Celebrate the New Year with a New You Challenge

[cindyg1212 0]

Congrats to those who are losing weight on this challenge! Me? I had gained 4 to bring me to 195 and lost 4 these past few days with my little fill. So back to 191. Hopefully I'll cross over into the 180's in a few days.

Bandpal, you can hit those food groups in one town. I can't eat pizza either but my family thinks its funny when I strip the cheese off and leave the dough which cuts out half the calories. The cheese is the best part anyway.

Bandpal - in the south there are only two food groups - deep fried everything and Mexican.

doesn't look like I'm going to make goal this challenge, but I'll take a 12 pound loss during the holiday season with no complaints, thank you. And remember - it ain't over yet!

The New Year challenge is officially over and the winner is.....Bandpal with a 10.5 lb loss!! Lindata was also a winner as she achieved her goal with an extra pound to spare!!

Time for a new challenge. How about a Valentine challenge or should we take the next one to spring? Any thoughts or ideas?

Congrats to Bandpal and Lindata!!!

I'm ready for a new challenge! You know me I love them. The first day of spring is March 20. Valentine's Day is a little over 4 weeks away. Why don't we go for a Spring challenge. That gives us closer to 8 weeks. I'm getting close to my ideal weight. Maybe in 8 weeks I can get there.

[cindyg1212 0]

Then spring it is, Wendy. I'll try to come up with something catchy. Congrats on getting so close to goal. I hope this is the year that we all see that magic number on the scale!

[Sades 4]

Oh well another challenge down by the wayside for me. This is a great time to start a new one now that all the major eating is over. Look forward to the Spring (Autumn :wink_smile:) Challenge.

[shortgal 5]

I actually saw my goal weight of 168 for like ONE day in Dec. Then the holidays came and a run in with a box of cupcakes!!! Well, you get the idea.

Anyway, I will weigh myself tomorrow and join the new challenge. Winter is a tough time for me. I hate the cold weather and do not get my walking in, so it has to be a lot of food control for me, not easy without a band, but I'll do my best. I always consider it a win for me if I just stay the same!
