Hej girls and guys out there!

:love: Wanna get fit and sexy til' X-mas? Wanna suprise your relatives who haven't seen you alot, with a totally new apperance?:flowerforyou:

Thought about starting a new challenge until X-Mas 2011, since there are already some, but all of those I've found have been closed.

This group is going to be open, so anyone can join at any time.

Here is how it works:
From today (Sep 23, 2011) til December 23, 2011
:glasses: we'll be weighing in every Friday first thing in the morning and please check in afterwards as soon as possible, since there are some time differences, and we don't have to wait to long for you!
On the weekend I'm going to post the ranking, who has lost the highest percentage of his or her starting weight.

To check in your weight please fill in this Google-form, to make things easier :)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDdkU3ZHVkY2U3oweFc0NldxVzRzdEE6MQ

On the day before the big weigh-ins I'm going to repost the link with the form :)

Please friend me, so I can remember all of you, who did not weigh in on time.
:heart: I think it also would be nice to friend each other so we can support each other during our challenge.

To keep motivation please share your efforts, victories and also flops, or where you've not been confident with yourself!

:flowerforyou: Minichallenge for this week - try to do 30 mins of exercise every day and try to stay under your sodium every day of this week!

    I will join this group!!! Have not joined a group in a while and my journey has slowed to a crawl. Have found when I have to weigh in to someone other than me I am more motivated.

    Weight as of today: 160
    Goal Weight: 130


    Good luck everyone

    I would love to join in! I assume that this is a challenge to lose as much weight as possible by Christmas?

    One small problem....Since this is the first time I've ever posted on the message boards here, how do I get back to this thread since I found it on the right side of my home screen?! (HaHa) - I guess that's the first part of the challenge... :)
  • the link is not working... i too would like to join!

    At the top of the message boards page there are a few tabs Home > Recent Posts > My Topics > Signature > Search

    You can find any thread you posted in in the My Topics tab.

    Yes, obviously the challenge is to loose as much weight as possible by Christmas 2011.

    @movn4ward: no problem, we're just starting, so there won't be a delay in the statistics :wink:, just make sure you weigh yourself tomorrow in the morning and fill in the google-form

    @all the others: great to have you here, please fill in the form, now it should be working.

    Looking forward :smile:

    you're all so much faster than I am, will have to speed up to track all the posts and to check everthing is working out before posting, since I didn't get the chance to correct it before you all answered :smile:

    I filled the form in, I have to admit I am not sure excatly what I weigh so I have guessed I have just ordered some scales and they will be with me Tuesday, can I edit my weight after?

    This is my first group so heres hoping that it helps! That would be the best christmas gift. I am such a chocoholic its scary I eat at night like I ma starving so I want to get this under control!

    @elizabethsmum: you can't directly edit it, but if you send me a message, I'll correct it for you in the form!

    @valarie1972: please fill in the google-form at the bottom of the first page and that's it for today. This weeks' challenge is to stay under sodium everyday of the week and to do at least 30 min of excercise every day.
    Each friday, you should do your weigh in first thing in the morning and then fill out a google-form, where I'll post the link. Like that I don't always have to type in your weigh-ins, but have them all at the place. :wink:
