I'm in!

I am 226 today. I just lost 10
pounds in the last 5 days on the Master Cleanse and I have 5 more days of that and I am hoping for 10 more (in 07 I lost 17 lbs in 10 days on it), and then I will be transitioning to the cookie diet. I will step up my working out and journal what I eat and how much I work out. This is my plan....

Starting weight is 230. Ultimate goal, well for this challenge anyway. Onderland. If I can hit that, it'll be the lowest I've been in years. I'm not asking much. Just your typical 2 lbs a week. But can I manage that? I say I can! Woot. And this is the perfect challenge. My husband's due home by the February 19th. ^^

LBLAZY · 10-18-2009, 07:25 PM

I definitely want to do this. I think this will help hold me accountable to my goals! My goal will be 180 by Valentine's Day. I don't think I've been 180 since beginning highschool, and I'd really like to get below that before my college graduation in May. I'm currently 212, so that's about 1.75 pounds a week. I'm excited, and I hope we can all help each other reach our goals!

BlondeWoman · 10-19-2009, 12:52 AM

I've been dieting almost 6 weeks. I haven't weighed myself (chicken-livered, I know, but I knew I'd get hung up on the number) and so far I've gone down about a dress size. A pair of slacks I bought that originally demanded extreme upper body strength to fasten them are now quite comfy and have some give in the legs and seat now. So that's good. I'm thinking 7 to 10 pounds a month, more or less.

I'm about a 14 now- was a 16 and still wear a couple 16s I have that are cut well and look nice when loose.

My wedding anniversay is just after Valentine's day so mid Feb is a perfect "landmark date" for me. I'm thinking maybe about 30 more pounds by then and would maybe be between a 10 and a 12. This wouldn't be my goal weight/size but would make a great mini goal.

Loving Me · 10-19-2009, 07:14 AM

I'd like to join in please. This will be my first Challenge on 3FC and I'm really excited. I've only just seen the post so will start from my weigh in last Friday and go to the Friday before Valentines, so 17 weeks for me. I'm going to go for roughly 1.5lbs a week so 26lbs in total which will get me down to 223.5lbs (under 225!) and into the 15 stones for the first time in a LONG time, I think even before I had my DD who is almost 7.

10/16/09 - 249.5
10/23/09 - 246.5
10/30/09 - 245
11/06/09 - 241.5

12/04/09 - 230
12/11/09 - 229.5
12/18/09 - 225.5
12/25/09 - 225.5
01/01/10 - 224
01/08/10 - 222.5

01/29/10 - 215
02/05/10 - 213
02/12/10 - 210!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I actually got 13.5lbs PAST my goal for Valentine's Day. I am SO happy it's unbelievable. I'm learning that I really can do anything I put my mind to!

McKenziesmomma · 10-19-2009, 02:10 PM

I would also like to join in this challenge. It seems that the previous challenge I was participating in has withered away

Being realistic in my weight loss expectations has always been really hard for me. I would have to say its my biggest down fall. I set really high and unattainable goals, and when I don't meet them I give up. OR I realize all the hard work that goes into reaching unrealistic goals and give up. I'm determined to make small achievable goals....and start out slow with eating right and exercising and build up.....

So here are my goals

10/20/09~ 259 - START WEIGHT
10/27/09~ 257
11/03/09~ 255
11/10/09~ 253
11/17/09~ 251
11/24/09~ 249
12/01/09~ 247
12/08/09~ 245
12/15/09~ 243
12/22/09~ 241
12/29/09~ 239
01/05/10~ 237
01/12/10~ 235
01/19/10~ 233
01/26/10~ 231
02/02/10~ 229
02/09/10~ 227
02/14/10~ 225

My goal is to lose 2 pounds per week. This amounts to cutting 7,000 calories per week from diet or through exercising....which amounts to about 1,000 calories per day.

I plan on cutting 700 per day from my daily calorie intake, and by cutting 300 per day by exercising 30-45 minutes per day.

I will eat 1,500 calories or less per day which will be divided into 3 meals and 2 snacks.

I WILL NOT get greedy and change my goals to unrealistic expectations. Sometimes when I start losing weight...I will lose 3-4 pounds a week for the first few weeks....then I start expecting to lose that much and when I don't I give up. I will stay the course and know that 2 pounds a week is very doable and realistic for me....if I just stick with it. And come Valentine's Day...I will be able to say that I have lost 34 pounds with this challenge and a total of 42 pounds all together!!!

frieden · 10-19-2009, 02:33 PM

I'm in. I'll go for 1 lb a week, and exercising at least five days per week. Right now I'm at 134, and I think I'd want to lose at least 17 more lbs, but maybe not, so I might have to let that goal drop as time goes on.

Wow, I'm so excited to have so many people doing this with me too. Thanks again for joining. We're just about to our first check in. Good luck!

Oh and Miss Mallee, you checked in a day early

You could check in tomorrow just to see...you never know what a difference a day can make! And good job on not gaining...hey, that's hard enough as it is, sometimes, I know!

garnetrising · 10-20-2009, 01:01 PM

First weigh in. I almost didn't believe my eyes. But then I stepped of and back on a few times and when it read the same thing every time, I accepted it as truth. ^^
