Weight Goal Challenge For New Year's Day

[POOHBEAR7699 41]

I am so for this challenge. As of yesterday morning I am 194.4lbs, my goal for New Years Day is 160lbs which I haven't seen in 17yrs. Once I get there I will re-evaluate things and decide if I want to stay at that weight or shoot for the last 20lbs before my 1yr post op appt w/my surgeon in March.

I've been waiting for a challenge Yay! I'm currently 236 and will aim for 199. Oh wow that sounds so onederful!! I was 21 the last time I weighed under 200. That was 30 yrs ago. OMG that's such a crazy long time ago. And that was after dieting at the time. So it's on like donkey kong! Good luck everybody lets do this????

This is my first VST challenge, I was sleeved 8/31.

Today I weigh 205 and I hope to be at 175 by 1/1.

I have some activity goal which should help me get there:

I want to be able to run 2 miles straight by then.

I also want to be working with a trainer on a regular basis.

Let's DO THIS!!!!!

Ok' date=' I'm in. I'm also in the Halloween contest. I would like to be 135 (goal) or a size 6 by December 31st, whichever comes 1st. I'm 166.6 so 31.6 lbs to go in 3 1/2 months. I think I can do it. I'm also training for a half marathon so my fitness goal is also to run 10 miles without stopping and at least a 12 minute mile. I'm only up to 4 1/2 miles at 13 minutes. I have a ways to go. If i keep running tge weight should hopefully come off.

Good luck everyone!!!

I haven't posted on here since my original post above. I'm at 161.2 and running a little over 5 miles at a stretch. I might be revising my final goal to 145 now. Saw my doctor this week and he thinks 135 is too thin for my large frame. I will get to 145 and re-evaluate it. Good luck everyone.

My goal is to lose 20 lbs by 1/1/13. That would put me at 150 lbs, and only 15 lbs from goal weight. My other goal is to be better with my physical activity, it has been so hard for me because of neuropathy in both my feet. So I hearby promise to get back to swimming regularly, at least 3 times a week.

[nadoue 158]

I am so in. I should remain 148, crossing fingers not to lose!

[Tamara Carter 22]

I dont get sleeved until 12/18 but I would like to join. I currently am at 230 pounds, and my goal is by Jan 1 to be in Onederland. I hope to get to at least 215 by December 1st. That is when I will be in Disney World.

[soccermomx2 111]

I'm in - it is always so hard to pick a goal that is both a personal challenge but also within reach to attain. So here goes

Start weight = 278

Surgery weight (7/17/12) = 267.6

Today (10/13/12) = 225.1

January 1, 2013 goal = 185

[lsereno 2,525]

I'm in! Like Lovely Little Miss Diva, I'm at goal, but I want to stay there. My goal is 135, and my bounce range is 5 lbs. either way. I'd like to hit New Year's Day sqaurely at goal: 135. I'll be weighing in on Fridays. I'm grateful to have this challenge to help me in maintenance. I've been at goal six months, and I notice that I have to be more careful of snack creep these days. It's a choice every day. But seeing my beautiful little clothes and moving like a gazelle instead of lugging around makes it easier to choose the apple over the apple turnover.
