Looking Good For Christmas!

I'm in! I was looking for a long-term challenge so I'd have support when I start to flag. Here's my stats for right now:

Shannan Current 192 / Goal 169

When would the weigh ins be?

:flowerforyou: I'm in! I was looking for a good new group to join.

i did not weight myself this morning so I do not have my exact weight today, but on Sunday, it was 234.6 and my goal weight is 170...but for Christmas, I will set my goal for 185. That's about 2 lbs a week for me too.

I'm in! I am currently at 197. I want to lose 1-2 pounds a week, about 45-46 pounds by Christmas (and my 25th Birthday!!!)

The company I work for is encouraging us to workout and even allowing leave time to do so. No excuses to not show up at the gym!!

:flowerforyou: Best of luck!!

So what did you all for breakfast? I had 2 eggs over easy, 1 piece of toast, and a yogurt with a little bit of kashi crunch.

Okay, so, I had a piece of Strawberry cake this morning for breakfast. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I would bake a cake every week, give away half, and my family of 3 would have the rest. So, last night was cake night. I think I will postpone my cake baking project until I can have more control. I am a sweet junkie.

BUT, I packed 1 cup of bing cherries and a medium sized salad with 1/4 cup reduced fat cheese, 1 tbsp reduced sodium bacon bits, and light Catalina for lunch (I usually use less than 2 tbsp).

This sounds like a fun challenge ... I would love to try it too. The only difference is that here in Canada Eh our Thanksgiving is October 12th this year so I've added that to the list for us Canucks. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. by Christmas to bring me down to 159 lbs. Yay ... good luck all!!

Hope I can do it!

For breakfast this morning I had a bowl of Kashi Oats and Wild Blueberries. So yummy!

LOVE this! Count me in too....I had 1 cup of Fiber One cereal "honey clusters" & 1/2 cup of 2% milk for breakfast.

32oz. of water for me so far today:drinker:

For breakfast this morning I had a broccoli cheese omelet made with 2 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 cup broccoli and 2 slices of cheese. I wish I could learn to eat this without the cheese.

:drinker: Remember to keep drinking that water!:drinker:

Have you tried Kraft naturals fat free cheese? It's really not that bad...you get use to it. Every now and then, I will treat myself to 2% cheese or 1/4 of the amount I normally use of full fat cheese.

Hi Everyone!

I am definitely in and here are my stats...

SW as of today: 242.4
GW by Christmas: 210

Looking forward to the challenge!!

Take care and good luck everyone.

Count me in too! I think Christmas is a great time to be my goal weight. And much more logistic (for me). Had a very rushed morning this morning, so all I had was a 1/2 cup of Danon Mixed Berry yogurt. I was starving by lunch tho! But, now, my tummy's filled again, and I am content.

Good Luck Everyone!

I am in!!! today is a start to a new eating plan, so hopefully that will help as well. I started P90X the beginning of June and have gained about 2 lbs. I think it is more muscle. I have lost 9 1/2 in the last 3 weeks. My goal is to lose 20 lbs before my birthday in October. Here is to being thinner and happier!!!
On a side note, I have made a goal to not weigh for 3 weeks, so for now my weight will be the same. Then I will start hopefully putting in lower numbers. I am glad that I found this thread, thanx for the challenge.

Congrats on starting the couch to 5k! You will do great. I just ran my first 5K on 4th of July weekend and am addicted.

I like the idea of the longterm challenge to keep me going. we've been doing biggest loser at work and I need something to keep me going when that's done.

Start weight: 199lbs (I started at 215 so I'm pretty happy at FINALLY being below 200!!)
