Hello everyone. I just joined the board and your post was the first one I went to. Things happen for a reason so I am in. I will try to get one of those cool goal scale things many of you have. But until then, my starting weight is 189. I'll go for......12 lbs! I need something to think about other than work! So, hello to everyone. I hope I have found a fun, supportive place to be!

Hi, I would like to join in the challenge. I have joined in on a challenge before but never made it through. I also joined the You: On a diet page (I went back to calorie counting with some Dr. Oz influence). I have a hard time logging in consistently, I hope the third time will work
I would like to lose 15 pounds by Memorial Day. -- no more thunder thighs for me!!!
This challenge is a great idea. I just started trying to eat better and excerise. I have a long way to go but mini goals might work best. So I'll say 15lbs.
Phew...what a weekend...I'll post on the daily as soon as I can. Since my meds aren't regulated and I'm not sure how the weight loss is going to go w/them upped.... I will up the pot to 5 pounds. I may start losing like crazy in a few weeks and all the better, but I'd best stick to something realistic. I'll report in tomorrow w/a starting weight.....since I didn't weigh myself this morning.
Hi to all the new 30 somethings joining in the challenge!!!!
Awwwwwwww girls, so many of us are in and count me in, too
9 weeks seems perfect for me to reach my final goal That´s a great motivation for me! Wonderful idea, Laura !!!
Current weight: 74,8 kg (150 pounds)
Goal weight: 68 kg (136 pounds)
Sounds great. I'm in! I've been having little bits of success and am ready for a challenge. I'm putting my goal in my signature so it will always be there for me to look at.
I may need to lean on you guys a bit to get me to this goal.
Ok I'm in - I just started today - am going to start weight watchers and have set myself a goal to do a 5 K run in July. There a couple of beginner running programs out there... My birthday is on May 20th and my husband graduates on the same day. I would love to look 15 lbs slimmer by then. Let's do it together !
ok...so today was my weigh in date at ww....i lost 2.4 lbs....yippee!!!!!...i am so happy...i havent been losing at all in 10 weeks..started my thyroid meds on thursday and look 2 pounds...im thrilled....hope everyone else is doing great with their weight loss
I'll jump in. I think it sounds fun. Will you set the goal for all or will it be a personal goal. Today is my first day and I would like to set a small goal for myself. This seems like a great way to start.
My goal for today is to not eat anything that makes me feel guilty and to exercise a bit. (a bit is more than I usually get so I will shoot for a BIT)haha
Hi everyone. I'm new to the 30-somethings and really looking forward to a new challenge. I have been trying to eat healthy and exercise for 2 months now. I've had some success but recently I noticed that my weight hasn't changed much. I could really use a boost to get me going again! My Memorial Day goal is to lose 15lbs.

Wow, I am so glad we are all gonna give it a try. I hope we can keep this going for each holiday-4th of July, Labor Day, etc... keeps you focused on the short term and not the big scary picture if you have as much to lose as I do!!
I havent done too well this weekend but maybe better than I would have done before I joined here. I will weigh in once a week and change my stats.
good luck to all!!

I think I lost like a half pound or something. I was happy.
But today I did something wrong. My hubby got me 'Tiramisu' sometime last week. He is sweet and he knows that I like sweets. I wasn't going to have it till 31st March. I was going to have just a little on that day to celebrate my B'day. But today I was hungry ..very hungry. Had a doctor's appt for my younger son and by the time we got home, it was too late. I didn't wanted to wait any more and wanted to eat something right away. There were carrots and cucumbers near Tiramisu but I chose unhealthy over healthy.
Anyways .... I know I can not change anything now ...but I promise myself that I will walk for 45 min ( at least ) today to compensate the 'bad did' :-)
Hope you all are on track with our challenge.
All right count me in i wanna say 15 lbs by memorial day do you all think it's do-able??? i just cant seem to stay on track ? let me know what you think ~~ also its my hubby's b-day 05/29/2007 so just in time for memorial day
