Default The "I'm starting the New Year with a smaller waist" challenge!

Okay, I am back in the game starting today and I need a new challenge to get me through to the new year! I know there are already a lot of christmas challenges, but who cares! Who wants to play anyways?

How do you wanna look in 2008? Pick your goal weight for January 1, 2008 and weigh in as you want! I need A LOT of support so I will be weighing in once a day (hopefully) but for others once a week may work! We have 93 days (13 weeks!)! Let's start the new year off right!

Copy and paste the following chart and add yourself to the list in alphabetical order. Then we can just update the same chart every time! Hope that makes sense!

Oh and let's also make this a social thing - lets talk about some of our other goals for the upcoming year!

I'm in. I've got to stop messing around and get serious. Next spring I have to look for a job, so I really need to get smaller. Thanks for starting this thread, I need support too.

Oh, and for the next three months I am also committing to not drinking. It's become a regular habit. I don't think I'm an alcoholic and I don't get drunk, but I'm a grad student and this isn't helping.

Welcome Tom and Biketowork!

Biketowark - that is an excellent committment! Honestly, I totally know what you mean. I am a third year university student and i spend at least 2 nights a week drinking, sometimes more. My new rule is going to be that I can have 1 or 2 drinks each time, but i can't keep up my excessive drinking.

We'll see how it goes! I really wanna do this!!

Kate

Hi!

I'd like to join too!! Especially the drinking-thing convinced me at last I still have some exams in October and after that will start my Master-Thesis, and I also have to be more careful about my drinking.
I also have a wedding in November, my mums 60ths birthday to celebrate this year, and next year another wedding and I will be aunt in april, and I want to look good at all those occasions, and especially wanna be a hot-looking-cool-aunt

Hi

Yay Kate! 3 pounds on day one! And yay me! One pound down.

I looked at the PPLP book last night to remember the differences between it and Atkins -- they think I should eat seven eggs for breakfast, a half pound of meat for both lunch and dinner minimum at my size! Uh, I don't think that would be effective. I'll stick with Atkins. I also want to quit snacking and just eat three meals. I'm given to mindless munching, and even though it's LC, it's slowing things down a lot. So it ends today. That's my current strategy.

I've toyed with joining the IF trend, but I don't want to be distracted all morning with thinking about when I get to eat next.

Allison
