    sign me up!

    cw: 166
    gw: 151 ( by end of challenge )

    not sure I'll make the 15, but even getting a solid 10 lbs off my frame would be great! I'm pretty sure my days of 2+ lbs/week are leaving me :-)

    I am 100 percent in. 15 by Christmas!!! I'm 2 lbs away from the very lofty Halloween goal I set myself ( fingers crossed) so that should show you I love a good challenge. :) Add me, anyone. I log daily, and I'm very addicted to MFP. Could always use more motivating friends. :)

    Hey, how are we doing this?? Weigh-ins or goal checks on Monday or Friday... Little motivations each day...posting mini goals ...posting small achievements...

    I usually like to check-in every dayor so ..it helps keep me motivated.

    I kept to my goals yesterday and have done my exercise and drank my Mean Green Juice this morning . I plan on my evening walk and have a healthy dinner plannned. Now I just have to tackle my lunch...didn't plan for lunches yet...that is my goal next week.

    Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!

    Good Morning 15 by Christmas,

    Feeling good this morning and already did my 30 mins on treadmill. I added three boiled egg white, in addition to morning Green Juice, needed a little something extra this morning. Today is our Friday Lunch meeting out --- so I can't plan my lunch until I know what restaurant and look up the menu.

    So today is Friday - weigh in
    137.00 even

    My goals for the weekend is
    1.) Keep to my 1,200 cal.
    2.) Make sure I get my water in
    3.) Take my free Rope class at the local gym on Saturday
    4.) Limit one glass of wine (to have during the Saints game Sunday night) for the whole wekend. (my biggest Challenge)


    Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!

    How is everyone doing? I started on Tuesday with this, and am down another pound already. I think this was the motivation I needed. I don't want to tell my husband I am doing this, I want to see if he notices!! :-) Good luck everyone and keep on going!

    I'm in, but not 15 pounds or else I will lose my very small boobs and I can't risk that... haha, so I'm going to aim for 5-8 pounds.

    GW (for challenge): 125-128

    Weighed in this morning and I was down two pounds already. That could be water at this point, however. We'll see if it sticks. Exercise goals for this weekend: hit the gym at least once and try out that new Jillian Michaels DVD I haven't unwrapped yet. I'll definitely need more support next week when all the trick-or-treat candy hits the house!

    I would like to try this goal! 15lbs seems like a bit much, but then again, I think it may be doable given my current rise in weight.

    Current: 180lbs
    Goal by Christmas: 165lbs
    Ultimate Goal: 140lbs

    Hey, I'm looking for some motivation and thought I would be more successful with my weight loss if I found some other people to join in. Looking to lose 15 lbs by Christmas. (also getting rid of my leftover pregnancy weight gain).
    We can do weigh ins every 2 weeks to keep us motivated. Anyone else in?
    Starting weight: 146
    Goal weight: 131

    I've seen this thread and thought about it, then decided I probably couldn't do it. Finally I actually clicked on the thread and read it. You have almost exactly the same weight and goal as me! Therefore it was meant to be and I have to try lol. :tongue:

    Starting weight: 147
    Goal weight: 132

    Even if I'm somewhere in that ballpark by Christmas timeframe, I'll be happy!!

    I'm not sure I can do 15lbs by Christmas but I'm going to try for it!

    Current Weight=167.4lbs

    Long term goal is in the 120s. If I could get rid of 15 more pounds before 2012 is over, that would be SO awesome & it'd leave me with around 25 more pounds to go for 2013!

    Can we make a group or something? It might be easier to keep up with & follow?

    It would be great to make this a group, something that is easier to check. The only way I'll get through this is if I check in every day... scrolling to the last message isn't going to be that easy!

    Halloween candy is creeping towards me. I had 3 mini rolos this AM along with my green juice. Sounds gross but it happened. Need to stay accountable for my actions here! So far, spent two days in gym doing 35 minutes of cardio with some toning exercises. Also, I've found a 25 lb. kettlebell is a great way to get a quick cardio workout in as well as toning your whole body. I did 30 reps this AM while my toddler watched cartoons.

    I find it hard to get my water in as I feel I have to pee every 30 minutes. But will try today.

    Finally, I have an additional goal to add to Christmas deadline. I have never in my entire life been able to do a proper pushup. By Christmas, I want to do 10 perfect no-knee pushups nose to the floor style. Let's do this!

    Thanks for reading my rant ;)
