in Motivation and Support
I know that this time of year is the hardest to lose weight! But lets challenge ourselves to lose at least 5lbs before the new year!! Keep the motivation adn encouragemen alive! This time of year is tough and if can get the through the holidays with a 5lbs or more weight loss I think that is an achievement! Mark your current weight in this thread to keep motivated. Then on January 1, 2012 everyone come back to this thread and mark your current weight as of that Jan 1!

Add me as a friend for more encouragement and motivation!
Lets do this!

    Five pounds in 19 days is not a realistic goal for me. Good luck to you though!

    Sure, I will join if you like. It won't be very impressive though! I am currently at 149.5, and since I don't have much to lose, my goal is 1/2 pound per week. If I stay on track I will be at 148 on New Year's. :D

    Are you anticipating having trouble losing over the holidays? I was looking back at my data and even the weeks where I went way over (like 1,000 calories over for the week) I still lost steadily. Hopefully that holds true for Christmas.

    I would love to join... I definately need some encouragement. I want to start 2012 under 200lbs. I am at 204.4 as of this morning and I just can't seem to get past 203.2 (I was there on Saturday). I am proud of what I have done thus far, I haven't weighed this low since I graduated high school in 2004. Again, all the encouragement is helpful. :)

    This was my plan and I'm already at 3lbs lost! I'm 211.5 right now, I'd love to be in the two-single digits by New Year. I'm aiming for 209 or less!

    I only have another 9 pounds to lose. There is no way I can lose 1/4 pound PER DAY without drastic, unhealthy measures.
