Weight Loss/Health Challenge

[Sunshine O'Brightly]

I've been reading several posts of people who are trying to lose weight. I was just wondering if anyone would like to join me in doing a weight loss challenge - kindof like they do on Weight Watchers.

For example - I set a challenge for myself today of losing 10 lbs by Sept. 18 - Tablerock Fantasy Faire date. It's a short term goal that I think I can do. Dr. says I need to lose 50 pounds, but hat's just a little bit more than I can get my mind around.

Someone else might set an excercise challenge like "exercise 3x/week. Or whatever. Maybe just stay on your chosen plan each day.

We could check in with each other every day and support each other's goals. Any takers? Oh by the way - I'm on WW and try to stay as low starch as possible.

sure! you're on! I'll bite. I've been trying to drop the weight I put on. Since I can't get to the gym right now with the hours that I work, I just have to eat better.

Excellent! Are you joining me in my challenge or do you have one specific to yourself?

Count me in, too! I've had some setbacks recently - gained back about 5 or 6 pounds and need to get my booty (and the rest of me) remotivated.

I think 10# in 6 weeks should be reasonable, don't you? And I'm going to add in doing yoga at least 2x a week.

Thank you for this suggestion Sunshine!

I'll join you in yours. It's a goal for me to start with!

Great idea about the yoga 2x/week. I'll add that to mine too. I really need to strengthen up. Glad you joined us Absinthe.

I joined a challenge at work that started July 27th for four weeks. It is a loose what you can and the greatest % lost wins the pot. Well at Tuesday's weigh in, I had lost 6 lbs.. ;) I am in 2nd place.

I too will join the challenge to loose. However, I will just keep doing what I have been doing. ;)

Wow - you go girl. I hope the pot is huge!

Hi everybody! Hope your weekends were great. Mine was a bit of a challenge - diet wise. But, I'm planning for a good week.

Just wanted to check in.

Me too (re: challenging weekend) - it's PMS time, so my chocolate craving monster was at it. Lucy had a great suggestion about buying the sugar-free fudsicles to have during that time. But I've already downed two bottles of water, and had my Dannon Light-n-Fit smoothie, so it's a good start!
