It's the end of December, almost the beginning of a brand spankin' new year, and what better way to start '06 then to have a FIVE MONTH CHALLENGE through Memorial Day (May 29th).

We can all set our own personal goals. Whether they be weight-related, exercise related, or simply health related, the choice is yours! Come join me on my five month journey.

Okay, so my 21st Birthday is May 27th, so I have an extra reason to get into shape, and feel good about myself. I want to give myself the best birthday present ever- being proud of myself and my accomplishments. I also want to buy a killer, sexy dress for my b-day party!

Mini-Goal One: Complete a CLEAN two week Induction, starting Dec. 26th.

Memorial Day Goal: Size 7 jeans... I want them to be loose!
Getting my emotional eating under control.

I am with you 100% Akasha!!!

My birthday is on the 30th of May.......being at goal for that day will be the best present for me

I'll join you for the TWO WEEK INDUCTION starting from tomorrow too....let's stay clean and strict!!!

Good luck to you!!

Mini-Goal: 2 week clean induction
Memorial Day Goal: at Goal!!!

I want to join you ladies tomorrw in starting 14 day induction and continuing the challenge through memorial day. I'll check in tomorrow. Merry Christmas Akasha and Ruri

Yoo Hoo! Anyone out there. Just checking in to see how the first day of induction is going for you ladies. So far so good. I guess so,as I've only been woke an hour or so. I'll check in later

Hi Sapphire,

welcome on board. Here is already 7pm!
I have been doing quite well so far

Here what I had today

5 oz mackerel fillets
1cup mixed green
1cup red cabbage
1 tbs mayo
1 tbs olive oil

9 oz water

woke up quite late as well and not really hungry because of that!

Have a good lc day!

Welcome Ruri and Sapphire! I hope you both had a nice holiday yesturday!

Induction has been great so far. I avoided all the ice cream and doughnuts at work, which is a huge accomplishment for me. Now the only challenge is going to be avoiding the low carb ice cream in my freezer. I KNOW it is there, but I CANT have any until Induction is over.... lol.

I would like to join in this challenge. May 29, will mark exactly 11 months from when I started this journey. So I would love to be at my goal of 145lbs or close to it. More than that I want to be toned and in shape. Currently I am lifting weights e/o day and cardio in between.

I started induction again 12 days ago and have been clean so far, even made it through Christmas (woo hoo!!). After my two weeks are up, I plan to continue close to induction with the exception of upping my veggies. For me it's all about keeping my cravings under control and this seems to work the best for me.

Good luck with day 1 of induction ladies.

Hi ladies,

How have you been doing so far?
Food and water intake: I ve been doing pretty well
Excercise: mmmmmmmmmmmmm with the gym closed and the horrible cold outside I am lazyier than ever!!!!!!!!!

need to move need to move need to move

Ruri, good job with the water intake and food choices.

I hear ya on the feeling lazy thing, the cold weather and shorter days always makes me feel like this.

My cravings were bad today, but manage to get through. Have to thank TOM for these.

Jenny

Just want to say, you ladies are going to have the best birthdays ever! There's nothing like lookin' GRRREAT in a sexy outfit on YOUR day! Close your eyes and imagine...

I know you will do it!

URRRRRGH! It's freakin' 4am and I can't sleep!!!!!!!!!! I stayed in plan yesterday, day 2, of induction. Hopefully my inability to sleep will not have me craving carbs today to keep my energy up. Usually on day three of induction I get a God awful headache. I have a feeling if I do get the headache on top of lack of sleep, it is going to be a loooong day .
