Weight loss challenge!

If anyone else out there is like me, you just need that extra little motivation and kick to get started. And especially around the holidays, i always let myself get a little crazy with the food.

Would anyone like to join me in a weight loss challenge? The goal is to lose at LEAST 2lbs every week. Not too hard, right? And we'll be seeing the scales go down!

Currently, from my last weight in, I weigh 460lbs. I don't have a scale that can weight me at home, so I'll most likely be gaugeing my weight loss off of my measurements, which I'll post later.

Anyone with me? Let's take the first step to a healthier holiday! :)

I would love to do this, however, I am pretty sure that I will fail if I set a goal in lbs. But I am going to just make a goal that I will eat less and be more active, but I am in it with you.

PS. I find the biggest problem for me is that I really don't have anyone that I see on a daily basis that can support me in my venture. So I will be looking to DS for more support.

I don't diet well under pressure and this would be a set-up for me. However, I did resolve not to bake this holiday season. No Xmas cookies around the house unless someone brings them in. Same with all those special baked gifts I give. I'm going to find something else to send to friends. Maybe I'll make some cute aprons this year.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
