    Um....I'd love to jion, but I don't know if I could reach 199 by then or not....what do you think...251 to 199? Is this too lofty a goal? I am in competion with my hubby to loose 50lbs first I think this might give me an added boost. I would love to see the looks on relatives faces to walk in at Christmas 50lbs lighter! Right not to win the competion with my hubby I have to loose 45lbs....winning weight is 205.

    Well, if you look at the guidelines of trying not to lose more than 2lbs per week, you have 18 weeks till Christmas.... So at 2 lbs per week, you could lose 36 lbs. I'm not saying you CAN'T join, because you totally CAN! Just don't get discouraged if you don't hit the goal. I mostly made this group for those of us with less than 30 lbs to lose to reach 199, but I'm not going to turn away anyone. Just be sure you're doing it the healthy way!

    I seem to be loosing weight at a rate of 3lbs a week, if it stays that way I can get 48 lbs off by Christmas so I think I can do it!

    I would like to put in a Christmas ticker like some of you have and I cannot figure out how to do it, I have found the ticker that I want to put in and everything but where do I put it? Thanks!

    Okay. So here's Monday and weigh-in day. I'd like to say I have lost but I haven't. I've plateau'd my whole week and actually went up 1.5 lbs. Although, my blouse now fits me (so I'm losing inches) even though the scale won't budge. I also have been going to the gym this week for the first time religiously, so I might be adding on the lean muscle mass. So, ditto this week for the scales but hopefully the plateau will end!

    Challenge SW: 210.

    Current $#$$# weight: 210

    You will need to copy the code and put it in your signature.

    SO I'm a day late.. :( But would love to join this challenge!! This is exactly what I need to get back on track! My goal was to be in ONEderland by the new year but if I give it all that I have I know I can make it for Christmas!! Which would be even better!!!

    A bit about me: I'm 25 (going on 26 in November) and I started this weight loss journey on March 1st (at 252lbs) and lost 30 pounds by May 24 by competing in a biggest loser contest, which I won!! :flowerforyou:

    Then came summer and the motivation of the contest was gone.. I stayed steady until mid-July (was at 222lbs) and then gained about 5lbs... which absolutely sucks! So I will weigh myself tomorrow morning but I think that I'm about 227 right now.

    So this would mean that my SW for this contest is: 227 (I will confirm tomorrow morning)

    Question - do you guys just want to stay on this board or move it to a "closed" one?

    If I can, I'd like to join!

    Age: 31
    Starting weight for this challenge: 234.6
    A little about you: I'm a stepmom to two boys (14 and 11). I work full-time in the federal government (Canada). My kids and spouse are active, and I want to be too! I just signed up for kickboxing lessons with my 14-year old, and for a ball hockey league with my spouse. Losing weight for me would mean being more fit and active.

    Personally, I'd like to move to a closed group. I'm up for whatever the majority wants though :)

    Weighing in today. 1/2 pound loss since last week. Will work on better numbers for next week.

    I learned this week how much salty foods effect me - I ate out once and OUCH!

    I also learned how much emotions play in my eating even when you don't think they would. My 15 year old daughter lost a friend last weekend. He was walking across the street and was hit and killed by a drunk driver. He was 16 years old and a great kid. But I did turn to food to console and comfort and it was a little but I think when you have nervous energy, you want to keep busy and keeping your hands busy can mean putting something in your mouth.

    The best thing to do is to learn from situations and improve - right?? Still on that train to ONEderland and looking forward to a great weigh-in next week!!!
