January/February weight loss challenge

[uk elephant]

Count me in again too. I'm starting the year with good intentions....

Starting at 216.4 today and would like to get below 210 by the end of the 8 weeks. Salad for lunch today, should be a good start...

I'm in! Starting weight of 158.8 (Which is 21 lbs down from october!!!) Might be ambitious, but for this challenge, I want to try for 150.

My goal for my two week break was to maintain at 160, and even going totally off of weight watchers for a week, I still lost, which probably had something to do with the fact that I ran/biked on our vacation to Austin!

I appreciate the support of this group!

Hrm, just realized I was way too aggressive on my goal given my starting weight. SO! Please fix me to:

Starting weight: 134.5
Goal: 128

-- gnat!

I'm going to pass on the challenge this time. I've decided to stop getting on the scale. It's too frustrating. I've been a total slacker since mid November. I'm going it alone this time and looking for changes in clothing fit instead of numbers on a scale.

Best of luck to all of you!

Hey Posse and everyone else! I'm in again too... Starting weight 241, ouch... Goal for this 8 weeks is 233. I think 8 pounds is a reachable/reasonable goal...

I was on a diet for most of 2009 and lost 33lbs but really let it go from Thanksgiving 'til now. So I'm in and Thank you Possegal for all you do.

Jones, you can do it. Don't let the holiday season get you down. I lost 35 between Nov & May last year. Kept it all off until a little indulging during the holiday put a few pounds back on. I'm sure I could have been really really strict and kept it off, or even lost a little during the holiday. BUT, part of the fun of the holidays for me is lots of baking, socializing and eating out more than I normally do, etc. Plus, I needed mental break from all the calorie counting and food journaling.

But, it's a new year and I'm happily back on plan. I'm sure I can lose the couple pounds I put on in just a few weeks in January, and be back on my way towards my ultimate goal (which is less than 10 pounds from where I am now).


Congrats on the huge accomplishment last year! :-)
