So, I start another group. THIS one, however, is guaranteed to stay alive! I promise. :wink:
Anyway! Welcome to Christmas Cookies Anonymous, a weight-loss group dedicated to reaching a personal goal by Christmas. Whether it's the first 10 pounds or the last 20, everyone here gets to pick a healthy goal for Christmas morning. What better present could there be?

equinehugger3 - *Starting weight coming soon*


I'll be looking for anywhere from 15 - 20 people, if we can get that many.








Here's a spreadsheet I made to track our progress. It's set up so that anyone with the link can edit, so feel free to add yourself once your "request" to join is approved!

We'll be doing some weekly challenges here, a few per week. They'll start out easy and progressively get harder.
Example: Week one will be something like "Lose 1 pound, burn 1,000 calories, drink at least 6 glasses of water a day, etc."
Week two could be: "Burn at least 1,500 calories, drink at least 7 glasses of water, stay under your calorie goal everyday."
I'll settle week one once we get all of our members! If you have any suggestions for challenges, feel free to post or PM me! It's sometimes hard to come up with all of them. :tongue:

This is NOT required, but I'm hoping it will really help. Every time that I lose a certain amount of weight, I'll buy myself a new shirt. I'm hoping it'll help encourage me to do a bit better, especially if I'm looking better and better in the new shirt every time! Feel free to set up something for yourself, but you don't have to.
You could do anything from get your nails done to seeing a movie...

Our weekly weigh-ins will take place on Fridays. I'm thinking this is a pretty good day, because most people are less likely to mess up during the week. Compared to weekends, anyway. :tongue: You can give me your starting weight when you join, or PM me it, and we'll have our first weigh-in on Friday!

Woot! Thank you, and post anytime you want to join. :smile:

    I would love to join! Starting weight (if you'll have me) is 173.6 and my goal is to lose 8 pounds. I don't have a lot left to lose so about a pound a week would be healthy for me.

    I would like to join. I think having a challenge will keep me motivated, because my motivation to lose weight lacks sometimes. I have already created a goal to lose 10 lbs by Christmas. Recently I weighed in and had lost 3 lbs :smile: So, anyways, I weighed in at 204 lbs. this week. I hope you will add me to the group so we can all help each other to reach our goal by Christmas.

    Count me in. Todays weight is 175. I want to loose 20 pounds by the end of the year so I need to stay focused and work hard. I've already lost 18 pounds the last two months. i've already changed alot of my "bad habits" and the weight I've taken off is staying off. Now to just get down to correct size. Thanks!!!

    May I join? I'm at 139.5 and am trying to get to 132 by Christmas. I'm relatively new to the site and think I could use some accountability by joining a group, as opposed to just lurking around the message boards :)

    Alright, great! Everyone who's posted so far is in. I'm going to take the next 3 or so requests, if we get that many, then we'll be good to go! Feel free to add yourselves/fix anything I messed up on the spreadsheet!

    I too would like to join, for myself, but more so for encouragement for my lovely wife Amy Clark (who asked to join a few posts up). We are trying to start a healthy life together (married this past summer!), and any outside encouragement is always greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm ~245 working towards 200.
