With the Turkey Day Challenge ending in Nov., I wanted to present a new challenge called "New Year, New You!" that will start in Nov. to overlap.

I am currently part of the Turkey Day challenge but when I reach that, it will not put me at my goal so therefore I want to be prepared with another goal. So here it is.

I know there are many of you who did not participate in the Turkey Day for various reasons (you were just banded, you found out about it too late ect.) So here is a great opportunity for you to get involved in a challenge!

The challenge will begin on Nov. 1st and go through Jan. 1st. I wanted to post this early so that people would have enough time to find out about this and decided on a goal for themselves!

Here is a google spreadsheet(much like the Turkey Day) where you can enter all your information. Don't forget to rate this thread high so we can get it up to the top so there will be lots of users in on this challenge just like Turkey Day!!!

How did everyone do during Thanksgiving????? I went a little overboard on leftovers...

I did ok - I ate small quantities thats the beauty of this thing though my cals were still full of fat and such. I was also due for a fill so I did get a couple of days of actually getting up to 2000 cals but I ate some junk. Anyway cost me 3 lbs then I went to Dr for the fill and she went more aggressive cuz all I lost was 2 lbs in the month. Now the weight is dropping like a stone mainly because I am a bit overfilled but doing better now. Able to hold down mushies finally after 4 days... Up to yesterday I was mainly on liquids (3 days).

Hi Ladies - I have lost 7.2 so far, with 7.8 to go for my goal of 194! Thanks to a pretty major level of restriction, I might just make it.

Hope everyone is slaying those pounds!

Woot!!! This morning I met my goal!!! I'm now 75 pounds down total!!! I can't believe I lost weight over the holiday...I ate and drank everything I wanted (a tiny bit of the bad stuff mind you, but even a cookie or two a day and plenty of alcohol). I love my band! Just 6 more pounds and I'll be 'NORMAL'!!! Thanks for the Challenge!

I finished only one pound away from my goal, but I'll take it! One more pound to a 25lb loss!

well I got nowhere near my goal, I had a few setbacks both mental and physical but I am not discouraged I am ready for 2010 !

My goal was to be 199 lbs. by TODAY and I'm currently 180.8 lbs.!!! Feels great to have met my goal and then some.

Happy New Year! :biggrin:

WOW!!! How did you do that? Are you exercising a lot? I noticed this week that I am not working I was able to lose 4 lbs in a week! Due to the increase in activity! But I started getting fatigued so I upped my calories. ANyway that is AWESOME!!!

Actually, I don't exercise nearly as much as I should be. That's one of my new year's resolutions- to make it to the gym at least 6 days a week! Mostly I am just careful with what I eat, I follow the "rules" exactly. I follow a low-carb diet and I think that helps the most.
