    Sounds great!!! I'm going to use my Saturday morning starting weight since I haven't looked at a scale since then. I think this is going to be a great opportunity to meet some new people on here and challenge myself to stay on course. I'm lucky since I have a great boyfriend that is willing to meet me at 5 am to work out in the morning. So Monday - Friday... that's where I'll be from 5 to 6:30'ish.

    So on Saturday I was 267.4, which means by Christmas I should be right around 237.

    Should we get a picture of us at the start of this goal and then an ending goal to share with one another come December 25th? It would be like our gifts to one another!

    Just checking in. I'm in the 'Zone" at the moment. That means that I have my head in the right spcae, have been up & did zumba before work, I've been sipping on water all morning & so far haven't cheated for a couple of days. If I can stay this way I'll lose the 30lbs by christmas.

    I need to check inr egularly to keep me focused. Cheers, Tx

    To quote the great Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, "I just don't think that Brooke could've done this. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't."

    Here's hoping to me not shooting anyone......

    SW = 172
    CW = 160
    Goal = 130

    woot woot! 'but dat's only in da morning.....' anyone know THAT quote?
    that is so funny

    Check in. I have drank well over my ten glasses of water. Got up and walked the dog for 45 minutes. I think the poor thing was mad a me for walking so long. Under my calories. I just couldn't eat my excercise calories. I didn't try anything new today but I tried 2 new things yesterday. Special K fruit crisps and Fiber One 90 calorie bars.

    I want to share how much of a challenge this has been for me. I am a student teacher and there has been junk food in the lounge all week. I got booed today with a bag or truffles. I gave them to my cooperating teacher. Tomorrow the staff fills the lounge with goodies. I have bought me a lunch to take to eat in the classroom and have no plan to go anywhere near the lounge. And last night was my husband and I have been together for 19 years and went out to eat. I only ate half my steak. Ordered my steam broccoli without butter and my salad without cheese or croutons with Light Raspberry Vinergerette. I am hoping this 30 pound challenge will keep me motivated to keep this up.

    Alright, I used to use this site all of the time and I LOVED it, but as most of you have said, life happens. I started out after nursing school at 215 and lost down to 175, then switched to low carb because I didn't have time to exercise.....needless to say that got me back to yo-yo dieting BAD. I have now learned that the key is moderation, not elimination. Anyways......I want to join with all of you. Do you mind having another person?

    Starting weight:175 (10/19/2010)
    Current weight : ?
    Christmas goal: 145

    Today's Update:

    11 cups of water
    Under my calories by 5
    10 minutes of dancing completed
    25 minutes of brisk walking... couldn't make 50 minutes. My foot was hurting too bad. My personal goal is 30 minutes of exercise a day, but if I can do more I will!

    i wasn't sure what I as going to do for dance today, but I was the class parent for my 3 yr old daughters class today and she wouldn't do any of it without me. I did about 20 minutes of tap and ballet! I also had 13 glasses of water, stayed under my calories and walked for 30 minutes and rode the bike for 30 minutes!
