    I'm in!!!! Love that it is a Christmas Challenge....my HAPPIEST time of year!!!! Would love to give myself a present of Onederland by Dec. 25th; but that means close to 34 lbs lost in 16 weeks. I know, not impossible...but don't wanna set myself up for failure either. So I will set my realistic goal of 20lbs and really strive to hit that magical 199 instead!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    I want to do this! I always think the Holidays are so hard so what's the point,but the reality is that EVERY day is hard. So maybe the better thing to ask is why NOT the holidays!!! My starting weight is 170 and my goal weight by 12/24 is 140 which is a total loss of 34 pounds. This is 2 pounds a week for me....You guys are going DOWN!!!! Okay, maybe on this site that is not a bad thing. ; )

    Of these, would those of you on this next list please give me a rough idea of how much you are aiming to lose over the 16 weeks? I don't need your starting weight until Monday but that way I can get your name under the appropriate category.

    this is going to be my first challange... how does it work....

    Welcome! This is basically how it is going to work. Every Monday, before noon PST, you will copy and paste this (what you just did) into our topic here with your current weight. I will take that info. and put it into the colorful chart and have that chart posted later that same day. In the meantime, you can come back here, as often as you'd like, to get to know and support your fellow challengers. :-) I really don't want to be in charge of this next bit (since I'm not good at thinking up ones or participating in them, at times) but we might incorporate mini challenges along the way (i.e. - more water, more veggies, etc.). If we do, if you do those, you can post about how that went also.

    Something that was brought out...
    Not sure I want to do the next challenge, as I HATE Monday weigh in's. I feel the weekend throws off my numbers and mid-week is a better reflection of where I'm at (after enjoying my weekend, ya know?). I'd consider it if weigh in was later in the week.

    To which I replied - I don't care which day you use as your weigh in. :-) Just make it the same every week and then get me your numbers before noon on Mondays. We'd love to have you with us.

    Everyone - Please don't let a Monday weigh in day keep you from this challenge.
