New Me by New Year FINAL check-in 01/01/04!!

[mommyflower]

Hi
I lost one pound this week. That makes me 4/12. This time next week I will be heading to MIL's for thanksgiving and then to WDW. I will be gone until 12/8 so I'm going to miss a couple check ins. I just hope to atleast maintain while WDW. I know it might be tough to avoid some of the temptations, but I think I can do it.
Good luck to everybody. I know this challenge might become a bit more difficult because of all the holiday goodies that are starting to appear everywhere. I know we can do it! And if you do slip up, don't beat yourself up. Just forget about it and get back on plan. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Well, I'll use my weigh in from today (Thursday) because my Tuesday weigh in showed no loss- but today I showed a 1 pound loss so I'm down 2 for my goal so far- I want to get to 169 by New Year's and I'm at 183 today. I am back to slimfasting- I've had a lot of stress lately that could make it hard for me to lose with all the comfort food I would normally go for - so atleast if I do comfort myself it's only one meal of the day. We will probably have to sell our house and relocate across two states- and doing this right before the holidays is making my head spin. So really, I'll be thrilled with any loss between now and then- I just can't seem to focus on losing weight right now.

I lost 1 pound this week. But now i'm really going to through a wrench into my mix. I have changed my WW goal from 125 to 130. My New Year's goal was my WW goal. So my goal is now 10 rather than 15. SOOOO... I am 4/10 for new Years. I hope this doesn't mess any thing up.

I will not reach my thankgiving challeng goal, but i really think that I will reach my New years goal

2 pounds gone this week, putting me at 8/19 for the challenge. Right on track! I can't wait to show off my new slimmer body during all those family holiday get-togethers - most people don't know that I've been losing weight!

Keep it up, everyone!

Yippie! I lost 2.4 pounds! You can mark it as "2" and I'll save the few ounces for next week .

I bought a nalgene water bottle in the prettiest green color. It really helps me to have something handy and attractive to drink my water from. My DD has decorated it with stickers from her ballet class, so there is no question who it belongs to. I also bought a "splash guard" that fits inside the mouth of the bottle so I don't get spashed in the face when I trink on the treadmill .

Hi Guys - great to hear how you are getting on thanks for checking in!!

kasar - another 2lb - well done you!! 14 gone since starting the challenge - you must be feeling & looking great! I think you were right not to up you goal - the hardest days are ahead of us with the holiday food temptations!! Maybe your new goal can be to see how far over your goal you could get!!

catherine - you keep making good progress - 6/20 you are right on track to get to your goal - well done.

mommyflower - well done getting rid of 1lb this week!! Your post is so right and something all of us need to think about - the toughest days are coming up now - we need to think carefully about our choices and try to stick with our plans as well as we can. I am not sure if you will be checking in next week before you go or not - but have a good time with your family and at WDW. Have loads of fun & don't worry if you have a few treats - you deserve it!!

lmhall2000 - Tara - another 1lb bites the dust - good stuff!! I am so sorry you are under so much stress - moving is one of the most stressful things we go through even under the best circumstances - so you are doing it tough. You have made a positive decision to use Slimfast - I am sure it will help you a little with the comfort eating. Hugs to you!

PAdisMOM - well done another pound down!! I am sure you have made the right decision about changing your goal - you must be able to feel what is right for your body. It must feel great to be just a few pounds from your goal - go for it!!

AprilN - you are doing so well - and you are right - just think how good you will look at holiday events with the progress you have made!! Another 2lbs gone forever!!

robinb - fantastic a 2lb loss for the challenge - what a great start for you!! A special water bottle sounds like a good idea - I need all the help I can get to drink my water!! Good luck on the treadmill this week!!

Keep going guys,
Claire

I didn't get a chance to check in last week, but I had gone down .8 last week and then 1.8 this week for a total of 2.6 on this challenge. Hoping I can still make my mini-goal by the end of the year, but I seem to have slow weeks and then faster weeks, so hopefully it will round out.

So far not off to a great start for this week, but other weeks have started off worse, and ended sucessfully and next week is my TOM, so sometimes I get a bigger loss then for some reason - we'll see.

Not much time to surf today, but wanted to take a minute while DS was napping to do a quick check in. Hope everyone has a great week!

Another pound off for me - makes me 3/15. I'll have to get a move on I think - if I'm to reach my target!!

 

[disnygoof]

OOps! I'm kinda behind on posts - I'm sorry, it's been a hectic few weeks!

My first check in was zero (I had just started Atkins).

My second check in, down 1/20. Not as much as I'd hoped but I think my TOM is on its way. M

My weigh in days are Weds so my next one will be 11/26. See ya then!

Sorry for not checking in sooner, but I forgot I joined in on this challenge until just now. Also, I started a new job on November 1 and for the last few days I have been sick, so I have spent less time on the computer than I used to. I am down 2.4/5, so I am half way there. I am not sure how I am going to fare over the holidays, but I am still working my way onward and downward. Congrats to all, you all are doing such a great job.

Hello All - I hope you are enjoying the week and have decided on your Thanksgiving eating plans! Try and make good choices but have fun & don't be too hard on yourself. I am a lucky Brit here with no thanksgiving dinner to think about - make sure you all have fun!

JenEeyore - thanks for posting and 2.6lb is an excellent start to the challenge - you are right about the up and down weeks - bigger & smaller losses - I bet you can get to your target!

AlisonB - another pound gone is good stuff - well done you - there are still six weeks left of the challenge to get closer to that target - go for it!

disnygoof - hi, don't worry about not checking in - we all get to busy sometimes! Well done on the first pound for the challenge - I wish you a big whoosh fairy visit by the 26th - to get your further on your way!

 

[jillwdw]

I have lost 1 extra pound this week.

 

[honeymo78]

I lost 1 lb this week so only 10 more to go!

 

[Debbie]

Finally! 2 pounds down making me 3/13. 10 to go. I'll have to be really strong!

 

[Claire4dpins]

Well done on hanging in there guys - temptations are all around now, so we all have to be strong!

jillwdw - another pound bites the dust - well done & stick with it!

honeymo78 - a pound gone excellent - 10lb is doable in the time left for the challenge - go for it!!

Debbie - well done on the 2lb - I really hope that makes you feel better after a couple of slow weeks! I wish you a whoosh for next week to move you closer to the 13lb!!

 

[catherine]

I lost 4lbs this week which puts me at 10/20, so I'm half way to my New Year goal. However, I have a 16 day trip to WDW starting on Sun. so I may not be half way to my goal when I get back

 

[lmhall2000]

But I'm down again on this Tuesday- my official weigh day- I think I'm 3/16 for my New Year goal- I forget what I weighed when I started but I was at 182 this morning! YEAH!!! I have new motivation- just MAKE IT THROUGH THESE HOLIDAYS!! If I can get close to my New Years goal I'll be THRILLED. CONGRATS to all you guys who are plugging away and CHEERS to those of you like me who have had stalled weeks - you'll see the losses soon!!!

Tara

 

[Claire4dpins]

Great more check-ins - well done all!!

tiggerlover - I am so sorry I missed your post - you & I posted at the same time and I didn't read any posts above my last one - sorry!! 2.4lb - half way to you goal for this challenge is excellent - you are doing so well - especially with the stress of a new job to get used to! Hope you're feeling better!

catherine - another 4lb - you are doing SO well - I do wish I knew your secret!! Just think how great you are going to look and feel at WDW in a few days time! If you gain a little I am sure you will loose it and be back on track quickly. Have fun on holiday!!

lmhall2000 - well done on your next pound for the challenge! I agree that the tough times are here and we need all the motivation we can get to meet the challenge! if we can see any loss through this holiday season we will all be doing well!!

 

[jazyjewel]

Keep it up, everyone!
