New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

[loser4life]

Thought I would start this challenge in hopes of getting off my lazy butt!!!! and kicking this weight to the curb!!!! at least some of it!!!!
I want to change my eating habits by New years and lose weight in the process!!!!! I will be in control of what goes in my mouth! So, my goal for New years is
1. exercise AT LEAST 3 times per week
2. WATER- no less than 80oz
3. Stay LEGAL! No excuses!
4. Lose 1lb a week....... that will add up to 10lbs.... HOWEVER, with just starting I want to lose 20lbs by new years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or if I could just get to 190 that would be fab!

Start weight for me is... ugh *cringes while going to scale*
10/23/06 206.8- I can't believe I let myself get over 200 AGAIN!!!!!



I will more than likely weigh in on Mondays... that is my day off.

I would love for some others to join me in this challenge!!!!! Just think of how good we will look in our party attire this new years!!!!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Well... this is it! I have started clean today... ready to move on after refreshing my self with DANDR. I am feeling sooo stinking hungry today tho!!! ugh! I hate starting because of the constant hunger the first couple days and the fatigue.... but after day 3 I know all will be well... so here it is... day 1...*breathe* I will do this! I am soo tired of not recognising the girl in the mirror! I haven't gained a lot back but enough is enough... if I don't quit saying tomorrow I will never do it! so today today today it is!!!!!

starting weight today is 204.8... I have got to get back into the 100s. I cannot believe I let myself get above 200 again!!!! sheesh!!!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Well, I have been doing really well... I need to get some more water in and exercise more but I think i am out of the eat everything(legal) in sight phase! haha!

Tomorrow I begin gonig to the Y again and I will drink more water! I haven't weighted since starting again this week, but I think I may tomorrow... or maybe I will wait a whole week... we'll see how I feel in the morning, I think TOM is coming too so if thats the case I will probably wait.....

I made a really really yummy dinner tonight too,.. turkey and mushroom in a white cream sauce ontop of cauliflower and green beans. YUM!

Hi there,

Is it still ok to join in?

My goal is to be under the 200 mark by new year also. I just started AWOL and am on my second day of induction. So far so well, apart from a mild headache. My starting weight is 225 and I definitely need all the motivation I can get.

Hey Rikki,
I just wanted to pop in and encourage all of you guys over here...I think this is a wonderful idea. I want to drop 10 by New Years, but far more important than dropping is I want to add quality of life to my life so that on NewYears Day I am standing tall, strong and achieving my goals.

I know you are building momentum and every day that you stay focused and work hard to achieve the water, the exercise and the foods, soon you will be flowing at a high level...You will feel good, be in ketosis and moving towards your goals...

Work hard to get yourself up to the level you need to be at...Make it a priority, put it first in your day, and soon you will flow out of this level.

Ya'll are gonna steam ahead and realize your goals...

Lisa- how are you doing?
I am just off to get ready for work. I did go ahead and weigh this morning and I was down to 200.4! whooo hoooo... hopefully passin twoerville again... never to return(FOR REAL THIS TIME!!!!!)

Plans for food today are burnt quiche (I cooked it for like was over an hour last night! I forgot it was in there, but it doesn't taste too bad ) For lunch I am thinking a casesar side salad with burgers from wendy's... and dinner will probably be pork chops with broccoli and mac and cheese for the fellow... I may go get some cauliflower and add a bit of cheese to it for myself!

Hope ya have a great cheat free day!!!!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

glad you were rewarded on the scales as new to you exercise can cause fluid in muscles retention Brook can load 5 pounds every time she swaps out exercise videos.

got the red carpet ready for your jump back to 100erland so be sure to post a shout when you arrive.

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Sounds good and strong over here, Riki...Love the vibe coming off your progress...feels good to drop, and soon you will be in onderland..

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Thanks guys! I did good today but ended up working really late and didn't get to the gym... I am thinking I will start fresh next week with the gym cause this week seems a bust with it... but foodwise I am doing excellent. I made pork chops tonight with broccoli and creamed spinach! It was yummy! for lunch I had some pulled pork and breakfast was my burnt quiche! I WILL DRINK AT LEAST 80 oz of water tomorrow! I am ready to chug!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Woo hooo! You're doing great, Rikki!


I'm hanging in by the threads of my socks. Stress is just a bad six letter word right now with midterms and life. But! Walking is my friend. I'm not peeking a the scale today...and probably not until next week. TOM's lurking around the corner and so are the grades from my midterms...yuck! lol!

Hang tough! Woo hooo!!!
