30 lbs by January 1st, 2008---***CLOSED***

Hello all,

I have been looking through the forums and all the cool 'loose by this date' posts are closed so I wanted to start a new one. According to the site this is a healthy goal if starting throughout the month of September. So your first post should be your current height, weight, bmi and goal weight.

Check in to post sucess, frustration and whatever else you need to talk about to keep you on track.

I'll start

Good Morning Guys,

All i can say is WOW! I new I would get a response or two but 27 in two days is awesome. I am really excited about loosing this weight with you guys. Like many of you i have been through this before but I needed others going through the same thing to keep on track.

I have read all the new posts and there seems to be some discouragement due to the fact that the final stretch of this challenge runs into a dieters "FAVORITE" time of the year. I personally think the timimng is perfect because when else are you going to need help and encouragement more to stay on track and watch what you eat???? When we get closer to the holidays lets all make a point to talk more about great holiday choices that won't throw two months of hard work and discipline out the window. Just think of how proud of yourself you will be to 'stick to it' when the 'holliday food fest' is over.

I know I'm disgustingly optimistic, sorry. ;P

I also wanted to know what you guys thought of weigh ins. I read somewhere that you should try to stay away from the scale for two weeks at a time. The fluctuations can be discouraging and harmful to your routine. The best gauge really is how "those jeans' fit. You know the ones I am talking about. So lets say we will have weigh ins every 1st and third wednesday of the month. Making our first the 19th of this month.

Have a great day and remember to make great choices.

Great challenge!  I think that the timing is great, it will be wonderful to have some extra support when Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around.

I'll give it a try...this is my first time trying to lose weight...before kids never had a problem...two kids later and I want to lose another 15-25 lbs. to ultimately get to pre-married weight:

HHHHHOOOO RAAAAAAAAAAH  WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy to be taking part in this challenging but do-able challenge! I think that the timing is great; just enough time to get "with the program" in time for the upcoming holidays. A few years ago I lost 100 lbs (kept my weight stable for almost 2 years but unfortunately gained half of it back this year). I want to look and feel how I felt then!

hey y'all

I lost the first 30ish of my "work stress" weight and i'm ready to tackle the last 30!

age: 20s
height: 5'3
CW: 130ish
GW: 105ish (my college graduation weight...)

hopefully this is doable -- I'm running a half marathon between now and jan 1 and staying healthy through that process is more important than a few notches on the scale.

Been dieting since March 17th (my high weight)

 

Start weight: 163 lbs

Current weight:  154 lbs

Goal weight:  128 lbs  (total loss of 35 lbs, 26 to go)

Height:  5'6"

Age:  33 

BMI:  24.9

I've been stuck for months now.  Joined a boot camp, we'll see how that goes.  Good luck all!

Bigloser32 I am so glad you got this started.  I am psyched about the weigh ins.  So we will all be posting our stats again on the 19th?  From going through the posts it looks like there are quite a few people with similar stats and/or goals.  That is too cool in helping us stay motivated!  

 I agree that it will be extra helpful having our group during the holidays and even Halloween.   

 I look forward to posting on the 19th.....hopefully I will have some different stats to share.

Everyone have a great night and keep your eye on the prize (your favorite skinny jeans!)

 

I'm in!
