Hubba Hubba for the Holidays (CLOSED GRP)

Kristen - What a great HHH chart! Thanks for the work you're doing. Let me know if you ever need help with anything. We're off to a great start! Let's do it! I'd love to weigh 20 lbs less Christmas Day. Can't think of a better present for myself! Let's all meet our goal weight!

Looks great! Thank you again for the time that you have already put into this challenge!

I'm 27 and own my own business where it is difficult for me to keep a healthy lifestyle, especially eating habits in the summer time. Business is starting to slow down, and from here on out is where I typically start to lose every year. I started MFP and working out at 220lbs in the middle of July, and hope to gain the knowledge to log my intake and continue with the exercise.

My goal weight ulitmately is 175lbs, which would drop me 36.8 from where I am today. I do not have a specific time range with that because I hope to do it at a healthy rate, and have it become a true habit of mine!

Consistant exercise and planning my meals out will get me to where I need to be!

Thank you again for this group and good luck to all! :bigsmile:

Thanks Kristen! The chart looks awesome!

I am looking forward to all the inspiration and encouragement from this group, I am determined to meet my goal and be Hubba Hubba for the Holidays!

A little about me: My name is Nicole, I'm 26 (almost 27 on Sept 19th), at the end of June I decided to get serious about my health and began tracking everything, even my horrible cheat days. I really enjoy walking my dog Sheldon, we are about a week into the C25K program and I'm really enjoying it. I also use the Wii Biggest Loser Challenge game to get my exercise in.

Good Luck to Everyone! if you're looking for a friend feel free to add me

Great job Kristen, thanks for doing this.

Thanks so much for putting this together Kristen!! I think this might just be the kick in the pants I needed to stick with this site again. All your work is appreciated. Now it's time for all of us to get to work, I guess!!!! Good luck everyone!!!!!! )

Hooray! Can't wait to get going on this. Thanks for including me, the chart looks amazing!

Wow! Talk about accountability!! Great job

Yay, the group is up and running! Can't wait to meet ya'll and support each other in reaching our goals.

I'm Veronica, 39, married mom of 4 from Alaska, although only 2 of my kiddos currently live at home. My oldest, 23, and only daughter, is still at home, plus my 16 year old son. My 22 year old son is currently in the Army, going to school in Cali, and my youngest, 14, is severely disabled and in a residential placement in Idaho. We are leaving Christmas day to go visit him, and my older son in California will be joining us, so this challenge will take me right up to that time! I work full time as a special education aide in our elementary school, and really enjoy it! Unfortunately, our little town is too small for a gym, and the closest one is in Fairbanks, about 30 minutes away, so hubby and myself work out in our home. We enjoy the time together. Anyways, talk at ya'll tomorrow!

Thank you so much kristen. I'm more than determine. My weigh in days will be on Saturdays if that is ok with you.

Thank you so much for putting the challenge and chart together! It looks awesome

I had a great weekend, but ate poorly, so decided to weigh myself this morning and am actually UP 2.4 pounds from my start weight, so I will have to work REALLY hard to try and at least break even for our first weigh-in.

I am happily married and have 3 kids ages 26, 15 and 4 (boy, boy, girl). I've been at my job for almost 17 years and still love what I do--but I do sit at a desk all day.

Anyway--here's to all of us--we can do this!

Thank you Kristen for the awesome chart and group setup. I really appreciate you taking over the challenge. Looking forward to losing with you all.

I'm Denise, turn 39 next month, I often forget my age lol. I have worked for a custom high end builder for the last 11 years as his office manager/accts payable/accts receivable/basic right hand man lol. My husband works from home as an underwriter and it should be helpful but most of the time it's not. We have 2 beautiful kids, nick who turns 7 on the 18th and Emma who turns 4 on the 15th.

Okay onto my journey...
I decided on 1/1/08 that it was time for me, my daughter was 3 months old and I was done having kids...I set a goal to reach 199 by 12/31/08. I didn't make it that year or the next. Christmas 2010 I made it under 200...from there it has only gone down down down. Today I weigh 175.8. I got down to 174 in July but made my way back up to 185 after a 2 wk vacation. I don't have a set time that I "must" reach my goal but I would love to be there by late winter 2012 - 4yrs from my start. My goal is 140-150 but I'll decide the "end" goal when I get closer. I am also seriously considering a tummy tuck when I get near my goal weight. It will be my gift to myself for all my hard work. I'm also going to get a gold star tattoo on my hip after my surgery as a reminder of my journey and where I came from.

I have been using the MFP app since Feb 2010 and active on the website since June 2010. I love love love the support and friendships I have developed with the people on this site. It is an amazing community.

Good luck to everyone on this challenge, we can do amazing things in the next 16 wks...

Thank you Kristen for all of your hard work - the chart looks simply wonderful! :flowerforyou:

Up and running!!! Beautiful chart Kristen!! Thank you!
