This challenge is not for the faint at heart. It's for anyone interested in committing to losing 5 pounds before Christmas. That is in another 3 1/2 weeks. Yikes!!!
Here are my stats for the challenge.
BEGINNING WT: 148.5 (as of 11/26)
GOAL WT: 143.5
LBS LOST: 0
LBS TO GOAL: 5
Post your stats each week after WI and we'll see if all of us can lose a few extra pounds before the Christmas season hits.
Hi Peggy As nice as it would be to lose 5# before Christmas, I don't think that is a very realistic
goal for me. Last week I lost .4# which brought me to 154.2#. I would be happy if I got to 152# before Christmas. We only have 3 more WW weigh-ins before Christmas.
Good luck to you in reaching your goal.
Thought I would pop in to update my Christmas Challenge stats. Lily and Slavika, you have already lost for the challenge. You are both close to reaching your Christmas goal and over the next two weeks should see the success in losing a couple of extra pounds before holidays hit.
Here is my update, so far:
BEGINNING WT: 148.5 (as of 11/26)
PRESENT WT: 145.5
GOAL WT: 143.5
LBS LOST: 3.0
LBS TO GOAL: 2.0
I am hoping to lose the 2 pounds left for the challenge, plus at least one extra. More would be even better, but I don't think that is do-able.
Have a good week. Good Luck on losing more towards the challenge.
Peggy, I live close to Richmond. I live in Mechanicsburg which is in between Anderson and NewCastle. I love living in the country, I was raised in Anderson, but moved when I got married.
Trudy, I love crafts too, what are you making? What kind of crafts do you do?
Ann, I even love the cows. I don't eat cows or pigs. I have chickens but don't eat my own, they have names, and I know them all intimately.
Maria, Husband and hunting. Well, it is a man thing here. A macho thing. He has gotten one deer in the last five years. But they go out into the forests and pretend they are Daniel Boone. He eats the meat. I wouldn't, and couldn't. It is hard for me as an animal lover to even consider it. But I respect his right to his beliefs. He hunts with a Muzzleloading gun, which is like one that the pioneers had that you stuff the ball in the end and the gunpowder. He is very into history of the US and that type of Indians and 1800's era.
Mypersonal note, I don't eat mammels. I eat poultry and fish. I don't know why. Something happened in my life some years ago, and I no longer could eat them. I see them too close to us as humans. I don't resent anyone else eating them, but I cannot.
Well I am out to buy chicken food today, and mail some packages. Have a good day all, I am going to hang on and see if I can lose five pounds by Christmas too!!
Hi Peggy ST I went to WW yesterday and I stayed exactly the same 153.6#. I really would have liked to have lost "something" but I happy was not to have gained any weight. See you on our board.
Slavika
Just checking in before Christmas. Even though I had lots of parties and dinners out to contend with last week, I was very careful with what I ate. I did manage to lose 3.75 pounds last week.
BEGINNING WT: 148.5 (as of 11/26)
PRESENT WT: 141.75
GOAL WT: 143.5
LBS LOST: 6.75
LBS TO GOAL: -1.75
I have managed to reach my Christmas goal a week early, plus meet the 30 pound loss bet that I had with one of my sons. Hoping to lose 1 more pound before Christmas really comes, then to manage my eating during that time.
Cheers,
