Wow, this is going to be a great challenge! :goodluck: everyone!

Dena, you've been doing great with your workouts and eating. You did lose a pound this last time, so hopefully you'll get the rest this time!

:welcome2: to all our new challengers!

1 lb down....16 to go!!!!

I'm in! I met my Easter goal a week ago.YAY!

I'm going to go with losing 13 lbs. That would put me at 230.

Another goal is 20 minutes/3 days a week on the elliptical and some kind of other exercise every day. I have Turbo Jam ordered and can't wait to start that. I have WATP too and really like it. And I bought some small weights to give my arms a workout. Surely with all that, I'll find something to do every day! :)

Also want to work on getting more protein in my diet.

Irish, congrats on the weight loss, you're off to a great start! :carrot:

MrsE, WTG on meeting your Easter goal! :celebrate:

Today's my official weigh-in day:
Mar 13 (last week): 210 lbs
Mar 20 (today): 208 lbs
Weight loss this week: -2 lbs

I met my Easter goal midweek this past week, so only 1 of those pounds lost will come off my Mother's Day goal ticker:
1 pound lost, 9 to go for this challenge! :cb:

Today was my official weigh in, one pound down, 7 more to go by mother's day. I'm sure i can make it! 10 would be great but I know 8 is do-able

Hello and good morning! Here I yam!

Well...anoter lb bites the dust lol... that leaves 15lbs to my mothers day goal..and 8lbs til my canadian idol goal!!! I put a belt on today that didnt' fit a month ago and now it fits 3 rings in :)

Hello, all... Glad to see the Mother Day's goal thread up. I'll be joining in for what will be my 3rd mini-goal on 3fc. :)

Unfortunately I'm just getting over a nasty cold that has lasted for the past week, and though I was normal as far as calories go, the things I ate weren't exactly "clean"(didn't feel like cooking at all) so I've got no head start like I did for the Easter goal. That considered, I'm going to be shooting for a mere 10 lbs this time.

Seeing as how my weight loss has seemed to slow down considerably, I'm going to add in a certain amount of exercise in to this goal. The weight loss I've had so far has been generally without much consistent exercise and I'd like to change that. So, in addition to 10 lbs, I'm going to be to get in a decent amount of exercise at the very least 3 times a week. Baby steps, baby steps...

::sending positive energy vibes for good luck to everyone with their goals!!::

My goal will be the magical 168. At 168 I will no longer be overweight, a place I haven't been in at least five years.

I'll also make it my goal to walk/hike/bicycle/whatever twice per week.

Jamsk8r- Great post!!!! I love these challenges!

I'm in! My goal for Mother's Day will be my favorite number again 9 lbs!

My goal is to stay within in calories, and exercise at least 4 days a week! :exercise:

:goodluck: Everyone!!! Swimsuit season is around the corner, and I saw a swimsuit that has my name all over it! LOL!

Jamsk8r! Ok I'm in. Starting at 174.5 my goal is 160 by Mother's Day. This time I need to stay away from Lazy Town and Cheaterville! :)

Even though today is not a regular weigh-in day for me, my body seemed to be telling me to go look. Sure enough, one pound gone! :carrot:

Mother's Day Goal: 10 lbs., 9 lbs to go! Thankfully, there is no Easter chocolate in this house! Here's wishing strength to all those who are having to fight that temptation this weekend...

Ti'an

OK, here goes. I will be 199 by Mother's Day! Setting this goal in writing is really motivating! I will workout 4-6 times a week 45-1hour at time! Everyone is doing so well, so far. Congrats! I have got to keep up with ya'll!!

Peach, you are off to a running start...woohoo!

FB, good to see you here! Are you going for the big two-oh again, hotshot? :D ;)

Irish, you're a weight loss machine, as always!

Layri, I'm with you on the baby steps! I do best that way, too. What are you thinking about doing for exercise? Something fun, I hope!

LED, best of luck with your goal! :carrot:

Tinky, glad you could join us! I hear you on the swimsuit. I love swimming, but have hated wearing the swimsuit, because no matter what you put over it to try and hide it, well, you know. How great would it be to just go swimming without worrying about how you look in a suit? :cloud9:

Rat! Been wondering where you went! :hug:

I don't have any more weight loss to report yet, but I've started weight lifting this week. It's kicking my...everything! I had to quit skating 15 mins early on Friday night, after lifting on Thursday for the first time (with "real" weights, not milk jugs, lol), because there was NOTHING left in my legs. That is called, "skating to failure," right? ;) I did it again yesterday, but am not near as sore today. Hopefully, that's a good sign, because I know I was using enough weight and pushing my limits yesterday, too.

After the lifting, I ran 50 minutes. I'm seriously tempted to go for this 12K run that's coming up in June. It's a challenging run, with killer hills...that would be a good motivational challenge for me to train up for. It's a run/walk, so even though I wouldn't expect a good time, I probably wouldn't be last, either, which is always a bonus. If I could just run the distance, without having to walk (me?), man, that would be something! I hadn't planned to up my running distance, but after my 5K, I think I've got the running bug even worse than before. Maybe I'm doomed to be a freak of nature, because I think I could love the distance running and weight lifting at the same time, which isn't supposed to be a real champion combo, but I guess I'm just a rebel!

Okay, sorry, I'll shut up now. :blah: Keep those reports coming in, and let's do this thing!

I'm new to the calorie counting board, but not 3fc :)

Anyway, I'd like to join this challenge too!

I have a mini goal right now to get down to 260, and I'm 8 lbs away from that. But maybe for this challenge, I'll add 5 lbs to that, and my goal will be 255. That will be 13 lbs, hopefully not to unrealistic. And to work out on a more regular basis - 3 times a week.
