Hello all, I'm new here. I know there is alot of seasonal challanges going on, but personally I'm thinking more long term...CHRISTMAS! There is 12 weeks before christmas. And as a gift to myself I'd like to be at a certian weight by then. I've been struggling due to many things, but I really want to take control of my life and be accountable with this. Plus it would feel amazing Christmas day to have reached my goal! Wouldn't you?

p.s Have you noticed how all holidays involve food? We should learn to still enjoy these days with loved ones-but with healthy choices. Dang, Christmas seems far away but looking at how fast weeks fly...it's a scary thought.

good luck!

Let's work it ladies!!!!

Sounds like a great idea to me! Now that I'm FINALLY able to be back on track with my exercise (I had my gallbladder out and they told me no exercise for 6 weeks...so I gained about 3 pounds) I think this challenge is exactly what I need to get me back on track with the REST of my healthy lifestyle I had going before the surgery. I'm super excited! My goal will be a 20 pound loss....but I'd take 10, or 30 would be incredible. Whatever my body is willing to give.

week 1: 247
week 2: 247 (I'm surprise I didn't gain. I was at a festival this weekend and ate tons of stuff I shouldn't have)
week 3: 250.1 (I was expecting this, but I WILL lose next week)
week 4: 250.1 (Maintaining is better then gaining, and I went to several parties this weekend)
week 5: 247 (yay a loss! It's just my starting weight, but it's 3 pounds!)

I'm always up for a challenge!
My weight today is up 4 lbs from the end of September, thanks to just getting home from a 9 day indulgent vacation... so I expect it to whoosh back down in the next few days. I've been hanging at 130-something for 3 months now... I'm ready to buckle down and finally reach my goal!
