    I'd like to join too!

    Had surgery September 11th, down 45lbs since the start of my pre-op diet (2 weeks prior to surgery). Last week I hit one of my first big milestones, I made it under 250lbs. (yay!) My next goal, which I'd like to achieve by New Year's, is to make it to 220lbs (a loss of 27lbs).This is the weight I was when I met my ex-husband 10 years ago.

    Exercise-wise, I'd like to really get into more cardio. I do bootcamp twice a week and volleyball once a week. Would like to fill in at least 2 more days (or more) with some cardio.

    November 20th - 247lbs

    Goal by end of end of year 160.
    be closer to running a 5K (no walking)

    11-1-12 = 169.0
    11-5-12 = 168.4 (-0.6) = running 25 minutes solid.
    11-12-12 = 164.4 (-4.0) = running 26 minutes solid. I have never had a 4 pound week, wow.
    11-19-12 = 164.8 (+0.4) = running 28 minutes solid. gain but still well in advance of projected average.
    11-26-12 = 165.2 (+0.4) = running 30 minutes solid. Gain again but I'm beginning to show signs of starting my cycle.

What an amazing half a year this has been for me. I've lost 7.4lbs in 3 weeks. i think I can lose the extra 10 I have to hit goal in the next 5 weeks. Fingers crossedxxx!!

    Progress:

    10/30/12 - 305.00
    11/29/12 - 274.20

    31 lbs gone. My goal was 35, so I think I need to adjust. New goal is 50 total.

    No progress made on strength training routine. So, have 5 weeks in Dec to make some progress there.

    Nov 5th - 283.8 (-4.6lbs)
    Nov 12 - 280.0 (-3.8lbs)
    Nov 19 - 276.6 (-3.4lbs)

    Dec 17
    Dec 24
    Dec 31

    As of today, Dec 3rd, I've lost 17.4lbs which is half of my goal. My original goal was to loose 35 in this challenge but truth is I'd be happy with loosing another 14lbs cause that would bring me to an even 100lbs lost this year!
