Christmas Eve Challenge
 

Congratulations on your decision to get serious about weight loss!!

State your goal and track it daily or weekly till Christmas Eve with a supportive and upbeat group.

Everyone welcome!!

My goal is to be lighter than I am today. This challenge is just about 5 weeks long, therefore I challenge myself to drop 5 pounds through diet and exercise.

I challenge myself to eat better; less sweets or added sugar. I know it is hard during this Holiday season, that is why it is called a challenge :D

SW 154
GW 149

Count me in. My goal actually is to be in the 150's by the end of the year. It will be a very difficult goal to achieve with all the holidays, but I am going to give it my best shot. These next 3/4 weeks between Christmas and New Year are going to be the make it / break it point for me in achieving this goal.

I'm in. I challenge myself to weigh less on Christmas Eve than I do on Thanksgiving Day. That will motivate me to get on the scale tomorrow; I'm dreading it!

I just made a pumpkin log for the Thanksgiving dinner; I had to try it out because it is gluten free and sometimes GF products come out as meh (this one included :()... so I sampled the edges. One slice has 32g of sugar :eek: so there went today's living "sugar free".

This season is going to be challenging.....next I am off to make some peppermint bark,ugh.

living the lifestyle I feel that if I manage to maintain or drop a few pounds during these next upcoming weeks, it is a win. I am trying to push for 5 pound loss, but it may be a tall order.

Heidi When I stepped on that scale today and it made really sad. I was way below 150 less than a month ago....I am hoping that checking here each day will keep me in check.

Hello!

My goal is to stay below 120 throughout the holidays. Last year I managed to find 5 lbs. at this time of the year and I don't want to see that again!

Strength in numbers, hm? :grouphug:

HI all...my goal is to finally get to an even 140 lbs. I plan on taking baby steps to clean up my eating. Hopefully my move will be over in a few weeks and I can start my new life and have a new body to go with the new life :)

I will log on here often, if not every day, and confess my poor choices to you all...I need to be held accountable.

Lets do this!

That is my plan as well; the good, the bad and the ugly :D

I'm in also. I started the SBD this week (not totally perfect but I'm trying). I hurt my ankle so no major exercising for me for a bit until I can walk without pain, but I'll push through.

Good luck to everyone!!! :cheer2:

158 today - 140 is my goal

Cattails You are where I want to be!! Under 120 sounds devine!!

wantochange I love SBD, I use their cookbook all the time and I naturally follow SBD on most days (when I am OP).

My day was pretty good, except for the pumpkin roll slice I consumed. I did a double work out day; walk and weight lifting. I lifted heavy and my muscles are sore today.
