Well, next week is just three months until a new decade. I don't want to be fat, do you? Let's start 2010 on the thinner side of life.
I want to set a reasonable goal of 2 pounds a week. October 1st to December 31 is 13 weeks. Join me in making a goal of losing 26 pounds by New Years Eve!
My start weight was 213 in May 2009 and LW was 182. I am at a standstill. I just can't get motivated. I have stayed the same for over a month.
My goal is 150. But, 156 by 2010 works for me! How about you?
Won't you set a goal and join me in reaching our dreams?

Love this idea! I will join you!
My starting weight was 196lbs and last friday i was 179lbs (friday has been my weigh day so far). My final goal is to be 133lbs, i know i wont be this in time for new year but i'd certainly like to be 26lbs lighter by then! I'll post my weight on the 1st october, which will be my starting weight for this challenge and i'll switch my weigh day to thursdays, which means weighing myself tomorrow eek!
Good luck to you!

I'll give this a whirl! I go in for knee surgery on Monday so exercise will will be at a minimum for a while but I can always count calories!
I'm not used to weighing myself either, I'll have to buy a scale before October 1st!

I needed a plan and this is as good as any. Count me in. I'm new to This forumn.
My starting weight was 255 last year this time. Now I'm 222. My final goal is to be 235 (ish) I would be thrilled to be under 200 by the New Year.

This sounds great! I'll log in my weight on Oct 1st as well so I will have a relative starting point. I'm currently down 5 lbs for the past 3 weeks, which is amazing for me!
Sept 2nd I started at 220, and am down to 215. If I were to complete this goal I could be down to 184 by new years... which is still something I'd be really excited for. My overall goal is to be back down to 145-150 lbs by my anniversary next year (Aug 1st)... So are we going to do weekly weigh-ins or what? I currently weigh myself weekly on Wednesdays, but whatever works!
Starting Oct. 1st, IT'S ON! IT'S SOOO ON!

I'll try joining this challenge. will it be a closed group or an open group, just wondering? I'm 5ft and 3/4. A proud shorty :) i weigh 163 now, my highest was during end of junior beginning of senior year at HS at 190 in '07. I got down to 160 end of last year and maintained that till April. Then i shot up to 175 in like two months because i went to another country and my host mother thought it was rude to leave food on the plate she would make these meals that were meant for 5 even though there were only three of us (three volunteers, cause she didn't eat with us) who normally don't eat that much. It was awful. Good food but just felt sick all the time, but oh well great experience. Anyway, I just started university this august and would love to lose 26lbs by 2010. I was in another group before but it got really big and i didn't really connect with anyone, this was probably my fault cause i got so stressed with applying to schools. but now im back on CC so time to start again.
CW 9/23:163
SW: Oct1st (?)
GW by 12/31: 137
Overall GW for a healthy BMI: 125
GOOD LUCK ALL!!

I am turning 41 in 3 days and currently weigh 190. I am 5'3" and my entire life I have averaged 135 pounds.
While unemployed in 2005 I shot up to 150 pounds. I started a new job (which I hated) and within two years I gained another 40 pounds!
I have been at this 190 pound weight ever since and despite working out regularly, I haven't lost anything.
I have finally realized I need to start watching my calorie intake, something I NEVER had to do before.
According to this site I need to limit my calorie intake to 1,600 calories.
At the moment I can ride a bike and do limited strength training. Unfortunately, not enough to make any difference until my ACL is replaced on Monday 9/28.
How often should we weigh in? Are we going to post pictures...like in Shape Magazine? Just a thought.
Good luck everyone!

I'm very interested...and excited! We are starting a biggest loser contest at work next week, but I'd love to have incite, encouragement, and sharing that an on-line group can offer.
I am now at 213 according to my scale about 2 minutes ago, although I sort of doubt it.... Was 220 just a couple weeks ago. I can't wait to finally be back under 200, and that will be a great way to start the new year.

I am so excited. Thanks everybody!!! This is the motivation I know that I need. I hope it will be the same for you. On October 1 or sometime near that date post your current weight and we will go from there. This will be a great thread for all of us to brag on our successes and get motivation from each other during times in which we struggle.
Here is to US........ and to looking better and feeling better in 2010!!!!

Great idea!
So, 26 pounds from Oct 1 to Dec 31.... My Current weight is 179.3, but hopefully by Oct 1 I'll be around 178. So my currently goal is 152 lbs. Wow, amazing to think I might be in the 50s by Christmas

Count me in! My current weight is 205 and my ultimate goal in 156. My starting weight was 250 LBS on June 1 and this challenge will help me stay on track. So with 26 LBS to loose by 12/31 would put me at 179. Sounds great.

Hi all! This sounds like a great goal and everyone who has posted so far seems really enthusiastic about keeping with their goals! So I'm game!
SW: 255
CW: 242
Losing 26lbs by New Year's Eve would put me at 216! That would be the lowest weight I've been since college 5 years ago!
Good luck to everyone!

I'm in! I'm new to CC as of Tuesday but have found it to be a big help already! I've never calorie counted before and it's amazing how I won't eat something because I know I'll be held accountable for it later. :)
Current Weight: 210 (as of this morning)
Goal Weight: 150
Goal Weight for New Years: 184
This seems totally doable. An overall weight loss of 60lbs seems unreachable but when you break it up into smaller goals, I CAN DO IT!
See you all October 1st! :)

lwarecki-
Don't think it is impossible. I started on CC on May 4 and lost 30 pounds at a rate of about 2 pounds a week. Almost half. It feels soooooo great. So, let's do this together. I need your help and I can help you. YOU CAN DO IT.
Count me in too. I started at 210 on 13 August. I'm 192 now. A goal of 166 by New Year sounds great! I'll be 44 in March so this will be a great help with my goal of 150 by my birthday.
Good luck everyone!
Oh this sounds good! Can I join? I'm new as of tonight! This seems like a totally doable goal and I love the fact I have support.
Ok well my starting weight is about 225, so if I lose 26lbs I would be right at 200 or a couple pounds under by Dec 31st!
Whoo Hoo! I'm totally in!
200 pound on New Years Eve is a great goal. Just a couple more days and we are on our way. Good luck.
I would like to join. My cw is 192 so that would put me at 166. My final goal weight is 132, but 60 lbs is such a daunting amount that I think it would help to break it up a little bit. I was thinking if I do lose the the 26 lbs I am going to reward myself ( and not with food). I'm going to buy a nice sexy dress and take my hubby out on a date. It would be great to feel pretty, because who feels pretty when they are pudgy? Sorry for the rant... but I'm in.
Thank you for joining in. Treating yourself to a "date night" would be a wonderful reward. I might just do the same!
Hi everyone -- I'd like to join too. I just began counting calories yesterday -- weight is 199. Setting my goal at 173 by Jan. 1st, 2010, sounds great! We can do it!!!
I love the idea of looking great for a "date night". New Year's Eve will be my husband and my 4th wedding anniversary. So it will be so wonderful to be looking good (or at least much better) than I do now!
I've been DVR'ing all the episodes of The Biggest Loser for the last week or two. Watching one a night seems to be giving me the best motivation for not snacking once I've eaten all I've allotted myself for the day. And gives me motivation to push myself in exercising.
I will join in also...I need some extra motivation. And I think I can do that.
My starting weight now is 195 so 26 pounds lighter will make me 169. I think I can do that. I'm goal weight is 130. So if I can do that then I will be almost half way there by the new year!! that will be awesome.
I have been having a hard time lately with the weight loss but i think this is what I need to really kick it into gear
I don’t know what’s wrong with this page, I don’t see my original post. Well here are my numbers for the week.
LW 182
CW 179
I don’t think my weight was right last week. But whatever I’m ecstatic about being in the 70”s.
Yeah I was just checking back since I started this past thursday and my posts are gone as well :( bummed.
What on earth has happened to our forum??? anyways, good week for me, lost another 2lbs :)
Beginning starting weight: 196
Starting weight for this challenge: 176
Weight last week: 173
Weight this week: 171
Lost 5lbs so far for this challenge :) wanted to lose 15lbs for the challenge so 10 more to go, or perhaps a few more!!!
Hope everyone else has had a good week! I had a bad week emotionally with one of my housemates developing an eating disorder and her mum on the phone crying... not good and very stressful since i'm not even friends with this particular housemate! Ho hum.
Take care,
Tasha xx
Hi there, can I still join in this group's challenge?!
It's Nov 1st today and I weighed in at 177lbs.
With less than 9 weeks to go until 2010 I really need to give things a final push!
I would like to get to 160lbs, which means a loss of about 2lbs per week from now
Nov 1st: 177
Dec 1st: goal 168
Jan 1st: goal 160
Pink- No, it's never too late. A suggestion.... I also started this thread in the section called "Intoduce Yourself" of the group "Want to lose 51-100 pounds." It seems to have taken off. There are lots of great people participating on that thread and lots of great encouragement.
