~~~Winter Onederland Challenge~~~

Re: ~~~Winter Onederland Challenge~~~

Welcome Shelly,

First, you need to go up to the User CP button on your screen and fill in some stats for yourself so we know a little more about you. For example, look at mine and you will see HW (highest weight)/SW (starting weight)/CW (current weight)/GW (goal weight). Also, add whatever else you feel you can share. Of course, all of this is optional.

Second, set a goal weight for yourself to attain by Thanksgiving morning as this is the challenge we are doing now. I am not close to being able to get into Onderland by Thanksgiving (I am 260 now), but I still make a goal and join the group so I can have a team to work with.

Third, set any other goals for yourself. For example: 1. eat only induction-legal foods. 2. Exercise X times a week for X number of minutes, etc.

Then, check in with us and let us know how you are doing! It is as simple as that. Rikki, did I forget anything? Rikki (Loser4Life) started this thread so I hope I did her justice on explaining this.

Shelly,

Also, if you think that someone did a nice job in welcoming you, helping you, or just inspiring you, then click on the scales on the top of their post and leave them some love. You will love it here!

Deb's progress today...

Hey ya'll,

Whew, it is finals time at one of my schools so I am grading final papers like wildfire to meet my Friday deadline. Anyone want to help me grade 150 research papers? Nah, I didn't think so.

I have not done my exercise yet today, but you know I will. I am actually beginning to get used to it now. The scale is still refusing to move, but I am hoping it is from exercising and my muscles using more fluid.

I have had 1 carb today because I had two slices of bacon and one large egg (scrambled plain) for breakfast. I have also had 67.6 oz. of H2O. Man, I love me some water!

I will post more later. Hope everyone is having a good day. Rikki, don't work too hard today!

Daily Post:

My water intake was right on track. I walked 1.2 miles which took about 40 minutes. (I walk a little slow). I really enjoy walking at the park especially this time of the year. I took some peanuts to feed the squirrels-they so enjoy them. I also documented in my FitDay like a good girl. My carb intake was 17 with 5 of that being fiber so I stayed under my 25 carb goal. I'm not going to weigh until Saturday. Don't expect to lose any as I tend to lose all at once and I lost some last Saturday so I may not lose this week but I will lose.

Re: ~~~Winter Onederland Challenge~~~

Rikki,

Sounds like you are having a wonderful day. I have had two teleconferences today and they were spaced where with work I have not gotten to exercise yet. But, I will later this evening. I have had 84 oz. of water and 4.3 grams of carb today and I am watching the calories too. So, I am going to be alright.

Re: ~~~Winter Onederland Challenge~~~

I just had to post this... it is my horoscope for today!!!

A large assembly of forces is gathering at this time to make a bold statement and an important pledge, dear Aquarius. This is the kind of movement that brings together entire generations and unites people to form a revolution of some sort. Put away the petty issues and think on a global scale. Educate yourself about what is going on in the world, and take a more aggressive stand in fighting for what you believe. A small group of intelligent individuals can make a tremendous impact.

Re: ~~~Winter Onederland Challenge~~~

Rikki,

I think they are talking about our little group! We are going to make a difference in our lives and in the lives of the people we love. We will do it!

Oh, I was thinking ahead of a name for a November-Christmas Challenge for us (I know, we barely started the Thanksgiving one), but I like the name "Sexy for Santa" for the next one. What do you think?
