Hi i'm new here but not new to south beach. See introduction. I'm restarting but if anyone is interested in a weight challenge?
I did this on a ww board and found it motivates me week to week and If I have a goal for lets say a 8 week period it's easier to meet it. We coulld pick a goal for a 8 week challenge such as ten lbs. You choose your own goal you would like to meet. We will meet back here lets say every weds. We did weds because if some one had a bad weekend you still hac a couple of days to lose your bad choices and seems less rushed than mondays.

Just list your starting weight/present weight/south beach goal and how much you would like to lose. Any one game? We could start it this weds
nov 12th and finish up on dec 31 2008. I know the holdiays are coming but this could be a way to keep us all in check with everyones support and ring in the new year a few pounds lighter!

Paintedbliss it is so funny that you put the idea of a weight challenge on the board. I also go to another SB forum and they have a 7 week challenge. It is pretty simple. All they do is have everyone check in that wants to be part of the challenge and then we just put down starting weight, current weight, & goal weight and then everyone checks in each week. Of course the one with the greatest amount lost is the winner for the week. I think it would be a great way to keep us focused and add some accountability. Count me in if you want to do something like this. Jules

Count me in. I know it does not seem like I have much to lose but I also want to make sure that I do not gain any back over the holidays. This will help keep me in check and on track to lose the stubborn last 9lbs.

Starting 132
Current 123.4
Goal 115


Jules:

sounds good...I'd like to do this too.

I'm in...

reached my goal weight, but heck, I think I'm moving it already...lol

I'm going for 140 now...10 pounds during this challenge...I'm gonna give it my all cause this is exactly the time I need it most! This will help me say on track and feel nothing but better! After all, I'm still 20 pounds overweight...yikes!

The 19th will be my 1 year anniversay of living the south beach lifestyle! Not the first time I've done it, but the first time I've stuck to it this long...now this will add fuel to my fire...thanks guys...great idea!!!

I'm gonna start another thread for the weight challenge. so just post your name (starting sbw/present weight/goal for challenge). Remember your goal is personal for you, it is an eight week challenge, so think about what you want to achieve. The winner is the one who loses the most weight, but being in the challenge we are all winners!!!
I'll post mine sometime tomorrow, I'm at work all day til 11pm. Good luck everyone.
