OK, who's in? It's only 2 weeks and a couple of days until Christmas. I'm going to see family and friends that haven't seen me in a couple of months. I want them to NOTICE that I am making progress. I am going to adjust my levels to losing 2 lbs a week and I will try VERY hard to do my cardio every day!
Always better to see it in writing!
Yea US!!!!

I've just been playing around with my settings, and to be losing 2lbs a week (which I'd like) I have to take my calories down to 600! I guess I'll just have to stick with being the tortoise rather than the hare and wait till next Christmas to wow everybody. Lucky tall people!0

Anne, I by no means meant that everyone should change to 2 lbs a week. Everybody's system is different and as you stated, some of us are tall. lol
I meant it more as a push to be even more vigilant in whatever strategy we are personally using.
I have to be careful with fatty foods and carbs. I do best with more chicken and rice. I'm going to make some split pea soup later today.0 -
I'm In!! We also are going away for the Christmas weekend and I want some notice.0

I am in! I have to watch more anyway because I ordered stuffed shrimp to eat as part of our meal and I want to enjoy a little melted butter with it. LOL Yes, I am going to be going over that day but there is nothing stopping me from really paying attention what I eat between now and then so I can enjoy the day to a point. And stuffed shrimp is part of my enjoyment since I don't eat them for the rest of the year. Hubby is getting what he likes as well with my marinated steak so we are having a surf and turf for the holiday. Yum! I can hardly wait but I will use portion control so I won't go over too bad.0

I am definately in with you all. I love a challenge and during the winter holidays I usually gain. This year I want to be a LOSER. Ha Ha. Did a little math and set a goal for myself. Would like to be in Onderland by my 28th Anniversary on May 12th. That means a weight loss of 22 pounds in 22 weeks. I am so excited because I WILL ACOMPLISH MY GOAL.0

I'm in. I got to stay motivated and this may be just the push I need.0
