Is it too early for one?

Well ladies we have nearly 17 weeks till christmas and I think now is a great time to set a goal for then.

I personally want to lose 20 lbs by Christmas day. I CAN DO IT!!!!:

Anyone else anyone else up for losing about a pound and a half a week from now till christmas day?

Come on ladies and join in to give and get some motivation.

I'm going to post daily what I ate and any exercise I do, to keep myself accountable.

I am in. I am going to try for 30. I have two vacations, and of course there is Thanksgiving, between now and then. It may be a bumpy road ahead but I am determined to make it!

I am TOTALLY in!

My Christmas goal is to be below 175, which would be about a 20-25lb loss.

WOO HOO!

YAY!!!
I'm so excited that you guys decided to join in.
Maybe I'll end up losing more than 30, who knows.
I hope more ladies come on over for this challeng.
I'll be back here later tonight to post what I ate and did for the day.

K

Breakfast: 1/2 banana
Snack: 1 cup grapes
Lunch:1 slice cheese
Dinner: 1 Marie Callendars chicken pot pie & pastaroni
Dessert: 1 cookies n cream candy bar.

Exercise: About 20 mins of pilates lower body

Ok today was bad, I didn't eat near enough in the beginning of they day, there was some issues that popped up and had me so stressed I couldn't eat.
Then I guess I ate a very hight cal dinner.
Definatly could have done without the candy bar.

Tomorrow will be better. 'm going towash my hands of the girl giving me all the drama and stress, then I'm going to concentrate on me.

I hope all you ladies had a great day!!!
Looking forward to hearing from ya all tomorrow.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE

I know we will all reach our Christmas goal if we're here motivating and uplifting eachother.

Oh and guess what....
Look down.
I LOST ANOTHER POUND!!!!
Feels so good to update the ticker, lol

Shy - good attitude about taking the new day as a NEW day and leaving previous choices behind. And WOOHOO on losing another pound!

Dream - how excited are you for the 170s? Heck, I'm just excited about the 190s! :P

Utah - great goal!


As for me - I started Couch to 5K on Monday... OMG. I was SO sore yesterday; this morning I went out and sort of did what I was supposed to. I've been joking with my boyfriend that this is Week 0.5, and I'll do Week 1 next week. I'm still getting over the tailend of a cold, which is making my asthma flare up... that combined with being sore... ugh.

I am in!! I really want to see 150 for Christmas, so 17.6 pounds!

I haven't really lost much for the past 10 months or so... since about last chirstmas, I keep losing and gaining the same bit over and over - but I started a new blog so hopefully that will help me - so far it is, but its only been a week! lol

parcticingliving: CONGATS ON THE SORE MUSCLES, that means the fat is pissed, lol.

Welcome Sotypical, you'll lose thos 17 lbs and then some.

I'll be reporting back here at the end of the day, to let ya all know how my day went.

Shy - I like that way of thinking about it, especially if the fat gets mad enough to leave me. Heheh.

SoTypical - Welcome, and great goal! I live in BC too - I'm in Vancouver.

Well...

today was also kind of crapy, I thought all the negative stuff was done with yesterday but it seemed to creep its way in again today. I did do better today then yesterday though.

Breakfast: 1'2 bag of sunflower seeds, darn my love for salt.
Lunch: Watermelon and a corn dog
Snack: about 4 animal cookie
Dinner: havn't had it yet, I'm feeling guilty about that corn dog and cookies so I must just have some steamed veggies, but who knows what I could end up eating between now and bedtime.

Oh and I was pertty nice to my fat today (no exercise)
I should really piss it off tomorrow.

So where is everyone elses confession of the day? lol

Practiceliving, just wondering what couch to 5k is, I've seen others posting about it. I've started jogging and could use a plan to follow.

Welcome sotypical and Utahgirl, good luck with your goals.

Hey dream - it's a program online to teach people to run 5K or for 20mins straight. If you google "couch to 5K" one of the first results will be from Cool Runnings, and that's what I'm using. It's helping a ton, and there's even great podcasts you can get off iTunes that take you through each session so you don't have to watch the clock.

Well I was hoping to continue DOWN the scales with weigh-in this morning, but somehow in 48hours I've gained a pound. WTH is that, body?! Sheesh.
