Merry Christmas Ladies!

I haven't been going on here updating but for good reasons and I have still been doing the challenge.

First....I MADE MY CHALLENGE GOAL AND SURPASSED IT BY 1 LB! lol 134.0, I can't believe I lost 15lbs over the holidays! and 2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my hips.

2nd...We are moving in 2 weeks to be closer to our jobs so we've been busy preparing and saving.

3rd...I'M ENGAGED! He proposed 2 nights ago, since we were going to my mom's for christmas eve and his family christmas day, he wanted everyone to see my ring and celebrate. When he got down on one knee, i started sobbing lol. My ring is georgous! Exactly what I wanted, he took my sister shopping for it and was there 6 hours trying to pick out the perfect diamond So I'm really excited for the next challenge cuz I have a wedding to plan and get skinny for! We are thinking September 2012. If the church is available, but we want next year so I will keep everyone updated!

Congrats to everyone for doing this challenge and God Bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS! can't wait to see you all in the next challenge.

185.5 this morning. With pjs so I'll call that goal!

jdonato~ Congratulations on your engagement!

Ok So I managed to gain over my challenge. I kinda got lost getting settled into the new place and have been exhausted. Haven't eaten a lot of lean meals and of course, I did some Christmas baking. No idea how many pounds I gained as I am really bloated right now but I'll update my ticker soon after I find out what sticks and what is water retention.

Now that I think things with the move are settled, I am looking forward to Monday and starting a new routine just in time for the New Year!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone!
I made this challenge on the dot--4lbs! Yay!
I've been gone from home so I didn't get to weigh until I went home for Christmas dinner.
Can't wait til the next challenge starts--and I'm now officially 10lbs away from my original goal. Woohoo!

Jdonato--CONGRATS! We'll be looking forward to seeing pictures of you in your dress. Now that's a special challenge to work towards!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Well I weighed in this morning and I am down to 268 so that means I have lost 12 pounds since I started this challenge. I passed my goal weight for this challenge yay

SW-280
GW-270
CW- 268

Since I have started my weight lost journey I have lost a total of 16 pounds(284-sw; 268cw)

My NEW YEAR goals.... maintain a more consistent exercise schedule such as going to my local gym, 24, and signing up for different exercise classes. Trying to do cardio, strength, and even more flexibility. Also, I want to get a low-calorie diet... Any suggestions? Also, wanting to switch from calorie loaded cocktails on weekends to one drink on the weekend of a low-calorie spirit such as voli light or skinny drink. Wish me luck! And Happy New Years everybody!

My final weigh in was 155.5, which was 0.5 pound above my goal of 155. But I’m still considering it a success Way to go everyone who made goal, got close or completed the challenge.
I hope everyone had a wonderful, guilt-free Christmas! Happy New Year to everyone!

Jdonato: Congratulations!! Now you have even more motivation to keep losing for the wedding Keep us all updated, and I look forward to seeing your dress pictures too!

Awesome work everyone!!
Jdonato: Congratulations!!!

So what is the next challenge??

I was able to get back to 151 and surpassed it with 150!! I also was able to continue the running program, which I'm almost finished with!
Until the next challenge, I'm planning on eating well and continuing to exercise!
Later chickies!

Happy New Year, ladies!!

Great work, everyone and a big congrats to JD!!

I haven't weighed since December 23rd (when I made my 169 goal), but I really went off the deep end since then...but it was a wonderful goodie-filled, craving-satisfying week off. I won't even begin to name all the sinful things I indulged in. I guess it's too early to call whether or not it was "worth it", (I'm not weighing in again until Friday), but I sure had a good time. Slowly transitioning back to more normal eating today and tomorrow until I go back to work on Tuesday, then it's 100% back in the saddle. Just hoping the damage isn't *too* bad!

So what do you guys think for the next challenge? Valentine's Day?

I'm ready for another challenge, since like you Northern, I've been enjoying myself very much. But, I'm ready to get back to normal! As far as when to end the next challenge, it really doesn't matter to me.
Later guys!

I also ended up indulging during the holidays and it was fun But I’m back on plan now and ready to for the next challenge Valentine’s day sounds good to me!
