Hey everyone! I just got done with a 10 pound challenge for Thanksgiving, and it really helped me out! So, I realized that it's exactly 5 weeks until New Years day today. I would love to have another challenge to push me along until then. Losing 2 pounds a week will get me to my New Years goal of losing 10 pounds (even though I really want to lose 11).
Anyone can join!! Weigh ins will be on Fridays. I'll start the stats:
CW: 245
New Years CW: 200.5
NY GW: 190.5

I haven't weighed any of these goals weights for more than 10 years ...:sad: at least. I would be Stoked if I could weigh 145 & blow everyone away at our Christmas Parties! Everyone is stick skinny but me...Every single year I'm the fat chick . I won't be as thin as they are but I'll sure feel good about myself without worrying if my Slimmers / Shapers are doing the job LOL:laugh:

Thanks!0 -
I just wanted to let you ladies know I am so ready for this challenge. Fr these next five weeks I am going to really work hard to accomplish this goal by New Years. Here is my plan:
I am 5'0"tall, and I have just upped my calories from 1200 to 1300 a day. And I usually never eat my exercise cals unless I am really, really hungry.
I go to the gym T-W-TH and burn about 700-800 calories each time. I have classes M and F, so I always used that as an excuse to not go to the gym those two days. But I going to start pushing myself to go anyways. Starting today!
We can totally do this.0 -
Hi Everyone
Luke 93... Good for you!! GREAT Plan!! You heard the saying~ Fail to plan... plan to fail ?
Today was my first day back... working out .(w/o)
I did 45 mins on the treadmill, some stretching, body weight exercises & did a few reps w/ hand weights , I feel GREAT & never knew how much I missed w/o or maybe its just knowing I am doing something GOOD for me & its been a long while.
I am right with you, I need to make a plan... ASAP. I am FINALLY ready to get it in gear!
I'll post my plan tomorrow anybody.. else ?0 -
I just joined the group No Sweets Until Christmas along with doing this challenge. I went without sweets completely for a week once and I lost 4 pounds! Now I've gotten to where I eat several a day again... but I had one treat tonight and I'm going to do my best to start fresh tomorrow and not eat sweets until Christmas! I've added up how many calories junk takes up and it's completely ridiculous! I know I can really make some progress by cutting them out.. it's only a little over 3 weeks. I know I can do this and I'm really positive/motivated about it! I can't wait to see the scale read 189 on New Years!!! That's my plan of action anyway... I've got the working out part down pretty good.
Good luck everyone.. we can do this! :bigsmile:0 -
You can do it Lisa!
I am just going to keep running three times a week.. maybe bring it up to four. I am going to start training myself to run farther (from 5K to 8K). I am also going to bring back in 30 Day Shred for December. And REALLY try to guzzle water, since that is what boosted my weight loss a month or two ago, but I have gotten bad about it again. :blushing:0
