Hello -

Was hoping it might not be too late for me to join? I just found this site today and I am planning on starting the program tomorrow - first time ever - so I thought this would be a great way to start!

Thanks so much!

Tril,

I finally found where I wrote down my 10/29 weight. That was actually 167. I could only remember my Thursday weight when I sent you my stats. Not that it matters much. But since we are weighing in Wednesday, maybe you can update it? (It will make my first week look better ).

LeAnn

[Sarah Armstrong]

Hi Tril

I think my challenge should be revised to 8lbs. My weihgt loss is fairly slow. My sw was 226, current weight 204, goal weight 118-125 holiday goal weight is 196lbs. thanks for doing this hun.

Helen

[Sarah Armstrong]

Gotcha, Helen! That's a more reasonable goal. I also changed you to Spirit for the list. I see Spirit and think Helen so that's what I typed. LOL

Well since I'm out of whack with my weigh ins, I'll make my start weight my last weigh in which was yesterday.

81.1 kgs.

Goal is 70 or under.


** edit **
Since I'm a day ahead, and it's Wednesday here now, my 05th Nov weigh in is 81.0 kgs.

[medshop]

I want in on this

[Sarah Armstrong]

Sure... what's your start weight (today or tomorrow) and goal for the challenge? You'll have 9 weeks since you're starting one week into the challenge. Just let me know and I'll add you to the list!

Tril

[medshop]

well thats whats so dissappointing

I weighed this morning 293 and weighed tonight and i am 5 pounds heavier... how is this possible? Is it water? I have been drinking tons of water all day

well in 9 weeks I hope to to be around 263 or less

I do not know if this is realistic.. the first time I did atkins I lost 35 pounds in my first month but I was younger so I do not know what is realistic anymore

[Sarah Armstrong]

30# (even the first 30#) is a lot to lose in 9 weeks. That's about .48# per DAY, every day, for 63 days. Put that way, does it sound reasonable? Who knows, though... you might just do it! We can always adjust your goal later, when you have a better idea of how your body (and the holiday season) will do.

Tril

[h0ldem]

Well, first week's weight - 197.1 (under protest - I still think that scale's screwy - but I haven't had the chance to replace it yet) so up 1.8 lbs.

That's okay, I'm going after this challenge!!

[Sarah Armstrong]

I'll add you to the challenge, PortoBella~

I love your name! LOL

Tril

[Escamsrasiush]

Tril - Sorry for the delay - bad computer

My start weight was 248 and I weighed on Wed AM @ 245

Thanks so much!

[Sarah Armstrong]

Patty... sorry I missed this post, I've been gone all weekend. I'll update your info on the chart. Well done, btw!!! That's a great loss.

Tril

[Sarah Armstrong]

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?

Tril
