I'm back again! I still haven't lost weight from my starting weight, but I finally dropped the last of what I had gained back. I'm back at 189.4, and I plan on moving down again pretty quickly. Keep up the good work everyone!

aw thanks!
 
Hey everyone! Christmas is coming soon...just finished my Christmas shopping, just need to do a few homemade things, and I'm done. Now I'm focusing on getting into the 160's for it!!!!
 
Thanks for the welcoming! I am looking to lose 13lbs before Christmas. I have just started today so I have a lot of work ahead of me. What kind of exercise are you all doing? Have any of you tried the Biggest Loser DVD? I have it packed away somewhere tomorrow I am going to go find it so I can start doing that. Well good luck to everyone!!
 
WooHoo!! I am so excited to do this challenge. We have 35 days til Christmas. So, my goal is to weigh 165 on Christmas morning. I am very very sick right now, so the first couple days may be hard. Can't walk two feet without blowing my nose and getting dizzy! But I'll do my best and bust it out when I feel better!!
 
Hey guys!

First of all, welcome to everyone that’s new, and good luck!

I forgot to weigh in on Monday :rolleyes: so i weighed in today. i weigh 116.2! that’s like almost 2 whole pounds this week! Which i totally don’t understand, because i fell off the wagon BIG time this week. I think it might be a fluke... :(
 
Welocme to all the new People!!!!! You can do it ! Just stick with it!

As for me I have been doing my best. Drinking my WATER, of course :p and working out every day. I did the ellipitical yesterday for 40 min. and I did my Pilates today and 150 crunches. Ya'll ready for THANKSGIVING??

We're going to Austin to visit my husbands grandparents and uncles. I am going to try to watch my portions. I promise. The thing I am worried about is the beer and wine. Ya'll have a GREAT Day and drink your WATER!!!

At this moment my ticker says my goal is to loose 17lbs by xmas. Only have a month. Yeah that's not gonna happen!!

The reason I have 'fallen behind' on my xmas goal is that my weight loss has slown down very much these past few weeks to 'only' about a pound a week. To be honest, I don't mind this at all. My B.M.I. is now healthy. Only just, but it is. Therefore I am in no rush to lose weight. In fact, I almost prefer that it is slow, as my eating habits now I could stick with forever, I'm sure. I could not stick to what I have to eat to lose 2-3lbs a week.

SO I'm changing my Christmas goal to be 10stone (140lbs) on Christmas morning. Losing 8 pounds is still a lot in a month I think!! So it'll keep me motivated. But it's acheivable.

I hope no one thinks I'm flaking by changing my goal!!

:D
 
Things are going well here too...don't think I'll be as sexy as I wanted to be by Christmas :( , but I do believe I will hit the 160's by then.:)
 
I wanna join this challenge. I've never been apart of one before and I figured this one would be great to start with. I'm assuming it's not too late, seeing to how Christmas is still awhile away. I'll post my before picture tomorrow morning after I weigh in, along with my goal. Great job to everyone so far! Keep up the great work.

Ok with Thanksgiving outta the way I am ready to hit
my XMAS goal! I am so pumped up and so done with eating
the wrong foods in LG quanities! Cmon 175!!!!
We can do this Goodluck everyone,Tammy
 
Alteredimage you look fantastic already lol. 140 is my long-term goal but looking at that I think I'd be pretty excited to reach 151!!

I am worried about my Xmas aim at the mo... can't see myself managing it as I seem to be stuck in a rut at the moment :( Judging from my progress so far, I think it's a bit much to expect to lose 11lb between now and Christmas. (Especially with the various Christmas parties, Christmas dinner/chocs/crisps etc on the day itself and god knows what other temptations I will run into!)

I am still going to give it my best shot though. It will just be dissapointing if I don't get to my target in time.
 
Well I was the main participant in some self-sabotage today. I was annoyed that the scale is misbehaving so in my infinite wisdom I decided to show the scale who's boss and ate a Wendy's kids meal, a junior frosty, two slices of pizza and four pepperidge farm pirouette's. Great Kaitie, just great. I really shouldn't be surprised if the scale bites back tomorrow.

My point, I don't think I'm going to be seeing 159 before Christmas--so ^ you and I will be in the 'we tried' club---which is a lot better than the 'why bother club' :)

LOL at showing the scale whose boss. I feel like that sometimes, its the old "well who needs u anyway" feeling. :D

Yeh, if I don't get there I am going to think positive and think well hey I got as close as I can, at least having a target is keeping me working eh?
 
Ok, so I don't recommend cheating on a diet but hey--something went right while I was sleeping last night--I'm down to 168.5! Weehee!

*slaps hand* No more cheating Kaitie!
 
It's wierd, eh? The few times I went a little (ok, a lot) overboard on the calories, I lost more weight. :rolleyes:

I'm at an even 173 today!! *jumps up and down* I'm so excited...and so close to 169 that I can taste it!
