Hi everyone,

As discussed in the two previous groups, we're going to start getting competitive!!

Set your self your own personal challenge that you think you can achieve by Christmas and this group will try and help you achieve it. There are two other groups (20 people in each), and we're going to try and beat them with the amount of weight/inches we loose by Christmas.

After reading the posts in the other groups I thought it was such a good idea, to have people to help you to stay motivated. The run up to Christmas and the start of winter can be a difficult time too, as thats when I deffinitely start to over indulge more, with the thought in my mind "i'll start again for my new years resolution".

I'm still completely new to MFP and advise from others will be a big help to me.

So the next 20 people who say "i'm in" are in the group. :o)

    If I'm not too late to be in, I'd love to join. I'd love to lose the last 9.4 lbs by Christmas. Sounds easy, right? Not when I'm working/going to school and having nothing but 60-80 hour weeks, exams, horrible commutes, etc. I could use some help staying on track!

    Hello!

    So far we have 17 members - everyone who has posted before this comment is in!! :oD If any more people want to join thats great but the other groups have put a cap on 20, so if we get 3 more people who want to join, i'll then have to close the group.....if that can be done! As I put in my last post, i'm totally new to this, so if anyone knows how to close/make a group private, let me know.

    So I've been speaking to the other group and they have an excel sheet which they use to keep track of everyone's weight/goals. How does everyone want to do this? I'm happy to post my wieght and measurements on here every week, so you guys can see how i'm doing but is everyone else happy to do this? If not, you could always private message me the statistics and you can just report how much you've lost.

    My goals for christmas is to -
    Loose a stone in weight,
    Complete the 30dayshred dvd,
    Run the Great South Run in under 2 hours,
    Fit into a size 10 pair of jeans I have stashed away! :o)

    Let me know what you think, any suggestions you might have for the group let me know.

    I'm going to post my measurements tomorrow and the hard work starts then!!!

    I'll be out I'm afraid. I reached my goal weight last week and I'm looking at gaining weight in lean muscle by Xmas. Wouldn't want to skew your results for the competition with the other groups! ;)

    My personal goal though is to complete P90x by Xmas.

    Woowoo! Lost 0.8kg (after taking my glasses and socks off!) because I just hit my first mini goal of being under 130kg! I'm now 129.9 (hence the glasses and socks!)

    My stats for today

    I do measurements every couple of weeks so my measurements as of 02.08.11 were (even though they're in as of the 11th the 2nd was when they were taken)

    Bust - 132
    Waist - 123
    Hips - 144
    Upper Thigh - 67
    Upper Arm -40

    I do them monthly, so another two weeks and I'll update.

    My weekly goal: gym twice this week and eating the best I can. I want 2.4L of water per day INCLUDING weekends, which has been my struggle so far.

    My next goal is 120kg. I want that by October 1st. Eyes on the prize!

    Mid range goal is 99kg by January 1st 2012.

    I'm currently aiming for 90kg (198 pounds) but I will be re-evaluating when I get there. I'm doing Jenny Craig but I don't want to do it for the last 20kg, purely because I need to learn myself and their food is damn expensive. I need to learn to eat healthy, not just learn to eat what's given to me. But to get myself into 'just' the obese range, I need some assistance. JC is mine.

    Armycane I think there's still three spots left but diboozy can confirm :)
