New Year, New You Exercise Challenge
Since I haven't heard from Anna I've decided to go ahead and put
together the next exercise challenge. It's a wee bit longer than the usual - this is a 13week challenge - because I wanted it to run right through the current year and end in the next one. Starting weights will be the weight the week of September 29-October 5. I'll need starting weights and goal weights for anyone wanting to participate. I'll have a website up later today and will post again with the URL. I'm going to institute some of the same rules that Anna had for the SWWC, namely: 1. Goal weights should assume the recommended, average loss of 1-2 lbs per week, although they can be a less if you're a slow loser, or a little more if you're a fast loser. I don't want anyone killing themselves for a little challenge! 2. People on maintenance will be identified by an "M" in one column, so that we know they aren't trying to lose a lot of weight. People who have had to drop out will also be noted. I picked New Year, New You (NY,NY) because everyone always focuses on the new year as a time time START working on their "new you". Well we here at ASDW know that it's an ongoing journey. So instead of waiting until January 1 to make a resolution about weight loss, why not look ahead and say HEY! I'm going to be a heathier, happier individual FOR the new year, not just IN the new year. And why is it that the media teaches us to start preparing for the swim suit season months ahead of time, and then tells us that it's okay to "let go" at holiday parties and not worry about weight loss until January 1? We know that we can have our party fun and lose weight at the same time. So let's show 'em how it's done! Okay, enough rambling. I'm leaving to catch a flight in less than 2 hours so it's doubtful that I'll get the site online before I go, but I will work on it once I'm in Edmonton and should get it online tonight. I'll include a similar sign-up form on the website - you can also sign up by replying on the newsgroup or sending me an email with "NYNY" in the subject line. "It's up to you - NY NY!"

New Year, New You Exercise Challenge
Amberle:
I have a good 20 lb to lose before the new year and hopefully I will be able to fit into that little black dress in my cupboard. It's doable, I just need someone tracking me!!! I'll let you know next week what my starting weight is. Connie Amberle3 wrote: Since I haven't heard from Anna I've decided to go ahead and put together the next exercise challenge.

New Year, New You Exercise Challenge
I'm in. But you might want to "fix" your subject and first sentence -
this is a weight challenge and not an exercise challenge - right? Maintenance here. 164 is my WW goal weight. It will also be my challenge weight especially given the intervening holidays (yech!!!) And NY, NY was home.

Sign me up for the NYNY challenge. I tend to use the challenge more
for accountability than motivation since a 13-week period is much too long a period for me to think about. So I'll continue to use mini goals as my motivational tool. If I understand your instructions correctly, you'll begin taking starting weights with next week's weigh ins, beginning Monday and throughout the week. Are you taking goal weights now? If so, I'll set mine for 168.6, an average of 1-lb per week. So far, this seems to be my overall rate of loss. Thanks for stepping forward to do this. Prairie Roots |
