  • I'm in! My other weightloss challenge has kind of fizzled out. I was 191.6 a week ago and some late nights at work w/ dinner have put me back up a few. Will post official starting weight for this challenge on Monday. 30 lbs by Christmas would be superb!!

  • Welcome to all of the new members of the 30 pounds by Christmas Challenge!! Weigh in is 2 days aways and I'm so nervous!! Did not have a good weekend nutritionally speaking. So I'm hoping I can still have some sort of loss!! But everyone is doing great and I'm so proud of each and every one of us for taking this step into a healthy lifestyle.

    Big weigh in tomorrow, woohoo!
  • I am shooting for 40 by year end, so I am definately with you. The program has me on 1200 calories per day, but I am breastfeeding and won't be done until she is a year old, which is 3 months away. Does anyone know how many calories I can take in to sustain breastfeeding and still lose 2 pounds per week. I have breastfed all of my kids until they are 1 and don't want to have to cut this one short. Suggestions??

    So 2nd weigh in. As expected I lost next to nothing. Well I lost almost half a pound but I don't really want to count that. I am ok with it though. It was a bank holiday weekend here and I only exercised once had pizza twice and quite a big night out. So I think I should be glad I haven't gained :smile:

    Next week will be a better result hopefully!

    Well done to all the losers though and keep it up!!!

    Have a lovely week everyone!

    Daisy

    Starting weight 25/08 : 165.88 (75.4k)
    2nd weigh in 01/09 : 165.44 (75.2)

    I'm in. How do we keep track of each other? I need all the friend support I can get. Hubby keeps trying to get me to buy pizza or fast food. Co workers are worse.

    I want in too. So how do we stay in contact. I just started and am very new to this blogging thing. I am so excited and I really need a support system. I only have a few people who are really supportive and the rest are inhibitors. I can't wait. I feel like I have already lost weight

  • :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Hello Big Losers...;) (Losers- in the affectionate, positive way, of course..) :happy: :bigsmile:

    Week 2 of the Christmas challenge, and ta daa -
    I am down 3 more pounds for a total of 8!!! (whoo hoo - do the happy dance)
    22 to go.
    Got a few struggles the next few days and next weekend so need to pound down the water and hit the exercise~

    Dannielle - Thanks so much for setting this link up!

    Daisy - LOVE the signature pic!

    Jodi - Don't be discouraged - if you're doing right - it will catch up and so often you see and feel the difference before the scale does - muscle weighs more than fat, etc. :) Keep your chin up:flowerforyou:

    Jena - LOVE your enthusiasm and positivity! Thanks for the inspiration - here's to you... :drinker:
