2012 Lose-A-Pound-A-Week Challenge
I wanted to get this started for this week. I have started my 2012 goals and losing a pound a week is going to be one of them.
Let's motivate each other and share joy and encourage when needed. Anyone want to join in?
May we please have a sticky for this thread? Thank you.Mom to Sara Louise (11) Wife to wonderful hubby Chad
and furbabies Morrison

I'll jump back in, and start with whatever weight I am on Dec 31. I managed to lose about 10 pounds since starting this challenge a few years back, and not put them back on, but I wouldn't mind losing a few more for good!! (And I DO mean GOOD!)

I have 80 pounds to loose and I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
So I need to stop the white carbs, sugar and start drinking water like I should. Walking or using my WATP tape would be needed also.Hello from Sunny Central Florida

I'm in as well. I would like to lose 25 lbs by May 1st. Cleaning the fridge out this weekend to get rid of the last of the Christmas food, that will get me off to a good start!

You'll see my presence on this thread, I'm sure!
I weighed myself this morning, and amazingly I only have 4.8 lbs to lose to get to my goal. Totally wouldn't mind losing a few more pounds once I reach my goal so that I have a bit of breathing room.
Way back in 2009 I lost over 30 lbs on that Lose-A-Pound thread. The ladies were really motivating, so I hope that I can be a motivation in some way to you! I've maintained my weight by staying as accountable as possible (i.e., sometimes posting what I eat to get down a few pounds again).
Look forward to getting to know you all better!
An obstacle is what comes up when you lose sight of your goal.
