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.. I already have a goal of 36lbs by Christmas which started 2 weeks ago.. So I will take on this challenge.. that' 30 lbs by the end of the year which will put me at below my first goal. I use to be 297 (yikes!) am now 270 and shooting for 250 ...then 220!0

itsbigjoesgal- Wow, you tried Clomid too! Back in June, I had a clomid baby. Good luck with the weight loss!0
-
I'm in. My starting weight was 192, I'm currently 181, I'd like to be in the 150's by NY.0

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

Halloween is in 6 weeks. You can totally lose 10 lbs in 6 weeks, by Halloween..... Be positive and set a workout schedule! :flowerforyou:0 -
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!0

I'm in! I would love for Christmas time to roll around and all my family goes "WOW You look amazing!" :happy:0

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!0

I am in! I want to lose 15lbs by New Years! This is going to be tough but I am ready for the challenge. Currently I weight 172, so I would liek to be around 157! Lets do it people!0

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 Challenge0 -
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:

yeay!!! Official weight in - I lost 4lbs!!... what a great way to start0
-
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.0 -
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!0

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)..0 -
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!0 -
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.0
-
i'm a bit late, but i'd like to join too. do we have to weigh in on saturday? i'm set up for wednesdays right now, but i can change it if need be! let's see...i'm hovering around 212 right now...i'm going to make my goal 199 by 1/1/11. that's 13 pounds to lose, and 13 *is* my lucky number, so i especially dig it. back to onederland by new years....that would rock. good luck everyone!0
-
I don't think there is an official weight in, I think everyone has their own!0
-
I would love to join in. My goal is 25lbs. by New Years.
Good luck everyone!0 -
I'm in too! I would like to lose 15lbs by New Years! That would put me at 135lbs. Something to aim for before my May 2011 goal of 120-115lbs. It will be fun watching everyone lose the weight together.0
-
weigh in today! down 2.2 pounds! yay! now i only have 11.8 pounds to lose to reach my new year's goal - i may consider upping my goal, but i'm not going to decide quite yet...maybe after 2 more weigh-ins i'll re-evaluate. good luck everyone!0
-
Awesome good job! No official weigh-in date. I was thinking Fridays due to Dec 31. So this Friday, it will be 14 weeks until New Years and I weighed today and I lost 2 pounds total so I weigh 207.5! Yippee!0
-
Lost 1 pound! So far I have lost 2 lbs since I started tracking. That's a pound a week. Pretty good average if I can keep it up!!0
-
Good job everyone! I'm making my official weigh in day Monday so I will post again then.0
-
Great Job on all the losses!!! Way to go.. this week my weight is sticking to my original loss from last week, but I am hoping come Saturday I will be done. Especially since I started the C25K this week and have been working really hard!0
-
How's everyone doing??? New Years will be here before we know it!!!
I was supposed to weigh in this morning, but given my weekend, I'll be getting on the scale tomorrow. . .be back to post then!0 -
Weighed in this morning & lost 2 pounds. :happy:0
-
I'm a little late getting onto this, but would love to participate against myself. I've set the goal of 30lbs by New Years. Good luck everyone!0
-
So I weighed this morning and I'm up 1/2 a pound :grumble: . . .but given the past week, I'm happy with it. Hopefully this week I can lose that plus some. I have a better plan this week - now I just have to stick to it!!0
