Atkins Holiday Challenge Week ONE - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Sarah Armstrong** · 10-28-2008, 11:07 PM

Here we go everybody! Tomorrow we begin the Holiday Challenge in the hopes of making THIS season one of improved health and (if we do this right) weight loss.

Here are the people I have so far, and some of the goals for this challenge:

Name - goal - (Start WT, Goal WT)

Bagadonitz - lose 23.6#
BlueLady - lose 10#
Helen - lose 18#
Karenjs
LeAnn
LoserLady - lose 10#
Maryanne
Matt1304
mmebc - lose 16# (139, 123)
mmorlock - lose 12#
Nik@Night
QueenJesh - lose 12kg
sableshay - lose 17#
tonik999 - lose 3+#
Tril - lose 5# (130.5, 125.5)

If anyone decides to not do the challenge, just let me know and I'll remove you from the list.

I still need the missing goals and I will need everyone's weight (if weight is part of your goal) tomorrow. Feel free to post a Tuesday or Thursday weight if life gets in the way... no pressure here, just some friendly public accountability.

Also, if at any time you decide to NOT weigh in one week (or more) just let me know. That decision is entirely up to you... we must all find what works best when self motivating.

Each week I will start a new thread for everyone to report their weigh in on. Once I hear from everyone (or within a day or two) I will post the results and announce that week's biggest loser. Feel free to discuss the challenge... including the week's issues, special challenges, NSV, etc. in the thread.

Looking forward to getting your goals and your starting weight tomorrow! I will be gone overnight but will post the new starting chart on Thursday night after I get home.

So...

What is your goal? What is your starting weight for this challenge?

Assuming we are going till January 1, here is my goal.

May goal is to weigh 295 lbs. I'm currently 322.6 for a total loss goal of 27.6 lbs.

**Rx-Ultram** · 10-29-2008, 10:45 AM

I didn't realize there was 9 weeks. I thought it was 8. I adjusted my goal could you please update me in the tally!

Thanks.

**h0ldem** · 10-29-2008, 11:07 AM

Okay, start weight as of today - 195.3 lb

Believe it or not, I'm a little nervous, but I'm glad we've got this going on; I think remembering I've got a weekly goal to enter focuses me more. Thanks again, Tril!

**prpaims** · 10-29-2008, 12:16 PM

10/29: 138.5

**abOfU9nJ** · 10-29-2008, 01:02 PM

201.4 now 190 goal

**Koayrbzh** · 10-29-2008, 01:10 PM

current 227 goal 210

**Usendyduexy** · 10-29-2008, 01:16 PM

My start weight is 206.

Good luck everybody!!

**Serereids** · 10-29-2008, 02:23 PM

start weight 139
By December 5th (my 25th Birthday!) 127
January 1st 122

**Grizli** · 10-29-2008, 07:00 PM

Start Weight: 232

Goal: #20

End Weight: 212

**fedordzen** · 10-29-2008, 07:08 PM

Starting weight: 161.5
Goal: -16.5 pounds
Goal weight: 145 by New Years Day

That's an ambitious goal for me, but it would put me at my goal weight by New Years Day. It would be slightly less than 2 lbs per week. I really think I can do that if I put my mind to it.

Good luck everyone!

My goal is a pair of size ten jeans. I'm starting at a size 13
