30 Something's Memorial Day Weight Loss Goal!!! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

loganandlivsmom · 03-23-2007, 09:03 PM

Hello fellow 30somethings!
I used to come to this site a lot and I loved having personal holiday mini weight loss goals to keep me focused. I was thinking we could have a Memorial Day goal if you'd like. It gives us just over 9 weeks to make the holiday goal. I would like to set a goal for myself hopefully not too easy or hard-15 pounds.
starting 268
mem day goal 253
what do you say, any takers?

Sure. I think that is a great idea. I need a goal as I'm basically farting around these days.... exercise one day, no exercise the next two days, eating good one day, eating bad the next two days. What a dumbie head.

Yeah, I haven't been setting goals, because I always fail at them...kinda like New Year's Resolutions!

I'll bite though. Let's see 9 wks....I'll say 10 lbs. Keep it realistic and fairly stress free!

I'll weigh in sometime over the weekend, probably Sunday AM.

Starting Weight: TBD
Goal Weight: TBD

Sounds like a good plan. I am not sure if I will make it as my weight loss has really slowed but I would like to lose 10 lbs. So I guess I am making it official.
Starting weight 182.8.

Good luck to you all!!!

I am going to come out of lurking to join this challenge. I think that I need something like this to jump start my weight loss. I'll make my goal 15 lbs by memorial day as well.

I am very interested in implementing some accountability in addition to the weekly weigh-ins.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll say 10 pounds by then. Memorial Day is the last weekend of May right? (I'm Canadian)

loganandlivsmom · 03-25-2007, 09:04 AM

I am glad so many of us are willing to try!

I think that this really helps me. I can divide the huge amount that I need to lose into small little goals and it seems more do-able that way. Knowing that I will have to report in will hopefully keep me on track.

Clover-yep Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, so it will be 9 weeks tommorow!!

we can do it!!

Good Morning Ladies,
Well my vacation has been a total veg out time. I feel like I haven't done anything. Friday I was headed to Billings and ended up in Cody Wy. Then my little sis called sat and we headed to Billings.
I would say the memorial day weight loss sounds like a plan! I am going to have to work out double time this week.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I would like to join the weight challenge! I haven't posted here before, so I hope it's okay. I will make my goal to loose 15 by Memorial day also! I weighed in at 250.2. So 235 by then.

loganandlivsmom · 03-25-2007, 11:19 AM

lois lane-of course it' okay! I just started back here myself! welcome everyone!!
happy weekend!

Ok, my goal is to actually exercise 3 times a week regularly by memorial day. Not a traditional goal, I know, but it's what I really need help with.
