So, you might be asking yourself, “What does this challenge entail?” All you have to do is set a goal amount of weight to loose, post it here, and check back in every once and a while to post up your progress. I’d also encourage posting before pictures if you can. On Christmas take a final picture of yourself under your Christmas Tree or Holiday Decorations. I think this will be a good motivation for me, and I hope other people. I’ll post the format I am going to use, but anything is up for grabs. I’ll be checking in every Monday to post my new weight, and at the beginning of every month I’m going to post new pictures. So, I hope every one is ready to go! :D
 
48 Pounds to Go!

Okay, a little about me: I’m a 22 year old female, happily married living in Seabrook, Texas. I work at a bank as a Data Entry Operator, and really do like my job. I enjoy singing Opera (well trying to sing Opera anyway) reading and playing with my dogs. My dogs are my favorite people in the world! They are two Miniature Schnauzers named Berger and Reeses. Berger is about 9 months old and jet black, Reeses is 2 years old and grey. They are wonderful pets, and I can assure you that my final picture will include these two. I don’t plan on having children so these puppies are spoiled rotten. I want to loose weight so I can live longer for my husband, so I can be happier, and because I am sick of being glutinous and lazy. I keep a weight loss journal on here, so if you’d like to glance at it you may find out more about me.

Right now I weigh approximately 260 pounds :( . I WILL purchase a scale tonight and post my true weight tomorrow.

I want to loose 48 pounds by Christmas.
That is approximately 4 pounds per week.

Here is one before pic at my wedding. I’ll try to get some better ones soon:

OMG I couldn't help noticing, if you just had a light behind you, you'd look exactly like an angel. Seriously, am I the only one who sees it?
The dress, the flowers, the face, the hair. I love that pic.

By the way, can I be in this challenge if I'm already in the October 1 month challenge?

Yay! I'm so excited for this challenge!

I'm Dari, I'm currently a stay-at-home mom of two (daughter is 4, son is 3 months), but I usually work in a daycare. I'm also a single mom. I've been overweight since high school, but it got worse in between children. I've lost about 15 lbs so far, and it's my goal to lose 20 by Christmas so I can feel great (and sexy!) at the Christmas and New Year's parties! (Also to rub it in my ex's face:eek: )

Starting weight: 185.2 lbs
Goal weight: 165 lbs
 
Ok, so I'm in!!

SW: 179
GW: 159

Oh my heck, I'll be seriously thrilled if I can lose another 20 pounds by Christmas.

Here's my starting weight picture which I took today in my new clothes!!! I love this picture of me!

I'm in!! I'm Chelsea, single mom to 3 kids... ages 7, almost 4 and almost 1! I worked all summer at a golf club but just shut down on Saturday and started my healthier living on Sunday! So far I've gotten in 2 walks and one bout of a cardio workout with the most annoying guy on video... LOL! I am setting a goal of 20lbs lost by Christmas, I currently weight 185....

Gotta work hard:p

With rollerbladers, billy blanks and the gym, hope it's gonna be a smooth journey to 104!:)

hey! I'll be posting my before pictures tomorrow. just wanted to tell everyone so far how great they all look now and I know by the end of this we will FEEL great too!:D
 
Ok, here are my before pics for the challenge. Ugh, from the side I don't look too bad, but I'm WIDE. Wider than I thought. Oh well, that's why I'm here!
 
I would love to lose 15lbs for Christmas. I was 180 after my first child and managed to get down to 143 and felt great. Now after #2 (6months) I am back up to 155 and would love to get to 140. I will post pic later.
 
I wanna join I wanna join!!
A little about myself =D
I'm 28, living with my long time BF. No kids, but have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Want to have kids one day and I know losing weight will help that.. nm the weight I'd be gaining whenever I do get pregnant.
Uhm Oh my weight heh...
I restarted this whole experience last week and I've lost 4lbs already :D
Starting weight was 228, now at 224 :)

I would LOVE to get below 200 for Xmas, but I'll set my goal for an even 200.
So that'd be a 24lbs loss by then :)
I'll add a before picture tomorrow if I remember! heh

YAY I finally have a short term goal =) Yay!
