Christmas Challenge 2011

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's labor day was fun and exciting. So I was thinking about starting a Christmas challenge to begin on Sunday, Sept. 18th and ending on Sunday, Dec. 25th That would give us 14 weeks to kick our butts into shape!!!

On Sunday, weigh in with your starting weight and officially declare your goal weight that you would like to achieve for Christmas and looking sexy for our loved ones! In addition to all that I would like you to insert a NWG (non weight goal) and what I mean by that is a goal thats not weight directed. ex. running a mile, or giving up soda for this challenge. The format to follow should look something like this:

SW (9/18)-

Week 1 (9/25)-
Week 2 (10/2)-
Week 3 (10/9)-
Week 4 (10/16)-
Week 5 (10/23)-
Week 6 (10/30)-
Week 7 (11/6)-
Week 8 (11/13)-
Week 9 (11/20)-
Week 10 (11/27)-
Week 11 (12/4)-
Week 12 (12/11)-
Week 13 (12/18)-
Week 14 (12/25)-

Goal weight-
NWG (non weight goal)-

I know 14 weeks is a long time and as such the replies can get long and you may lose track of all you other posts so I suggest creating one post and just quoting it each week so you don't have to re-do the layout each week. Feel free to add me as a friend and let's help keep each other motivated and stay on track. Together we can do this! So, whose with me?

    To those who have joined so far, congrats on making the commitment..To those who are thinking about it, but aren't sure how this works, every Sunday, when you weigh in, just come back to the post and update your chart. You'll see how it works once we get started. I haven't filled in my Starting Weight yet, since We start the challenge next Sunday. On that day, I will weigh in and post my starting weight and my goal weight then every Sunday we'll all come back and post our updates.

    Can't wait to get more involved :smile:

    We CAN do this! :drinker:

    I want to join!!!

    Would you mind if instead of doing the weigh in on sunday I do it on monday? I am taking sunday off of the gym, so it will be difficult for me to the weigh in at home because I dont have a scale.

    If it wouldn't be a problem, then count me in. :)

    Thank you for starting something like this. I have an excuse for every season, and this will definitely help! One small note, I'll be out for 1 week during this... I don't know if I'll have internet access.
  • Count me IN =) I would love to lose 2lbs a week so that by Christmas I could reach my first goal of being just "overweight" and no longer obese !!
