I need this extra motivation! I cheated over the long holiday weekend and it really did a number on my -20 by Christmas progress! One day of cheating turned into a whole weekend of cheating. Time to get back on track and stay on track through the holidays.

Had a good day today. I ate one extra ounce of meat, but I'm not beating myself up over it :). Pretty spacey also, but hopefully that will go away in the next day or two.

Had another great day, I'm glad we are on this together!
Staying strong and thinking about all of you are also in my shoes keep me going.
Cheers for another great day!
We can do this :)

New here, not sure how the challenges work. I didn't weigh in on Dec.1 and my WI was today and I am down 3lbs.:carrot: Do I count the 3lbs loss as 3lbs in the challenge or do I wait until next week WI to start counting it?

Weigh in was today.. the day after my 26th bday. Annnnd Happy Birthday to me! Down 6.5 pounds and 3 inches! ♥

I just restarted on Sunday and need to lose 20lbs too!

I'm down 2.25 pounds in the 4 days since joining this challenge! I hope this keeps up!!
(May the dieting and willpower fairies keep the "weight-loss wind" upon all your backs!)

12/1 = 255.75
12/2 = 255.50 (lost 0.25)
12/3 = 255.00 (lost 0.50)
12/4 = 254.00 (lost 1.00)
12/5 = 253.50 (lost 0.50)

I don't think there are any formal rules -- just wing it. And the prize at the end is a thinner you! BTW, fantastic job on your 3 pound loss, keep up the great work!!

No rules! You can count your 3 lbs, it'll give you motivation :)
Welcome, let's do this!
Hope your day goes great!

Same boat! And vertically challenged.

Day 6 and going strong.

Restarted today!!!! Hope to get rid of the 10 I've put back on since September!!!! Restarting is sooooooo hard!!!!

Weighed 188.8 yesterday at weigh in...

I'm in too! I think I can do 10 by Christmas, especially since this is my first week so hopefully I'll have a big fat LOSS to kick it off! We got this!!:hug:


I had a custom bra fitting earlier this year when I was @170... I've been wearing 36DD for the last 3-5 years. Guess what I measured... a 34H! WHAT?! I was in shock but the bra felt great. My fiance was like "There's such thing as an H?" Now it's too tight!!! That's how I knew i NEEDED to get my butt back on IP, I was not about to let my $68 dillard's bra go to waste! :p

Hey we have similar stats! I restarted yesterday, third time for me! I lost 30lbs with IP in 2012, lost 15 last summer and put 15 back on in a matter of months because I switched to a desk job and didn't phase off. Time to get it together for my wedding in March! Gotta fit into my size 12 dress!!! YIKES but we can do it together. PM me anytime!!! :carrot::hug:

i did the same thing and it's caused me to stall for a whole week (first up, then back down to my weight before i cheated). so it cost me a whole week, maybe more. oh well, all we can go is get back on track and do our best.
good luck!

way to go! i find your posts very inspiring :)
