I'd starve at only 1250 calories vs 1500!)2

My short term goals are to continue exercising at least 5 times per week, and log each day. My long term goal is 30 pounds gone by my 50th birthday in April 2017. I don't want to keep doing this cycle after I am 50!1

Welcome everyone! I've been mulling over my goals, and think it's mostly maintenance (I have a loss goal posted in the spreadsheet, but a small one) and staying consistent with running (and other exercise) over the holidays, as the weather gets less good and my motivation tends to decline.0

I warned my teens that they need to put their stuff away instead of leaving it all over the living room. That way, I'll have room to pop in a DVD when "the weather outside is frightful!"lemurcat12 wrote: »as the weather gets less good and my motivation tends to decline.

I want to be realistic with my goals. Thanksgiving will be harder for me than Christmas, because of travel. I will weigh in tomorrow for my starting weight and then post my weight loss goal for this challenge.0

I just joined. I would like to lose more than 1 pound per week, but I think that is a more realistic goal for me right now, especially over the holidays. Thanks for setting up this challenge! And thanks RisingAboveIt for letting me know about it.1

I let life get in the way for a while and I fell out of these challenges too. But when I needed to get going, I came right back here!jrortega1912 wrote: »Hi, I have been in and out of these holiday challenges for a while. The last one I participated was July 4th.

Hello all, I'm Gina. It's 11/14 and I am just starting the challenge! I am hoping to take off 10-15 pounds by the first week of January. I've lost about 19 lbs. over the past few months, but the past few weeks have been a real challenge as far as keeping my eating under control - especially late night snacking. I don't have a time-frame that is pressuring me and I don't want to mess up my metabolism, but I am hoping that a challenge group will keep me motivated! Good luck to everyone!1

Hi Gina and Welcome! This is a great group of folks, who will be supportive, but not judgmental. We all have bad days or weeks even, but tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start...storygirl65 wrote: »I am hoping that a challenge group will keep me motivated! Good luck to everyone!
