Mid-Year Resolution Challenge

[cleochatra]

Why I created the Mid-Year Resolution

Last year about this time I decided that by December 31st I was going to be a new person. I was tired of being fat, and at 325 pounds, I was just tired! And who sticks to the New Year Resolutions anyway?

I decided that instead of waiting for the gloomy proposition of another December 31st wishing I had done something about my weight loss, I was going to spend that time looking back and being excited about what I had started.

As a result, I'd lost over 60 pounds by Christmas.

So, I'm issuing a challenge for a Mid-Year Resolution to everyone who is interested.

What is your goal for the New Year?

I am going to be in Onederland by December 31st!

So, 255/199/56 pounds to go!

Rules:

Check in each Monday with your weigh-in.
If you are going by inches and not pounds, you can still join!

Let's see what we can do by New Year's!



No. But really. Why?


Imagine us being HAPPY on December 31st, instead of thinking, "I wish..." ..."I wish"...

We're doing something new and unconventional here at ADBB... we're shooting FOR a New Year's and not merely FROM a New Year's!

We're getting rid of the regrets and replacing them with success!

Just envision all of us, on New Year's, looking slimmer in those party hats!

Shoot for your dreams, ladies! If you exercise and stay true, stick with us, and get ready to boogie on New Year's Eve, how can you not make it?

Re: Mid-Year Resolution Challenge

Shashee-- I hear you! I see how well Iyshiaf's done and I think, "Man! If I had stuck to it, I'd be where she is now!" I've screwed around for too long. We'll both totally make it!

wannabe! You'll make it! You can do it! We have about the same weight loss goal for December! I can't make it and you not, and vice versa. We'll both do it!

*hip bumps*!

Re: Mid-Year Resolution Challenge

Oooh, I'm so in! I've been participating in the birthday challenge - my goal there was 155 lbs by my birthday which is exactly 4 weeks from today, and I think I'm gonna make it, cause I weighed in today at 155.5!

I really enjoyed doing the whole challenge thing - very motivating! So I want to participate in more, definitely.

So, here goes. By the new year, I'd love to be 145 lbs. That would put me 15 lbs away from goal. I can't even fathom that! Eee!

Okay.. count me in. I'd like to lose 55 lbs by the end of the year.

Have I mentioned that I'm thrilled that you're back?! I'm so happy....I'm doing the Snoopy dance. (Hmmmm, wonder how many calories I'm burning)

Re: Mid-Year Resolution Challenge

Hi sharon! It is so good to see you! Welcome aboard cutie patootie!


Chixieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Hello Laura Croft! I'm so glad we'll be exercise buddies again! I wonder if doing the Snoopy dance requires spandex? Or did he wear the legwarmers?

Re: Mid-Year Resolution Challenge

I'll play. I'd like to be in the 160's. I keep deleting that line and then re-typing it, and then deleting it. Part of me feels like being in the 160's is too lofty of a goal. I'm at 191 today (was 187 last week, but had a rough weekend). My Thanksgiving Challenge goal is 175, so really I'd just need to lose 6 more pounds to be at 169. It's totally doable if I work the program, but the fat lady inside me doesn't like this game.

191/169 <------- 22 pounds to go
