JANUARY CHALLENGE - New Year, New you!

[Busy Mum]

Only a week of December to go and a few have shown interest in joining a January challenge so lets do it! Same rules apply as usual, the challenge will run from 1st to 31st January, all you need to do is pledge your weight loss for the month and weigh in day below. Anyone can join in whether you're on LT for the whole month or just for a couple of weeks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JANUARY CHALLENGE - 2013 we're ready for you!


It's not a competition - it's just to challenge ourselves.

How it works:-

We have all pledged an amount of pounds that we aim to lose in January.
I'll update this first post with everyone's losses as we go along.
You can join in at any time just pledge your weight loss and weigh day.
Keep posting your losses even if you achieve your pledge early so we can see how well everyone has done at the end!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The challenge has now ended. Well done to all who took part. An incredible 271.89lbs (19st 5.89lbs) was lost by 19 different people!!
Special congratulations to the following who achieved their pledges:-

Hello BusyMum thank you for seting up a new challenge. As January is a long month I'd like to pledge 20lbs please. My weigh in is like yours on Friday. Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow! xx

 

[NewGirl2013]

Hello Busy Mum do you think it would be fair if everyone has 5 weigh ins in Jan? just to make it equal for everyone? my 5th weigh in will fall on the 1st feb so I would like to update ma table on the 31st Jan , would that be OK? (weigh in Friday)

Hi NewGirl. Some people will have 5 weigh ins and some will only have 4, or even less if they join part way through January. I don't think it matters how many weigh ins you have, its not a competition just a challenge for ourselves. I'll also start a February challenge nearer the time so your weigh in on 1st Feb will be your first one towards that challenge. Do you want to amend your pledge to refect 4 weigh ins instead?

I am starting Lipotrim again on the 2nd - don't ask, I am eating again, I feel so ashamed and can't even bear to admit it on here. I feel like I have let everyone down. Hubby insisted I eat with him last night when we went out, I thought I had my flapjack in my bad but I didn't - forgot to take it, full day of sale shopping, banging headache, absolutley starving, the waitress kept saying 'are you not eating, go on eat, go on' Hubby said - just eat you are hungry, I was cold and tired and I ate. I am not proud of myself at all. He said his mum has invited us for our Christmas dinner this weekend so I will have to eat then and he is starting his healthy eating in January so kept saying just eat and go back on in January when he starts.

I did weigh this morning and im 8st 10. I have eaten today, I feel awful, all you people who have stayed 100% and have so mcub willpower, I am honestly so proud of you. You guys are truly an inspiration.

I am back on to this on 2nd Jan (after meeting with my pharmacist today). I will have 4 weigh in's to report on but my pledge is to get to 8st 4 and be at that weight at my last january weigh in (4 weigh ins) so I guess my pledge is to get to goal. I will pledge the exact amount when I weigh in on the 2nd Jan, I will be weighing myself daily as I do at home so I don't completley go of track before then. I plan to not be more than 8st 12 on the 2nd. when I get to goal I will do a proper refeed and move staright onto slimmign world.

sorry for letting you all down. All of you who are carrying on with LT please DO NOT GIVE UP, you will regret it and you will be so much happier for stickign to it.

Love to you all xx

Goose don't beat yourself up. U haven't let any of us down, I'm sure they're all thinking the same as me... she's in the 8s!!! Hahaa. I was probably 8st something when I was 4!!!! Lol! I think if u just put this behind u, consider it an impromptu holiday and start jan2 as u intend. U have done fantastic. And thanks for posting because u would have helped others, not disappointed. Someone reading this might have been about to give up, read ur post and decided to bear the torture hearing u so down. Or like me, might be relieved to know that people of ur weight category are infact not perfect either and yet perfectly HUMAN!!!! chin up. Put it behind u and don't dare put urself down. U have come so far. Nearly there! Big hugs x x x

Listen Lady, you have let nobody down least of all yourself. You have lost an incredible amount of weight over the last few months. Please don't beat yourself up over this you can deal with it in January. Let me know your pledge when your ready and I'm sure you'll be back at goal by the end of Jan. Bid Hugs to youxxxx

Bless you Goose x No more beating yourself up you hear! We're all here for you and you come back on the 2nd - I know it's awkward with your inlaws. You've been such a help to me and there's nothing at all to be ashamed about x x x
