So for this challenge just the last 3lbs i have to lose...well se will see what the starting weight is tomorrow but I want to make it to 115.

1) lost 3lbs
2) stay within my calorie range
3) keep not drinking pop
4) find a great job
5) pamper myself more!

That should be good for now. I'm so happy to be with you again!

Here I am ready to join in the Memorial Day Challenge! Welcome to all the new faces and hey to all the friends I made here during the last challenge.

Ok, my goals this time are:

1. To get down to 188. That's an 8 pound loss and I'm afraid it is going to be ambitious to lose 8 in one month but I'm going to give it my best try!

2. To fit wonderfully in my new size 12 shorts!

3. To get my 50 pounds lost Avatar!!

I'm in. I've lost 27 pounds since the end of December and I need a little push. I hoping to find some extra motivation on these boards.

1) Loose 5 lbs (be at 170)
2) Do a varying calorie but average 1575 cal per day
3) Do 3 cardio hours and 3 weight training hours per week at the gym.

Good luck to all of you!

Crap!
 
ok...i just weighed in and my head is hanging...ARG! Todays weight was 181.0 OMG...i did eat a lot of salty foods yesterday but DANG, I didn't think it was that much. So My goal for this challenge is to be at 170, yep 11lbs. Im pretty sure im holding onto a least 5lbs of water weight so in reality that's about 6lbs...will see.

There is one thing im going to cut out and that's Whiskey, i was doing GREAT yesterday but after a drink I dove into a box of fruity peebles:( so, no more whiskey. It lowers my will power...

Today i plan on getting in some lower body weights, then some yoga. I may do some cardio later on the treadmill since im holding onto sooooo much water. The house is clean so i don't have anything else to do,LOL;)

ok, later gators:cool:

I'm in for another challenge ladies. My goals this month:

* Post at least once a week here.
* Drop 10lbs this month (Current weight 295)- weigh in tomorrow.
* Stay committed to going to the gym and working out with my personal trainer.
* Continue rocking my awesomeness. Haha. I mean this one a lot. I go home to the USA in less than 61 days now and I can not wait for my family to see my progress so far. I am looking forward to a 2 month visit with them before I return to South Korea for another year of teaching and continue moving forward with my bf.

Good luck to everyone in this challenge. If you need extra motivation feel free to join up on other challenges too. On May 31st the Biggest Loser Summer Challenge will be starting in another section of the 3fc forum. I'll be leading a team for the first time. Check it out whether you have 5lbs to lose or 100+ pounds to lose its a great way to keep connected just like we do here with the CC challenges.

Morning all!!

Welcome to all the newbies as well!!

Well, I had a decently good weekend so far, but not according to the scale. ?. I gained 4 pounds!!! I have no idea how that happened...The only thing I can think of is I haven't been drinking enough water and TOM is soon so maybe it's water weight...Alright here are my goals:

1. my SW is going to be 263 and i'm going to shoot for 15 pounds on this challenge, making my goal weight 248. I hope I pass this with flying colors!

2. I want to exercise at least 6 days out of the week, 45-60 min each time, like I used to.

3. get all my water in, every day

That should be about it I think. I really want to do well on this challenge. I kicked butt on the St Patty's day challenge and completely lost it during the Arbor day challenge. Another goal: keep my motivation up!

Have a good day!

TXMary2 05-01-2010 12:49 PM

I'm in - this will be my first challenge. My goal is to lose 8 pounds by May 31st.

KDM322 05-01-2010 02:06 PM

WOW SOOO MANY NEWBIES!!! I LOVE IT!!! You guys will find these CC challenges so motivating and helpful...if ya ever have a problem, just ask away and one of us should be able to help! And it doesn't have to be WL or CC related! :) WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

And for my previous challenge buddies (ya'll know how ya are)...YAY! We're back! Even if some of us didn't meet our goals last month, we still got to know each other better!!! I LOVE THE SUPPORT WE GET ON THESE THINGS!!!

Lori--Thanks again for being so pro-active and starting these CC Holiday Challenges! And BTW, (not sure if I mentioned it on the AD Challenge) your hair LOOKS FABULOUS!!! So are the new meds working? You said you were outside all day yesterday at 80degrees, did you have any breathing problems??

Susie--Congrats on those size 12s...you'll be fitting comfortably into them in no time...that's what I'm hoping for too! In some brands they're still a little tight, but then others, they fit fine in the legs & loose in the stomach! WE'LL GET THERE SOON!!!! TOGETHER

Jdon--CONGRATS on PASSING & GRADUATING!! How exciting! PLUS you did it all with losing weight! I'm such a stress eater, I probably would've gained during a time like that ( come to think of it, I probably did, just don't remember how much! Haha)

Amelia--I'm sure you're right about that being water weight! I HATE WATER WEIGHT! LoL You'll be back down to where you're supposed to be in no time...you're such a big exerciser, so it shouldn't be a problem...also, I totally know what you mean about alcohol lowering you're willpower...when I drink, I wanna eat everything in sight! and usually give in to McD's or something bad like that!! haha GOOD LUCK

Farn--You made such a come back! YOU GO GIRL!! You're gonna rock this challenge! And TOM is more than likely the culprit for your "no-reason-gain"!! When I WI, mine's probably gonna be up to for that same stupid reason! I HATE TOM! lol (as I've said many times before)

Shan84--Nice to see you posting again...so how long has it been since you've been to visit your family?? and how much have you lost since that last visit? How exciting for them to see your progress...I also live away from fam(just not as far as you :D ) and haven't been home in 5months so when I go in 2 wks, it's gonna be a shocker for them :) GOOD LUCK ROCKIN YOUR AWESOMENESS!!!

shylah--Good call on the scale...not always the best way...but don't get discouraged, as we all know, our bodies are still changing even if the scale isn't!!

aluxa--Good Luck w/your thesis and gettin into those 10s!! Also, good idea not being too ambitious & realizing the loss is slowing...IMHO, setting a challenge goal too high can end 2 ways...it can drive you to go harder and attempt to reach it OOOOR it's totally undo-able and we get discouraged when we can't reach that challenge goal...i learned that after 3 or 4 failed challenges! haha

Northern--Be safe going to TX! Once again, I'm sorry for your loss and wish you the best of luck staying OP while traveling! All we can do is try our best!

Jiggle--I'm sure you'll be in those TSP 16's before the end of May...the way you WO, it'll probably be by the 15th! or sooner!

mkyice--C25K is a great program...I did it at the beginning of the year...never thought in a thousand years I would run for 30min straight, but I did it! it didn't equal 5k(3mi), but it was just over 2...I need to work on going faster, but atleast I know I can jump on the TM and run for a good while (well, longer than used to!) GOOD LUCK!
Async, Cherbear, Eumie, Beach, Fitin10, TXMary, YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THESE CC CHALLENGES!!! IF YOU SIGN IN REGULARLY, YOU'LL LEARN ALOT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND REALLY MAKE SOME GREAT FRIENDS!!! We're here for each other and in my own personal experience, they've helped me drop so much weight that I couldn't have done on my own!!!

misspriss78 05-01-2010 02:12 PM

thanks Krista...just popping in to say HEY GIRL! Im off to do some laundry!

Everyone have a good weekend!:carrot:ROCK IT!!!:cool:

KDM322 05-01-2010 02:21 PM

SORRY about the lengthy post above, I've just been MIA for a couple days and wanted to comment on everyone!!! :)

As for me, I reported late yesterday evening that I surpassed my Arbor Day goal by 1.4lbs...SW:177.4, GW:172.4, CW: 171.0....AND I figured out I can live without chocolate! haha So, I'm gonna see how long I can go without having a piece of chocolate candy! And as for the donuts that come to the office every Friday, I'm gonna keep away from them also! But weighing only once a week, well I'm giving that up! haha I'm gonna weigh whenever, but since Memorial Day is on a Monday, I'm gonna change my official WI day to Monday...

That being said, here are my goals for this challenge:
1) Lose 4lbs, taking me to 167.0
2) Fit into sz. 12 COMFORTABLY in most brands
3) Eat NOTHING 3hrs before going to bed (this is a big downfall for me, so I'm gonna set it as a goal for this month to try & create a new habit)

OK Enough outta me for today! I'm off to do my 6th day on 30 Day Shred...

BTW Jiggle, I've decided to measure after I complete each Level...I put on 2 different pairs of work pants Thurs & Fri (both size 14), and they are loose where they weren't loose before!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR INSPIRING ME TO GET 30DS!! I'm seeing results after just 5 WO's!!!

SugarRox 05-01-2010 03:30 PM

Hi Everyone!!

This will be my first CC Challenge. My goal is to weigh 154 by May 31st.

I just started CC again this week and so far I havent been able to make my goal of 1500 calories a day. This is my first week back at it so I figure its just an adjustment that Im trying to get use to. I do good all day but then I always go WAY over at dinner. I WILL get better though.

Good Luckeveryone!!!

-Rox

Lori259 05-01-2010 04:28 PM

KDM- I haven't been home for a year and a half. I have lost almost 100lbs in that time. (I'm only 4lbs away as of right now to the 100lb mark). Still have a long ways to go but 100lbs is a 100lbs. Haha. Hope your doing well.
