Christmas Challenge - week of 11/28

justmarvi · 11-28-2005, 10:31 AM

Good morning Challengers,

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, time is a ticking....

Coundown to Christmas

anj · 11-28-2005, 11:42 AM

Exactly 4 weeks left till Christmas. For me, it really isn't Christmas as much as finishing finals. I started the week well yesterday and ran for 4 miles. I need to lose another 3.5 pounds to make my goal. That, plus all the water weight I am holding for some reason.

Shalbrihil · 11-28-2005, 01:20 PM

My goal for no more late night eating is still enforced. I've made it through the last 2 weeks and now working to get through this one. I'm hoping to move into the next milestone and reach 220's somewhere. I'll be happy any place in that area by Christmas.

I was surprised to see that countdown coming from my home town Marva. That was a neat surprise!

justmarvi · 11-28-2005, 08:40 PM

How neat is that Sharon!

Yah on the no night eating!

Anj, you're doing great!

I'm back to exercising again, treadmill at the gym today,

hostamomma · 11-29-2005, 08:58 AM

Okay, 4 more pounds to go to Christmas goal! Gotta get busy. I will be in wonderland then.

PIR8LUVR · 11-29-2005, 09:18 AM

8 pounds by Christmas! I will definitely be in onederland by then.

Goals for the next 4 weeks
1) Work out as often as possible ( 5-6 days a week)
2) No cheating for no reason. Special parties are different and then I will not over do it.
3) Drink water at home on the weekends

anj · 11-29-2005, 03:47 PM

Okay, I guess my goal is to lose 3.5 more lbs - which would put my at 163.

Also, I want to exercise 5 days a week.

I want to try not to stress eat. I gotta not to that tonight, particularly. I have a presentation in the morning I hate talking in front of groups.

RockyMountainHigh · 11-30-2005, 10:41 AM

When I first posted, my goal was to lose 10 pounds by Christmas/New Year's. I'm down 4.5 already, so I only have 5.5 to go!

I get to start walking (I can't do cardio right now...I'm too big, I get so ill...I love it when I'm thinner, though) and doing sculpting. My target muscle group is my abs! It's the part that bothers me the most on my whole body.

Shalbrihil · 11-30-2005, 11:19 AM

3 more pounds to go before I'm in the 220 area. I have a funny feeling I'm going to make it by Christmas!

RockyMountainHigh · 11-30-2005, 11:33 AM

Yay, Sharon!

justmarvi · 11-30-2005, 11:36 AM

Awewome everyone! I sure would like to get in the 150's again!

anj · 11-30-2005, 04:05 PM

Still need 3.5 pounds...

vessel of prayer · 11-30-2005, 06:29 PM

need to lose 5 more pounds... it's going ...going...gone!! Can't wait. I am still doing Callanetics, and walking/gazelling, wall pushups.

RockyMountainHigh · 11-30-2005, 09:52 PM

I have 4 pounds to go for my Christmas goal.

Shalbrihil · 12-01-2005, 10:42 AM

I'm down to 230.8 this morning. Looking over the horizon at that 220 sign!

justmarvi · 12-01-2005, 10:47 AM

Woohoo Sharon!!!

RockyMountainHigh · 12-01-2005, 11:16 AM

Wow, Sharon! That is awesome! You have come so far.

anj · 12-01-2005, 06:48 PM

I'm down 1.5 pounds - so that means I only need to lose 2 pounds before Christmas.

vessel of prayer · 12-01-2005, 07:09 PM

you are all doing so good. I am up almost 2 pounds this morning. DISGUSTED ... I havent cheated, so it has to be saurkraut, and lf hot dogs. Drinking lots of water.

Sheila

hostamomma · 12-02-2005, 05:39 AM

I am now within 2 pounds of my Christmas goal, within 1 pound of onederland. I am struggling with emotions. I need to find a way to be thin and not be afraid of it.

Shalbrihil · 12-02-2005, 12:23 PM

I'm 2 oz. closer this morning. scale says 230.6

vessel of prayer · 12-02-2005, 03:29 PM

Still trying to lose water weight gain by Mon weigh day. .... eesh I was doing so good too.

RockyMountainHigh · 12-03-2005, 11:26 AM

I'm down another pound! So just 3 more until my Christmas goal!

Shalbrihil · 12-03-2005, 02:25 PM

Yay Stephanie!!

anj · 12-04-2005, 08:55 AM

I'm down another 1.5 pounds - which means I'm 1/2 pound away from my Christmas goal!!!

I don't know if I should reset it or just keep it. I still have 3 weeks of brutal exams to go through so I don;t want to be too hard on myself. But at the same time, I don;t want to get sloppy - thinking I can coast for the next 3 weeks.

I think I'm going to make a new "stretch" goal of 159.5 - that would be 4 pounds in 3 weeks, which isn't impossible, but enough to still challange me.

Shalbrihil · 12-04-2005, 09:14 AM

I had a little backslide last night but after weighing this morning and seeing that little rise on the scale I'm back on track again. Have a nice Sunday!

Woo Hoo anj. You are doing fantistic!
