Thumbs up Easter challenge
I've had such a good time doing the Christmas challenge that I wanted to stick with it until Easter. Several folks have said they are keen too. If we succeed with our Easter challenge, perhaps we can treat ourselves to just a morsel of low-carb chocolate Easter egg.

I suggest we follow the Christmas challenge system. Post weight at start of challenge, goal weight, and current weight (with loss or gain). Weigh ourselves on Tuesdays and post an update report on Tuesdays or thereabouts. Eg Tortie - 252 - 227 - 232 down 20 in total (down 4). I'm setting myself the challenge of 20lbs by Easter cause I'm a weight-loss tortoise and want to set a realistic target. But please feel free to set your own target.

I'll show up for the first session on 30 December so I don't go too far off track over Christmas and cause I want to hit 2004 running.

Please join me.

Tortie, I would love to join your Easter challange. My name is Tasha. I started LCing December 1 of this year, so I'm still kinda new. When I started LCing I weigh 185. My goal is to reach a weight of 125. Time will tell I guess when I start getting small if I need to go that low. In just the two weeks that I have been on the diet I have lost a total of 16lbs. I can tell in some areas that I have lost. Like my legs and in my bra's. Which I walk a mile and a half a day. Starting Monday I start my sit-ups and some others with the walking. I just wanted to say COUNT ME IN FOR THE CHALLANGE and GOOD LUCK TO ALL. Can't wait to meet each of my fellow LC friends.

Tataleigh2- 185 - 125 - 169 down 16 so far as of last Monday

I've been doing the New Year's challenge and it really motivated me so I'm in for this one as well!

I'm at 163 right now so I'm going to put my goal for Easter at 148. I'm hoping I can lose that much, as I generally (except this past week for some reason) lose very slowly. If I meet that goal I'll have 15 more to lose before I reach my ultimate goal (or the goal I'm trying to reach before I decide if I need to go lower).

hi everyone

Count me in - I also followed the Christmas Countdown Challenge, and found it really helpful & motivating. I will still keep my weigh-in's to a friday ( just dont want to break that habit - or I know I will get tempted to start weighing myself several times a week and then I will just get obsessed with the scales).
Having said that I will weigh myself on Thursday this week ( yep how sad Christmas Day) and that can be my starting weight - intend to go off the wagon a bit for that day only, so I will then have a week to repair the damage ha ha

As for my target, im gonna go for 20lb's loss - gonna be a huge challenge as im getting closer to my goal, but theres nothing like a bit of positive (wishful!!!!) thinking !!!

Hope everyone has a great Christmas and I will catch up with you all soon !

Take Care

Lisa x

Lets start getting this list off and try to get it order. So put you name on the list and put it in order so Tortie wont have to take all the time to put it in alphabetical order. We can do it for her. Good luck everyone see you in a week. Boy just did my weight 20 pounds from now boy that looks so good. I can’t wait for the day I am down past 200 pounds. That is a day everyone will hear from me loud and clear. I will be yell at all of you so hold on to your hat when that day comes. I am going to go back to the induction after the holidays. So hope that will make me lose some of that 7 pounds faster.

I am also part of the Valentine's Challenge so this fits in with my goals too. I intend to lose 15lbs by Valentine's day with a mini-goal of 20 by March 31. I guess then, I should set my bar accordingly.

Easter is April 11 correct? 16 weeks away from today. My current weight is 213, which will take me to 198 by Feb 14, 193 by March 31 (which I am sure will be surpassed) and... say a big target of 185lbs for Easter. That's a total of 28lbs (1.75lbs per week). A healthy goal wouldn't you say?

What a fantastic response - I'm delighted to see people joining up. Thanks, Imaloser, after did my first post I remembered at the start of Christmas challenge how confusing it got with lots of people joining and thought we better get organised asap otherwise its so hard to keep track of who's who. A reminder for the future as we go along, please try to copy and paste the latest list so we don't lose peoples stats.

If you are joining - please copy this list and add yourself in - names in alphabetical order because I'm hoping we'll have lots of others joining us.

I'm sorry about that. My goal is to reach 125 lbs for Easter. That would be putting me to lose about two to three pounds a week. I can do it. Goos luck all. Tasha

Hello All,

I started the LC WOL after giving birth to my 4th child, 1st son. I went from 180 lbs to 170lbs but gained it all back after being laid off mid-November. I am ready to re-commit to this lifestyle as it is important for me to feel good about myself. I figure I can at least control what I put in my mouth if I can't control anything else.

Mini goals:

170 lbs by 12/31/03
165 lbs by 01/15/04
160 lbs by 02/01/04
155 lbs by 02/14/04
150 lbs by 02/23/04 32nd
145 lbs by 03/05/04
140 lbs by 03/20/04
135 lbs by 03/31/04
130 lbs br EASTER
