Default New Year's Resolution for Christmas

SEND ME YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL so I can send you updates and stuff!
Thanks!



From the blog:

A real New Year’s Resolution to be ready for Christmas?

I am thinking…I always freak out about losing weight for Christmas…or decide to do lose weight as a New Year’s resolution… I mean…that is…until about Jan 14th…

so…my question and thought is…how about a reverse challenge…a with a new kindov resolution?

What I mean is…why don’t we stop waiting until then to get serious…and just do it now, slow steady and healthy…so we can enjoy the holidays!?

According to this website, we have 7 months (Countdown Clock) or so before Jan 1st 2009!

That is :

224 days

5379 hours

322773 minutes

19366436 seconds

is that a long time…or not? forever…or just right around the corner?

I see it is a long term challenge/goal…one that will require you have to have a REAL New Year’s RESOLUTION to make it there!

Imagine Christmas with less of you to share with your family! The compliments, the freedom, shopping, dressing up, the gift it would be to yourself…

It could be one of the best Christmas presents you ever gave or got!

Ok, who's in?

This is great! Okay, 7 months?? Well then, I figured that in order to meet my goal I have to lose approx. 6-8 pounds in these next 7 months. Total 50 pounds to my goal weight. And that really is a healthy doable amount. The question is? Can I stick to it??? I think yes. Plus, I hardly think I would be dissappointed with myself if I only lose 30 or 40 by then....LOL

Let's do this thing!!

I'm in too

I want to lose just 28 lbs by Christmas - I want to be 140. It's possible - just 4 lbs a month, 1 lb a week.

I divided and got that it is 32 weeks until Christmas. I want to lose at least one pound a week until then, if I make it I will be 207 pounds by then, how awesome would that be? Maybe I should make my motto, 199 by 2009. LOL Great idea Chrisie!

Should we do our starting weights this upcoming Saturday?
