I want to kick the New Year off right!!! I'd love to be down to 175 before the New Year.

Any body game?

6 Weeks till New Years Day!

Thats about 2.5 pounds each week - doable?

I'm game! Let's do it! I'm tired of having that always be my goal.

I'm trying to get under 200 by New Year's so 15 lbs would do it. I'm in!

Count me in! My stats are as follows:
Current Weight:191
Goal Weight: 150
Height: 5'10
I am currently eating anywhere between 1200-1300 calories a day faithfully, and exercising every now and then. I've been doing some walking, but plan to start a more regular routine. My weigh in days are Sundays. 15 pounds by January is definitely doable! We just have to keep each other motivated...

I'm game!!

I want to be at 175 (or lower) by January 1st too - actually by December 10th and then I want to KEEP it at or below 175 until January 1st... See how optimistic I am about getting to 175 and keeping it there? Despite being good and chugging along all year? There are just TONS of obstacles between now and then - Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, a couple parties and New Year's eve (following Jan 1st there is Orthodox Christmas Eve and Christmas and my husband's birthday Jan 6th and 7th).

So... I want to get to 175 or lower by January 1st - just 1.4 pounds!!! That's all I want!!!

I'm in! Let's keep each other motivated and we WILL able to do it!

I only have 12 lbs to go but I'm in. I want to be at goal for New Years.

I've been losing incredibly slowly the whole way because I'm not as strict as I could be about my calorie intake, but my New Year's goal is 174lbs, so I'll keep my eye on the prize!

CW: 188.5lbs
GW: 174lbs

I definately want to be under 175 for new years too, i weighed in yesterday at 181.4

I am in! Can't wait to get to 100s. Current weight 202 lbs

I'm in. OMG, I suck right now and I have to do something drastic right now or I'm in deep trouble. On Wednesday morning (the 16th) I weighed 142.6, today, after 4 days of pretty much non-stop eating I am at 153. I think that is the highest I have ever gotten since I started maintaince.

Probably the first 5ish will come off quickly, (if I stick to it) so that might not be fair in this challenge, but the next 5 will be harder, and the last five which will put me just under the 140's to 138 will be nearly impossible for me. I've tried for months to get back to 138 and always give up.

I feel awful, bloated, gassy, and have PMS from h#ll. I feel like I can't breath and my fingers feel like giant sausages. My body feels like a furnance and I'm buring up, were I'm usually cold.

On Tuesday I was feeling all skinny and I bought a new skirt for church today, (and Thanksgiving), and it probably won't even zip up. Oh how I suck today.

I'm in too.

I gained 10.2 lbs in 10 days from being sick and on meds and having to eat carbs to tolerate the meds. I got to 209 as a high and in 3 days back on plan, I was down to 203.8 this morning.

I want to lose the 5 lbs to get back to my current low of 198.8 and then I'd love to lose another 10 beyond that by the end of the year. Although I'll be ecstatic if I can get to 191 as that is both my third 10% goal plus it puts me into the overweight BMI category.

I've got a couple of super stressful days coming up but after that, I should be able to get back to daily workouts to try to make sure I do my best to try to meet this goal by the end of the year!

im in.. i havent been able to get motivated to do anything.. so im currently 185-190 last time i weighed myself. i weigh myself once a week on mondays when i go to my friends im hoping to loose at least 10 lbs HOPEFULLY 15 by the time new years comes around.. im gonna start doing portions and look at calorie intake my biggest weekeness is rolls and cookies 0.o uh oh lol but i can do it WE ALL CAN DO IT

we can do it, what happened in the past is in the past.

We are all here to make a fresh go of it! I definitely struggle with cookies and binged yesterday afternoon after being exhausted from writing a paper. However, when I went out last night I felt horrible about my body.

I want to feel good when I dance. I want to feel like me. This is for us!

One day at a time, one meal at a time, one bit at a time.

Post whenever but we can all get through this! In the long term these next few weeks will help us overall become happier people.
