Here's the Challenge: Everybody on board

Alright then...I've read all the posts, and here is what's going on.

Starting Monday, November 15, we will begin the "Holiday Hottie" challenge. I will post a new discussion for the official start. At this time, each of you will need to post your current weight and what your weight goals are, either per week and/or for the entire challenge. I also think that we should post our exercise goals, as well. This might help keep some of us motivated (like me)! So think about it over the weekend. Be reasonable with yourself, but don't underestimate yourself! We all know what we're capable of.

After this initial post, we will give weekly updates so that we can monitor how everyone is doing and give a boost to those who need it. Of course, if we want to share posts in between, then that would be great...stories, ideas, motivational posts, etc. I will probably also be posting weekly challenges to keep the board alive.

The challenge will end on January 1st, 2005, at which time we will add the pounds lost together for a total board loss, as well as come up with a way to determine the total board exercise. At this time, we will also crown the "Holiday Hottie."

What do you all think? Too much? Too little? Just right? Let me know before Monday so that I can make the adjustments before the challenge begins.

Also, thanks to you guys for you input. This is everyone's challenge!!! Without you, it won't happen.

ok not to sound like everyone else but im in lol

yea i think its a great idea and i dont think its asking too much or anything

the hoildays are stressful no matter what and i think it will help all of us keep on track

we just have to be honest with ourselves and each other

i think i just need help on setting a goal

also maybe if anyone wants to i think it might be good for some of us (i know it will be for me) to set some other kinds of goals like taken that few mins to relax and unwind

just a thought

I'm in too. I need mini-challenges along the way, tho. Did you say you would have those too? One long challenge leads me to stop if I don't have other things to accomplish, too.

I'll think of goals over the weekend.

I'm in, too, and I'll be posting the other challenges in a few minutes.

One suggestion though, so this isn't some "biggest loser" thing... my opinion is that whoever meets or exceeds their goals is crowned Holiday Hottie - that's *everyone* who meets or exceeds, not just one person. What do you think?

I agree, because if you are sticking to YOUR goals we would all be winners :)
