Welcome to Delicious for Christmas & New Year 2014!
Guess what, everyone? Next week it will be 9 weeks until New Years Eve! Which means it’s almost 8 weeks until Christmas! Say whuuut?
This challenge…is the hardest challenge of the year. To get to New Years Eve you have to face Halloween candy, Thanksgiving madness and Christmas treats galore. I know in my family the entire month of December is a treat yo’ self extravaganza, so please only join if you are going to be dedicated to staying accountable towards New Years Eve.
For this challenge, BE REALISTIC! Are you aiming to maintain or lose? Set your standards a little lower for this one, because it’s good to enjoy the holidays with family. But it’s also good to not go overboard and remember you have an overall goal in life to achieve! One helping of food is enough!
So let’s support each other in these trying months and make sure we feel proud by the time 2014 is over and we can say hello to 2015 feeling confident and ready to face the new year!
Please read the rules!
Slap your name on the spreadsheet, enter the forum name where you’re joining from (20-somethings, 100 lb club etc), add your starting weight for this challenge (not your overall), put your goal weight over on the right hand side AND THAT’S IT! The spreadsheet monkeys do the rest... so don’t you be touching anything else! Don’t worry, they get plenty of bananas.
Each week you weigh in. "What day?" ANY DAY! Monday – Sunday. Weighed in a little bit lighter but it’s not your official weigh in day? Official weigh in day can go SUCK IT because you weighed a little bit lighter and you can change your weight as long as it’s before Sunday. Hells yeah!
Planning on going away during the time between now and New Years? No problemo munchkin, Right click the cell and add a NOTE not a comment. I repeat a NOTE, NOT A COMMENT. Comments get all moved around when people drop out of the competition. If you add a comment and I delete it then it's your own fault for not reading the rules.
If you fail to weigh in for more than 2 weeks you will be moved to standby. "But wait, I wasn’t ready to leave!" I hear you cry. Don’t worry my sexy candy panda, just come back into the thread and say WHADDUP BRO PUT ME BACK IN THIS GAME. Or something similar.
"But wait I just saw this and you guys are already being epic and losing weight, can I join?" Of course you can! Add in your weights if you have 'em and come on in!
I'm writing down what I eat since that keeps me the most in check. Also started Shaun T 25 again today. I did it earlier in the year and lost a pound a week.
What about you?
Hello all! I just joined the challenge as well. After gaining back a bunch of weight I lost I thought it's time to do this (again). I set an aggressive goal for myself to get into Onederland....hoping I can do this!
Laura - I know how you feel, I'm trying to get back to my lightest weight that I reached TWO years ago. I've learnt to let the past go and move forward. If you keep reminding yourself that you "failed" then it makes everything worse, you put unnecessary pressure on yourself that gets you no where. You can do it
