Hello everyone
I am so glad I am not alone with having the desire for chocolate!
I must confess I had a blue bunny ice cream bar that was only 100 calories, but I wish I had the willpower to not eat it.
Tomorrow, I am going to walk with my daughter to the park, & I hope I can burn the chocolate calories!
Good luck everyone on our weigh in this week.

It's my ticker...I'm trying to convinve everyone to copy it because I think it's cool! If you go on my profile, into my pics and save my "Christmas Challenge" pic to your eg. Desktop then go into your customised ticker thing on here and upload it as your pic you'll have the ticker too!
Happy tickering!

Hohoho Christmas Challengers!
How did you all get on over the weekend?!
I went for a verrrrrrrry long hike yesterday and was quite scared that someone was going to pull out some chocolate at the top of Simon's Seat and I'd be so hungry and tired I'd eat some...BUT! There was no chocolate, shock shock horror! So we had a sandwich, an apple and a banana each! Woop! :drinker:
We did go for a meal afterwards but I figure I deserved some roast turkey after about 5 hours of walking up hills through streams and over rocks...I did have dessert, profiteroles but the fake chocolate sauce stuff was just around the edge of the plate and I actually don't like it anyway so I just ate the actual buns, of which there were only two, so I'm ok with that!
I'm looking forward to (maybe that's silly) weighing in this week, I've hope I've lost my first pound successfully and I'm looking forward to the 13th Week of Christmas Challenge! Have any ideas been batted around for this?
BikiniMission suggested it could be trying to do 50 sit ups a day which I think is rather good! I think it's a good idea to mix and match the giving up some food item with the adding some exercise item in...what do you all think?
Happy Monday!

Welcome all you new Chrismas challengers!
Alright, I'm going to fess up - I had some chocolate yesterday - but totally not on purpose! I was at the county fair with my family and my husband and son ordered up some homechurned ice cream. I didn't want an order of my own (I just had a smoothie before we came) but when my husband offered me a bite I tasted it. It was chocolate and I didn't even think about it. I also sampled my son's which was mint chocolate chip, but it only had a smidge of chocolate in it ...
Anyway, I thought I'd come clean, but I truly wasn't even thinking about it at the time - just sampling a nice local treat. And they were both so good ~
WHEW! I feel better confessing! :happy: It was only a couple tastes :blushing: Hee hee ... lucky for me there are no penalties.
Much love to all - happy Monday!0 -

Hey guys!
If anyone has joined this challenge after last Wednesday you won't be on the charts yet - so many people have signed up it's hard to keep track! I know bikinimission worked really hard getting everyone on last week :drinker: thanks bikinimission and I'm sure any new Christmas Challengers will be added on this week ... bikinimission, if you want any help let me know!
Great work with adding the ticker everyone! Mimi xx xx 0 -

Hi everyone!
Well, I was doing well for a couple of days and then the weekend came and I caved in....I feel so sorry about it too, but I have to admit I did have some choclate on 3 occasions, only little bits though. But like I said before once I start it's so hard for me to not give in again. Needless to say I'm going to do the no choclate thing again starting today and my goal to to add it to this wednesday's challenge.
Cant' wait to see what this weeks challenge will be!!0 -

Hi bikini mission, I need to re-adjust my starting weight which should be 200lbs :noway: . I am on track for at least 1lb loss and I'm also doing the detox, so this should bring me back to my original 191! Thanks 0

Not tooooo confident in my weigh-in tomorrow, but haven't touched chocolate, and am intrigued about the announcement of next week's challenge.0

I know i've gained, cos i can feel it in my clothes.. yet i've stuck to 1250 - 1350ish.. i hope its water weight. Gutted. And i've not touched chocolate either0

Hi Bikinimission,
I am so sorry, I had to change my weight for this challenge. It will now be 153.4. I will only go down from there. Had a bad week food wise but I know it will get better. Again thanks for putting this together and helping to motivate us all to share in our struggles and hardships with weight loss!!

Okay... so I saw this and hope I can join. As initiation I read through all 9 pages of comments lol...
My stats:
Location: Louisiana, USA<<<<< yes, the food capital of the world! Most obese as well... can't help it we have good food :laugh:
I like: seafood , cooking, feeling thin, wearing really sexy clothes
I don't like: chaffing thighs, sweating, tight clothes that should fit, people that look down on me for eating healthy
Current typical or usual exercise: has changed since I just started school back- aiming for starting my TURBO FIRE though
Current Starting Weight: 172.2 lbs as of 9/17/10:noway:
Aim for next week: 171 as of 9/22/10
Personal 14 week Goal: To lose 14 lbs or fit in a size 8 which ever comes first :drinker:
I will not have any chocolate starting today until 9/29 just so I can feel like I am making up for lost time. This will be hard considering that tomorrow is my 4 year anniversary!0 -
Don't worry, I ate a whole bar of chocolate yesterday! Haven't done that for months!! It just gets so hard sometimes. i have stuck to my calories for the past three weeks, done regular exercise and only lost 3lbs. I really felt like giving up (again) but have decided to stick to it. Good luck and keep going!!0

Hey Challengers -- I'm excited about the weigh-in as well. I hope that I'm down. I made the mistake of trying on a pair of pre-pregnancy pants and it didn't go well. Looking forward to the challenge on Wednesday!0
