    just checking in.

    I think I started this at 193.7 and I am now 192.1 so I lost 1.6 pounds over the last week! YAY ME!! :drinker: I don't know if I will loose the whole 8 pounds I wanted to or not but if I get under 190 by christmas I will be happy.

    Good Luck all you LOSERS!!! :bigsmile:

    Checking in again.

    Down 1.1 pounds. I don't think I'm making that 6 pounds left till christmas but I fit into a large shirt yesterday so I'm ok with how everything is going!

    Congratulations on the qutting smoking. After smoking for 20 years or so, I finally quit in April 2007 and I am so glad that I did. If you've made it 77 days, you have it in the bag. Keep up the good work!

    My original goal was to be under 200 for Christmas. I hit that 3 weeks ago, so then it was to be 190. Well, since I am 191.8 now I am going to ask for 185!!!

    I really want to tell my family that I have lost 75lbs!

    I am at 189.2 as of this morning. Now, 4.2 lbs is a lot in 2 weeks, but I average 2.6-3 lbs lost a week so I hope I can do it!

    I lost 2 pounds. only 6 more before x-mas.... I hope I can do it.

    Maybe if I start doing 60 minutes on the elliptical every other day will help. Especially if I don't eat my exercise calories .
    60 minutes burns 712 calories at my weight and on the cardio setting.

    Ok, so I'm officially not going to meet my goal of 145 and I can admit it. I've lost 2 1/2 inches though (total) so, I figure that I'm gaining muscle and losing some fat. So, new goal is to lose another inch and a half before Christmas.

    Keep up the great work all of you that are in line to meet your goals.:flowerforyou:

    Good morning. I'm reporting my weekly progress for the challenge.
    Challenge start: 136.4
    Today: 134.6
    I'm happy to be going in the right direction, but am not confident about reaching my goal of 132. Amazing I don't weigh more after yesterday's pre-Christmas tree-trimming and cookie-baking festivities. Was a special day with my family.
    Got to run get my car serviced. Good time to write Christmas cards!
    Good luck with the challenge everyone. May we all be big losers next week!

    Ive only lost 1 lb since starting this challenge. I really need to get back on the ball. I am at 264 and my goal for this challenge is 258 so I still have 6 more lbs to go. I hope I can do it. If not as long as I lose some I will be happy but I would love to be under 250 by the new year. I started this site in August and I was 297 then so I have made some improvement.

    Argh! I gain weight over the weekend... Now I have 8 lbs to go. I am so disappointed.
    Darn these holiday treats and the holiday fatty foods.
    Well, Off to do some exercising... lots to do to get that 8lbs into the history book.
