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)

 

Starting weight (10/15): 112 lbs

Last weeks weight: 105.5 lbs

Today's weight: 106.5 lbs

Up a pound in one week ... Not too happy about that. Hopefully I'll turn this around by next Friday so my "10 lbs before New Years" doesn't turn into 15!

*sigh*

 

Nov. 14: 226
Nov. 21: 225.5
Weight Change for week: -0.5
Total Weight Lost: -0.5
Goal Weight by New Years: 215

Food intake was ok, but need to add more activity.

Hi i would luv to join this challenge and lose 10 pounds.

My current weight is 188

My goal weight is 178

Thanks Yari

I lost 1/2 a kilo this weiek, so that is just over one pound.  That's good, but this week I will step things up a bit.

I had a horrible week this week. I felt like I was constantly cheating and I think I might have only done 2 workouts all week.  My dad got hurt at work, and they didn't think he was going to make it. Luckily all turned out well for him.

GW- 154    Well, at least I lost, even though it wasn't much. I'll get back on track this week.

Is it too late to join? It seems like all the challenges are closed right now but this one seems like it might be still open. I started CC on Nov 17th so I could use that as my start weight. I really like challenges but I've had trouble finding any I can fit into or that are still open!

11/17: 197.8

11/21: 197.0

CW: 195.4

GW: 185 (I think the first few pounds were water weight and I'd like to push myself)

Darn!  Needed to go cross-country for a family funeral.  Spent four days eating the fabulous food that kind folks provided.  End result: gained 1.8 lb.

SW:  137.2

CW:  139.0 (Monday, 11/24

 

Oh me, oh my. I know it's not Friday but I managed to gain all the way up to 110.5 this morning.

Now I have 15.5 lbs to lose before the New Year.

I'm pretty sure that's impossible. Time to adjust my goal? *sigh*

Perhaps I'll just settle on a goal of 100 by 01/01/2009.

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow is "weigh-in" day, so hopefully everyone is able to post their results.  I know for me, even when I go up (which is quite often) it still makes me accountable and helps me stay focused.

Until tomorrow.

Friday again.

Well, no change this week, but am still kinda thrilled to have confirmation that last weeks big drop didnt bounce back!

14th Nov : 161

Today: 156

Goal : 151

Good luck every one! Keep it up!!!

Weigh in for Nov 14th: 174 lbs

GW for Jan 1st: 165 lbs, but I would even be happy at 168 lbs because that would put me at 60 lbs lost this year!

 Nov 20th: 173 lbs

Nov 28th: 170 lbs << I had a great week!

SW: Nov 14  178 lbs

Nov 21:  178 lb

Nov 28:  180 lbs.  (My body must have thought it was to gain not lose!!)

GW: Jan 1, 2009  166 lbs.

Good Morning Everyone,

Diane

Current: 176

Start: 177

Goal: 167

(let's just say that this week is my water weight week, so I retained a couple pounds of water) Hopefully in a couple of days I'll be back to where I was!

WOW good work every one!!!

I met another goal today, to run a whole loop near my house (4.3 Km) Im so excited I thought Id post it!!! to think that when I started running in September I could bearly run 500m!

If anyone hear has been considering starting running but doesnt think they could, I recommend you give it a go! It takes a while but is well worth it

Still not back to SW, but did lose .6 lb. this week...even with Thanksgiving splurge.  Not exactly dancing in the streets, but not too unhappy either.

I have been looking for a challenge that was short term.......I hope I am not too late on this one. Ten pounds by New Years? Sure I can do that!

I will weigh in tomorrow and go from there, I have this event in January that I want to look smokin' for and need to do it NOW!!!!

I do intervals on the treadmill and cycle on the trainer as well as roller skate once a week, it's winter here so the outdoor activities are getting fewer.

I am going to up the ante by saying since I began late I will give up Pepsi until January 23 (geez! did I just type that!!!!)  since I began CC I have noticed that a large portion of my daily calories comes from Pepsi and if I replace that with plain old water I will be able to lose weight quicker.

So, here goes 31 days to New Years!

Okay I weighed in and UGH I gained 3 pounds! I am hoping it is water weight due to Thanksgiving and TTOM approaching.

SW 189

GW for New Years 179

GW for Memorial Day 2009 140

and NO PEPSI in the house! 

Hi, good luck!

Cutting out the pepsi will help you heaps, and trust me after a while you do get used to not having it! :)
