I am so in!!!! I want to lose more than a hundred but by Jan 1, 2009 I want to be 100 pounds lighter!!! I am so happy to see i'm not the only one!!! Let do it group!!!! We can do it!!!

WOW! I was hoping to get 1 or 2 people to join but this is awsome!!!!

SBmama37: That is funny that it was your resolution too. Great minds really do think alike! Welcome!

Synne: I am secretly hoping for more than a 100lb weight loss also, maybe we will be pleasantly surprized! Thanks for joining

JustKate: My name is Kate too! Welcome and even 85 in a year is awsome.

AmandaLee: In 2008 we will all be atleast 75lbs lighter, Welcome!

ldypgmr: 50 is a big year, what a perfect birthday present to give yourself! Welcome!

Mr. E: Thanks for joining. I agree with breaking the year into sections. I am planning on loosing between 8 and 10 lbs a month.

Vbea: Dont be nervous and scared we are here to help each other, although I was a little scared to start this challenge I had been thinking about it for 2 weeks before I acctually got the courage to post it. Welcome! And congratualations on taking that ever important first step. The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step!

ChrisCanDo: Welcome! I understand about falling off the wagon atleast you got back on before gaining it all back like I did. I get obsessed with numbers as well thats why I decited on once a month.

Gidget1007: Congratulations 9.5lbs is awsome! Welcome!

Rocks: Welcome! 2 Pounds a week, when you put it that way it sounds even more realistic.

LCqtpie: Welcome! We CAN do it!

Okay guys lets get this started. If everyone can head over the "official" thread in the challenge forum and post their start weight/currentweight/goal weight/pounds lost. I would put in a link to the thread but I dont know how, so if anyone else knows how go for it.


WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!

yaya im very excited! Everyone's going to rock this! I can tell!

As long as it is OK I will post my losses in here. Do with them what you will.

Week one (ending 1/13) Loss: 18.6 pounds.

Big boy - lots of water loss - etc. But YES...18.6 pounds in one week. Won't happen again. :-)

I will post my weight loss here as well. I want to combine lots of exercise with the weight loss. I have been watching the biggest looser and they don't have a lot of loose skin once they are at goal!!! Count me in for that as well.

I ordered several of the Biggest Looser exercise CD's. I can sure buy into the amount of weight they loose each week!!!

I think this will get you to the challenge thread for the 100 pounds lost in 2008

But I am hoping we can post here as well because when I have just a few minutes online, TDC is usually the place I go to check in.


WOW Mr. E! That is a fabulous first week

Thanks again Mrs. K for starting this contest!

Hey all. I'd like to join in. I'd love to lose 100 lbs this year, but I'd be really, really happy with just 61 if that's all I can manage.

I put together a chart last night, for goal weight, actual weight and measurements.. and dates every 2 weeks. Figuring on 5/week for the first month, and 2.5/week after that.. I *should* reach my goal by the end of September.

Never had an over eating problem, but my thyroid's proven itself a force to be reckoned with. I think we may have beaten it into submission, and figure I may have a chance now. I'm on Armor Thyroid and now DHEA also. I've given up on cardio, and finally decided that the key to me losing weight is to just slab on some muscle like crazy. I think all of that, combined with low carb (which has proven the only way I can lose weight at all!) should be a powerful enough combo to get me there!

Thanks for the kind words MrsK..I am really trying to stay focused on following this.I haven't weighed in yet (on day 3)but my starting weight is 340.4.
One day at a time.

Me to me to... I want to lose at least 100 lbs this year, more would be great, and if I don't make it to 100, okay, but I want to be close....
My weigh in will be on saturdays, so I will post then or on mondays, (I dont' use the computer much over the weekend, - tho maybe I will change that.)
currently 350...

Post wherever you would like! I will bounce back and forth but will keep everyones weights on both threads. I get confused easy so if I make a mistake let me know and I will fix.

JustKate: Another pound, that is awsome

Mr.E: 18.5 is unheard of! Wonderful!

Way to go everyone! I posted on the other thread, But will also keep my eye on this one. It is nice to be able to lose weight and have the support of others who like me need to lose over 100 pounds.

Count me in, I have just under 100lbs left to lose but I'm hopping on!! I'm with misterE I chop my goal into chunks, my first being to get below 200lbs by May! I know we can do it!!!
