    Sounds good! Need some motivation to lose the last 10 pounds! Get back into working out 5-6 days a week :) at least 30 min. Cut down on portions, alcohol consumption, increase veggies, and improve my waistline!

    I think I will join. Right now I have been at a plateau for several months. Maybe adding a second challenge can help.

    SW: 185.6
    GW: 169.0
    UGW: 160.0

    I will be doing cardio--mostly Zumba. Can't really run since I am still recovering from a broken toe; hence, there is a lot of stuff in Zumba that I can't do.

    HELP ME GET PAST THIS 180 PLATEAU!!

  • Count me in too! I'm also new to the site (this is day 16) and am so happy I joined! I've used calorie counters before, but this is great because of all the added support. The group I've become friends with are amazing, and I welcome more so feel free to add me! My starting weight was 210.8 lbs. as of August 22nd of this year, and today I weighed in at 191.2! I'm hoping to break into the 20 pound weight loss goal by this Sunday. :-)

    My Christmas Challenge...
    Starting Weight: 191.2
    Goal Weight: 160.0
    I need to be able to fit into the clothes I could wear two years ago!!! I also want to be able to run a few miles again without feeling like I'm going to pass out. :-)

    Best of luck to all of you!!! I can't wait until we all reach our goals.
  • Just an update; I reached my goal of losing 20 lbs. by tomorrow! :-) Wonderful feeling! 60 lbs. more to reach my ultimate goal, and 30 lbs. to reach my Christmas Challenge goal!
