OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

It will run from this Wednesday until Wednesday January 2nd. That gives us 8 weeks.
Sign up and post your goals for your weigh in after January 2nd.

For me my goal is 12 pounds and 3 days a week of exercise through all three holidays. None of the usual "it's a holiday" excuses.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in - I want to lose 10 lbs - the weight I was pre-preggo, OR fit into my favorite pair of jeans - whichever comes 1st...

i already go to Kickboxing 3 times a week - sometimes 4 if it works for me - but I decided today on the nights I don't go, I'm going to go back to working out with weights. I have had no motivation to do so, but I really want to look good for the holidays, and we are going to Florida at the end of February....

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in. You can have 5lbs from me & exercise at least 2x a week (since 3x didn't work out)

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in!! 10 lbs for me...and exercise 3-4 times a week.
Thanks for doing this!!

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

Im in!!!

My goal is to actually stick with it this time...

I want to lose 25 lbs- but my goal for Jan will be 15 and to excerise 3-4x's/week.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in! I would LOVE to lose 15 lbs by then!...but i'll be realistic and say 10 lbs. I don't exercise now...so I'll just say I'll start!

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in. I need to start getting back to eating healthy during the weekdays. I want to lose 7-10 pounds.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in!! I would love to get rid of this extra 10 pounds I've been carrying around.
I joined curves - so I will be doing that at least 4-5 times a week.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in I'm in!

Vincent is now 6 weeks old and I am 2 lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight... but I was a chunk a monk to begin with so to be realistic ...

I will pick 12 lbs in 8 weeks (2 lbs to get to PrePreg and 10 lbs more on top of it). I am joining Weight Watchers this Thursday and I plan on excercising at home 4 days per week and weather still permitting walking every day for 30 minutes with baby.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in.

10 pounds and I want to actually follow my WW plan.

I signed up a month ago and every week I find some reason to put it off to next week.

Exercise is still a challenge because I simply cannot find the time, so I'll put that goal off until next time.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in.

I NEED to lose about 30 lbs. but I will set the goal to 12 lbs. for this.

I do have a gym membership but it is very hard for me to get there...so I will try to get to the gym 2-3x's a week.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

Hi ladies! I'd like to join in on this for the first time! I'm a new mommy here well, DS is almost 10 wks old so not that new anymore!

Here is my story - I was a size 4 pre-preg and exercised regularly - running about 3 miles and doing pilates about 4-5 times per week before getting pg. I exercised throughout my pregnancy except for the last month and on my delivery day had gained 30lbs. To date, I have lost 17 lbs so I have 13lbs to go.

But here is the very sad part - i think my body is now seriously screwed up. Despite being only 13lbs from pre-preg weight (which I don't think is that much) my belly STILL looks about 4 mos pregnant. Not to mention that I bought a dress for a wedding the other day and I could barely zip a size 10! So i am now more than double my size! Plus I have been eating healthy and trying my best to exercise and BF and not losing at all. So, suffice to say I am very discouraged. And, as you all know it is so so so hard to find the time to exercise since my DS is quite the attention hog.

So here are my goals...
-Keep eating healthy.
-Try to exercise at least 3X per week
-By December be able to start jogging again
-By January be out of maternity clothes and into my "fat" pre-preg clothes.
-By January to look only two months pregnant

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!!!

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I'm in. My goal is to lose the last 20lbs of baby weight. I have kind of been doing weight watchers but tomorrow I'm starting it with 100% effort. It's only been two weeks but I feel so terrible about myself looking like this that I am determined. I also expect to be back at the gym in 2 weeks.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

Since I still have ~40lbs to go of pregnancy weight, I'm in. My goal is to lose 15lbs by January and to start doing some kind of exercise at least 3 times a week.

Re: OK moms who wants in on the Holiday Challenge?

I am in!

7 pounds for me. And I am going to try my hardest to not have seconds of any of the desserts!
