Race to 20
 

Ok, I am throwing a challenge out. I lost 20 lbs just before the holidays. and it didn't take too long. 20 lbs is managable. small goal. unlike the entire 80 or what every I was looking at when I started. So I am going to look at my weight loss in increments of 20 lbs. 20 lbs is a nice amount, it is small enough that it shouldn't overwhelm, but it make a great impact it will drop you one to two dress sizes, and that feels great! So. Here is my challenge. lets start today. and see who can get to that 20 loss first. You in?

I'll take you up on this.. I didn't WI in this morning, so I'll officially start my count tomorrow. I think I'll probably do a TO to get things started.. Haven't done one of these in a LONG time, so it may be just what the doctor ordered!

well I weighed in this am and I was down where I thought I would be. so I was 180.2 still above the ticker but not enough to move it. I will wait til I can move it down. So 20 will put me at 160 and with only 20 more to go. that is exciting. At this point it is almost strange to see you on the Chicks! I see you more on FB I think

I know.. No kidding.. FB seems to have a life of its own.. LOL...

I've been trying to set up a 20lb tracker like yours, but it's only wanting to let me set up one where I have to put my weight in. Been so long since I've done a tracker that I've forgotten how to do it.. Grrrrr...

I had to work at it a while to remember too. I set it with the trackers on here, and for the three weights I put starting weight 20 current weight 20 and goal weight 0. and then it set it up for a 20 lb loss

looks like its me and you on this one Dan! we might as well track this on FB!!!

Ohhh no, I am here for this one too!! I need all the challenges I can get!

You know what this sounds PERFECT! I was just saying how I would like to lose another 20! I am in. I will start with my weight from my WI on Sat.

1/03 171.2

Ohhh Lettie you didn't give us enough time! HA!

haha, I do tend to be a bit impatient!!

Whats FB?

FaceBook - you guys are on? It's like crack on a computer! Hmmm - you may be getting a friend request!

I'm in. Hopefully I will win this by next week (kidding, but secretly wishing!)

Kim, You deserve to win this challenge! You would be in ONEDERLAND!

Oh, no, not really - just had me some ticker denial. It's all good now, though.

Okay, well you would be close enough! lol

Count me in b1tches!!! I will go make a ticker in a few minutes, if my stupid computer will let me. It has been a bear all day. I think 3FC is burnin' up also. You know, everyone is getting on the wagon with the first of the year and all :) And, Kim.......I will be watching for a friend request on FB :)
XOXO

Ok.. I think I figured this thing out...

im in
 

Would Love To Join...the 20 Lb Challenge

Yeah! I cannot wait to get this 20lbs back off. The good thing about re-starting is that they first few lbs are the easiest right? I know we can do this!

I'm in too..
Dan - did Nicole just call you a bltch? FOR SHAME!!!
Can't believe all the folks on face book.....I'm on too, but Kim's right..it's addictive and I told myself I would just do it to see misc pictures...but it's starting to take over too much time! Argh...technology overload!

Oh can I be in too :)

I'm in! My weight today is 246, so my goal for this challenge is 226. It's sad to admit, but it is very hard for me to imagine stepping on the scale and seeing 226. Most people would probably be horrified...I would be absolutely thrilled! :carrot:

Good luck everybody! :)

Well, now that I know what FB is, lol, I am on too, I am more of a myspacer though...

haha, that is because you are young. one of my friends said on FB that her teenage son told her "Facebook is myspace for old people" it is so true.

All right, that is it. I am in. I will weigh in a few minutes and change my ticker. It's on!!!

I will join in on this...though a bit late....I offically start the LA program next Tuesday! So will weigh in with my starting weight then. I hope to lose the first 20 lbs quickly!

I have a Myspace account too.. Does that mean I'm really young? Though I have it, I rarely use it.. FB is just a lot more fun and interactive..

3lbs in people. mostly water I know, but that is ok. I really started hitting the water the other day. and peed all day!!! there was that 3 lbs! 17 to go

WTG Lettie!

I'm 3lbs closer as well! I've lost and gained these last 10 lbs over and over so I'm ready to get em gone and start working on the next 10. Let's get these 20 gone!

I won't even attempt this one because #1 - I'd look sick if I actually lost the 20 and #2 - I'm losing at about 1lb per month rate now... But I'll be looking and cheering you guys on!

I say add a twist and the person with the least amount lost has to change their avatar to a picture of them in bike pants:o

Well now, theres some motivation.....

You all really wouldnt want that...:fr:

:lol: Julie....you are too funny :)

My intentions were sooo good yesterday, and then my neighbor came over with a bag of goodies she brought back for me from England. DH and I feasted on them while watching Desperate Housewives, but other than that, I am all good to go. I am not going to WI until friday, I think. I am going to try anway.

Thanks for hte good laugh, Joni.
Ok, gotta get back to work. DH took the day off so we could catch up on life, and he went to Home Depot, and here I sit on my computer instead of getting stuff done.........oops. :lol:

May I join also? I started yesterday at 210 and was 207 this morning as well! Yeah.... I know mine is water too, but what the heck, lol! It's a start!

Sure Blue Angel!!!


Okay, I could not weigh because my scale batteries are dead. Wonder who has been weighing? Sure as **** hasn't been me. I will weigh soon, then it is on like Donkey Kong!

Great job to you losers, also!!!

I just wanted to say that I went to LA today and Weighed with all my clothes on and I do not want to use that weight. Since I weighed my self at home to start I am going to use my Naked weight. I like that one better! HA! So I will weigh myself on my scale on Sat. Good luck to all!

Cecil - Naked weight is always best! Its the only one I admit to!

Thanks! I will not weigh again until Monday but I'm being so stinkin good that I'm actually impressing myself, lol! Really though..... this 20 lb challenge is exactly what I needed right now.... I just quit smoking and I'm about to turn 50....... I want to be a much healthier 50 yr old than I am a 49 yr old.... :)

Hey guys! I am in!

We need to make a Facebook Group! Even more motivation! I am on there under Amy Peek Beach. I LOVE facebook. I have MySpace too. Facebook is like a grown up MySpace...
