The New Early 20s wanting to lose 15-20 pounds by X-MAS Group!

Hey Everybody!

Come join the original 4 members in a challenge to Lose 15-20 pounds by Christmas! Group will close on 10/3/2008, but will be open to the first 10 new members who would like to join :)

WEIGH INS WILL TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAYS :)

i would like to join!  lets try to keep the group relatively small though...makes for getting to know people.

and i'm aiming for hopefully more like, 25 pounds...if thats cool :)

Sounds good! We want to keep it small as well, so i think 14 is a pretty good number to start with. From my expirience some tend to quit posting after a couple times.

Welcome to the group :)

New thread- excellent.

Thanks Paige.

Any word on the possible marriage/move thing?

Hi I would love to join your group.  I'm 22 and I just graduated so needless to say, I've put on some weight due to my taking my last summer before heading into the real world without diet and not as much exercise.

I'm in!  I'm 20, 5'4" and currently 156.  I'd love to get to 140 by christmas.  I like the idea of keeping it small too!  First weight in tomorrow?...oh yeah.  should probably mention that I'm currently studying abroad in Australia, so my weigh in times might be a little earlier  (cause it'll already be Friday morning here when it's Thursday afternoon/evening in the US).  Gotta love time differences.

I'd like to join, I just turned 24 on Monday, I'm 5' 1.5" and currently weigh around 162. Losing 20 lbs by xmas would be great :) (I started around 176 in July)

I'd like to join!!

I'm 22 (turning 23 on Nov 7) 5'7' and 165 lbs. (I just weighed in this morning).

I would love to loose my last 15lbs and get to my goal weight for Christmas!

heyyy found the new thread.  Just to update new members i'm 22, 5'2'', and in July when I started CC I was about 125, last week I was 115.

I want to join!!! This was my goal and I just happened to stumble upon this forum!  My plan is to lose 10 pounds in the month of October, 5 pounds in Nov, and 5 pounds up until the 20th of Dec.  I will be happy with a 15 lbs loss as well!

I am 5'6, currently 176.4!

Good luck everybody and I can't wait to hear about everyones progress!

Hey I would love to join!! I am hoping to lose 20 pounds by Christmas too!  I like the small group idea too. :D

 Yea, it looks like its not gonna happen anytime soon. Bryan withdrew his name, because he realized it just wasn't a good time right now. Which I'm relieved about, because I like my plan of a 1 year engagement a lot better than planning a wedding in 4 months :)

Update for new members!

Name : Paige

CW: 135

GW:120

HW:140

Lauren: I agree we definitely need to come up with little competitions! I need something more to keep me motivated than just the weigh ins :)

What have you guys eaten so far?

I only ask because I've had a weird food day.

breakfast: smoothie- banana, strawberries, Advantedge protein

lunch: smoothie- banana, peanut butter, Advantage powder

snack: strawberries, 1/2 pita

I started this group originally with 25 pounds to lose. =) I've lost 12 thus far, it's great. So now I'm more on track with the 15, but I'll definitely support ya!

Have you guys decided on a date yet? or What time of year you wanna have it?

I really want a winter wedding. I always thought it would be really amazing to have my wedding on New Years Eve and at the Reception do the countdown and all that :) Also, it so much cheaper to get married then since it the "off wedding season"
