The Quest For Onederland Challenge


What it is:

This is a motivational group for all of us who are on the quest to drop that 2 or even 3 from the beginning of our weight! 199 is a landmark for anyone over 200lbs trying to lose weight. So, we’ve banded together in hopes of pushing each other to meet this much desired goal which seems to allude us all, “onederland”.

How it works:

In order to enable the most versatility to the group, it is organized into “zones”. Depending upon how far away from 199lbs you are, you will be put into a different zone. They are as followed:



White Zone: Onederland and maintaining

Red Zone: 1-10 lbs away (200-210)

Yellow Zone: 11-25 lbs away (211-225)

Blue Zone: 26-50 lbs away (226-250)

Black Zone: 50+ lbs away



This helps to keep us from focusing simply on that silly number, 199. Rather, we have smaller steps along the way to look forward to, as well.

Obligations:

Obviously, for this to really be helpful we want everyone to check in regularly. Still, life is busy. The only thing you are really asked to do, is notify us of when you have changed zones (up OR down)

Yum to the beautiful dinner spread Joy!!! You are on top of the forums for November! Thank you!!!

For those of us who are in the red zone and those in the yellow, close enough to really reach onederland by the end of the year, let's get together and do this!!!! LET'S REACH ONEDERLAND FOR OUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AND OUR NEW YEAR'S GOAL FOR 2010!!! I know I have had my struggles and let downs months prior, but things are great now and it's time to celebrate by getting to onederland and then lower! I look back at this year....I have been taking my time, being slow, and weightloss has come, but I keep holding back. Well, not anymore!!! If you want to start logging your workouts, do it here! Whatever it takes to get to onederland, let's do it!!!! Come on!! And for those of you who are not near onederland yet, or have even passed it on the way down, set a goal and let's reach it together. Who's with me???

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!! My goal is to have 1 piece of candy tonight, if any at all. We are going to buy nontempting candy to hand out so that should help me with resistance.

LET'S LOSE THIS EXTRA 10 POUNDS, OR SO BY NEW YEAR'S!

I posted this on October's thread and then realized we have this shiny new November thread. This is my realization of my life:

Nothing Is Worth More Than Our Health!!! Nothing!!

I am seriously going to do it....starting today....going to be very serious about reaching onederland. I am going to start using the commit to be fit challenge again and log my walking, and I am thinking of challenging myself to walk everyday and see how many days in a row I can go without breaking my cycle. To reach onederland by Christmas, I need to just stop teetering around and just do it!!! So, I have my track shoes on and I am ready to go!

YAY, Stacey is BACK!!!!!
I am glad you are getting back on track. I am pulling for you
don't forget to track your walking on our Castella trip

I am with you Stacey!
My goal for Christmas is 185, that is 1-1/2 lbs a week for the next 7 1/2 weeks. I think I can do that.

Great Plan

I lost 3 lbs this week, YAY
So now I am back to what I was before I got on the maintain, gain road. Boy, am I glad that is OVER!!!!

I would love to join this thread, I weigh in tomorrow but right now I know I am in the yellow zone, but I will report back my official weigh in tomorrow. So my first small mini goal is to really dig deep and get well under 210 by the New Year but better yet really put in some discipline and get to Onederland by then. I just will be soooo happy to see that scale have the number 1 in the front. So I hope to give and get lots of support here. And of course a big ol' hi to Sheryl, who is on the C25K thread, I was gald to see you here
