Easter Challenge!!!
 

Ok, after slacking on the V-Day challenge, I really need to get back on board and stop eating cruddy and being lazy.

To reinspire myself, I'm using Easter Sunday as a new challenge date. Anyone want to join me?

I'll set my goal at 10 lbs again and keep my fingers crossed!

I'll join you! I neglected my scale for over a month and finally got on it the other day. I wasn't too thrilled about the numbers, although it was lower than I had expected it to be.

My goal is 15 pounds (maybe more). Good Luck!

Can I join? Since Easter is 7 weeks away, I would like to lose 7-14 lbs. :D I am going to try to cap my calories a 1500 max everyday and do turbojam 4 days a week.

Count me in! I want to drop 7 lbs for the "Easter Challenge" so I am sticking an average of 1200 calories per day. I've been in a plateu for quite some time, so I am going to really stick to this challenge and get it done! Good luck to all you ladies!

I'll go for 7lbs too!

I'm up for the challenge....let's see April 8th.....6 pounds will be my goal.

That will put me at 136 (where I was at Thanksgiving!).

7 lbs. I will use whatever my weight is tomorrow morning as my starting since this morning was whacked out.

We can do it! 7 lbs lighter by EASTER!
 

Alright, Ladies! Lucky number 7 lbs! That should put me at 138... (even though I weigh 150 lbs today, I am going to subtract the 7 lbs from my lowest weight of the week which is 145 lbs) I'm retaining water... ;) What will your GOAL WEIGHT be for Easter for the rest of you? :hug:

Spring is coming! Let's really do this Easter challenge... and do it right! :twirly:

EASTER GOAL = lose 7 lbs
EASTER GOAL WEIGHT = 138 lbs

Let's REALLY REALLY REALLY work hard to make this happen. It's not impossible. It's 1 lb per week - we can do it! Imagine how motivating it will feel to check back at Easter and be able to share our success stories of dropping those 7 lbs. Let's do it! Ladies that are doing the 7-lb loss goal -- let's check back in daily on this thread, ok?

:soap:

WE CAN DO IT!!! LET'S TRY OUR HARDEST AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!

So I guess will go for 5 pounds by my girls b-days (both on easter weekend)

I'll join in too. I only ended up losing 3 lbs. on the Valentine challenge.

Going for 10 lbs.

today I weigh 191.5 goal is 181.5

We can and WILL DO THIS.......Phyllis

Well I weighed myself today (without sweatshirt and sleep pants) an my weight is not as high as I thought so I am changing my goal

starting 139 want to get to 135 I know that is only 4 pounds but this was my first goal before I reavaluate my goal.

I just got back from shopping and they have the cutest clothes out now for the Spring......could I join in with you all? I am going to shoot for 10 pounds---and at the snails pace I am losing that is a reach....but I saw this adorable sleeveless pink dress (with a belt :)) that I would love to be able to wear Easter Sunday. You all are a constant source of inspiration for me. Good luck EVERYONE...and let the games begin!!!!

EASTER GOAL = lose 10 lbs
EASTER GOAL WEIGHT = 161 lbs

I'm in for 10lbs...I am so excited today I finally broke into the 170's and my sz 12P levis fit PERFECTLY!!! I've been wearing pants 2 sizes too big for the past month!! Today 178 BY Easter I'm hoping for 166...thats pretty close to what I was before I quit smoking!! :carrot:

I am happy to report that I am well on my way toward meeting my Easter goal!!! Yesterday I moved my ticker from 142 to 140 and this morning, the scale was 140.5 (I knew 2 pounds was too much to hope for!). Anyway, that loss makes me so much more confident!

Great Motivation! KEEP IT UP!
 

Ladies! :hat:

This is excellent -- we can do it! :dance: Let's make sure we are extra dilligent in recording our foods and that we stay under our allowed number of calories so we can ensure success as much as possible. I know, for myself, that if I can achieve this goal I will feel so very motivated and inspired that it will probably spill over to other aspects of my life as well! :goodvibes

7 lbs in 7 weeks - I will do my very best! :queen: Good luck to all of the ladies who are joining me in this challenge - WE CAN DO IT! Let's make sure to check back in daily if possible to support eachother and ensure we are not falling off track or getting un-motivated. :yes:

Thanks to everyone! :hyper: Good luck!!! :grouphug:

I need a challenge. I'm going to aim for 7 pounds as well :)

well, I'm already off to a bad start!!! Up 1 lb....i'm sure it's the WINE I had!! I'll be good from now on...

Calories 1638....deficit 922

Phyllis

I would like to join in as well. My goal is to lose 10 pounds. I think the challenge will be a good incentive for me.

No change yet but I've been working out every day. My exercise goal it to burn a minimum of 500 cals a day. So far I've managed to surpass that and keep my calories in check so hopefullly the scale will move again.

I'm in.

EASTER GOAL = lose 6 lbs.
EASTER GOAL WEIGHT = 147 lbs.

That will put me at my ultimate goal weight!!!

:carrot:

I'll go for 15 by Easter. That will take me to 130 and while my initial goal was 135 by May 1, I think I'm going to meet and exceed that. I really want to get to 120-125.

Great job, Ladies! Kepp it up! I myself have been trying to substitute more fish & veggies in where I was eating cold cuts & bread before -- EXCELLENT! WE CAN DO IT! Let's make sure to stick to it... great job thus far everyone -- we're on our way!!!!!!! Everyday that we eat healthy and keep our calories in check is getting us closer and closer to shedding those GOAL pounds! Yippeee!!!

PS. Don't you just love looking at the WEEK/2WEEK calories averages on FitDay? It really helps to get me motivated when I see the numbers start to slowly lower... this will equate to loss on the scale... I can't wait to check back in tomorrow to see how everyone is doing with their EASTER CHALLENGE...

Way to go everyone!!!!

i am new to these boards and i am going to jump in with both feet and say i'm in for 10 by easter

I will try this again! I tried the Valentine challenge and wasn't too successful. Someone stated earlier that all the Spring clothes are out and I have seen them too. I am ready to go shopping, but refuse until I get rid of some weight. My goal for Easter is to be down 10lbs.

Goal weight loss: 10lbs.
Goal weight: 150

Gah~perhaps it is my body getting back at me for that 5k race yesterday, but my ticker weight is not correct. I'm back up to 142 this morning. Like FloridaRusty, it is either that or the wine!

I am in!! My Easter Sunday goal is 9.5 pounds to put me at an even 190 pounds.

COunt me in too please. I am new but this would be a great start. I want to lose 15 by easter (just to get under that 200 number):( That may be too much at just over 2 pounds a week . HEre goes nothing:carrot: :carrot:

Hey count me in as well I will work on losing 5lbs. lets go get started today is the day to begin huh? 5lbs. will be 167.5 for me.

I am newbie too. This is why I'm here, count me in!

Ladies! I'm going to made a table that has everyone's name, what they want to lose and their goal-weight and post it tomorrow! So, if you are up for the Easter Challenge (April 8th) please post your GOAL in the format of:

POUNDS TO LOSE = x lbs
GOAL WEIGHT = x lbs

Thanks!!!

POUNDS TO LOSE = 7 LBS
GOAL WEIGHT = 136.5

Hi all,
Yes, to the challenge! I really need the motivation, and am shooting for 5 lbs. by St. Patty's, so this will keep me going after that.

I started to get serious about losing in January. About 4 years ago I came down with very achey joints and muscles, fatique, and tingly hands and feet. It was pretty severe for about 6 months, and I virtually stopped exercising. Before this happened, I had been very active and exercised pretty intensely. I did resume exercise eventually, but it is much lighter, mostly walking. I was tested for MS, had blood work for numerous things, but I never got any diagnosis. I am MUCH better now, but in the last 2 years I have gained 20 lbs, which feels like a lot on my frame. It's still frustrating to me that I can't do all the things I used to, but I just want to be as healthy as possible, lose the extra weight, and get my fitness up. Sorry so long, just wanted to introduce myself a little since I'm fairly new here... even though I've been posting away!

This challenge will help motivate me to meet those goal. Thanks!!

Nicker
Pounds to lose 9.5
Goal Weight for challenge 190

I forgot to come back and post my starting weight: 128.4. Ew. I don't know how that happened. But whatever. So my goal by Easter is 121.4. 7 lbs. Tomorrow is actually weigh in for me so hopefully it'll have gone down a little.

Well I guess I should post in the proper format too...

POUNDS TO LOSE = 7 lbs
GOAL WEIGHT = 121.4 lbs

pounds to lose = 7
easter goal weight = 140

ultimate goal weight= 130

Well I posted my goal earlier but do not know what formay I used so here it is

POUNDS TO LOSE =4
GOAL WEIGHT = 135 (MY FIRST GOAL BEFORE i REVALUATE)

POUNDS TO LOSE = 6 lbs
GOAL WEIGHT = 136 lbs

The scale is still not cooperating this morning. Will be extra good today!!

pounds to lose = 15lbs

goal weight by april 8 = 197 :carrot:

Well I joined the 40 days and 40 nights challenge so hopefully it will help me make my goal and maybe surpase it. I do not want to up how much I am aiming to lose I just want to hit my first goal the reevaluate from there but I do know I will want to lose more.

I wanna join in on this challenge too. I'd like to lose 12lbs by Easter and I've been losing at a rate of between 2-2.5lbs per week so it is sort of realistic and sort of far-off at the same time!

We can do it!!!:carrot:
