My next self challenge is to lose 10# by 12/31/08 - I will complete the year with a more than 40# loss that way. Anyone with me??? (really only need 7 for the 40 but that's my holiday cushion!)

    Count me in, I need all the encouragement I need - been eating all the wrong things lately, so might not manage the full 10lbs - but even 5 is a bonus :happy:

    Actually, how about not quoting it over and over... it makes the posts difficult to read. Thanks.

    I want to lose that before we go home, which is around the 20th and then I will have to maintain. I'm striving for a bit high, I guess, considering that I'm so low, but I'd so much like to get there....

    Good luck, everyone! You guys are teaching me how much willpower we all have!

    Welcome everyone! I am excited to have all of you here!

    Anyone have any tips, recipes?

    Here's my goals...

    64 oz water daily, 1300 calories, exercise 3 x /wk (I have been very bad at this recently-time has been getting away from me my father in law is in hospital and we are there every evening after work and I hate mornings!)

    I just want to remind some of you on here that are close to your goal that 10 pounds is alot in a month so don't beat yourself up if you don't quite get there - I've heard it gets harder and harder the closer you are to your goal.....I can't wait for that challenge! We will celebrate every portion of a pound gone from each of us!

    So I weighed today and forgot to log it - if I can remember correctly it's at least a half pound less possibly a pound - I'll have to weigh and log tomorrow hopefully with some good news!

    After reading a post a little while ago I've been craving pastrami - i am going to grocery store to see if there's turkey pastrami to put on rye - mmmmmmm.

    I haven't started water - must drink water - everyone say it with me - must drink water....

    Here are some tips......
    Its been suggested that it helps around the holidays to weigh yourself 2x's a week instead of once.
    It helps keep you on track and another tip.....never show up to a party hungry.....
    Also if you check out hungrygirl.com she has tons of holiday recipes that are good and low cal and fat.
    Anyone else have some tips to share?

    I think letting your family know what you are trying to accomplish is an important step. It allows them the opportunity to help you and it provides some level of accountability.

    Hungry girl has some AWESOME recipes. I use the website and her book. In the book there's a recipe for pumpkin cupcakes with caramel drizzle - well I doubled the cake portion of the recipe made it as a pumpkin pie cake for thanksgiving with fat free cool whip on top instead of the caramel for my convenience - it was the first desert to go everyone loved it - it was SOOOOO good. My dad ate 4 or 5 pieces over the days he was here - he couldn't beleive it was "good" for you

    I try not to go anywhere hungry and if I have a craving, I try drinking 16 oz of water before I eat. Usually I end up not needing the snack I was looking for. i don't prohibit anything - I eat something if I've really asked myself is it worth it?? If it is, I'll just eat in moderation and be careful with the next meal or add in some exercise. Good for me and allows more calories.

    Is it too late for me to join? I think 10 pounds is a little too much for me to lose in just 1 month, so I'm aiming for 7...Put me at an even 155!
