New Year, New You Challenge 2011

Is anyone interested in a New Year / January challenge? Is there an active one already that I couldn't find?

I love challenges and find them fun as well as motivating. If you'd like to join me, we can delelop our ideas for a challenge. I would suggest we each post our starting weight on Monday the 3rd and what our plan is for the month to reach a realistic weight loss goal.

Also to introduce ourselves so we can get to know each other.

Copy and Paste this template:

Dietary Goal for January~

Personal Goal for January~

Date Banded~

That's for keeping this going...but I don't see myself on the list.

I didn't even notice it cut off the list. Give me a few minutes and I'll have it fixed. Thanks for pointing it out!

Sorry for the late post! I had a crazay day :P Well earlier in this week I hit onederland (199.8). Today I'm back at 200.8. Oh well. I'm sure I'll see onederland again soon :P So I'm starting this challenge today at 200.8!

This is the correct chart! Sorry about that everyone!

:rolleyes:

Hi everyone. It has been difficult for me to get onto the computer the past several days but I wanted to say hello!

Everyone is doing so good! Keep it up everyone! The end of the month is almost here.

I have only been able to exercise a couple times since I last posted. I did throw in a few jogs with my walks on the tredmill. I am hoping this week is a little easier for me, time wise...

I did lose 2 pounds and finally broke the 230 mark. Before getting up to 250 over the last year, I hovered at 230 for a good year and a half so being that I saw the scale say 228, I am so super thrilled! It was inspiring.

I haven't been too bad with eating and exercise but I know I can do better so I am trying to use this inspiring 2 pounds to keep me motivated! Still hoping to hit at least 7 more by the end of the month!
