    I would really like to lose 5lbs in January! I haven't stepped on a scale in about a week now due to travel & Christmas festivities :noway: It's probably been good for me since I tend to obsess a bit about the scale, but I still hope to see the same number as last week!!! I'll be back on the 1st to post my current weigh-in!!!

    What days do we check-in for this thread?

    Yay!!! So glad to see you here!!!

    As for check in days, it's whenever you weigh in, no set date. :)

    Well I was going to wait until tomorrow to post my weight because I like Sunday weigh-ins but being the very first day of the year I figured I would start at Day 1.

    It is up from yesterday a bit but better then it has been.

    January Starting Weight ---- 144.4lbs


    Good Luck all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
  • Okay, I weighed this morning and my ticker reflects my current status. So, I plan to weigh February 1st and that will show if I reached my monthly mini goal. Happy New Year's everyone! :drinker:
  • Hi everyone. I'm back for the 5th month in a row. Have made the challenge every month except November and even then, I lost 4.6 lbs. This challenge really motivated me.

    Jan 1 - 187
    Goal - 182

    HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MANY WISHES FOR A HEALTHY, HAPPY NEW YEAR. :flowerforyou:
  • I'm in and ready to get this thing started! Good luck everyone!

    I'm in. I'll post my starting weight on Monday as well. I just lost 2.6 pounds doing the TF Inferno plan, and I appear to have put that back on in one New Year's Eve day. Ugh! I hope to get back down before Monday, since I want to be no more than 148 by my 30th birthday (1/28).

    Hi Terry!
    Losing 30 pounds by July would be awesome! I had major surgery last March (cervical fusion, 3 levels). I put on some weight while I was in recovery mode and I am ready to commit to taking some of it off. I know I have to modify some of my exercises but for the most part I am good to go! My biggest challenge will be like everyone else, watching my calorie intake and keeping up with exercise. I appreciate your enthusiasm and wish you best of luck in achieving your weight loss goals!

    Jan 31st [goal of 168.6]

    I'm up almost 2lbs since I last weighed in on December 23rd, but I'm not going to dwell on that! I just need to refocus & get my butt back to the gym 4-5 days a week!!! For the last 2 weeks I have been in & out of the dr with kidney stones & a kidney infection & then I was away from home for 1 week straight eating my mom's homemade cooking as well as my MIL delcious foods... I should be able to lose 5lbs this month...I hope!:smile:
  • I'm in too! happy new year!

    Happy New Year!

    Jan 1: 145

    This is a pound less than Dec 31. Woohoo! I gained 3 lbs in December instead of losing 5 lbs. But I lost 2.25 inches in December. I don't know what to expect from January. But I need to cross back over that 144 pound mark which is the "Overweight" line on the BMI.

    Good luck everyone! And blessings on a great year!

    This is a two pound gain since Dec 1st. Blame it on lack of exercise and the holiday. I bought new sneakers (Shape Ups) and plan on walking or working on eliptical daily. My initial mini goal was to be 155 by Jan 22, I am working to get to a healthy BMI, seeing that I fall in Overweight is motivation enough. Good luck everyone!
    Not sure how this will work, do we post updates weekly? Looking for support and motivation to keep this going, please friend me..

    CW: 161 BMI: 27
    1st GW: 155 BMI 26 (by Jan 22)

    Well I have to start the New Year out right & changed my ticker back to reflect my gain over the past week. :ohwell: After this weekend is over, I will be back at kicking my butt! I've been stuck in this 201-209 weigh-ins since October! I'm Sooooooo done with the 200s! Come on ONEderland! I know I've been saying it forever, but I REALLY have to do it for myself this month. NO MATTER WHAT!
