Operation: Sexy Claus Challenge (CLOSED GROUP)

Krys_T

Hello all! Well this thread is to post the list of those who said they wanted to participate in the challenge. It will start Monday, September 19th and go until December 19th! So just in time for the new year! The goal is to lost 15lbs (Although this is not the make or break number) I just want a number for us to strive for. Some may lose less, some more, but I want us to lose something and gain the confidence and support that all of us need.

Weigh-Ins will be weekly on Mondays and during the week we will talk about our highs and lows, workout routines, calories goals, etc.

How much you have lost so far: almost 30
Weight Loss Goal: to get to 185 for my wedding in June ... overall goal 125
Current Workout Regimen: 30 day shred
Why you joined the challenge: Honestly, I've been through all of krys's challenges and she keeps me in check, if it wasnt for the last challenge with everything going on in my life I probably would have gained all 30lbs back. With the first group I lost 15. I need a support system to talk with it helps me so much! I am so blessed to have a virtual friendship and support system with all of you.

A little about your personal journey....
I am 25 recently engaged and planning a wedding for June I have been overweight all of my life. Can remember wishing as a child to be just as small as the other girls. I can remember the doctors never handled the weight situation the right way. Always telling me I was overweight never saying what I should do to help myself. I also remember being 10 and the doctor telling me if I stayed this weight for the next 8 years I'd be a normal weight..... Food has always been comforting to me, big italian family, food rules every event. Some family issues that I dealt with by turning to food. Now I am being proactive about. Focusing on eatting correctly and exercising. Its going to be a LONG journey and I will need all the support/advice I can get. I have ups and downs and still turn to food. I am really hoping to try to find a new outlet for when I am upset.

A little about your personal journey....

I have been heavy my WHOLE life....and it was really starting to limit the things i could and could not do.....and I hated that. If i want to climb a mtn or ride a bike...i need to be fit enough to do it. Plus, frankly, my bf and I are seriously talking about starting a family...and I want to be healthy for that as well.

A little about your personal journey....
Years ago I started researching healthy ways to lose weight, and I lost (and gained and lost) 10 pounds on my own before joining Weight Watchers years later. I lost 20 pounds about a year and a half ago with Weight Watchers, but let 11 pounds creep back on me, and that's what I'm working off now.

This is the perfect challenge to get me through the holidays! Thanks, Krys.

Well.... Just had a baby 7/12 after trying for about 9 or 10 yrs and having multiple miss carriages. After I had her I weighed 254 lbs!! I have been making excuses why I can't because I have to go to work, watch her, clean,cook, etc....etc.... No more I need to stop being lazy and just do it. I have signed up for a 5k run in December and this will be perfect!!!!

Hi I am Brooke and I live just outside Myrtle Beach, SC. I am 5'7'' and am currently 203 lbs. I started my journey last October weighing around 220. I was down to about 191 by the end of November when I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child. The morning I gave birth to my son (August 10th of this year) I weighed 230. I just started counting calories again about a week ago and lost almost 6 since starting back! I haven't started working out yet because I am still trying to get into a routine with my boys (2 yrs old and almost 6 weeks old) but I plan on getting back into things this by the time the challange starts! I dont have access to the gym so I will be walking as well as doing some workout videos at my house. I joined this challange mainly to get my butt back in gear! This is my first challange and I feel like it will keep me more accountale for the working out. I dont really have a problem with the healthy eating/staying within my calories but its getting the workouts in that has been rough so far. My goal for this challange is to lose 20-25 lbs.

Why you joined the challenge: honestly, i need that extra kick in the butt. i'm standing up in one of my best friend's weddings next september and i wanna be at my goal weight then so its time to buckle down and get it done!

A little about your personal journey....
well, i have been overweight pretty much my entire life. i remember being a size 12 by 8th grade. over the years and especially once i stopped playing sports and started working, i gained and gained. college really did me in, to the point where i didn't even realize how bad i had let myself go. a few bad doctors appointments stepping on the scale made me realize how bad it was and from that point on i vowed to change my life and get back to the person i was in high school. that was in july of 2010. august 1, 2010 was when i joined MFP and in a year i lost 40lbs. slow and steady (also hit a few plateaus along the way). after getting frustrated with plateaus, i lost motivation for a few months this year but managed to only gain about 5lbs back. when my friend asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding next year, that was just the motivation i needed to keep going on my journey. i am back, full fledged and determined to lose all the weight i gained plus more. i want the second half of my twenties (and the rest of my life) to be healthy and happy. i'm hoping to lose about 20lbs in this challenge. hitting 199 on the scale will be a HUGE accomplishment for me, as i haven't seen that number in about 7 years. i can't wait to get there with all of your support! please feel free to friend me! we can do this together!
