Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Ok Emma,

I finally made it here, and although I can't do much working out just yet, I have started induction and lost 10lbs so far in one week! My goal weight for this challenge is 175lbs. I started the challenge at 210lbs, post pregnancy. So, my goal is to lose 25 more lbs by Christmas...so far I'm 10/35. I will be working my arms out w/ weights and counting that as my exercise, since I'm not supposed to lift anything that weighs more than the baby. She's 5lbs, they're 5lbs...that worked out well!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

I dedicate this week's weight loss to my husband who saved me from myself this morning. I had the worst tummy pain and he removed a freshly opened bag of cookies from my clenched fingers and rubbed my feet for an hour! I said some not so nice things to him when he took the cookies away from me.

But when I got up tonight to start my day (sigh, wish there were more night owls!) I was down another pound!!!!!

I'm so close to goal (as he reminded me this morning). It's almost more difficult sometimes to keep up the work when you're so close cause you figure, what difference could these last 5 or 10 lbs make on my frame??


KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE. Stay strong through the Halloween frenzy!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

iyshiaf: What a beautiful baby.... You must be really happy!!!! Glad you made it in.

PinkBikini: How cool is your hubby!! I don't think mine would have dared came between me and those cookies.. I told mine tonight could I take the $$ that I'm saving by not eating Dairy Queen with them and get more Halloween decorations for my yard?? Didn't work to well.. Hey we're going shopping tomorrow, you never know what I'll come up with! Hee Hee

Sorry you have the owl shift, I did it for 18 months and beside the extra money I made I was glad to get off of it.

Good night everyone... "Check" in with you guys tomorrow. Keep up keeping it down

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Weighed a day early cos I just KNEW I was down. Whoopee!! Another 3lbs!!

So that's 5/20 for me and what I thought was a very optimistic target seems so doable now!

What a totally gorgeous baby iyshiaf - enjoy every moment with her!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hey everyone
Sorry I havent been around much this week but I have been to the gym 4 times this week and drunk 3 litres of water per day!

Congratulations to everyone for their first week's losses. Look at us all GO!!!

I weigh every Monday so here's hoping I've shed a few pounds by 2mrw.

Half way through this challenge I've got a girly shopping and spa weekend booked with my sister and my mum. So as a mini goal I've set myself to be 12 stone/168lbs by 17th November. We're going to Bluewater which is one of the biggest shopping centres in the UK and I CANT WAIT!!! I love to shop and I really want to be buying size 14 clothes by this date.

As an Xmas incentive I've been scanning through some catalogues for some Xmas party dresses and I've found a few that I like. I'm going to print off the pictures and put them up at work and at home to keep my mind on the task in hand. I want to look hot for my first Xmas do at my new job!

Keep up the fantastic work everyone!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

WOW!!! Those stats are amazing!!! So many shrinking people, this is so incredible!!

So I did my weekly weigh-in this morning and I lost 8 pounds! This is unusual for me, but since I'm back on induction & working out harder than ever before, I guess it's ok!

I can't wait to see how much we shrink by the time Christmas comes around! I'm so excited for all of us!!!! *HUGS*

[Mamanugget]

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hey everyone! alright well I weighed today and after 14 days on induction I have lost 6.5 lbs. 1.5 of this has been on this challenge! whooo whooo

Let me just say that I am blown away by the numbers we have going so far... amazing! Look at us go!!

I am in a crunch for time right now, and I truly wish that I could acknowledge each and every one of you... please accept my sincere congrats on your progress so far. I feel great strength in this group - we are going to kick a$$!

Sundays are my weigh day, and I am pleased to report 2 more pounds gone. This makes me 3/9 for the challenge.

I am looking forward to reading about each of you. Good luck!
