So... my wedding is over and I haven't lost a pound in 2 months! My nutritionist thinks that I need a new goal for my mindset to get me in the zone... back to weightloss. So... I made a bet with her. If I lose 6lbs by Christmas I get to go get a mani/pedi :) If I don't lose... I have to go to the gym EVERYDAY for a month. Who wants to join me? My thought is for everyone to chime in with their goal and what they plan on doing to reach that goal. We will check in every week to see how we're doing.

My name is Brandy, My goal is 6lbs. I plan on watching my eating, cutting soda 100%, over 8 glasses of water each day, and going to the gym 5 days each week. Also, I will cut my "sweets" down to once a week.

Come join the challenge!

    I want to lose 11lbs for Christmas.

    My orignal goal was 60, but since I hit it, I am upping it. I think 11 will be doable for me, and I SO SO SO badly want to tell my extended family (that I haven't seen since LAST Christmas) that I lost 70lbs!

    6 lbs sounds reasonable - that puts me at 135 which would be nice, I'd love to feel great about myself when my boyfriend takes me out for New Years!

    If I make 6 lbs, I get to have extra champagne on New Years Eve! :wink: :laugh: :drinker:

    Ok, I want to lose 5 lbs by Christmas. I totally think it's doable!

    I am Dana and I have been struggling with my weight for a while. January of 2007 I FINALLY got down to a mini goal, 142 lbs (I'm 5'2 so it was a good compromise compared to my high weight of 160 and healthy weight of 130).However, I got on my high horse and decided I was going to get a little ignorant and started gaining, thus, leaving me now back at my highest weight ever, 165!! I feel awful~ and that's why I'm here. My reward will be a new blouse for work.

    Nice to meet you Brandy!

    I'll be checking in also......good luck to anyone who wishes to join us!:drinker:

    I would LOVE to join! Except I am shooting for 10lbs, and I know it will be tough because of Thanksgiving coming up!! But we can do it!!! I will continue going to the gym 5-6 days a week, and try to get 60 minutes of cardio plus doing arm weights and 5 minutes of ab crunches. I will only drink water or Crystal Light, and sometimes hot tea, also stop eating after 8pm, drink 8 glasses of water a day, and eat small meals every 3 hours or so during the day to keep my metabolism up, as well as continue to count my Weight Watchers points, and stick to it!

    Good luck everyone!:bigsmile:

    So I am in as well. Like Kirstina the Thanksgiving Challange is coming to an end in just about two weeks and I am in need of another one. I am really hoping to make that challange and I am trying my hardest to stay focused and do what I am supposed to do. So my goal for Christmas is going to be right over 8lbs.
    Current Weight - 146.8
    Christmas goal - 138

    Good luck to everyone. I know it is going to be hard with Thanksgiving coming up but just stay focused and keep up the hard work. :happy:
