OK folks. I've made my new year's resolution to lose a little weight and to start a regular exercise routine. I figure I'd offer a challenge to everyone else on the forum to do the same. There are no prizes. The winners are those that drop some weight, whether it be 1 pound or 20 pounds. Your "prize" is the satisfaction of knowing you've accomplished a goal and are trying to live healthier. This could be like an unofficial weight loss support group, because I need all the motivation I can get. Here are the rules: 1. The challenge begins on January 2, 2007. I figured we'd wait until all the temptations of the holidays have past. 2. You have to make a conscious effort to drop some weight. 3. You have to post, at least once a week, your weight loss or gain. I know it can be a rollercoaster at times. 4. Got to be supportive and encourage everyone. 5. The challenge ends in three months on March 31, 2007. Then we'll all have our official post of our weight loss. So... who's up to the challenge???

SUGAR PATATOES WHEAT RICE CORN... in other words no carbs... no kind of bread... just drink water... no soda... drink 6-8 glasses a day of water walk twice a day That, for me, was the best way to lose weight! I lost 65 lbs. over a 4-5 month period. Of course, I now have the baby belly that I desparately need to lose. I'll give it a shot, y'all!

OK, I've been mentally preparing myself. My goal is to lose about 10 - 15 lbs.
What's everyone else's goal?

I'm still losing, down to 278 from 319. It's getting harder now, only abour 1 or 2 pounds a week. Stomach has shrunk making it a lot easier. my saucer sized dinner plate fills me up.
Glad to hear "rat" is on a diet too. for a while there, we had a contest on who had the largest "gut", now it's who can lose the most "gut".
Keep up the good work, everybody.
