Hi Everyone! I'm excited to join you =]

I'm not sure of my current weight (somewhere around 200lbs), but since this is a 10 week challenge, I'll aim for a weighloss goal of 15 pounds.

We can do this!

fashinjunkie09 03-22-2010 11:46 PM

Welcome ladies! It sounds like everyone's got some awesome goals we can do this! :)

Joining!! Ug last year, i was all upset Memorial day weekend cuz i had recently gained weight, and was back over 165... now:
CW: 216
Memorial GW: under 200
I know it's a HUGE goal, but I'm at my biggest ever, and hoping this initial weight drop will be big enough to pull it off. I just feel so pathetic praying to get down under 200 by then when i was 160 this time last year... but, there's nothing I can do to change that now, so i just need to focus on the goals ahead and not the past...

Hopefully this water retention is going away...that's what you get for hiking 14 miles and not drinking anything...

I've lost about a pound and a half already, but stupid TOM is here. I hope it doesn't make me go back up :mad:. I'm soooo hoping for another 13lbs by Memorial Day. If I can take a 4 day hiatus from the gym because of a stupid cold, get back to the gym and actually up my normal workout, I can do this!

platformnine 03-23-2010 11:18 AM

I wasn't going to do this challenge since I've been trying to go scale-less for a while, but since I'm refocusing my fitness and nutrition goals I'd like to see how far I can get by Memorial day!

SW: Somewhere in the 160s. Probably 165ish.
GW: 155 or lower!

Oh man I am sooo excited!! I have just been running for a set time on my treadmill for the last couple months and never really knew how far I was going (since I knew for sure I my treadmill is not right on distance from past experience). Well yesterday I took my run outside and I ran over 3 miles!!!
(according to google pedometer) I only ran for 30 minutes which means I ran a little faster than a 10 min mile!!! :cb:

QTestRDH 03-23-2010 10:11 PM

Count me in to!! I didn't make the spring challenge :( So I need to buckle down and start another!!

dietcokeaddict 03-24-2010 12:39 AM

Okay, so I finally took myself to the gym and hopped on the scale. It's been a few days since I started counting calories, (and I have a pretty substantial amount to eat each day so I doubt I have lost much.)

Scale says 142.something. I just rounded it up to 143, because, you know, flukes and such. So, I still want my goal to be under 140. I think my goal is going to be 135 and stay until after memorial day (If I get to 135 faster and have to maintain for a while... good! Maintaining is what I have the most troubles with)

Keep your spirits high, lovely ladies!

cynthialynn0313 03-24-2010 09:25 AM

Oh I want to join too! I do my official weigh in on Sundays..but I still get on the scale every morning. I would like to lose 18lbs by Memorial Day. Thats a little less than 2 lbs a week...I can do it! Good Luck everyone!!

hey QTestRDH! We're almost twins. 5'10 and only about 8 lbs difference in weight!

cynthialynn0313 03-25-2010 08:23 AM

Well yesterday wasn't my greatest day...I had some extra calories putting me around 1600 so I don't think too much damage was done. I'm going to try to work out extra today. I hope everyone is doing well on the challenge!

mkendrick 03-25-2010 11:49 AM

Hey Ashes89, welcome to 3FC! It's a great place :) And good luck on this challenge.

I'm moving right along. My starting weight, 147.2, was a false weight that day. I must have been a bit dehydrated or something, because I had been around 148, then I dropped down to 147.2, and jumped back up to 148 the next morning and have lost more steadily since. So, I'm quite happy with my current weight :)

If it's not too late I'd like to join, I feel like I am stuck between the same 3 lbs. I have been working really hard the last two weeks and nothing. I sure could use the motivation and the support to stay focused. I have a vacation to go home in June and would love to be lighter!

Welcome everyone! Just posting a quick update. I had a fan-freakin'-tastic woosh this week...6 lbs in 7 days!!! My weight loss was sort of stalled there for a while so I'm thinking that's over, lol. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!!!

cynthialynn0313 03-26-2010 11:22 AM

Gracie789 - Congrats on the 6lb loss! Thats awesome! :cp:

Welcome to everyone that joined! I've been doing pretty good this week. My official weigh in is this sunday but so far the numbers seem to be going down..hopefully it stays that way over the weekend!

-- .5 down... better than nothing! i keep hoping until official WI i keep going down :) i hope to hit 186 by Wednesday!! and i keep feeling motivated, because with the summer approaching, i'll be rocking a hot bikini bod in Greece :):)

fashinjunkie09 03-27-2010 09:06 AM

Welcome ladies!! :wave:

Gracie, wow a 6 lb woosh is freakin awesome you go girl!!

utgirl, congrats 4 lbs is great!!

missy, congrats on your loss I'm glad the scale finally said 188 for you! And have fun in Greece I've always wanted to go there!

Been up the last few days but I think the scale is finally going down. I have been OP with my food and plan on being good this weekend so I'm hoping for 157 on my official WI Monday. We shall see! I hope everyone is having a good weekend! :)

I worked for that pound this week, and I focused on weight training more than anything, so I'm quite pleased!

Gracie789 03-27-2010 12:39 PM

Thanks cynthialynn0313, utgirl09, and fashinjunkie09! I tend to lose weight in a woosh and hover way. I'm wooshing now, and I'm sure a hover is coming, but for the moment I'm really enjoying this rapid loss. :)

Congrats fashinjunkie09 and LBLAZY. I'm excited to get closer to my goal but I'm definitely dreading my progress slowing down. Way to go & keep up the great work! :cheer3:

BrittanieYork 03-27-2010 12:45 PM

1 more pound lost! That's 12 total. Seem to be averaging 1lb/day without working out - sprained my ankle Monday : (
