Good morning VST! Let's challenge ourselves and get motivated! It was a good suggestion by MINI-Me, so let's do it! Who's in it to win it during the Holidays? This will not be an easy task, but we are SLEEVERS and we definitely have the law of physics on our side. The challenge ends January 1, 2011.

Here's what you do, simply copy and paste the last posted list to a new post and add your name to the bottom. I'll do my best to keep them in alpha order by screen name. GOOD LUCK!! :-)

I just had to share that I reached my goal today! I've lost -35lbs in 2 months since surgery and 16lbs since we started this thread. I am over the moon happy! Hopefully I'll be below goal by New Year's Day!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Ok, I'm calling my weight as of today -- I lost 17 pounds total since the beginning of the challenge (not bad) -- if I lose more I just start with the new Valentines day challenge. I think if it had not been the holidays I might have made my goal, but heck, I think I did pretty well Thanks everyone, this was fun!

I hoPed to be out of the 200's today, but the holidays were good to me Losing 10 lbs in a month isn't anything I should be complaining about though....its been many years since I've been able to do that!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
