Is anyone doing a Christmas challenge yet?

[Nanabug02]

Just seeing if there was a Christmas challenge going on yet.....Anyone know of one I can join? Thanks!

I'm new to this board, but I would love to get in on a Christmas challenge, too. I need to lose about 30 pounds--long term goal--but I would love to lose some of it before everyone breaks out the cameras for the holidays! DH & I are trying to start exercising (we are not good at that), so maybe a challenge here would keep me accountable!

I'd love to do one, too! We've got hurricane Wilma approaching right now, so I won't be on the boards for a bit, but I'll check in tomorrow night to see what interest we have! Yea!!!

I would love one! I don't even know how much would be a reasonable expectation for myself, but I do know that I am boarding an airplane for WDW on Christmas Eve and I would love it if I felt like I wasn't weighing it down too much!

Oh, I can't wait to see what it is!

Is anyone else interested? Maybe we could have something in place by November 1. I saw an exercise challenge started, but not a weight loss/eating related one. If anyone has any ideas, please share! I'm new to all these challenges! I definitely need some accountability, though! I was playing around, trying to figure out how people came up with clippies, and I have this as a first experiment - let me know what you think.

I can't wait to hear your ideas! We can do this!!!

I'm interested!

 

[imaaagination]

I would definitely be interested too!

 

[DIS1975]

I'm interested

 

[msblrobs]

I am definitely interested! I cannot imagine running 40 miles in a weekend at the weight I am currently clocking in at

I'm interested if there is a cute Christmas Mickey clippie!!! I'm hoping to lose atleast 10 lbs. by Christmas!

 

[crzy4pooh]

Here's another possible clippie if you like - no biggie if someone else has an idea. This one is more "Christmas-y", the first was more generic winter (for those that don't necessarily do Christmas- see my earlier post.)

What do ya'll think?

 

[chelle3807]

I'm very interested, and I like both of the clippies. The second one a little more...

 

[MagicalMom]

So? What have we decided?

I'm very interested in a Christmas weight loss challenge... great idea!
I want to feel more like my old self, instead of having that "whose body is this?" feeling. We're going to Disney in January, and I would like to lose weight and then enjoy the trip as a wonderful reward. We've only been to Disney once (now we're hooked) and I think it's an ideal place for people who want to be more healthy and fit. It's one of the few vacations I've taken during which I did not gain weight. It's the only vacation I've taken during which I walked for miles and miles and miles. I tell friends it's a great place to go because it's such an active vacation... you have to train for a Disney trip!
Good luck to everyone!

Crzy4Pooh,
I like the Christmas clippies! (Esp the one with Mickey & Minnie). Is the url available so we can add it to our sigs?
Forgive me if this is a clueless question; I'm very new!

Away from me, Halloween candy, away!

 

[M*2]

Figured it out, obviously. I'm new to clippies.
I'm off to do an exercise video!

Someone mentioned starting on Nov. 1...is this still the plan? Can you tell I'm excited?

Crazy4Pooh-- I love your clippies

 

[crzy4pooh]

Crazy4Pooh-- I love your clippies

Thank you!!!! I was thinking we might want to start this asap - I need a little motivation to put down the Halloween candy. If I wait until the day after Halloween, I will be in serious sugar shock!!! I would be happy to start the thread and update it. I've never done a challenge before, so not totally sure how this all works. If someone else would rather do it, that would be fine. If we are all okay with it, I will start the "official" thread in the morning. I'm not sure which clippie won the vote, but I saw people were posting the Mickey/Minnie one. Here is the picture and the url if you need it. Just change the bracket before the last IMG to get the picture. I will post it again on the "official" thread tomorrow. I'm so excited, too!!! Let me know what you think! And let's get healthy for the holidays!!!
