Ring in the New Year 10lbs Lighter! Who's with me?

What a great way to stay on track throughout the holidays and start losing the weight before the new year rather than putting it off until it's time to make resolutions.

 

I'm looking to lose 10lbs by then. We'll have weigh-ins every Friday. I'll even throw in a little "fitness-friendly" goodie bag for everyone who completes the challenge and sticks to the weigh-in deadlines. Who's with me?

Join now. The first weigh in will be next Friday (Nov. 14, 2008)

Welcome Everyone.  I am looking forward to getting to know you and supporting you as a team member.

 

 

Alrighty, I'm ready =]

Starting Weight: 140.5

I'd be just fine with 134, but 130.5 (or lower) is even better!

Good luck everyone!

Hi Diane

Im in NZ and dont have pounds on my scales either!!! but 1kg = 2.2 pounds. I was 77 kgs same as you in October so I know that its 168 pounds (or close to) And Im 73 kg now which it about 160-161 pounds.

Good luck to reach this goal, I have managed it in 6 weeks so Im sure you'll make it by New Year!!!

Hi all!

Day late for weigh in.  The worst part is I don't even have a good excuse!

I started at the beginning of the month at

157.8 lbs

If I can get down to 150 by Dec 31 at midnight that would be awesome!  I am in  a weight loss challenge with some girls at work and our weigh in is Jan 31. 

My plan is to eat healthier (I just put the rest of my sugar cookie is the garbage as I am typing!), cardio 4-5 days a week with weights 3 days a week.

I too  need to decrease the alcohol.  I drank Vodka/club sodas last night and they werent that bad.

Good luck everyone....thanks for the link to the Shape artilces!

What a great week I had!

was a bit stunned when I jumped on the scales this morning and apparently Ive lost 5 pounds in one week! Actually I think that its probably to do with the fact that this is the first time in ages Ive weighed myself first thing in the morning, before breakfast two glasses of water and a cup of tea, and without my jeans on. So Cool, didnt realise what a difference that makes, I tried then with the jeans on and bang they add a half kilo!!! Well wont do that again.

Anyway back to the stats

Nov 14th : 161 (now Im not sure that was right, was probably actually a few pounds lighter)

Today: 156!

Goal: 151

Oh yeah also Im converting from Kgs so there could be some rounding errors in my conversions, but still Im down 2 kgs!!! YAY

I, too was shocked to stand on the scale this morning. (After last night when I cheated a bit with some high-calorie cocktails!) Looks like I'm finally following through with a non-fad diet and it's working! Everybody keep up the good work! Next week will be a challenge!

 

Start: 177

Current: 174

Goal: 167

I haven't been running in the morning, but I live in a big city, so I think the hustling around has helped. :)
