  • I found Best way to do it is the 24 day challenge. I lost 25 lbs off the bat I found the diet at www.911fitness.org I am down over 120 lbs now and i am tracking my meals. In conjunction with my fitness pal I love this website and the app that goes with my phone. The hardest part I am having is tracking my exercises and calories burned. Does anyone know of a good website to figure out my activity and calories lost?

    I'm a bit late joining as well, but count me in!

    I just joined, so I filled out my profile not really knowing what my exact weight is (scale is broken, last time I weighed myself I did it twice - the first time gave one reading and the second time gave a reading almost 60 lb higher.....) but I'm excited to set Xmas as a good goal date!

    Would love to join this challenge. I just really started back up with this whole thing. I got comfortable with my weight for a while and needed that. I was on maintenance all summer and am just starting back. Last Monday (10/19) I weighed in at 159.6. This past Sunday (10/24) I weighed in at 154.6 (-5)!

    SW: 159.6
    CW: 154.6 (-5)
    GW: 135 (maybe 130)
  • Bummer........I stayed the same :( No loss to report this week! Its all the fall treats :tongue:
  • Starting the week a little better. Ran 5.4 miles this morning. Weighed in at 133 this morning so we will see what it is at the end of the week.

    Wow, that's great! Cataclysm, my husband and I are going on holiday for a week (in a week) so I'm going to weigh in just before I go, next Tuesday morning and that will have to be my weigh-in for two weeks (this and next.) Hoping this doesn't hinder my efforts too much, but I guess we'll see.

    hey!

    When I started the challenge there was exactly 10 weeks til christmas meaning that you would need to lose 2lbs per week until xmas to lose a total of 20lbs! I think most would agree that 2lbs a week is very realistic!

    Good luck!

    thanks for doing the list hun, its a big job!

    well done to everyone still with us and hello to everyone just joining :)

    I went out for a bike ride yesterday with my ds2 (13 months) in the trailer behind me, i cycled for 45 mins (though it didnt feel that long) and got a massive bruise on my butt ha ha! going to have to get a comfy seat for it before next time i think!

    no exercise today however been very active and done lots of housework so that should count towards.


    and the very best thing, i made some mince and pasta for the kids and me for lunch instead of eating the whole rest of the mince (which i would normally do) i put it away for my husband to eat for lunch tomorrow :)

    feeling VERY positive!!

    if i loose 20lbs for xmas then I will be lighter than i was before i had ds1 nearly 3 years ago :)

    I think that this would be a fun goal! my original goal was to have a total weight loss of 40 LB's by Christmas....But I only have 12 more to go, and I think that I will get there easily. I think I will make this my goal. If i start this week, I weighed in today at 198.6. I will weigh in again on Friday and have that be my "official" start date. I will be back!

    (Oh and P.S. I am going to Hope for a 20 pound loss, but if I only loose 18 (cause there are only 9 weeks now) then I will be just as joyful!)

    Good Luck to everyone!
