hoping to lose 10 lbs in Jan
My exercise plan : I currently go to the gym to work out, but have been off schedule and haven't worked hard enough for long enough. I am planning to go more consistently (at least 2-- hour long sessions with a trainer and 3-- hour long cardio sessions a week)
I really need to get back on track with my food. All of these Christmas treats are killing me. I am currently food journaling.
My motivation is to quit relapsing and to change my lifestyle to become successful - for good!0 -
I'm in too. I'm in the December group and it has really been great. I do so much better when I'm in an active group than when I try it alone. I only have 10 pounds to lose until I'm at my goal so I imagine losing the last 10 won't happen in a month, but I'll give it my very best effort! I'll fill in the stats at the beginning of Jan.0

Starting Weight on January 1, 2011: Don't know yet, but I'm guessing 203
Goal weight by January 31, 2011: 193
Exercise Plan: Some form of exercise EVERY DAY. Get to the gym 4 days a week.
Diet Plan: 1500 calories a day. Limiting my "cheat" calories or I like to call them my chocolate calories to less than 200 a day (as recommended by my nutritionist, I'm a frickin' sweets *kitten*!)
My Motivation: To start this year off right!!! I have chronic kidney disease and the only thing I can do at this point is lose weight, limit high meat protein dishes, and take some of the strain on my kidneys (from this excess weight!).
I've been dieting since July and have lost 18 pounds. While I'm proud of this because I know I will never gain those pounds back, this has been a very LONG and sometimes discouraging journey.
Good Luck ALL and here is to a healthy and happy new year!!0 -
I am in the December weight loss challenge and am definetally doing this one next!! It helps so much to have someone (or a bunch of someone's lol) to be accountable to. Can't wait to post my stats on the 1st. See you all then!!!0
