    Hi Guys!

    Well! What a fantastic first week for many people! I am busy compiling a list to post late Monday so everyone taking part can share in eachothers success! I'm going to calculate our TOTAL GROUP WEIGHT LOSS and try and find some sort of item that weighs the same to illustrate. Yes. I am that strange. :)

    Keep your losses coming!! So far our highest loss is 5.5 lbs! That is phenomenal! But dont forget folks, you only need to lose 2lb a week, which is SUPER realistic, in order to reach our goal of 20LBS BY XMAAAASSSSSSSS!!!

    I am touched by the amount of thank you's I am recieving for setting up this challenge. I am proud to be a motivating factor in so many people wanting to improve their lives! Although its not always going to be easy, I feel blessed that I can chat on this thread, or with my fellow challengers who offer so much motivation and support! I hope each of you take advantage of the vast amount of support on offer via this thread and on MFP as a whole!

    Thanks for sharing this journey with me! Now, lets hear some more great results :D

    (Please state your actual weight lost in email/thread and not your actual weight! Thanks guys!)

    Hey guys

    Well done to everyone on your weight losses.

    Ive just weighed myself but unsure whether to count my loss due to me being ill this week - I have lost 7lbs and on a normal week i would be very chuffed with this, however I had a horrid tummy bug causing me to be sick so i know i could easily put some of this back on this week.

    What do you all think???

    i had the same thing a few weeks back was sick for a full 24hours and couldnt eat for more - i registered a 5lb loss that week the following week i was up 2lbs so i'd lost a true 3lbs that week but an extra 2 with the sickness.

    if i was in the same position again i'd only log a 2lb loss becasue thats my average weightloss per week then take a clear reading the week after.

    what you dont want to do is to log a 7lb loss for your true loss only to be 3lbs then come next week register a gain..

    hope that makes sense?

    are you feeling any better?

    Good losses so far this week. I've been really watching my diet and trying to at least force myself to walk to my mailbox (which is half a mile) each day if I don't do any other exercise. So far it has worked.

    Week 1 in the Christmas challege is 5.2 pounds for me!!!

    195 lbs. That is 2 lbs lost. Had a setback in the middle of the week with lots of eating out at parties but played catch up and got the water weight etc. back off.

    Nothing lost this week - although thankfully nothing gained! Stuck on a plateu at the moment - so frustrating!

    Hi! I'd like to join....missed the first weigh-in but can't wait til this week's...hopefully I'll be able to reach that 20 lb mark well before Christmas but if not, I'm glad there's a bunch of us in the same boat.
