    I'm in! I would LOVE to be in the 230s by NYE! And I am going to start C25K in a couple of weeks, I would like to be able to finish it and make running a part of my routine, as well as yoga (I am working hard to get to that point, I have been hindered bc of weight and recent accident injuries) Sooo, my goal is to overcome some major fitness obstacles as well

    I have my own personal 26 week challenge going on. Having started July 1, the end date just happens to be New years Eve! :bigsmile:

    The goal is to be back at 120, the healthy weight for my height. I started on July 1 at 140. And, maybe, as I go, if I see that I am losing inches because of muscle gain, but not weight, I'll reevealuate for a pant size or body fat percentage instead of a number on a scale. But right now, that's my goal!

    It doesnt matter what weight you wanna be by new years. Just as long as you are dedicated to doing this 100% effort.

    I weigh randomly at least once a week and record it not on here specifically but in my journal, so any day is fine with me as well.

    My weigh days are the 15th and 30th/31st (last day) of every month. I am gonna stick with that, if that's ok. I don't like to weigh each week.

    I'd love to be 190 by New Years Eve. I weighed that before my ODS got sick and gained a lot of weight since then, as eating is my coping mechanism. I'd love to be back to that. I weighed myself this morning and am fine with whatever day you all chose. I weighed 219 this morning.

    We can all do what works for us. We all have differernt goals, we are different weights and it will be great. I went to zumba and burned over 1000 calories with my hrm. I am heading to have lunch now. Cheers everyone :) Feel free to add me :)

    I am down for this! I want to be at my goal weight, 125, by then! That way, instead of making yet ANOTHER New Years' Resolution to get fit, I can congratulate myself for sticking with it and losing the weight!

    YES!!! My goal all year long has been to be at my goal weight by then, as it's my favorite day of the year! I know that I may not make it to my total goal weight, but I'm hoping to be as close as I can possibly be by then. We can do it!!!

    I'm up for the challenge. I'm currently at 220 and would love to be 180 by then. New Years Eve is a perfect deadline for me. I'm still trying to figure out my exercise routine, so this will help me make a decision and stick to it.

    I'm relatiely new here, so forgive the question: How does this work? Do we all check on on this thread, or is there another method?

    Thanks for starting this!

    I'd definitely love to join, as my older sister is getting married on Jan 6th in Costa Rica!!
    My dress that was ordered was a few sizes to small on PURPOSE. Which isn't really nice, but it's definitely working for me to be motivated to fit into a size 6 -- I'm a 11/13 right now.

    My main goal is to weigh down to about 120-125lbs, which is about 45lbs to lose & MAINTAIN that loss :happy:

    Good luck everyone!! I KNOW we can do this! :glasses:
