As of September the 24th, there will be exactly 14 weeks left until December 31st....

I am starting a challenge for anyone who would like to join. The rules are easy.... Set an amount of pounds you would like to lose by December 31st, and stick to it. Weight ins will be every Monday. Please get me your numbers before midnight. For all my Uk friends, I think this will be like Sunday for you... not sure on that one.

Personally, I would like to lost at least 15 lbs. This averages out to be just a hair over a pound a week. If I lose more, great!

I will also be offering a $20 itunes gift card to the person who has lost the most weight at the end of the challenge.

If you are interested in joining, please send me mail and let me know your current weight, goal to lose, and goal weight you hope to be on December 31st!
I will be making a spreadsheet to keep track of everyone!

Good Luck!

    Week 1: 87.8kg or 193.16lbs. Loss of 2.8kg or 6.16lbs this week. Huge loss I know, I am pretty sure that it was mostly water, as I really started making sure I drank my 3 x bottles each day (total of 2L). I hardly exercised this week as well due to bike issues and not feeling well earlier in the week.

    Weigh-ins are only a couple of days away!

    How do you feel you did this week?
    If you are like me, you do not look at the scale until weigh-in day. Overall I feel that I did good. I am already starting to notice a difference in my energy level. I no longer feel slugish after I eat... I think thats because I am not eating junk food and fast food that used to bring me down.
    I am also starting 30DS on October 1st. There is a group here that started the challenge.
    Here is the link for those who would like to join. If you join, drop me a line.

    I lost a pound. Not too bad since I had hit a plateau and I have been at 163.6 for almost 4 months. This 14 week challenge may just be what I need to get over the plateau.
