I'm in! Not sure If I can start the first week of January tho I'll be visiting family so I will try to stay on track but I wont be able to do any weigh-ins till I get home.
I'm in, too!
how did you guys plan to lose weight - exercise, food, ...?
I must say I suck food-wise , so I'm really trying to make myself a food plan I can stick to!
Oh, is the spreadsheet supposed to randomize itself? *was remembering the row number she signed on*
I sort it alphabetically, so when I visit it again I give it a re-arrange!
aleks - I combine healthy eating with lots of exercise. I exercise using the Insanity workout 6 times a week, eat 2200 calories of good healthy food and drink lots of water. Visit here: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/myplate/index.aspx to get a personalised food plan - it really helps to inform you on what exactly you should be eating in a day to maintain a healthy balanced diet.

Hey guys I want you all to be careful when you're handling the spreadsheet, for some reason someone had deleted some of the titles of the columns and some of the dates were moved out of place. Don't know how it happened, but remember everything you do is saved!
Does it matter if I join and need to maintain from mid-January to mid-February? I need to get alterations done to a bridesmaid dress in Jan and will have to hang at that weight until the wedding in February lol.
One of my goals was to be bikini ready at some point in the summer so this challenge (completely with spreadsheet!) is exciting and just what I want. I haven't been able to wear one since I was under 10 and it's a goal I'm really looking forward to =)
aleksandra - I plan on couting calories (approx 1300-1400 a day) and exercising to meet my goal. I think it is really important to have a good food plan because there is no way to exercise off a bad diet (there just isn't enough time to work out that much). I plan on going to spin class 3-4 times a week and then go swimming 3 times a week on my own. I might also throw some running into my exercising since I am toying with the idea of someday completing a triathlon.
While this is my plan for January over the holidays I am trying to enjoy myself while maintaining my weight. I am passing over food that I can have all the time and eating less of the food that is only available at Christmas time. How is everyone else coping with the holidays?
I'm Not going to tell myself I can't have bad food during the holidays. Depriving tends to make it worse. Instead I'm going to space out the time in between eating. Instead of feasting all day, Have small amounts of goodies every once and awhile not in one serving.
