Winter Onederland Challenge

oo-er I've just worked out that I need to loose 2lb a week to reach the challenge I set myself Seeing as I'm a slow looser not sure if I've set myself up to fail. Oh well, as long as I loose something by then I haven't failed it just gives me something to aim for I suppose. Note to self - do not beat yourself up if you don't make it hee hee.

Ruth, My goals are quite daunting as well. I have been reading that you, like me, haven't been very hungry or interested in food lately. Maybe we just need to eat more!!!! Because I haven't been losing as much as normal and I have been having a lot less calories than normal. We can do it. I am sure of it! Rachael

I hear ya Ruth. In my wildest dreams I would love to reach onederland by Christmas but I just don't think it is going to happen. I have like 33 lbs and it just seems to ambitious. I was tring to reach the century club by the wedding I was in last weekend - I got down to -90 and realized I would NEVER get there with like 1.5 weeks left so I gave up and went on a 2 week binge and basically ended up going to the wedding at -87 lbs - yeah - I GAINED! So now I am worried that setting myself up to try and reach onederland by Christmas and then if I am only like 205 by then I am afraid I will gorge myself over the holidays. I don't want to set myself up for failure. So for right now I am keeping quiet - my winter goal is now just to actually get back on the wagon and move the scale in the right direction.

I too am thinking I may not make my challenge (5 pounds a week!!!) So I've got an alternate challenge to be at -120 by then. 27 pounds seem a whole lot more do-able then 40 right now..lol So I'm aiming for the 27 and if I get to 199 that'll just be "icing on the cake" so to speak lmbo. I've been losing 12-14 per month since month 2. So I could make it to 199 by Jan 1st if I really work my a$$ off! *literally*

I don't think I'll make my challenge either, but what the heck!, We will all do our best!

Ah, Ruth, after reading your post and the other responses it sounds like we all need to reevaluate our goals. We must be sensible right? With that said, I know losing 30 #'s by christmas is not realistic for me either, so I chose to make my goal be to not gain, to continue to eat sensibly and to drink more water!!!!!!! Still the loser in Michigan who cannot resize her pics for a new avatar (Like yours, I cant believe how my face has changed!) Kathryn

ha ha ha You guys made me laugh out loud when I read these replys So I'm not the only one with unrealistic goals huh We are all there!! Good to know I'm not alone
