Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

Count me in I am so excited to have found this thread!!!

I am currently 186lbs and would Love to lose 20lbs by New Years to put me at 166lbs.
(OMG I just realized that if I get to 166, I will only have 20 more lbs to get to my goal)

So how does this challange work? Do we report here weekly??

Did I tell you that I am sooo excited???

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

I'm up for a challenge. I'm new to Atkins, and have just started OWL, but I think I could drop down to 145ish (emphasis on the ish) by January 1 2009. Anything more than that would be awesome.

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

Here I am, too.
Until New Year I want 2 things:
- my waist circumference under 35"
- No more obesity!!! A BMI under 30. That means I have to get to a maximum of 165lbs. 9lbs to loose as from today.

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

hmmm I am not losing with the weight training I am addicted to. Let me sleep on this because I need to make a choice: lift weights or lose the 15 lbs of fat. Have not been able to do both.

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

I'd like to join. I have about 60 lbs. left, but I'm going to go for 20 lbs. by New Year's.

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

I would love to join this Callenge.

I'm having major surgery on my knee on the 6th of November (this coming Thursday), so I'm praying that it doesn't stall my weightloss.

I would like to lose 15 pounds in the next 9 weeks. My weight has been coming off slow, but I assume it is because I can't really excersize as much as I should. SOooooo, put me down for a 15 pound loss please.

Current Weight: 296.4
New Years Goal Weight: 281.4

I started Atkins on Sepetember 17th (about 7 weeks ago), and on Atkins I've lost 17.6 pounds. My total weightloss from my heaviest is 27.6 pound!

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

Whoops, it's Nov. 1 already ... may I join, too, cruisergal?

If so ... I'd like to lose another 10 lbs. by New Year's. This Challenge is a great idea ... will help us all get over that "holiday hump!"

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

So far I am down 1 pound, so I have 14 more to go.

Hi Cruisergal! I want to thankyou for leading us all into this healthy New Year. I see that my weight loss goal is 32 pounds!! Did I say that?Im sorry if I did I wish! After the Halloween challenge I have learned reality! I would like to change that goal to 15 pounds. Would that be ok?

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

Morning all! Well, I see I committed to losing 10 lbs. Since doing that, I've already lost 4 of those...so I think I should modify it to 6 more. The reason is that I'll be so close to goal by then and I know I'm supposed to stay in pre-maintenance for quite some time before goal, right? Don't get me wrong, losing an additional 10 would put me at 3 lbs from goal and I'd love to hit...and maybe I will, but I don't want to lose so quickly that i'm not moving through the rungs slowly enough to maintain for life, ya know?

SO let's move me to 6 lbs for this challenge.

Re: New YOU in the New Year's Challenge

Good morning all! Nov 1st update, for all those who reported
and some of us changed our challenge goals. There are also a few new people added, welcome. Looks like things are moving rather slowly, and hopefully will pick up. We've got around 9 more weeks to go till New Years. How bad do we want it??? I'm going to get more activity on my workouts, which have been slacking the last couple of weeks. That definately makes the difference for me. Where's everyone else on the challenge?
