Default Lose 10 by Easter challenge...

Well I have been away from the board a bit and my weight is very slowly going down. So I thought maybe I need a challenge on the board to keep me going like I should have been doing.

Nothing to special about this challenge just lose 10 by Easter which is 3 months away I think. So if you wanna join in please do. The more the merrier.

I'll try to jump in. If Easter is 3 months away, i want to definately be down 15 by then. That would put me at 121. I'm pretty sure i can do that. I should have already been about there but the holidays have been rough to get thru. Just can't seem to make myself plan my meals or stick to them for some reason. Glad to lose a couple but wishing i could lose the 5 a month like i was doing. Good luck!!!

Can I join with a goal of 25 pounds? That would be just a tad over 2 pounds a week. I will weigh in the morning so I know exactly how bad it is LOL.

I have been on hiatus from the board since around October and I am pretty sure I am up to around 188 now.

I really need to refocus and I think I am ready.

The verdict is in. Since the last time I weighd myself 11/23, I have gained 5 pounds
I am hoping I can get rid of it pretty quick though! All this dang holiday food LOL.

Well....I think since i last posted....I am at 138. That's actually pretty good because i saw it go up to 141. Slowly i think i am flushing all the sodium out of my system. I still think i can do 10 pounds by Easter. Just gotta get with the program. I started back at my gym Wednesday. Felt good. Can't wait to get back to class tonight. I am definately going to be rededicating myself to the gym and my healthy eating. Stopped by the store on my lunch break and picked up some more skinless chicken breast...so that's a start.

I'd like to join. Losing 10 lbs by Easter would be great. I'll post my weigh-ins on Sat. Today I am 248.4.

Okay....I'm doing pretty good i guess. I actually saw 135 this past saturday. I won't change my ticker until i see it again. Twice is the rule for me. I have to see it twice to change my ticker...that's only if i am going down. Up doesn't count....hehehehe.

So....todays WEED is...

W- 64 ounces
E- 1200 calories
E- gym class
D- take it one day at a time....one meal at a time.

How's everyone else doing??? Anybody else going to make their goal by Easter?? How many more weeks do we have until Easter?? It's in March this year, right??? I'm so clueless....hahahaha.

oh...and i don't think i'll make 121 by Easter...but if i can get down to the high to mid 120's....i'll be pretty happy. And i just checked the calendar and Easter is March 23rd.

Right, I'll join in with the goal of 10 by Easter. I've been really having trouble losing weight lately. As of today I'd have to say my official weight is 173 pounds, although it's been much lower lately, around 168-170-ish. 160 is my goal weight anyway. I think my body's going to kick and scream about this one, since I'm getting so close to my target weight, so 10 seems reasonable.

I would love to get into your 10# by Easter Challenge. I just joined this site and am doing WW. I have a vac. to California planned for Feb.14th so I have a short term goal too. I have never seen the WEED thing before. Makes sense (what's the D stand for?)

The D is the daily affirmation or daily goal...it can be about getting something done around the house or school work or whatever...or like a daily affirmation like...I can do this just one meal at a time or something like that. (Did I explain that right, anybody???)

And welcome Izzy and Impalahoarder!!!! Good luck on your goals. I hope i can make mine. If i don't stop "splurgeing" i'll never make it to goal. I stopped off with my boyfriend at Arby's today for lunch. I didn't make a bad sandwich choice...but i could have done without the small jamocha shake!!! But it was good though. Can;'t remember last time i had a shake.

Okay....so my trip to arby's ended up not costing me. I was actually down .4 ounces. I weighed less this morning than yesterday morning. I am officially 135. But again, what did i do....I just had a slice of birthday cake!!!!!! WHAT???? Thank goodness it's gym class night. I am going to work that cake off and drink another 2 bottles of water to help flush it out so hopefully i'll still see 135 tomorrow. Also, make sure i eat a light dinner of chicken breast and some green beans. Geez. I don't know why i had to have that slice of cake. I wasn't even really hungry. And i'll be eating birthday cake on saturday at my nephews birthday party. At least there, i can control how big of a peice i get. Here, i had to have someone cut it for me and bring it to me. Oh well...I'm human and i make mistakes but i'm not going to let one bad food choice today ruin my mood or my hard work. It just means i have to go work out hard at the gym tonight (which in my class, is not hard to accomplish!!).

Anyways....anyone else still working towards Easter????
