I am in too!! I need to lose the 20 I have gained this summer plus another 10 to reach goal!

Can I join?
I want to lose about 20.

A little about me: I am 34. I live on Long Island.
I am married and dont have children yet. i have been on so many diets I cant count any more. i like the idea of WW because I dont have to eliminate any foods. I enjoy cross stitch , reading and crocheting blankets. I also enjoy cooking.

Nice to meet you all!

hi stacey, cara and. angelica.. welcome! go get em! i wanna be at goal or really close by then

Since this is a Christmas challenge thread lets talk about Christmas..

Who is ready?

Have you started shopping to avoid the rush?

Do you have a favorite Christmas recipe for the special day?

My favorite is my pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting!
I will post it in the recipe section today!
I modifyed it with splenda.

that sounds interesting cara.... i love xmas!! my fav holiday! my fav recipe? moms lasagna anfd brownies for dessert!
heya jj wtg on the 3! go girl!!!!

Can I join too??? I have made it may challenge to lose 30lbs by Christmas so joining other like minded people would be great!!!

A little about me: My name is Lori. I live in Iowa on the eastern side right by Illinois. I am married ( we just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on August 10th) and we have 3 daughthers, Emily 7, Madelyn 3, & Abigail 1.

As far as Christmas shopping goes... I will admit that I have already started shopping. I have Christmas shopped early every year starting in 1998. My oldest daughter was due on Christmas Day '98 and I did not want to be about 9 months pregnant trying to Christmas shop so ever since then I have shopped early. I also am doing some Christmas crafts.. I am crocheting a afghan for my parents that have a sun flower in each block and I need 48 blocks so far I have made 3.
I have also set it as a mini goal this week to drink 8, 8oz glasses of water since I am not so good about getting in my water...

Welcome ckthegreat, Stacey, Angelica, Kathy and Lori!! JJ, congrats on your weight loss. YAY! Love all this talk about Christmas. I would love to be able to get all of my Christmas shoppping done by Dec. 1st so that we could just enjoy doing Christmas activities at home during Dec. It never seems to happen though. Two of my kids have birthdays during the holiday season...Nov. 25 and Dec. 10......makes for a very busy time.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!

I'm a little tentative to post a goal for Christmas at this point. I have started WW so many times on my own and failed. This time I'm on track for over a week so this is better than any time in the recent past. I feel so much better already eating right and getting my water in.

I'm going to join and give myself a goal of 20 lbs by Christmas - How do I get the S/C/G in my title/avatar so I can keep track?????

I lose weight very slowly, which in the long run is good so I just have to keep that in mind.

Welcome Rosegarden! You can do it!! Use all of us here for support. To put the S/C/G in your avatar click on "user cp" and then "edit profile". To make a ticker click on "user cp" and then "edit signature". We're all rootin' for ya!

Well today I am 34. I dont feel 34. I feel like I did when I was 16.
