10 pound countdown to the New Year....

NewMK08

Is there going to be an official weigh in day?? To check in once a week or something?

Lyn_Matthews

I'll join, my mini goal is to get to pre preg weight by Christmas so I have 7 to lose by then. I can do 10 lbs by new years!!

Must drink water Must drink Water MUST DRINK WATER. I've been trying to drink over 100 oz every day. It's a lot easier then I thought it would be. I usually get half down in the morning and the finish the other half from lunch to bedtime.

Good luck to everyone. We can do it!

Tips: I like to go for walks with my family around Christmas. We can talk and admire the Christmas decorations and it also helps with digestion . Now, mind you, that's in Europe...

I want to join!! I want to join!! I just walked for the first time yesterday since my surgery, 1st time in 3 weeks. I figure if I could go through 3 weeks with NO exercise AND Thanksgiving and lose 2 more pounds then I would LOVE to be 10 pounds lighter by the new year!! I REALLY need the encouragement and you guys and girls are the BOMB!!:bigsmile:

Skittles6617

I will join. I am beating myself up today and my friend has talked me into joining. sigh...... I really need to lose 20 by Valentine's Day , so to lose 10 by the end of the year would really jump start me again. :sad:

hgam1

I'll like to join this. I still have 13lb to go to my target weight, so a good way to get there sooner. Please count me in.

Keep us updated on progress but we'll officially check in on Mondays - you can post it or send me a PM and I'll post all of our progress......

The ball is dropping and the countdown has begun--we need **** Clark! :laugh:

DjBliss05

Heh, love that you had to censor Mr. Clark's first name!! LoL.

So I'll add another "Must drink water!" to the chant! I'm really terrible with the water. I just broke down and bought a big thing of bottled water to make myself drink at least one or two a day... I've probably had two all week! Terrible...

I plan on getting back to the gym very soon (hopefully today) and keeping up with 4x a week in the gym. I also plan to get back on track with counting calories and staying within my goals. I was off track for a few weeks because I decided I needed to take a break to quit smoking first. Now I am smoke free for 4 days (and a half!) and ready to get back to work.

STACYESPARZA

DJbliss...
try those little no calorie flavor packets in your water...
I put some in mine and it really helps with the water...
I also eat spicy so I tend to drink more too...
Just some tips

chrissyh

Heh, love that you had to censor Mr. Clark's first name!! LoL.

How funny - I actually typed it and I guess we have a great site to censor for us! I didn't even think about it.

I find I can drink a lot more water faster if at room temp. If it's ice cold I like it ok but I find that I chug and I REALLY chug it down at room temp--my husband makes fun of me cuz I drink about 8 oz in one drink!

spicy foods is a great way to get it in - here I am talking water and I just realized I've been busy at work and haven't had any - off to a 32 oz haven of Smart Water!

Im the opposite. My water has to be ice cold or else I cant drink it. If its really cold it tastes so good then.

Marvellous idea this...so, are we going to have an official day to weigh in?

Actually someone should try and convince Tall_t to join this challenge. She'll soon whip it all into shape and organise it all....She is superb!

Sweettart

I just wanted to let you everyone in the 10lb challenge that I am already 4.8lbs down!!!!! I wasn't going to weight myself till sat but I just couldnt take it anymore!!!!!

Good Luck Everyone!!!!!! :drinker:

Anna_Banana

I would like to lose 5. Well I would like to lose 10 or 15, but I'm shooting for 5. I really need to get under the stupid 160's.

right now I'm 162 goal is 157.

Jackie_W

When I first joined this fab challenge, I was 221lbs, I've been doing really well - even if I do say so myself, so, I think the losing 10 pounds is a definate goal for me, I've lost 5 pounds since my last posting, so I stand corrected: I CAN DO THIS by New Year :bigsmile:

chrissyh

Sweettart and Jackie_W you are doing great! I've lost 1.6 since we started so 7.2 to go--I am less than 5 pounds away from getting out of the 200s and a loss of over 40.......(see me biting my finger nails!)

Official weigh in will be on Monday!

Sweettart

Chrissyh: Keep up the great work! You can and will do this!
Remember......:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

chrissyh

Anyone know a hypnotist - maybe they could get us to drink more water.......
