Skinny for Santa Challenge.

Hey everyone!
Well it is coming up to that anxious part of the year, where you go and see all your relatives and they all look brilliant because they've lost all this weight. (Or are those awful third cousins who inherited all the skinny genes and aren't afraid to wear them. :sick: )
This year, I've decided I want to be that relative, the one who is looking significantly slimmer by Christmas day. I want to look reasonable in my Christmas dress!
I was thinking of getting a small group together (5-25 people?) to support one another, I will post a table with everyone's loss every week and we can all encourage one another.
So here it goes!
The Objective:
- Lose the most amount of weight possible by Christmas Day. (Make other relatives jealous.)
- Drink 2.5-2 litres (8 glasses) of water a day.
- Have a minimum of three 30 minute work outs a week. Even if it is just a casual walk.
- Weigh in on Friday and I'll message everyone for their totals to update the table.
So! Does anyone want to join me?
Just post your starting weight for the challenge and how many pounds or kilos you would like to drop by Christmas Also it would be helpful to know if their is a majority of what system of measurement you would like to use: Kilo or Pound?
So! I'm Sarah.
Starting weight: 83.2 kilos. (183.4 pounds)
Goal weight by Christmas: 75.2 kilos. (165.7 pounds)
Loss of: 8.2 kilos. (18 pounds)

No worries! It's great to see everyone
Well, You don't have to worry about posting your weightloss here on Fridays. I will message each of you and ask on Friday and then update the table.
When I message you, I will message you the link for this thread so you don't have to find it yourself.
The link to the table that will be updated by the following morning.
I'll post here every time I complete the updated table so you can all have a look0 -

I don't have a lot to lose but I have to do it slow so I don't lose my hard earned muscle from last years training.0 -
Brilliant! That should do us, if a few extra people are really in need of support surely they can join, but I'd like to keep it small!
Welcome everyone, I'll get this challenge up and running!0 -

Hello I would like to join this awesome challenge.
My CW is 150 & I would love to hit 140 by Christmas. I am making a goal to lose 10 lbs, but if I lose more than that will be a wonderful gift for me at Christmas time.
I hope it is not too late to join.
