    Goal Non-Scale Victory: workout at least 3x's/week if not more. be a little more tone by Christmas.

    Challenge #1: Analyze what was good/bad about Thanksgiving (or a recent holiday) for your healthy lifestyle. What could you have done better (if anything)? How will you conquer this holiday season?

    I actually didn't do too bad on Thanksgiving, except for the desserts. I tried the red velvet cheesecake... and the chocolate texas scratch cake... and a cream puff... and a piece of pumpkin roll... and some chocolate-drizzled popcorn. *sigh* so, yeah... i guess you could say thanksgiving was actually a food disaster. LOL.

    I had a hard time getting back on track after that too. For the next couple of days I was over my calorie count per day by anything from 1-300 calories. I did workout every day though (except Sunday).

    I will simply have to practice more self-control and really push hard in the gym and at home when I work out... oh, and avoid the dessert table on Christmas. :)

    I start training with my personal trainer tonight - so i'm pretty excited about that! :)

    Goal Non-Scale Victory: To get that "you look amazing! I barely recognized you!" on Christmas, since I haven't seen some family members for a year.

    Look into the challenges and see which one(s) you would like to try first: #1: I found myself SNEAKING food well after I was so beyond full. Going to enjoy Christmas, but make sure that when I'm eating I'm also enjoying people's company.

    Hello everyone! I'm 5'4, 176 pounds as of today. I started out at 184 and have been consistently losing one pound per week through exercise for one hour, four times a week. And healthy eating all day, everyday. My Christmas Eve goal is to be under 170.

    I love trying new foods so challenges #2 & #4 will be no problem for me. This will also help in terms of the holidays too. I want to try to create a meal plan that works for me and stick to it... regardless of how busy my days get or all of the holiday parties I will be attending.

    Goal Non-Scale Victory: To get back on track with exercising at least 6 days each week and logging everything I eat - daily!

    Challenge 1: This year I was very good with not taking a bunch of leftovers home with me. That helped! I enjoyed Thanksgiving meal, but didn't have it each day for the following few days. What I didn't do so good was keep on track with logging and jump back on a good eating plan. Too many dinners out, tailgates, etc. this past weekend and the scale is up two pounds as a result. So, for my Christmas Eve goal I want to lose those 2 pounds I gained and an additional 10. This is a huge number for me in a month, based on my previous few weeks averages, but I'm going to try and up my activity and get back on track with eating and hope I can get the scale moving down quickly again!

    Goal NSV: Develop faithfulness to a training program to prepare myself for my first 5K in February. Over the holidays it's going to be tempting to let other distractions keep me from exercise.

    Challenge I want to focus on is PORTION CONTROL and resisting temptation for sugar overload these next weeks ahead. So I guess, Challenge #5 would be my challenge as well. I want to find creative ways to trick my sugar tooth with low calorie / no sugar alternatives to my favorite holiday (high calorie/high sugar) treats.
