March Weight Loss Challenge
 
Set any weight loss goal that fits your personal goals. Let's say goodbye to the winter blahs and toodle-ooo to a few more pounds. :goodluck:, everyone!

I'm tackling my usual 1.5/week and ramping up my activity. With the extra burn and being really careful with food, I just might hit goal. Just to keep it real, lifting weights might keep the scale higher than I'd like, but I should see some kind of body comp change either way. Om mani padme -- it's all good -- om mani padme, dang it.

SW: 199.0
GW: 193.0
Sunday weigh in

SW 275

Well this is the third month in a row that I've been stuck inthe 220's so I'm gonna take Marie's advice and not set a weight goal. I'm gonna set a daily calorie goal of 1600 calories. Maybe focusing on that number on the scale is part of my frustration.

I was 163.8 this morning, after a poor weekend of eating. I'm going to ignore that, and remember that I was 161.9 2 days ago.

I want to lose 4+ pounds and be at or below 157.x on 3/31.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do as a weight goal. It's definitely going to be more than the 5 lbs I had in Jan. and Feb. but I may need to make it a moving target depending on how it goes.

I'm also using my Gowear Fit now, so I will be focusing on that too. I'm going to see if I can make it to 10,000 steps a day - even one day! lol! I'm at 3100 so far today, but I already did the 2 mile WATP this morning. And I'm trying to match calories to activity and have a minimum calorie deficit of 1000 per day.

So maybe I'll see how the first week goes, and then try to figure out a realistic loss number for the month.

My weight goal is to be at or below 165 on March 31.

I'm also going to set a goal to replace one bad eating habit with a good eating habit, so for the month of March I am going to concentrate on not overeating. My goal is to eat only when I am hungry and pay attention to proper portion sizes.

Good Morning All! This is the first time I have posted my goal at the beginning of the month.......My goal is to lose 5 pounds this month. To do this, I will watch my food portions, continue to attend my boot camp sessions on M-W-F and increase my cardio workouts on T-TH-S.

Best wishes to all of us!!!

diyana 03-01-2010 12:27 PM

My weight goal is to be at or below 209 on March 31.

SW: 217.2

Just Jess 03-01-2010 04:45 PM

I'm committing to 4 lbs. this month. I do better when I go low.

PeanutsMom704 03-01-2010 06:45 PM

I forgot to put my start weight. I don't know what I'll put as my end weight goal, but at least I won't forget where I started! lol! I know for sure that I want to get back into the 220s since I was there on my old scale. After that is the question mark!

SW: 233.2
CW: 233.2
GW: ???

AZ Manatee 03-01-2010 11:01 PM

I blew it last month, so I am in! I will strive for more, but the minimum I would like to lose is 4 lbs. Good luck everyone.

SW: 168.1
GW: 164

I'm not doing very well with my calorie goal so far this month. Not sure why I'm having such a hard time either. I ate 2000 calories yesterday and 1800 today. What is up with that? I had a snack today and it appears that if I just eliminated that I would have made it. Amazing what a little bit of food can do.

PeanutsMom704 03-03-2010 11:47 AM

I'm doing pretty well so far - I think for now, I'm just going to focus on itty-bitty mini goals, so first up is getting back into the 220s, and after that, will be getting back to 226.

I know this is from changing scales and it's not a true gain, so it will be nice that I'm seeing movement in overall loss. But I won't feel like it's true forward progress until I'm back at 226 and back working on getting into the 2-teens.

petra65 03-03-2010 08:10 PM

Well today I have made my calorie goal (in fact I'm under) as long as I don't blow it before bedtime.
