Join the "Healthy for the Holidays" challenge beginning Tuesday, 9/06 thru Tuesday, 11/22!!!

Come join us if you're looking for extra motivation as we approach the Holiday season. We've got a great group of ladies & gents helping each other stay motivated and we are always looking for others to join our group.

Each week will have a different food & exercise challenge with a weekly check in that will allow you to share your progress towards the goal weight or NSV you set for 11/22.

How to join? Starting Tuesday 9/06 post your current weight (CW), your 11/22 goal weight (GW) and/or the NSV(s) you wish to achieve by Tuesday, 11/22. Each subsequent Tuesday post that week's current weight (CW) and/or your progress made towards your NSV(s). Everyone's progress will be tracked & the group's weekly successes will be posted.

Hope to hear from you on Tuesday!!

*** NSV = 'Non Scale Victory" ***

    Hi,
    I'm new on here and this challenge is exactly what I need. I lost 15lbs within the past few months and have been slacking lately, I've been fluctuating between 130-135 for the past month and I'm ready to get back on track and lose remaining 15lbs.

    I'm going to go ahead and post my weigh-in and goals a little early as I'm having issues with my internet and might not be able to log in tomorrow. I hope that's ok..

    CW 9/6: 132
    GW 11/22: 115

    NSV's:
    Exercise regularly,
    Drink more water,
    Lose the all or nothing mentality (Oh, I ate a piece of chocolate.. I already messed up so I'll eat a whole bar now and start over tomorrow!!) This has to stop! lol
    Track all foods eaten.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hello! So excited to see this challenge! I am hoping that my goal weight is realistic and that I have more stick-to-it-ness this go around! Again, my NSV is not eating after 9pm....this is my biggest obstacle! Good luck to all!

    Hello everybody,

    SW 148
    GW 140 Might be a pipe dream, but going to give it a try.

    Goal is to stick with a plant based diet, but thinking I still would like to keep some eggs in my diet. Total body tone up is also a goal.

    Good luck!

    SW-154.8
    GW-143

    So this is basically the same goal I had last challenge but since I only maintained I'm going for the same goal and this time I will do it!

    Not as aggressive of a weight loss as I normally target but I'm still dealing with the hip bursitis and will then need to get back to my level of exercising before I can realistically think about a big weight loss.

    If this group is still open, count me in! I've never been part of any groups here on MFP and could really use the support and motivation.

    CW: 163
    GW: 135

    Looking forward to the challenges!

    SW - 158.4
    CW - 158.4
    GW(for the challenge) - 143

    I'll really just be happy if I get out of the 150's by then. But I definitely want to make this a challenge!
