Default New Year's Day Challenge!!

Hi all,

I've been checking out the challenge posts and thought that it might be a good idea to make a New Year's Day Challenge. It would be a start of a new year and of new beginnings. If we were to start tomorrow we would have 15 weeks plus a few days. I think that if I set a goal of 2 lbs a week I could be down 30 lbs. A 30 lb loss sounds pretty good to me.

Anyone with me??

I am also on the Christmas Present to Self, but I love the thought of setting a New Year Goal! It will give me two goals to work toward and I love that! I weigh 196 right now, so I have to weigh 166 by New Years! Two pounds more to lose than the Christmas Present!

I'm in! I'm 195 right now, so that would put me at 165.

Hi all. I would love to join this challenge. I am at a nearly three week stall, so I am not aiming for any more then 15 pounds by New Years, because I'm not sure when and if I will ever break this darn stall.

Count me in though. My official weigh in as of yesturday is: 158.

140 or a bit below would be excellent to reach in 15 weeks.

Hi Ladies.
Count me in.
I don't expect my body to work with me regarding weight loss.. but I want to see at least a 20 pound loss by then. Would love to make it more.. but I want to achieve and pass my expectations. We are past the middle of September as it is. UGH! So I guess I would like to see 175 by New Years Day. Ugh.. that sounds to scary. Would LOVE that.. but 180 seems more realistic.. well.. ahh.. I am Jumping in with that!!

Hi everyone! I'd love in on this. I've been looking for a way to re-motivate myself, as I've slipped up a lot lately. I'm also going to go for a 25lb loss by New Years Day. Right now I'm 175 so that would put me to 150, which is at least closer to my goal.

Hello,
Count me in. I've restarted as of Sept 15. I'm at 225 right now and would really like to see the ever elusive 199 by New Years. I tend to lose s l o w l y . . .but I think 26lbs is doable.

Would love to join, my goal is to lose just 20 pounds till then. My current weight is 144, so I'm giving myself some extra days incase I cheat(hoping I don't).

Good luck to all.

Okay, I joined in on this challenge a few days ago but tomorrow (Sunday) is my official start day. I'm even going to try to throw in exercise 3x weekly. Wish me luck!

To create a little structure, I figured we could do like they do in some of the other threads. Just copy and paste this with your updated stats whenever you feel like recording a loss. Make sure you use the most recent update!

.......................Current............Goal............lbs lost?
Akasha.............158.................140
Jennyfur...........175.................150
karotw..............225................199
LauriTheRN........240.5..............210.5
Missaec............194.5..............165............ .5lbs
MissScruff.........196.................166
oanamomof3......183.................158
poetic1.............144.................120
Super AH...........199.................180
