Ok folks it's back. It's that time of the year to eat, drink, and be merry! It's also that time to gain a fourth chin and a third ass. So to those of us who want to avoid that last part we will be having a December weight loss challenge. Just like in September feel free to post as little or as much as you would like on the weigh in days. We can use the same weigh in dates so post your results on:

12/1
12/8
12/15
12/22
12/29

Good luck to all and remember you're not just prolonging your life, but also shortening your hangover!

    Count me in for 5 pounds. I'm having surgery on my foot next week so I won't be able to report the weight loss till I get the caste off but I'm still in. Guess I'll have a strict diet....no exercise for me!

    Do whatever you need to do to lose weight. Exercise more, eat less, crack, training dogs for fighting, 24 hour masturbation marathon, whatever. Then come by once a week to log your process. When people attempt things as a group better results usually will arise.

    i'm with ya!
    i've been working on a 'lifestyle' plan/change for a good while....lost i think about 25 lbs since january....slow and steady. used to be so thin...ad then, not :o...hahaha. got back in shape a couple years ago and then didn't stick with it. :( so thus the new 'plan'.....and the slower loss. it's all good tho, i definitely want to allow my indulgences but absolutely stay focused on my long term goals......so i'm in! i'll report pound changes.


    btw - i think the 'plan' is simply to encourage all with their weightloss goals, and a bit of 'reporting' helps to keep the focus.


    i definitely want to be a new me in 2008.....hope to reach my goal for valentine's day! :D

    Okay. I'm in. I've lost about 50 pounds since July and I'm hoping to have about 10 more off by the end of the year. I really need the encouragment since my roommate thinks I would be happier if I just put the 50 back on plus a little more (he's a really overweight, and I think a little jealouse).

    This is going to be hella difficult for me considering I have a baby shower, my birthday, and Christmas all in one month. But by golly I'm gonna try!

    i think im around 195-200 for the first time in my life and wanna get back to 175 where i should be. it's not really noticeable except in a little extra padding in the gut, but i can feel it and don't like it. i havent been able to get in an exercise routine though.

    I am exactly where you are! 198lbs and wanting to get down to 175. I have a fairly consistant exercise routine of 3-4 times a week for 1-1.5 hours (plus the crack intake).

    well i managed to celebrate my birthday and thanksgiving, a 4 day weekend/celebration, and while i didn't LOSE any weight...i also managed NOT to GAIN any either. given how i indulged in some food and drink....tis good, and doable. i figure if i am diligent on the 'off' days, i can still indulge and manage to lose too over the course of the month. as i mentioned earlier, i am losing a LOT more slowly, but i am also managing to do so while still 'living'...and i think for me, that 'balance' is the key for lifelong changes, and getting into my sexyass jeans again in the new year. :D

    I'm in.

    I've been carrying a spare tire around for far too long.

    I guess this means I'll need to buy a scale. And my goal is to lose a healthy, slow and steady 2-3 lbs a week.

    okay...if someone will bug the hell outta me to actually get up off my lazy bum and work out, i'm totally down for this challenge...i love a challenge :) i always get off to a great start and then get off track...boo!

    this would be the perfect opportunity for me to actually utilize the workout armband that i just bought for my ipod!! it's still sitting in the packaging on my counter.

    i will conservatively say that i'd like to lose 5 pounds. with 10 pounds being my stretch goal!!
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    I am so in.. I am still trying to reach my 50lb weight loss goal. I want to wear a bikini for the first time ever this summer.

    Back in college I reached 203lbs, then dropped a lot some due to atkins, and then gained some of it back, but not all of it.. so I started a healthy life style of watching calories, and portions, and no snacking.. I also joined a gym. So in March I started my goal of losing 50lbs, and wearing a bikini this summer, and I am down 33 of those 50 pounds.. Having to report in, might help me. I've been at a standstill for a little while.

    This sounds interesting, though I am not willing to post my weight on here. I've definitely put on a few pounds in the last year with my schedule and my drinking habits... it's way past time to lose it. This could be a good motivation for me.

    I'm all over this.

    Since I quit smoking 3 weeks, 4 days, 21 hours and 15 seconds ago, I have gained 9 lbs and I feel disgusting! It is -almost- to the point where I want to smoke again!

    That is insane and I'm embarassed to feel that way. :( I really need to hit the gym and hopefully, this Challenge will help motivate me.

    Good luck everyone and is there a prize? :D

    I'm in. It will be a hoot because I tried to lose weight over two months this summer, and I lost . . . 1 POUND! Obviously, I need a different approach then what I had this summer, eh?

    I'm totally in awe of those that can accomplish their weight goals. I can accomplish my running goals, and that may be the foundation of what I can accomplish with this challenge.

    We shall see. . .
