New Year, New Decade, New Start, New Us!!

The_Dragon

I know, I know, very cliched! But if you can't be cliched in January when can you be :rotfl:

Well done to everyone who completed the December challenge, and a warm welcome to all newcomers! (if I forget to put you on the first page list - nag at me until I do :rotfl:, oh and you don't have to put your starting weight down unless you really want to!)

Here goes for another half stone challenge! Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for January! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it

This is a useful site for tracking your weight, food etc

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php

You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!

If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T

Remember - It's 2010 and there is no more IF but WHEN!!!

~Saz~

Hi, I've been lurking for ages and watching my weight increase at the same time

I have now decided that I need to do something about it, so I would like to join up for January

Thanks

lostinrates

Thank you The Dragon: your wonderful organisational skills benefit us all!

I'm in again.

The_Dragon

Good to see you ~Saz~ (and I'm honoured that my thread got your first post!), welcome back lostinrates

tara747

Hi (again!!! :rotfl:) Dragon, sign me up xoxo

~Saz~

Thanks for the welcome.

I will post my starting weight at the beginning of January. I'm working on the theory if it's staring me in the face I will be motivated (or shamed) into staying on my diet!

poshstock66

Hi Dragon - count me in again. Would love to lose another 5st in 2010! But anything will do!! Will weigh in on 31st Dec and post my starting weight then.
Hope that everyone had a happy christmas and wishing you all a weight losing 2010!! :beer:

tara747

poshstock, wow, I am so impressed by how much weight you have lost in one year!!!!!!!! A huge well done to you xoxo

Saz, welcome to the thread!!!

Jazer

Can I join? You seem a really nice friendly group of people (and much cheaper than going to a slimming club!)

penguin83

Hi Dragon I am in again for 7lbs in Jan please. I managed to gain 4lbs at my last weigh in after 3 big nights out in one week :eek: I am getting weighed again on the 30th so crossing everything I have that I can maintain but we shall see. Weigh ins in Jan will be
Jan 6/13/20/27.

Think thin everyone x x x

The_Dragon

Good to see you Jazer and penguin83, it's nice to see new members and those returning.

At the moment if we all lost the 7 pounds we hope to we would be 49 pounds lighter!
