Hi all!
We are just over 4 weeks until New Years! 2.5 pounds/week to lose those 10! Who's in with me? It's a bit of a stretch... but if we bring it, I'm sure we can do it!

SW: 159
GW: 149

I weigh in Saturday, that's my cheat day. But I may skip it until Christmas, so I can ENJOY a good turkey dinner... and still reach my goal!

    I'll accept the challenge, too! I don't really weigh in a certain day (I've only been dieting for like two weeks, and joined MFP yesterday xD), but I guess I can do it on Fridays :smile:

    Hi there,

    I made a list in August with an item saying to reach a certain goal weight by end of 2012. Since then I have put on about 7lb! As of last Sunday I need to lose 13lb to make that target., so I'm with you.

    it'll also leave me 12lbs off my target weight (i think) so it will definitely help

    feel blah today, got to get my eating and exercise routine sorted - am all over the place. Hopefully I will have lost weight when I weigh in on Sunday though.
    How's the week been for everyone?

    I'm working back shifts for a few days which is always tricky as I'm a late night muncher, back to early shift in tues though so 7pm bed time stops me craving!

    COOL!! First challenge for me on this site! I needed something like this to get and keep me motivated. I'm totally in!! Thanksgiving DID me IN and I need a new start so I don't slide further away from my goals before the new year. Holidays are TOUGH but being able to blog with others will help.

    Let's DO this! :)

    Id like to jump in as well. Are you going to be making an actual group to better track things?
  • jeweljeans

    Great idea on the group! Started one... Search: 10 pounds for New Years! I think I invited everyone, if I missed you, Sorry! Or I may have misspelled your name. ???? Everyone welcome!
