Perfect timing for me! I'm in! My goal was 10 pounds because even on low carb I tend to lose slowly. I just started again 3 days ago.

I'm not allowed to weigh myself except once a week- It's something I've been obsessive with over the years- So I committed to my nutritionist and doctor that I would only weigh once a week... If you want me to start with next Sunday's weight let me know.

Cheryl, Great to have you on board. I get obsessive with weighing as well, and try to only do it once a week. But sometimes it is every day, then every few days, etc. Weigh in when you want, no set dates here. On your goal weight, did you mean 256?

I just really wanted to start this to get some motivation and support during the holiday feasts. I really need it as Thanksgiving is at my house this year.

Yes, I meant goal weight as 256! I'll post my updates on Sundays. Thank's for starting this end of the year goal; it's nice to have others to do it with.
Hi bmore4now

I'd like to join this challenge. I was in the 40lbs by Christmas challenge but I don't think that is going to happen. I've lost 40 lbs since I started LC after Memorial Day, but we have been away alot the last couple of months and with eating out and sometimes not having a scale to weigh in, I haven't lost much this past month. It's been a long time since I've been in the 160's and I weighed 170 the day before we left for vacation at the end of September. Then I gained almost 10 lbs back in the 10 days I was away.

This challenge looks achievable and will, hopefully, give me the incentive to get the next 15 lbs off.

Hello everyone
I'd love to join you. I'm bad too, I get on the scale every morning. But I only record what I actually am at on Sunday.

That's not really bad Kelly. Our bodies fluctuate day to day, moment to moment. I know my scale can say a difference in 2+ lbs sometimes overnight and I don't think I've lost that. A couple time I have weighed myself throughout the day after that and even then there is a big difference. So I weigh the same time, same clothes, same scale now and just monitor it.

Forgot to post yesterday.
