    I love how you set your Nov-Dec goal low in anticipation of your holiday struggles ;) Maybe I should've done that too. Great job on your success so far!
    Good morning ladies!! I'm so glad to see that many others have joined this challenge. I don't have the time to personally welcome you all, but I'm glad that you have decided to take this journey with us!

    I am SO SO SO SO SO glad to post my results for the past week. My recap is below:

    SW (before this challenge started): 327
    SW of this challenge: 302
    Goal weights:
    August 23rd - 292
    September - 282
    October - 272
    November - 262
    December - 260 - Lord knows I will struggle around the holidays!

    *drum roll*

    And my CW as of 07.30.2012 is 294.6!! That's down almost 8 pounds in a week and 3 days!!

    I credit my success to the fast that my husband and I were on where we ate an ABUNDANCE of fruits and vegetables over the past week. I still ate at least 1300 calories a day, but it was mainly fruits, veggies, and whole grain items. Apparently my system likes it :) We went back to normal eating on Saturday and Sunday, but everything in moderation of course with no weight gain. I'm excited, and looking forward to giving my system a good 'cleanse' like that once a month!

    Hi all! I'm in for the challenge :)

    My name is Jessica and I live in Texas. Right now I would like to lose about 5-7 pounds but am more interested in maintaining my weight until Christmas.

    My starting weight is 120 and I weighed 139 when I gave birth to my daughter almost 2 years ago. I'd like to get down to a goal weight of 115 and then see what happens from there. I could use the motivation to stay on my grind and I'm looking forward to doing the same for you all!

    Feel free to add me :)

    *Hi ladies! I just realized I didn't update my post with my goals!! I'm wanting to lose the last few pounds and they want to stick around!

    Hey girls, I just joined the group! I'm happy to be a part of this challenge. If I can get down to my goal it will be the best Christmas present I've ever received!!!!

    Height: 5'7
    Build: Hour Glass

    Starting: 196
    Goal: 150-140

    Current: 184
    Aug 25: 178
    Sept 25: 171
    Oct 25: 164
    Nov 25: 157
    Dec 25: 150

    I haven't decided if I want to go all the way to 140.. I've never been that light so I'm not sure how I would look. I do love my curves and my big hips so I'll probably stop at 150. We'll see.

    I think this challenge is very doable!!! I'm very excited for all of us!!!
