New Year's Resolution Challenge! Lose 14 lbs. by February 14th. Let's go!

Going2 · 12-25-2009, 08:33 AM

I'm in -- thanks for starting this thread. I look forward to "winning" this slow-n-steady challenge in 7 weeks!

Looweewoo · 12-25-2009, 09:57 AM

Fourteen pounds.

Say! If our British friends would stick to Chicken and not have any turkey or partridges or whatever, would that be killing two stones with one bird?

Well, I'm not off to a very good start! I took my son out to Golden Corral last night because I knew I could eat on plan there, then proceeded to go right off plan! Not horribly off plan, but enough I guess.

Back to VLC today.

skeopple · 12-28-2009, 02:45 AM

I'll start today. Just noticed this challenge. I did great until our last Christmas celebration yesterday. Failed miserable but I'm right back up and running today.

12/27 : 267 (using siggy weight but know it's higher; refusing to look until the 1st) WILL CATCH UP!

texastigerlily · 12-28-2009, 06:45 AM

I fell off the wagon during Christmas (not bad, but enough to feel guilty and get a carb hangover). The last couple of days I've eat LC and small. I'm down a pound this morning. The holidays are over - no more excuses!

skeopple · 12-28-2009, 08:00 AM

Good for you. It's not the falling down that makes you fail; it's the not getting backup. KUTGW

InTheLight · 12-28-2009, 11:05 AM

I've lost weight before, and when I'm lighter, I feel great; I sleep and am able to get comfortable a lot easier before going to sleep. My breathing is better, my clothes look better on me, they are not so tight, and my knees feel better too. I'm thinking of all the positives, and there are so many of them when I'm lighter. Water and exercise will become my best friends, and eating veggies, fresh fish and seafood, a delicious cheeseburger and a T-bone steak is great eating!!! I will miss the potato rolls though ...

barbarella · 12-28-2009, 11:14 AM

Today's Goal - Drink WATER. I've been neglecting my water lately.

InTheLight · 12-29-2009, 07:24 AM

Ok Texastigerlily, will do -- for a long time now, I would get my bottle of water first thing in the morning, and then we would do a standoff all day, with the water winning most of the time. But after reading your challenge, I looked at that bottle and said "okay water, today, you're going down"!!!!!!!!!!

Literally!

InTheLight · 12-30-2009, 06:32 AM

Proud and pleased to report that I drank more water yesterday than I had all week, so I'm patting myself on the back!!!

How did everyone else do with getting that water down?

Looweewoo · 12-30-2009, 07:11 AM

Well, I didn't join a challenge about drinking water but I don't want to seem like I am ignoring yours. I drink to thirst and yes, I've seen the web pages. Good luck to those who are joining.

Nannyhooch · 12-30-2009, 07:17 AM

Would like to join your challenge. I am new to LCF, this Valentine challenge would be great. Losing 14 by the 14th would be great! My official LC start date will be Jan. 04. My hubby's b'day is Sunday and have a party planned so I thought the 4th would be the safest start day! I think this thread is going to be fun and challenging! Thx

Welcome Nannyhooch!

You will make 14lbs in no time if you are starting induction. You drop a lot of weight on induction!

Edited to add: I also drink water to thirst, but I do try to drink a half gallon a day. As long as I drink my coffee though I don't retain water no matter how little water I drink.

Just to let everyone know, I'm not in weight loss mode right now. I'm still enjoying my holidays and my lc treats, so I'm not focused on losing until after the weekend. So my weight will be the same next weigh in I'm sure Lol.

Nannyhooch · 12-30-2009, 07:32 AM

Thank you so much for the welcome MsWoods! Sounds like we are starting this journey on the same day! Good Luck to you!

Yes I have to get that water bottle out and start getting in 64 oz or more a day of H20!

Looweewoo · 12-30-2009, 07:32 AM

I might be in the same boat. Until my son leaves I am a little off my regular routine. Not off plan, just over to one side of it....
