Rabbits and Turtles United New Year Challenge

[DeLarla 22]

Vegas doesn't have a lottery or scratch off cards, plus whoever wins would have to mail their winning tickets all over the US to collect $2 or a free ticket here and there. Just scratch my idea, sounded fun for a sec.

why do we have to ancell the idea Lisa?? I loke the idea of sending a SMALL gift less than 10 including postage to the biggest looser!!

Lets do that!!!

OK now I'm really motivated!! I do not have any adults to buy gifts for me...I want presents from strangers!!! You guys all know we ARE strange right, some of us stranger than others..lol

Okay, I'm in for this challenge. Sadly, I had to go revise my ticker UP since the end of the Fall challenge. I've put off doing this as it SOOOO discourages me, but time to get clean and BACK to work... or working out as it were. My exercise was minimal over the holidays and omigosh WHAT a difference it makes.

It's not like I don't already KNOW that. Since I always feel so much better when I'm working out regularly why the heck to I take breaks from it? Oh well, I'll try to stop beating myself up now. If I can go a week without feeling dissapointed in myself it would be a BIG NSV.

An even 180 to start. By the end of this challend I want to in the 160's.

More gifts, I'm in!

NSV, helped my secretary clean her new place, including the refridgerator, I had practically my entire body in that thing, cleaning every inch of it, in a squat position. Before I wouldn't have been able to fit into the fridge, or bed over that long, much less squat, stand, squat, stand, kept getting up to change the nasty Water. AND, I wasn't even sore the next day, but she was, and she's 30 years younger than me, LOL.

I'm in, sounds like a good time.

My NSV is kind of an SV; Over the last few months I crept from 225 to 230, and somehow between about the 15th of December to today I managed to get back down to 225. So, I'm 225 and I Lost weight during the holidays!

I get banded on Monday!!!! I would like to participate in this too. I want to start being accountable from the start!!! I just have to figure out all this stuff on here first?

[lianna 3]

I'm in! This will be my first challenge!

1/3/06 214 lbs. (goal to be 204 at end of challenge)

NSV had to hook my bra in the LAST hooks to keep it from riding up my back

[SherryW 4]

Is there a minimum amount of weight you have to set your goal to? Not banded yet so I have no clue if I can lose more than 10 pounds in that amount of time.

[Maggie63 0]

i am in!!! official weight on 3 Jan is 255 goal for march is 230

nsv i am in an 18w...have not been there for a long time!! yoo hoo!!

[SherryW 4]

Thank you Debbydo for the info and I accept the challenge! I'm not banded but, since the surgeon would like to see 10 pounds gone for surgery this will be great. Since I'm not banded yet my goal is 10 pounds and to exercise at least 4 days a week.

BRING IN ONNNNN sistas and brothas! (Oh my, where did that come from....God please help me )

These Non scale Victories are AWESOME!!!!!!!! We are in some definitely good company here. Cheers to us!

There's another challenge going with a bootcamp twist - I think I'm joining that also - in this case more support and accountability is better!!!

Have a great week.
