Hey everyone!

We're starting a new challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a Race to 30 Pounds New Year's Challenge!!!! (As per the title, this challenge is for people who are aiming to lose 30 pounds by Dec 31st.)

The challenge runs from Oct 1 -Dec 31.

EVERYONE in the challenge is set to the 30 pound weight loss mark, BUT of course there are people trying to lose more, and some trying to lose less... The 30 mark is just for some friendly competition and motivation.

Please click on the link at the bottom of the message (or in my signature) for all the rules and the link to the spreadsheet!

The short version of the rules is:

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS... (3 steps ONLY! If you're doing more, you're not doing it right!!!!!)

(1) Open this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...FV6ZFVtY3J6RHc

(2) Type in your username at the end of the existing list.

(3) Type in your starting weight

THAT'S IT. I'll do the rest! LEAVE THE REST UP TO ME, please.

EACH WEEK ONLY TYPE IN YOUR WEIGHT FOR THAT WEEK. LET ME DO THE REST!
(I will try to sum up all the totals on Mondays for the previous week.)

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to clarify that this is the same challenge from the "30 pounds by 31/12/2012... IS it possible?" thread.

I created a new thread so that people who weren't following that thread, but who would like to join, can see it and join!

But maybe it would be easier if we continued chatting here, so we could have a thread that is dedicated to the challenge.

Again sorry for the confusion

I'm suuuuuuppppppper excited because the CHALLENGE STARTS MONDAY!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

30 pounds by New Years works out to 2.1 pounds/week... I don't know if I'll be able to do it... BUT I'm really looking forward to the challenge!!! AND we have soooo many people who signed up! That's great! Sooooo much support! I love it!

I'll start chatting here then.

1yr2mkovr - You should put a link directly to the spreadsheet from here.

[1yr2mkovr]

Ok, I added the link into the message! (with the brief version of the rules -- otherwise there is a lot of confusion and people trying to do their own calculations, which becomes a problem.)

Good idea!

I don't know how to close the other thread (also it's not my thread...) but I think eventually people will transfer over. We'll see

I'm in. Although my loss has slowed to a snail's pace I'm hoping it will keep me accountable.

[mamamiaa]

My WL has stalled too so this will help a lot!
Yay for challenges!!

[Symmetry]

I added my stats and name there, I hope it's okay if I mostly just lurk

So submitting weigh in will be at Mondays?

[Lilbert]

Found it!
Cant wait for this! Im already on, started at 154lb. Im not at 150.5lb, first weigh in is tomorrow!

[Nayshal]

Wait..so the challenge starts Oct 1. So does that mean we have to update our weight as well? I listed 172 with 142 as GW when I signed up, now I'm only at 167 and 137 as GW.

[Lilbert]

I dont now. My goal weight was 130lb, but the spreadsheet automatically changed it to 124lb becasue my start weight was 154lb. Im now 150.5lb so that should be my start weight if we start tomorrow. But as far as I see it, we all sort of joined and ept our start weights and the extra few days gave us a bit of head start goodness nows I need it!!

[nina cloudstar]

I signed up just to join in this challenge!! I am feeling really good about this. Submitting my info now!

[Kymish]

I added my name and stuffs ! Hope I did it right! I'm on my iPhone and it being finicky lol I'm excited to do this with u ladies !

[audri8301]

Just added my info as well. I keep falling off the wagon and attempting to crawl back on. Just the other day I said I felt like I needed a fall challenge to motivate me, so here we go!
