I'm in! My goal is 8 lbs by July 4th!, Increase water intake, completely get off diet soda except for restaurant dining and continue to work out every day.

Hello All! I like this thread. Excited to see how we all did. My goals:

1) Lose 10 lbs
2) Keep drinking 96 oz of water
3) Go on a nice long hike

I'd like to join in...

-- Lose 5+ lbs (ie, be below 164 --> the scale read 169.2 this morning)

LADIES!!

I am so in! Here are my goals:
1. Lose 10 more pounds!
2. Do the 5:45am spin class Mon - Fri
3. Do 30 Day Shred Every night

I am so stoked about this!

Count me in. This is just the sort of thing that I need to motivate myself. My challange is going to be to complete Week 3 of the couch to 5k program. I started earlier this week and I am having a hard time even doing week one. I have only been able to do 4 of the intervules. So completeing week 3 by the 4th should be a real challange for me.

Good Luck everyone:dust:

Good Morning Friends! :wave:

I'm undecided on my goals for this challenge. Despite my hard work lately I appear to be temporarily stuck. I really want to kick things into high gear this next month. I will be in FL the last week of June for a college/sorority reunion and I want to look and feel my best! :D I guess my goal is to completely stay in the "game" mentally and physically! :dizzy:

So, what's everyone doing today to work towards your goals?

Me....I carefully planned out my food for work with my little cooler of breakfast and snacks to get me through the day. I buy my lunch in the cafeteria, but it's always healthy...I get a stirfry with chicken and lots of veggies! Tonight's dinner is not officially planned, but I believe it will be some leftover chicken and grilled veggies. Tonight I will be at the gym for cardio - 45 min on the treadmill followed by some abs and stretching. I also want to make some time to read Tom Venuto's Body Fat Solution - I've been browsing through it and love what he has to say, just have to find the time to sit down with it!

Ok...ramble over. Gotta put on my work hat for now.

Later chicks! :)

Hi all! I would love to join.

My goals:

- Lose 10 lbs
- Drink 64oz of water everyday
- Excerise at least 5 times per week

Yay! I am so glad that I found this community. I am excited! :D

Im in for this challenge.

So I will go to my college gym class every scheduled day and work out the whole time not gab.

I will workout at home when I dont have class.

I will turn the TV and Computer OFF for 6 hours during the time my husband is at work and move instead of sit.

That is a fantastic goal! good luck :)

1 pound down, 7 more to go!!!!!

I took everyone's advice and am not re-eating my exercise calories. I'm doing my best to stick to 1350. Here's hoping!

Welcome to everyone!!:) Lots of people joining this challenge BRAVO! :carrot:
I am stuck at 201 to 200 LOL~I AM SO WAITING FOR THE 100's!

BARB~ GOOD JOB ON Knowing what your going to eat and do and having a plan....I am proud of you.:hug:

JAM~I am gonna start calling you the JAMINATOR! You are so athletic!
A handstand~WOW~ I So could NOT imagine doing one of those even with help....hehehe~I am a wimp I guess and outta shape on those kinds of things.
I AM SO HOPING YOU REACH THAT GOAL~I gotta brag to the hubby about ya~AGAIN ~THATS so cool.:cool:


babenwaiting Good job On the losing a pound already ~YOUR DOING FABULOUS!:D

Woohoo, we are getting some new challengers on this one, so :welcome: if this is your first CC Holiday Challenge, and welcome back :wave: to all returning challenge junkies (lol)!

Lori, thanks on the handstand. I was totally shocked that I could hold the handstand at all, even with help getting up there. Now that I know I won't fall on my head, I feel like it's just a matter of practice (and nerves :brr:) till I can kick up into a handstand all by myself. That's the theory, anyway, lol. BTW, I like that song you were singing...that's a good song to jamskate to.

Well, I'm still sick with some bronchitis or similar PITA thing that has me coughing all night and can't breathe half the time. Annoying! I've tried working out, but anything that requires heavy breathing just turns into a coughing fit. So, I've just been trying to make up for missed workouts by doing a couple hours of yard work every day. It's not quite the same, but it's something, and I have been sticking to my eating plan. I really miss going to the CF gym, but can't use up the rest of this month's training cuz of being sick and contagious. Hmmph!

Hopefully, the crud will be gone in a few more days, and life can get back to normal. I might try another workout this evening when it cools off a little, and see if I can do SOMEthing resembling a workout without choking to death. Once you get addicted to working out, it's like torture not being able to do it!

Count me in too. This will be my first challenge. My goals:

1. Lose 5 pounds
2. Work out 5 days a week

I am stuck at 138, so this will be good for me. :cb:

down, .5 with 7.5 left to go!
