Talking Mother's Day Challenge

I hope it's okay to put this up...I didn't see a thread started yet. I know some folks have already hit their Easter Challenge goal, while others are nearly there.

My goal for Mother's Day (May 11) will be 10 lbs, which would get me to 199. ONEderland here I come!

For those new to the idea, you can post a goal for anything: pounds or kilos or stone you want to lose, staying on plan with eating and/or exercise, a certain number of miles or number of workouts you want to do between now and then. Anything that will help motivate you and help you meet your personal fitness and health goals!

Good luck to all!

I'll be joining in once I get to my April 1 goal. Having goals keeps me in check...When I am tempted, I think about whether it is worth it to blow the chance of reaching goal. It usually does the trick.

Let's see, that's almost 8 weeks from now... so I'm going to walk/run a combined total of 150 miles by then.

I will set my mothers day goal at 260. I may not make it but its a reasonable goal. Right now I am only a pound away from my easter goal. I never thought I would make it...I had a 4lb loss last week. After only loosing a pound and half for a few weeks.

My Easter goal is not going to happen since I fell off track hard. My mother's day goal will be first and foremost to stay on plan! I'm going to set my weight goal high so I have something to strive for, and I'm going to start now. I am setting it at 20 lbs so that I will be in the 2 o's and so close to onederland!

I have a problem setting realistic goals, although I'm pretty close to the high end of my unrealistic Easter goal which was 15-20. I just may make it!

Like Switzie I like to strive for goals. So I'll go for 20 too. I may not reach it but I'll do a great job trying!

I guess I'd start once I reach my Easter goal or Easter- whichever is first?

Hope I make it!

Default Mothers day challenge!

I will give this a try -- let's see, that's about 8 weeks. A realistic goal for me will be 4kg. Here's to a successful challenge!

Thumbs up

Hmmm....this is my first mini-goal also. That's nearly 8 weeks...10 lbs is realistic for me, I guess. That would put me at my 10%, which would be really great.

Here's wishing everyone !

My goal is 163....17lbs from where I am now. WOW...163 when I think about that it amazes me I haven't been in the 160's since...grade 10 maybe. I can't even fathom my end weight haven't been that since grade 6 or 7 :S I am having trouble breaking the 180 mark my body seems to want to stick at the 10's...i got stuck at 210, 200, 190 and now 180. I am hoping to be 178 by friday

This is my first mini goal too! 10lbs by Mother's Day. Not too much, but not too little either.

Cheryl,
I'm in! My goal is to eat within my calorie range 1200-1400 cals during the week and up to 1600 on the weekend. Plus I will exercise every day! I want to make this a habit!! I would love to finally get to my goal weight. It's taking forever.

Hugs, Dena
