Who is with me in this challenge? I am not competing with anyone but myself! I would like to loose 1.5-2 pds a week. If I hit a plateau, I will change up my routine. Right now, I am doing the elliptical 45 min in the am 5 times a week. I weigh 209 and I used to weigh 264 before I joined mfp. I am 5'8" and my first goal weight is 170 then it'll be 160.

    I'm in! My goal is to lose 10 pounds by Halloween, but I don't think I'm going to make that goal, so Christmas works fine for me too :)

    I'm in. I intend to be at my goal by the second week in December if not before, but what I fear most is maintenance. So, for New Years I want to still be at my goal weight. I'm not positive what my goal weight will be, I'm 6'1" and I'm pretty sure it will be somewhere between 160-175, I'll just have to wait and see where I feel like I look good again!

    I'm already in a challenge to a goal weight by Thanksgiving - but I'll still have roughly another 5 to go after that, so I'll shoot for New Year's to hit my ultimate goal weight! Good luck to everyone!

    Yes I did 3 rounds of Clomid all BFN's. I am hoping the weight loss will help.

    All of you have such smaller goals than I do... oh well..

    I changed my ticker to reflect the Challenge

    Alright! I am excited! 15 weeks until New Years so I am going with 209 this am. I am going to weigh myself next Saturday. Good luck everyone! If I feel good about my eating and working out, I think I'll check my weight on Monday. I can't weigh everyday though...I'll go crazy! :laugh:

    Great idea, I'm already in a challenge for Thanksgiving(US, so not ours here in Canada which is coming up in a couple of weeks).
    I would love to make a New Years goal with the rest of you guys!
    I started here a little less than 2 months ago. Starting weight 240, current weight 218-219 ( it jumps around a bit).
    Goal for New Years Eve 190.

    I think an official Saturday weigh-in sounds great.

    I lost 1.5 lbs this week. :happy:

    I will push it up a notch and hopefully hit 2lbs for next week. Good luck everyone.

    I weigh in Mondays then report where necessary when necessary. . .I was down 2.5 pounds this morning!!! Yea me!! I am sooo scared I'm going to hit a plateau as I only have 8 pounds left until I hit my goal weight. I started the 30 Day Shred last week so I'm hoping that by sticking with that it will help me stay conscious about eating healthy and fingers-crossed no plateau. Good luck to all!

    Bees - Great Job on the loss this week! Keep it up! 1.5 lbs is great!!

    Sjyates: You can do it! 2.5 lbs is awesome!!! If you start hitting a pleateu, start playing around with your calories a little which should put your body back to it's fat burning stage! You can do it!

    So excited for thsi week! Trying to hit at least 2lbs this week, which will put me back at my original weight loss... (gained 9lbs in August)..

    Thanks itsbigjoesgal!

    So, what is BFN on the clomid? I also took clomid for like 5 or 6 rounds and it didn't work for me. I finally went to a fertility specialist who determined that I had PCOS and clomid wasn't working for me. So, he put me on femara and I got pregnant the first round! I just wasn't ovulating due to the PCOS and the femara made me. Now I have a beautiful 5 1/2 month old daughter who is the best thing ever!

    I completely understand your frustration during the process - it took us 18 months to get pregnant. If you are looking for support, please let me know!

    15 pounds in 15 weeks, I'm in! Start 211.5. This will put me back below 200, that would be a great X-mas present to myself and the poor overworked buttons on my pants.

    I don't think there is an official weight in, I think everyone has their own!
