2008 Mid-Year Resolution Challenge, Sign up thread - Page 6

jt_again · 05-23-2008, 02:24 PM

This Challenge is a great idea, Cleo!!

Thank you for starting it and please sign me up!

I was on Atkins before, lost a little over 50 lbs, my doctor was very pleased with my blood work, and I was looking and feeling better. So, of course, I started adding in "just a few" junky carbs, until I ended up being bigger, but certainly not better, than ever before. My eating has been out of control and has once again negatively affected my health. So, this Challenge has definitely come at the right time for me and I am starting over today. Reading all the replies on this thread has been encouraging as well. I SO want to stick with the Atkins program this time---for good.

Sarajewel · 05-23-2008, 03:22 PM

I've been thinking about the challenge and I have 'downsized' my goal to get to 148. That would be 100 pounds down from my highest ever weight. I also think I could look pretty good in the 140s. I updated my line in the spreadsheet. I loved the idea of setting the goal into fitday - less than a pound a week and I can be there.

Thanks all!

Holy Guacamole! This thread is HOT HOT HOT!

I'd love to join too. The last 10 are killing me. Being accountable to more than myself will hopefully motivate me to stay away from the fridge at night

I have a question........for some reason I thought this Monday was our weigh in day, but going by the spreadsheet it is June 2and....right??

Any reason why it is not this Monday or am I just way off base?

The Official start date for the Challenge is June 2nd so really.... our first official results should be added in the week following on the 9th. There are people who are starting right away so you could always put the pounds lost between now and June 2 on your June 2 results column.

ORRRR I could be totally wrong.

emeraldskye · 05-23-2008, 11:26 PM

May I join? I need a challange just to stick to a challange.

Anyway, I will weigh myself this coming Monday. Im a skeered to do so.

I love the idea of teams.

cleochatra · 05-24-2008, 04:04 AM

C'mon in! I'm still adding folks and should have some teams assembled by the end of the weekend.

And yes, Anna is right. The challenge officially begins June 2, so if you want to amend your numbers and put them into the June 2 space. just record your losses between your starting weight (if you're starting now, choose now) and your June 2 weight loss.

Cleo there are 62 names and I'm compiling these on an Excel Spreadsheet.

We need a couple more to make 8 teams of 8 or one more to make 7 teams of 9.

Can I email you the spreadsheet when I'm done?

ETA: Done!

Danipower714 · 05-24-2008, 10:08 AM

The challenge is going to be AWESOME! Kind of like Amazing Race, but for weight loss!!

luisafernanda · 05-24-2008, 11:18 AM

Hi Cleo, hi everyone, I'd like to join, too! I've never done a challenge before, and I like the idea of teams because I am less likely to let my team members down than I am to let myself down.

I am going to shoot for 30 lbs between now and the end of the year. That means revising my original goal, which was to lose another 26 lbs, but I think I can do it so I've decided not to be so conservative. So:

luisafernanda - 30 to lose / 0 lost / 30 lbs. to go.

Nice to see some of my South Beach buddies here.

Dani and Tina!

Jean@125 · 05-24-2008, 11:52 AM

What a great challenge idea. I'd love to join in. I really like the team idea.

Jean@125 39 to lose/0 lost/ 39 to go

eske · 05-24-2008, 12:36 PM

I'm motivated just thinking about this - I did the math and I need to average 1.3 pound loss each week to meet my goal by the end of the year. I went to the gym today, and totally think I can do it this time!

LoraJR72 · 05-24-2008, 02:15 PM

That's fantastic! I'll be sure I add you to the list and update Cleo!

Wow, we need to lose a total of 1.65 tons of weight!

katlam · 05-24-2008, 04:53 PM

ok Jamie you convinced me. I'm here and I'm ready to do it again. I've got to get back the 55 I regained and drop another 30 (or more) for comfort. So I put my plan in my signature.

LoraJR72 · 05-24-2008, 05:01 PM

Katlam

This is great! So many people!

LoraJR72 · 05-24-2008, 06:08 PM

When Cleo arranges Teams...I think to really get us committed to the program is get T-shirts from this place.

cleochatra · 05-24-2008, 06:47 PM

Hi! I am so glad you're here katlam! woohoo!

Guys, katlam is a friend of mine I've known for years. she's a great person, and I love her, and am glad she's here.

I am so happy to see folks still joining! I am putting together teams, and appreciate that Lora has also made a spreadsheet.

I have one here which I'm updating that I've given challenge members access to. So go ahead and check it out, play with it, and let me know what you think. I'm also letting you update your stats there as well.

cleochatra · 05-24-2008, 06:47 PM

I like the sound of that-- The Amazing Race, minus all of the commercials. This will be a hoot!

Thanks for continuing to sign up.

MouseGal · 05-24-2008, 06:49 PM

I hope it's not too late to join! I just really rededicated myself this week - I was successful in 2006 and early 2007, getting almost 100 pounds off, and I've maintained almost all of that loss....but I've been "stalled" for months now. I finally got the scale moving again this week by going back to strict induction, and getting on the treadmill twice a day, 20 minutes at a time...

I want to reach my goal eventually, and I know that I will, but for now, I've got a trip to Vegas, and one to Disney World (practically my second home!) coming up in June, and I would really love to be back under the 250 mark by then....I just feel like if I can break that mark again, I can be successful this time.

So, Mousegal - 100 to lose / 0 lost / 100 pounds to go

LoraJR72 · 05-24-2008, 07:00 PM

Mousegal.

I added you to the list!

cleochatra · 05-24-2008, 07:04 PM

Welcome aboard Mousegal! Not too late to join! We don't officially start until June 2nd, but I'm putting teams together now so that we can leave the gate roaring.

Thanks for coming in.

Folks can still join after we start, but it becomes a little more difficult in terms of teams and placement of new members.

emeraldskye · 05-24-2008, 07:23 PM

I appear not to be on the list. Shall I add myself? The only reason I hesitate to do so is because of not knowing who the teams are.

Although I don't have an exact # yet, I expect it will be to lose 60lbs.

I will have a definitive answer on Monday.

Thanks.

The challenge officially begins June 2, so if you want to amend your numbers and put them into the June 2 space. just record your losses between your starting weight (if you're starting now, choose now) and your June 2 weight loss.

eske Senior LCF Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 73 Gallery: eske	I'm motivated just thinking about this - I did the math and I need to average 1.3 pound loss each week to meet my goal by the end of the year. I went to the gym today, and totally think I can do it this time!

I'm here and I'm ready to do it again. I've got to get back the 55 I regained and drop another 30 (or more) for comfort. So I put my plan in my signature.

I am so glad you're here katlam! woohoo! Guys, katlam is a friend of mine I've known for years. she's a great person, and I love her, and am glad she's here. I am so happy to see folks still joining! I am putting together teams, and appreciate that Lora has also made a spreadsheet. I have one here which I'm updating that I've given challenge members access to. So go ahead and check it out, play with it, and let me know what you think. I'm also letting you update your stats there as well. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...dqlUxaMA&hl=en

I just really rededicated myself this week - I was successful in 2006 and early 2007, getting almost 100 pounds off, and I've maintained almost all of that loss....but I've been "stalled" for months now. I finally got the scale moving again this week by going back to strict induction, and getting on the treadmill twice a day, 20 minutes at a time... I want to reach my goal eventually, and I know that I will, but for now, I've got a trip to Vegas, and one to Disney World (practically my second home!) coming up in June, and I would really love to be back under the 250 mark by then....I just feel like if I can break that mark again, I can be successful this time. So, Mousegal - 100 to lose / 0 lost / 100 pounds to go __________________ MouseGal Part of Team One MY Challenge Blazin' Beauties - Git 'Er Done! 338/255/140 100 to lose / 6.25 lost / 93.75 to go My Fitday Goals: 299 by Sept 1st -met! 225 next goal by Sept 1, 2008...

Not too late to join! We don't officially start until June 2nd, but I'm putting teams together now so that we can leave the gate roaring. Thanks for coming in. Folks can still join after we start, but it becomes a little more difficult in terms of teams and placement of new members.

emeraldskye MAJOR LCF POSTER! Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Vancouver, BC Posts: 2,588 Gallery: emeraldskye	I appear not to be on the list. Shall I add myself? The only reason I hesitate to do so is because of not knowing who the teams are. Although I don't have an exact # yet, I expect it will be to lose 60lbs. I will have a definitive answer on Monday. Thanks.
