Thumbs up March Weight Loss Challenge

Another month, and another chance to shed some pounds! Bathing suit season will be here before we know it and I'm hoping to look a lot better in mine this summer than last! Anyone who would like is welcome to join us this month in getting on top of the weight loss now, and we'll all be in great shape by the time the warm weather comes our way.

The rules of our challenge are simple. We are here to provide each other some accountability along the path to weight loss, so just set a weight loss related goal(s) and I'll add it to our goal list for the month of March. When you reach your goal for the month it will be turned RED in our goal list!

We have a sister thread for exercise goals, http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html, and all your exercise-related goals can be posted there; this thread is for weight loss goals specifically.

We love to hear about your success as well as your challenges throughout the month, so please share them with us. We're here to support and encourage each other to be our best.

Good luck to everyone this month!

I'll post my starting weight tomorrow, but my goal this month is to FINALLY get to a "normal" BMI (147.6 or less). I have been in the 150s for 2 months, and this month I am determined to finally get to my original goal!

After only losing 6.5 last month, I was gong to scale back, but what the heck - I'm going for 8lbs this month! I've ordered a heart rate monitor, I'm going to really step up the exercise and if I lose 8 lbs this month, I'll be the lowest weight I've ever been as an adult! (Actually quite excited thinking about it!)

So, this morning I am 167.5, I aim to be 159.5 by the end of March, for a total loss of 8lbs.

I'm IN! The February thread really motivated me last time even though I only lost 3 months last month. I feel a lot more toned and lean

Starting Weight: 130.8 lbs
Goal Weight: Actual Weigh-In
3.08 - 129.0: 128.0 lbs (-2.8 lbs)
3.15 - 128.0: 129.2 lbs (+1.2 lbs)
3.22 - 127.0: 127.2 lbs (-2.0 lbs)

3.31 - 126.0: 126.6 lbs (-0.6 lbs)

I hope to be as close to 125 as possible by the end of this month!
Good luck to everyone!

I'm going out of town for part of March and won't have a daily weigh-in. On the other hand, I learned from last month's challenge to weigh under 76.4kgs for 14 of the 29 days in February, that when it happens, it happens in streaks. So, not being able to weigh myself a few days may not make that much difference. *checks a calendar* I think I'll go for this in March:

14 days under 76.4kgs

i started this month at 271.2 (according to the wii fit just a few minutes ago)... which means i lost 5.3 last month (2.7 shy of my 8lb goal)... i would LOVE to see 260 by the end of the month... but i know that's crazy ambitious. i think i will set my goal at 8 pounds again. and make my goal 263.
