I'm in! I fell off the C25K bandwagon when I got sick, but now that I'm almost recovered I have no excuse.

So, since our goal date is just under 9 weeks away, I'm going to call it 9, and commit to finishing the C25K program by 31 October.

Here goes...!

I was trying to figure out a goal for September but wasn't sure what to do because I'm having fibroid surgery and don't know how that will affect me. So, instead, I'll do this challenge and say seven pounds by Halloween. I did three pounds this month, so putting that as my goal should be reasonable. That would put me at 210. I don't have a signature, so I'll have to make one.

Hi, I'd like to join. I did a 'nonchallenge' challenge last month but didn't make much progress. I have between 15-20 pounds I'd like to let go of, so I'll say my goal is 7 pounds by Halloween.

Current Weight: 142
Goal by Halloween: 135

Eny~40 Wall push ups in a row. How many can you do with out stopping for rest? Two weeks off, had to start some where! Pat

Okay, I'm in. I had already set my Halloween goal at 170#, so that'll be 11# down.
SW: 181
GW: 170
I'm off to update my signature line!

Pat - I do girly ones on my knees - and I just finished the test again... 34!!!! I'm SO IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF!!! But Wow - those were TOUGH!!! Seriously, not bad for slacking so much lately huh?

I take it we're going to challenge ourselves to do the 100 pushup challenge again!! WOO HOO! I'm going to schedule out my workouts... EVERYDAY! Some days will be 20 mins, some an hour... I'm going to mix it up so that I don't get bored, and I keep my body guessing. So i'm going to schedule in the push ups too! IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TAKE CONTROL!!!

Today was the last day of binging... I didn't really mean to, but it happened. I have to retrain my body after these few weeks of hiatis! so I'm at 1940 cals today. Tomorrow - back to the 1200-1500 range!!! And I WILL GET IN A MINIMUM of 100 oz. of Water!!! I know that alone will help me lose the sodium weight that I've collected! Maybe I can lose more then #18 in the 9ish weeks! (Would that !)

Again - to all the newbies - and to all the familiar faces. I'm REALLY excited about this challenge!

I will weigh in on Fridays also.

You know this place is a great place to go for support...but I really wish I had someone close to here like one of you guys really bad! I really could use a workout partner or soemone who could help keep me motivated!

[McKenziesmomma]

[tmil206]

hello all, im deffinetly in. i have a big halloween party to go to start of november, so for haloween day i will like to loose all i have left which is (today 8lbs) put a couple on over the weekend, hoping its water weight.

id like to loose more then that but 8 would be amazing....id also like to loose 8 quicker then that but i know my body is slow, and TOM will mess me over...so its a good solid target.
GOOD LUCK LADIES :-)

Mel - I know! It'd be nice to have someone call me on the phone at 9:30 everynight to make sure I did my exercising! The people that are closest to me (all over weight) just don't care... they complain about it, but they aren't ready to do anything yet. Even my sister and my mom - because of all of the jealousy and family drama -we DEFINATELY do not say ANYTHING about what we're doing to lose weight...

As for the pushup challenge - this is what we're doing: www.hundredpushups.com

And just so everyone knows - looking at the SCALE this morning was VERY VERY SCARY!!!

[Chemgirl22]

This sounds like fun!

I'd like to be 199 by Halloween, so that's a 15 pound weight loss.
