hi MFP-ers!
welcome to the new challenge to get to our goals in 2010! :drinker:
it is easier to achieve something when you know that you have friends and support to help you :flowerforyou:
whether you have 100+ pounds to lose or are struggling with those last stubborn five pounds, we all have something valuable to offer!
we will share tips, stories, websites, ideas or recipies to help us to get to a healthy BMI and generally happy place in relation to our health and weight
everyone is welcome to join the group
weigh in days will be THURSDAY, we want to start the last day of 2009 as we mean to go on in 2010, so if everyone could post your start weight on thursday that would be great
this challenge will continue throughout 2010 so we need lots of people to offer different opinions and advice (and please remember that nobody here knows better than a health care professional and if you are unsure about anything consult a professional asap)
so, lets get started people!
lots of love,
Emma :bigsmile:

Count me in too!
Mamakatspokane - I live in Spokane too
I've got 15-20 to lose...I will reassess how I feel at 15 to see if I want to push for the 20 or if I am comfortable. Currently I am in an intensive one year Masters in Teaching program...which means I am taking night classes (some weekends), in addition to student teaching. This equals STRESS! So I've gained almost 10 pounds since starting the program in June due to stress eating, eating at odd hours...forgetting food and having to grab fast food an lack of time for the gym.
Goals: hit the gym in the mornings rather than after school....something always gets in the way
eat my targeted 1400-1600 cal/day
cut my drinking down
I'm also giving myself a "treat" every 5 pounds down....at 5 I get a pedicure, 10 not sure and 15 a new purse
I'm also a fan of daily meal/exercise posting. This has worked for me in the past....anyone else care to join me in doing this...it would look pretty boring with just me posting these everyday haha0 -
welcome to the challenge guys! :bigsmile:
we will keep going with this thread every week and one of us will come up with a new challenge every week, i will do the first one and then the first one to volunteer gets to think of the next challenge, if nobody volunteers, then i will do it
lets get motivated everyone0 -
I"m in, I want to lose 20-25 pounds!0
-
Im in! I want to lose around 45 lbs.0
-
I'm game! Looking forward to witnessing each and every success each of us has no matter how big or small!! Bring it on 2010!!!0

I really need to a kick in the butt! I've been on again off again for some time and have gained (i haven't officially checked) everything I have lost in the past and then a little. I'll hopefully be able to join a gym soon and work on everything a little at time so it'll stick!0

hey!
i have been on some other challenges but I get bored fast. However, i lost ten lbs with the red high heel challenge and have kept it off. I am struggling with the last ten. But more importantly my goals are (and are similar to another member):
"hit the gym in the mornings rather than after school....something always gets in the way
eat my targeted 1400-1600 cal/day
cut my drinking down "
I don't go to the gym, but I do work out at home, and I am way too busy to work out after school...I get burnt out too quickly by trying to take on too much. But, I think I can manage it in the mornings. I would really like to stick with my dvd's or at least take a walk/jog in the morning to get some fresh air. I often coop myself up inside so I think that would be good.
Also I would love to mantain my cals. My maintenance calories are 1800, so my goal is to stick to that, and hopefully go under for my weight loss goals.
See you guys on Thursday!0
