Dawnie and I tossed around some words about this, but I decided to do it! So, if anyone wants to join me, this is basically a goal oriented challenge. The goal is something you'd like to accomplish before going home/seeing family again after a long time. Just post your goal and we'll all work towards it together

I'm going home in March and I want to be under 200 lbs by then!

I will not be going home or seeing anyone in my family until almost the end of June. And my goal is to be down to 160 lbs. It should be doable by then. I would really like to be down to 150, but 160 would satisfy me.

I am not going to be seeing any distant family til probably christmas and I hope to be around 165 at least by then. I am not really rushing things. but I have alot of family gatherings coming up So if it is ok I will just set a goal for each one as they come along. My neices b-day is coming up at the end of march and I would really like to try and be down at least 10 pounds by then I think I can do it then my other neices b-day is mid may and I would like to have another 5 pounds gone by then. We tend to have alot of family at the little kids parties so it would be great if I could make progress before hand.

I too am going home in March for the first time in almost four months.

I want to be down ten pounds. Period.

Well my mom is coming to Spain to visit me for Easter so i would really like to be down 10 pounds. I believe that would make it about one pound a week, which is what I am aiming for. Slowly but surely. Just also want to say that this is a good idea, cuz it is so nice to hear your family and friends who haven´t seen you for awhile say how nice you look. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

Welcome Elizabeth, Dawnie, Beth, and Jenny!!

Hey everyone! Sorry I was MIA, school kicked my butt this week I'm sleep deprived, constipated, and filled with sodium now! But... Next week I'm going to work on my sleeping/time management. I have trouble sleeping without my hubby but he's been staying up until 1-2 in the morning, which is not good for me... so I just need to bite the bullet and go to bed early, and wake up early to workout (I bought another TBL dvd!) Hopefully he'll get tired of not seeing me and change his sleeping too, but I doubt it.. lol ah well. He's such a whiney little creature of habit. LOL

I probably won't see mine until Christmas also, but there's always a chance that they'll pop in during summer. I'd love to be in the low 300's or less. I know I can do it by Christmas, but the mid 300's by summer is just as good. As long as it's a noticeable loss.
