"12 Weeks Weightloss Challenge" All Welcome

Congrats Sinead! I am in the same boat. I have not weighed sense Thanksgiving until this morning. I was so shocked. I had ONLY gained 2 pounds. unbelievable! I have been so bad. I am doing another 12 Week 2016 Challenge starting January 1st,2016. I am going to try and loss those 2 pounds before then so I can reach my goal of being under 200. I wish everyone good luck making the right choices for the holidays.

Yes I will. It will just be a continuing of the original 12 week challenge. I will keep here on this thread, but start a new and hopefully more challenging 12 weeks. I will set specific goals for everyone to reach each week of the 12 weeks. I will post everything by Tuesday of next week. I have been so busy I am barley keeping up daily check-ins.
Keep a watch and join in.

Put less food out and you’ll take less in.

Conversely, the more food in front of you, the more you’ll eat—regardless of how hungry you are. So instead of using regular dinner plates that range these days from 10 to 14 inches (making them look empty if they’re not heaped with food), serve your main course on salad plates (about 7 to 9 inches wide). Instead of 16-ounce glasses and oversized coffee mugs, return to the old days of 8-ounce glasses and 6-ounce coffee cups.

Welcome all newbies! I am sorry I have been MIA my computer was in the shop. Congrats to all those who lost this week. Well the New year is almost here and time for a new challenge.

It is the "12 Week New Year 2016 challenge and starts Jan.1st, 2016".

For every 5 pounds lost you will receive a corresponding blinking number.

It's time you do this for you. "If Not Now.....When?" Start the year off right and commit to a new healthier you.

When looking at most resolutions or Challenges, what people usually write down is a list of outcomes. But to reach these outcomes, behavior needs to change first. Make sure the resolutions you make are actual behaviors (actions) you are willing and able to change. You might want to lose weight, but are you willing to change the way you eat and start exercising regularly in order to do so? Be brutally honest with yourself. If the answer is "no," save the resolution for a time when you can honestly say "yes." (SP)

Losing weight boils down to simple math. To lose one pound weekly, burn or cut out 3,500 calories in the course of seven days. That breaks down to 500 calories per day. It's difficult to cut out that many by dieting alone, especially for someone who loves to eat. The most effective approach is this combo: each day, cut out 250 calories from your diet and burn 250 through exercise. (PS)
