I just started a challenge in the challenges forum but I wanted to let my fellow TDCers know. The challenge is to loose 100 lbs in 2008 and I need accountability/encouragement buddies so if anyone is interested please join!

Hi Mrs. K,

My own 2008 resolution is to lose 100 pounds in 2008! What a coincidence. I'm with you on this. I lost 2.75 pounds in week #1 of 2008. Now I'm working on another loss for this week. I am more determined than ever. I will be 40 this year. I have about 180 pounds total to lose.

I'm hoping to lose at least 100 pounds th is year (aiming for 120, but will be realist at 100)

I would love to be your weight loss buddy.

What a wonderful and exciting challange!

I am also looking to loose 100 pounds in 2008, although I would be okay with loosing 85 as that would get me down to 200 from my new year start weight.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Count me in! I would feel great with a 100 pounds by New Years Eve.

I just wanted drop by to tell you YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Count me in I am also trying to lose between 100 and 150 this year, but in all truth will be happy with 75 pounds or more.

Me 2..... I want to be fit at 50!!! Just a year to do this.

Thank you for firing up this thread. I commit to losing the 100 pounds with you...though I will chop my year into 90 day sections as for me 100 pounds is daunting. Call it old man itis. Or wisdom of the deranged.

This is the 1st year I can recall in which I did not make a new year resolution to accomplish "something". I believe in them. I just managed to waltz into the new year unresolved. :-)

MisterE, I agree with chopping your year into sections, makes the task a lot less daunting!


I am aiming to loose 8.5 pounds a month! We'll see how it goes!!!

I am here(nervous and scared to begin),but I am taking the first step in getting this excess fat shed.I would love to be 100 ponds lighter by the end of the year(with your )

Thanks for starting this challenge. I also, want to lose 100 pounds in 2008. Some of it will be new weight and some unfortunately will be weight I regained after falling off the low carb wagon. I was down 90 pounds in Jan. 2007 and then life got crazy and I turned to carbs-talk about a wrong turn! So now I have forty pounds that I need to lose again plus another 60 pounds would but me close to goal. I know low-carb is the way to go and I am surprised that once I finally got back on track, my carb cravings have settled down.

I like the idea of a once a month official weigh in as I am trying really hard to stay off the scale-I tend to get obessed with numbers once I start weighing myself.

Best of luck to everyone.
We can do this!

I'm sooooo there! Count me in for losing 100 lbs in 2008.

I started on Jan 1st and tomorrow is my official weigh-in (today is the last day of induction). I've lost 9.5 lbs as of this morning (couldn't help stepping on the scale for a quick peek!)

Wow Dawn! You are off to a great start! Congrats!
