    Sorry. Once again, good morning.
    I'm just checking in for the Monday weigh- in.
    Challenge starting weight: 136.2
    Mon. 12/1: 136.4
    Goal weight on Mon. before Christmas: 132
    Obviously, I have my work cut out for me since I've already gone in the wrong direction. I guess it could have been worse considering how bad I've been in the food and exercise dept. (all food and no exercise).
    Today really is a new day, new week and new month. So, I'm determined. Will be checking back to see how you are all doing. I hope to see great things and get really motivated.

    Monday check in. Goal for Christmas 8lbs. Like Zaza54, not a great start as I put on .5 since last week. Not suprising, I ate out a few days last week and snacked at night. I'll try to be more diligent this week.

    See you next Monday,
    Anne

    ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M IN!!!!!!!! I like the title for this challenge!!!! :laugh: :laugh: So my goal is to reach my goal of 125lbs. about 4 more to go I guess. I have not weighed myself in about a week. I will do so tomorrow morning and post it.

    My plan:
    Count my calories every day now!!! (I have been skipping this since Oct now :cry: )
    Stay within my calorie allowance
    workout 6 days a week
    resist temptations/portion control

    GOOD LUCK!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Congrats to those of you who have lost weight. I have not logged anything or exercised in the last 4 days. Darn Thanksgiving:grumble: Back on track today though. TOM is approaching this week as well so I am not going near the scale. I will weight in next Friday. Hopefully by then everything will be back on track and going down. Good luck everyone!

    Checking in:

    Had a good day today. Stayed on track. Logged all my food and already planned my food for tomorrow. Now I just need to pack my lunch up so that I don't have to do it in the morning.

    Glad to see so many people checking in today!!

    Count me in. I am currently at 161. I would love to see 150 by New Years, so I will say 153 by Christmas. That is 8 lbs by X-mas. Trying very hard everyday to make the right choices.

    Lets burn the fat!!!!!

    I'm up for the challenge - my CW is 159 and I hope to weigh in under 155 by x-mas time. There are going to be a lot of temptations to avoid from now until then - so here's to WILL POWER!! :laugh:

    So how is everyone doing this morning. I am still at 265 but my scale only does full pounds. But 265 is great considering I am being visited by TOM. I didnt get to go to the gym yesterday because of the weather. Hopefully the roads wont be that bad today and I can go later. Still waiting to hear if the bus is going to run up here if not I need to see if the roads are good enough for me to drive them to school. I certainly hope so. Boys didnt go to school yesterday and they drove me crazy LOL.

    So, I haven't lost any weight yet, but I did loose an inch around my stomach. So, there's improvement, just not on the scale!

    Current Weight: 153
    Christmas Goal weight: 148

    We'll see :) i had a great workout this morning so i just need to keep my modivation up!

    I just saw this post, and I am definitely in. I weigh about 191 right now, so my Christmas goal weight is going to be 185. I am at the very beginning of healthier eating (I started yesterday), but yesterday went really well. I started out strong this morning with a good breakfast and so far I have avoided the donuts that are sitting in the commons area of my office :wink: I am trying to avoid seeing them all together, but they are right next to the coffee pot! In any event, I am wishing everyone luck on this challenge.

    I forgot to weigh in today. I remembered while I was eating breakfast and I worked out before that. I walked on the treadmill for 20 mins and then did lower body weight trng and abs for a total of 80 mins. I will try to remember to weigh myself tomorrow morning right after I wake up. I am hoping to stay within my calorie allowance today. Have a great day!!! :flowerforyou:
  • Thanksgiving did me in! I GAINED 2lbs!! I've put in a couple extra workouts and hope to get back on track. All in all ... it was worth it b/c I had some good eats!!!:drinker:

    Unfortunately I'm up 2 pounds from Thanksgiving. :angry: Uggh!! This is sooo frustrating but I'm trying really hard to stay motivated. I'm keeping my goal weight of 135lb for Christmas and need to work hard.
