My Birthday is Nov 5th!

Also I'd like to join this challenge as well. I hope to lose 80 pounds in total. the first 60 I'd like to get off during induction and OWL. Then lose the last 20 slowly in pre-maintainance. My goals are already posted in my siggie.

Count me in, too, please. I'd LOVE to have at least 50 more off and 70 would be even better!!! You may have to drag me along-I have good intentions, but you know the road to h*** is paved with good intentions! I've been pumping myself up to the Jan. 3 start-when the kids go back to school-eat healthy, LC foods and exercise--one huge downfall-I hate to sweat!

Count me in - I weigh-in on Sunday's so my start day for this challenge will be Jan 1 with a finish date of Dec 29. Of course I will be using local time which means most of you will still be waiting for the clock to tick over the New Year when I weigh-in.

Based on my Christmas Day weight, 50 lbs will get me to goal.

And I almost split the difference on the November birthdays - mine is on the 11th and this year will be #45 for me.

wow... another time zone. Happy new year in Austrailia! I've still got almost 12 hours to go!!!

My New Years may have gotten squashed by the storms. freeways between my house and friends house is currently closed. I don't think they can get here. We are flooding all over the place. I'm safe in my little corner. But it's really bad 20 minutes away in Rio Vista and Sacramento. It's just horrible. I've been glued to the TV all day watching. Now I'm going to clean and cook in hopes that we get to have our gathering tonight.

Cheryl - sounds terrible. I hope the flooding subsides real quickly.

Ok my starting weight for this challenge is 181 lbs which means I managed to lose 0.5 lbs since Christmas Day. Should have done better but I ate some chips yesterday (naughty me). I will aim for a loss of 50 lbs by Dec 29.

Count me in too.Starting back on Jan.1/06.

Happy New year to all my fellow challengers

I'm planning to start from 3 January as Tuesday is my usual weigh in day. Will check in then with my starting stats.

WOW! We have a lot of scopios (ms) on this site!

Cheryl, I hope th flooding stops! My sister lives in Carmichael Calif...anywhere near you?

I will hopefully buy my scale today and give a TRUE weigh in by tomorrow. I'm also doing this with my manager at work. She's really pumped up for it. It'll be nice to have that little extra support along with all of ya'll!

Happy New Year!

I have updated the list and hope I didn't miss anyone. Be sure and add your name in in alphabetical order and your starting weight. Please be sure you use the most current list. This looks like a great group, we need to make a goal to at least update once a week, with a post to keep yourself active. I have been in this challenge with Cheryl since she started the first one in 2004 and people usually start dropping like flies after a month or so, so hope everyone sticks around for the duration of this challenge! Best of luck to everyone and lets be the biggest losers of all for 2006!

I would like to Join all of you and lose 55 lbs in 2006. My first goal will be to make it past a month here cuz I seem to lose so much more slowly and get soooo discouraged and give up bit I really need to do this for my health so count me in!

I slept until noon today. We were celebrating until about 2:30 am, then a little pick up and dish soaking before heading to bed.

I'm ready to rock and roll this year! Like Donna (golflady) I'm hoping we all stick it out to the end of the year and become great friends.

goat lady -- Yes, I am probably less than an hour form Carmichael (that's in the Sacramento area right?) Is your sister's house etc ok. It's actually some of the rural areas and close to rivers and streams that are having the worst of times. My neighbor hood is fine.

I couldn't believe how many people called us last night to ask the side streets here in Fairfield. Interstate 80 is closed through our whole town. I had called my friends coming down from woodland and told them the back roads ahead of time, but a normally 30 minute trip took them 90 or more minutes with 80 being so backed up.

Good luck to everyone this year on your weight loss journeys. I'm glad I have you all to share it with.
