I'm still at 112 but down a few more ounces this week...sigh... the slowing of the wt loss in owl/pre maintenance is difficult!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

I'm so proud of myself!!! We were at a costume party last night and I stayed the course even after a few glasses of the wine I'd brought. I had my wine and didn't touch a munchie.

I'm 5.5/20 for the challenge.

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hi everyone

Mitzi - wow 4lbs from goal is amazing!!!! I think thats the best christmas present you'll get this year - GOAL!!!! fantastic!!!! And I agree with Angel - you look 30 - I was shocked when I see your true age!!!

I've been soo good this weekend - which is like some sort of miracle for me!! We even went out last night and I was 100% good - plus the food I had was soo nice, so I've told hubby were going out every Saturday night and I'm doing a "fillet steak survey"!! lol I've suggested that we go to a different restaurant every saturday night and I'll check out all the steaks and give them ? out of 10!!! lol At least I can look forward to my saturday nights out, where as before I never really looked forward to them as I knew going out meant "naughty foods"!! lol So I'll only book restaurants where I know I can get my fillet steak!! !! lol I let myself have a cappucino for dessert!! Plus I drive so I cant have any alcohol, and go to restaurants that are too far to get a taxi home incase I say "oh lets leave the car and get a taxi home - waiter bottle of pink wine please"!!! lol

have a great Sunday everyone!! I'm having a lazy Sunday - I'm sat of the sofa with Legally Blonde on the TV, Internet on my laptop next to me and my current book and a copy of Cosmo on another little table next to me!!! lol - oh and a large bottle of Pellegrino water too!! hehe!

We have 86 participants pledging to lose 1732.5
2 pledging to lose clothes sizes
and 1 pledging to tone up.

So far we have lost 200.45 pounds!

mamanugget - rather than post your weight can you post me either your loss for the week or your total lost for the challenge please? otherwise i hafta sieve thru hundreds of posts to try and find out what you weighed before!! thankyou m'dearie!

Welcome Don!! good to have ya!

Jane - thats a fab idea!!! anything to help you stay on track! lol

okay - we got tonnes of people still joining this challenge, which is fantastic, but we also have a lot of non-reporters... sooo d'ya's think i should PM everyone whos not reported?? and if they dont respond from that remove them from the list? of course they are always welcome to go back on it! i derno, i just feel like i need to do some fall cleaning lol....

if anyone wants to help, feel free

ive stalled this week, kinda surprising being that i was being extra good with veggies thanks to sillygirl! but at least its not a gain!!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Welcome Kassoria to the Challenge.

Emma: Your pictures just blow me away. What a major difference!!! You have lost weight but you gained 10 years back. So much younger looking for your new hot body !!!! I will get with you tomorrow for total weight loss after weigh in tomorrow.. hoping for another pound to subtract.

Way to go Mitzi on your "almost to goal". One of these days, I will be saying the same thing.

Everyone is doing wonderful. Big pat on the back for all of us !!! We made another person. (Hope it's a he and he's tall at 200 lbs hee hee)

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

I have been rotten about reporting...please don't blow me off the list! I am at a standstill, so...I am dropping back some rungs to get myself started tomorrow!

[hopejoy]

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hi Emma and everyone!
Finally got real with myself today and stepped on the scale... I was so scared, but found I was only up 2 lbs from the day before I left for London... which is only up 1 from when I started this challenge... sooooooo actually I'm really happy, because my hands feel like they are retaining water, am hopeful it will come back off pretty quickly! and I am just not going to worry about it a bit! Just gonna do induction for a couple more days (3 days cheat free so far) and then move up the rungs quickly! This is a great woe! and I know it works.
Tomorrow will go to the gym, and get back on track with exersize, keep drinking tons of water, take the vits and etc... etc....

... but we also have a lot of non-reporters... ... i just feel like i need to do some fall cleaning lol....

Don't toss me out Emma - I just don't have any good news to report other than that 1st pound I lost!

I've cut out Flax and have started exercising (today is day 3 of the new regimen), but I don't know yet if it's made a difference. Will weigh in tomorrow (at work).

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Down 1 pond this week to make it 7 lost total. Eating is right on the money. I have been sufferring with a lot of headaches which are debilitation, my moods are very unstable as well. Probably from my Meds so it's been a rough few weeks.

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

I'm sorry I haven't reported this week. Mondays are the day of the week I weigh and measure. I'll make sure to report in first thing tommorow morning. My goals were to get down to 125 and reduce my body fat plus earn my presidental fitness award. I'm doing good working towards my award I am just over 1/2 way there woohoo. I'll report my weight and bodyfat tommorow morning.
