Welcome to the Single LC'ers New Years Eve Challenge!!!
This challenge will run from November 28th - December 31st (11:59pm).

Essentially, you set your overall goal, and then work on mini-weekly goals as well to get to your main goal. We'll check in at least every Friday (and Wednesday the 31st for the final check in) - but feel free to check in as often as you would like. If there's anything we all learned from the first challenge, it's to make sure that you're realistic with your goals, and that even if you don't reach your overall goal, you've definitely worked hard to better yourself.

Good luck everyone...and I wish you all luck!

(Make sure to include your beginning weight and/or inches - whichever you're hoping to focus on - so that we can see the progress over time.)

Ok - my weight is fluctuating a little right now, so I'll wait until after Thanksgiving to get my final weight (it's fluctuating between 229 and 227 right now) - But, I know the goal I want to reach:

I want to be 215 by New Years (that's approximately a loss of 14 - 12 lbs. (with my fluctuation) - I think if I stick with it, I can do it.) It might be hard this time, because I'm going to be out of town for about 10 days around Christmas (don't worry - I'll still have internet connection - hee hee) - my father's a little annoyed with my diet eating patterns, so it's hard to appease him and focus 100% on my diet - but I'm going to try. 215 is the lowest I've been in 7 years - so I would really love to reach that goal before the New Year. *fingers crossed*

I'll join this as well, can never have too much support/motivation!
I weighed in at 202 this AM. And my goals should be listed on my signature.....here's to good health!

Sybs - Welcome to the Challenge!!! Looks like you and I are both looking to lose about 12 lbs. We can do it girly!!! I'm so happy that you joined.

I'll join up too!
Not going to be too optimistic - going to aim for 195 by NYE - especially since I'm going to South Africa on holiday for the three weeks leading up to it! (can't wait...)
As such my weigh-in's gonna be late! But I'm sure you'll forgive me for that......

YAAAAY Sinbad!!!!! Wooo hooo - I'm so happy you're joining up!!! hee hee - and YAY to ONERLAND...I've been so busy sweetie, that I didn't even see when it happened. *sigh* - I'm such a dork.

When are you leaving for SA?

Flying out on 13 December, back on 2 January.
I'm not sure about the onederland thing any more - I seem to have bloated up a bit :P BUT I SAW 199 SO I'M KEEPING IT!!!!!

Yeah, I'll try again. I think I'll be a bit more modest tho--say 207?

I'm in too. I would like to start the New Year UNDER 180 pounds. I can't recall when I last weighed that little. I remember telling people I did, when I KNOW I weighed more... LOL.

: )

*Happy Holidays*

I always gain 3-5lbs during the holidays so my goal this holiday season is to lose 3-5lbs. I weigh about 154 right now, so this challenge is exactly what I need so I won't pig out tomorrow!!

Hi Everyone - You know I'm in for this one too!!!
I'm doing my final weigh in for the T-Day challenge in the morning so I'll update my stats and set my NY Eve goal and my first weeks mini goal then.
I'm hoping doing this challenge until NYE will keep me on track over Christmas.

Soon 215 is a great goal. You go girl!!!!

Sinbad Can I go to South Africa with you?

Cheers,
Gypsy

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

As I posted on the Thanksgiving Day thread I ended that challenge at 196 as of this morning. And I am so excited to have reached ONEderland!!!!
Soooooo this will be a 5 week challenge right? I'm going to go for 188 on this one and pray for the best during the holidays.

Long term goal 188 - loss of 8 lbs.
Steady loss of inches
And exercise will by my mini goal focus.
Week one's mini goalSaturday and Sunday - TaeBo
Wednesday and Thursday - Curves

Cheers,
Gypsy

Ok, I'm starting out at 186. Ultimately I would love to weigh less than 180 for the new Year, so I would need to loose 7 pounds, which is a little bit more than the rate I'm going at right now. I don't have a lot of holiday stuff to go to, so there isn't as much temptation to cheat... only night that will be really hard is Christmas Eve at my Aunt's house. (that traditional Mac and cheese bake... homemade with 4 kinds of cheese... and...well... yum....) But I will be strong.

Count me in too. My goal for the challenge is 215 by New Years. I am starting out ~ 225 here. Oh yeah, and work out more (same old song and dance with me eh ?).
