    I'm new here but love the group topic and would love to be apart of it to keep me focused. I was just saying the other day that I want to make as much progress as possible before Christmas because i don't want to look back at the pictures and be disgusted with myself.

    I feel exactly the same. We will be in them this year, and proud. (I normally hide or put a big chair or person in front of me so you can only see my head) x

    Hi! Hope you don't mind if I join you! I love this idea and am looking forward to being in holiday pics this year. I am turning 40 a month after Christmas and hope to be well on the way to a healthier me by then.

    Hi! Hope y'all don't mind me joining this group. I love the idea! I'm trying to start 2014 off with a bang, and what better way than to stay focused during the holidays:) It would be nice to feel confident in my holiday photos for once. Plus, I love Christmas!

    LOVE THIS!!! When I commented on your post on the forums I actually looked back at photos that were taken last Christmas. They were taken right before I started my journey January 1, 2013. I can already say that its much improved but any more weight loss will be my cherry on top of my sundae lol

    I am super excited about the group. My goal is to loose an additional 14 pounds by the end of the year. That will put me at a total weight loss of 60 pounds for the year!

    We should think of some daily/weekly challenges to keep us all moving and motivated!

    A few of us have suggested challenges and goal, brilliant idea!

    So our goal is to be looking good in our Christmas Photos, and lose as much as we can (in a healthy way) up till Christmas?!

    Daily challenge a couple of times a week - suggestions welcome! We need a Wednesday challenge for tomorrow - what shall we do??? ... :tongue:

    My goal for Wednesday is to eat fruit or healthy snacks only between 3 main meals, keeping them small!!! Sounds easy but I really struggle with snacking habits!!

    Have a good day x

    Good Timing! I'm one week into my "Semi-Paleo: -- Cave Woman Eating... Want to keep on track right thru the Holidays! I work in a Doctors office and already this week has been a hugh challenge! First day someone brought "Chic-Fil-A" biscuits... Then each day someone has brought lunch... It's teaching to stay prepared since I cannot always eat Low-Carb when someone else is bringing lunch. Also I know I have to research anywhere we may go to eat lunch... Lots of Sodium & Calories hiding out in those "Salads"! :noway:

    My work just booked us in for a traditional afternoon tea instead of a Christmas meal in December.... it'll take a lot of exercise to balance out that sugar intake! I did refuse the doughnuts that they brought into the office today though so feeling very proud of that :)

    What about a calorie burn challenge? We can challenge ourselves to burn a specific amount of calories on a set day or for the week?

    thnx, evening snacking is hard, I reckon you can do it though- and I won't have anything if you don't!

    Me! I want to get rid of as much as I can by Christmas. As I have a desk job I need to make sure I exercise daily or I don't burn enough calories, I'm determined to push myself hard to get the ball rolling!
