Weight Goal Challenge For New Year's Day

We have entered into the "ember" months! Which for me means having to always keep my weight in check... so much rich sweet foods and less working out due to the outside coldness. Well I'm absolutely DETERMINED to change this habit this year.

Who's with me?

My challenge to all of you is to have some kind of weight scale goal to reach by January 1st. I being at goal will make mine very minimal. The reason being I'm not really interested in losing weight per se, but being around the same weight by the time this Winter Season ends. So my goal will be to weigh 165 Lbs. Sounds excellent to me! =) Who else is on board with me? I'm looking for some Ole Timers to join in as well!! =))

Typically in challenges like this most will keep checking in and mentioning how much they have lost. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THIS!! I will probably not check in as much since I'm already at goal. But I will be checking in to cheer all of you on who are trying to lose more weight.

ALL THIS SAID, please remember it is good to challenge yourself - however it is NOT good to beat yourself up if you're not losing as fast as you would like. Our bodies will lose the weight at it's own rate. The important thing is, is to keep eating healthy, drinking plenty of Water, and giving our bodies physical activity. As long as you're doing this, you WILL lose the weight.

Good luck!! :)

I want to revise my goal for Jan.

Previously I said I wanted to be 185 by then (was 208 then) but I am now 192.So I think I will drop it with 10 pounds and try for 175 by 1 January 2013.Will revise again if needed.

Hi,I am 175 today so will revise my goal again.I like this...lol

Am going on a big family holiday reunion in South Africa so I dont want to set too steep a goal.If I can lose 3 pounds in the next 3 weeks I wll be more than happy!

Stalled again but confident I will drop to my goal 241 I'm currently 263 I can do it!!
