    I'm in! My other weightloss challenge has kind of fizzled out. I was 191.6 a week ago and some late nights at work w/ dinner have put me back up a few. Will post official starting weight for this challenge on Monday. 30 lbs by Christmas would be superb!!

    Welcome to all of the new members of the 30 pounds by Christmas Challenge!! Weigh in is 2 days aways and I'm so nervous!! Did not have a good weekend nutritionally speaking. So I'm hoping I can still have some sort of loss!! But everyone is doing great and I'm so proud of each and every one of us for taking this step into a healthy lifestyle.

    I am shooting for 40 by year end, so I am definately with you. The program has me on 1200 calories per day, but I am breastfeeding and won't be done until she is a year old, which is 3 months away. Does anyone know how many calories I can take in to sustain breastfeeding and still lose 2 pounds per week. I have breastfed all of my kids until they are 1 and don't want to have to cut this one short. Suggestions??

    So 2nd weigh in. As expected I lost next to nothing. Well I lost almost half a pound but I don't really want to count that. I am ok with it though. It was a bank holiday weekend here and I only exercised once had pizza twice and quite a big night out. So I think I should be glad I haven't gained :smile:

    Next week will be a better result hopefully!

    Well done to all the losers though and keep it up!!!

    Have a lovely week everyone!

    Daisy

    Starting weight 25/08 : 165.88 (75.4k)
    2nd weigh in 01/09 : 165.44 (75.2)
    Goal weight 25/12 : 135.00 (62.0k)

    I'm in. How do we keep track of each other? I need all the friend support I can get. Hubby keeps trying to get me to buy pizza or fast food. Co workers are worse.

    I'm just starting this loooooong journey. Stumbled upong the website today and, well, let's just say it must be a sign. 30 pounds by Christmas sounds like a good goal to get moving with.

    I want in too. So how do we stay in contact. I just started and am very new to this blogging thing. I am so excited and I really need a support system. I only have a few people who are really supportive and the rest are inhibitors. I can't wait. I feel like I have already lost weight

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Hello Big Losers...;) (Losers- in the affectionate, positive way, of course..) :happy: :bigsmile:

    Week 2 of the Christmas challenge, and ta daa -
    I am down 3 more pounds for a total of 8!!! (whoo hoo - do the happy dance)
    22 to go.
    Got a few struggles the next few days and next weekend so need to pound down the water and hit the exercise~

    Dannielle - Thanks so much for setting this link up!

    Daisy - LOVE the signature pic!

    Jodi - Don't be discouraged - if you're doing right - it will catch up and so often you see and feel the difference before the scale does - muscle weighs more than fat, etc. :) Keep your chin up:flowerforyou:

    Jena - LOVE your enthusiasm and positivity! Thanks for the inspiration - here's to you... :drinker:
