Luscious by labor day
 

One of the things that keeps me on track, or lets me know when I need to get back on track are the challenges. I participate in other challenges like the independence day challenge and sarge's no excuse boot camp; the easter challenge just ended so I thought, why not do a long term goal challenge? Thus was born Luscious by labor day. My goal is to get to 260/259 by independence day but that may not happen at this rate :p I would like to see 250/249 by labor day which is sept 5th. Who is with me?

I liked the idea of using a spreadsheet like we did for the easter challenge so here it is. Luscious by Labor day Spreadsheet

I encourage everyone to join, men, women, young,old...lots to lose, not so much. We can do this!!

Count me in!
I'd love to be at 130 point something for labour day! I start my second year of uni the day after so it would be awesome to surprise all my old school buddies with my new body! :-)

I would like to reach 190 by Labor Day... Count me in. :carrot:

SW: 209
Goal for Labor Day: 190

Count me in. I hope no body minds but I added a goal weight column to the sheet to make it easier to track. I'll help build in the formulas later.

Not a problem any input to make this challenge great is awesome! so glad im not the only one!!

Is it too late for me to join in? If not, I'm aiming for onederland by Labor day. I'll be going to a weddinig in Seattle that weekend and it would be so nice to reach this goal by then.

My current weight is 225 and I'd like to be at 199.

Never to late gettin fit;) All are welcome at anytime!

added my goal weight..

how's everyone then? I'm on my day 3 of 30 day shred.. I hope I can complete this one.. planning on doing this 5x a week..

Good morning Pretzel and all who follow,

Great job on doing the 30 day shred. You WILL complete it :carrot: I have the DVD but have never opened it.

I'm on day 4 being back OP. So far so good. I did Hip Hop Abs on Tuesday and the Firm yesterday. Today I'll probably just have time for a quick walk.

Stay strong everyone and have a great day!

Can't wait til our first weigh in. :carrot:

:welcome: pretzel! Glad you could join us!!!

Driven - Me either!!! I'm like wanting it to be sunday already I think we can ALL do this! i also do sarge's boot camp to summer and the 100 day 100% challenge so lots to keep me on track!

To all you 30 day shredders how is it? I was thinking about getting it, but I often dont have time/room to do dvd's (I live with people who only tell me I can't do this and make fun of me when I do exercise in front of them) I'm thinking i might get it and do it whenever they are all in their rooms.

Woohoo! I'm excited to join this challenge! I just signed up on this site today so joining a challenge should help me kick off my weightloss! I will add in my info tomorrow when I step on the scale to enter my exact weight!

Hello all!! I'd love to join this challenge! ;) I'm hoping for 166 by Sept 5-6- that is 32.8lbs, will be out of obese category by then.

SMS and everyone else regarding 30 day shred- I had a hard time doing it at first-there's a lot of jumping up and down and it hurt my jiggly stomach at first. Oh yea, make sure you wear a well fitted sports bra or wear a good bra with sports bra over it to keep the girls in place. I read that people did not like Level 1 at first so they skipped it and went on to Level 2. I just started Level 3 today- ohhhh man, it KICKED my butt, legs, etc! LoL I have to say I have a love and hate relationship with 30 day shred. :) For this dvd, you will need a pair of free weight dumbbells, 3-5lbs or just use soup cans.

Looking forward to this challenge and meetin' ya all! ;)

SMS- Ugh, the people you live with does not sound supportive at all!! I would just ignore them and focus on yourself, easier said than done, I know but your health and well being is important. ;) You do need some room for the dvd and it is only 27-28 minutes (including warm up and cool down.)

:Welcome: vegan and amandie! Great to have you join us!

Amandie - Thanks for letting me know, I have the dvd in my living room might just need to do it late at night. No, they aren't supportive, mainly out of jealousy, we are all overweight here. My mother is 4" shorter and about 100 lbs heavier so meh. I defo need to find a way to do some dvd's I think. I definitely just ignore them but still. Kinda would rather avoid them altogether you know?

Hi there, I'd like to join! I hope I can lose 30 pounds by labor day! :carrot:

Welcome missita!

Ok I'm in... Although I will be going on a cruise in may so that will be a little "break" but even with that I believe I can get to 190 which is 30lbs by labor day!!!

Good evening everyone,

Welcome Amandie, Missita & Misstiff,

I wish you all much success on this journey.

Misstiff, I'll be cruising in November and I am trying so hard to lose about 40 pounds by then.

SMS - sorry you don't get to workout in peace. Hopefully, once they see your great results, they'll jump on board.

My day ended well and I'm looking forward to another good one tomorrow. I am off work tomorrow but it will be easy for me to stay OP.

Have a great evening.

One can only hope eh gettinfit? LOL Glad your day ended well. I did do the 30 day shred last night at about 11:30 pm and hoooowweee is it a workout. I didnt do alot of the jumping stuff cause everyone was sleeping but yea.....WOW.

Hopefully today is AWESOME for all!

Hey All,
I'm in too. A tracking long term goal would be great. I can use all the help I can get :)
I've added in my stats and I look forward to our first weigh in and weekly updates from everyone.
Thanks!

Welcome k3ll3y! glad you could join us!

Hey all, hope your week is going well! I'm away from my scale till Monday due to being in a wedding this weekend, so I entered my weight from this morning as my May 1st measurement. Good luck with the upcoming weigh-in everyone!

Welcome ILR! Have fun at the wedding!

count me in dreamer! I'm also aiming for 250 by labor day so lets do it!

YAY!!! destiny!!! :welcome: so glad you let me pull you in here hehehe :hug:

i'm gonna jump on the "250 by labor day" bandwagon!

i'll be moving to a new area, and starting a new job and i know 250 isn't slim by any stretch of the imagination (unless you're like, 15 feet tall) but it's definitely an improvement over my current weight of 276!

k0nfy :welcome: Were bout the same right now...we can do this right? :cheer: :cheer: I think 250 is a great goal!


How is everyone else doing in the first week of the challenge?

Im grazing a lot today (planning for pizza tonight) drinking my water and feeling good!

i'm keeping the foods light today too. i've had a serving of cashews (i counted out the 43 pieces!), some of the leftover meatballs from my bridal shower last night, and a TON of water. my bladder is yelling at me.

k0nfy so nice to see someone else jump on the bandwagon. No matter how much or how little we can lose it! Way to go with what you've already lost! :-)

thanks! my doctor yelled at me when i went in on march 14th, so i started my diet on march 15th. i'm hoping by june when i go in for my appointment i can be more than 30lbs down because she said "well you could diet and exercise..." like it would be impossible for me! pfft...

my brain is wired in such a way that if you tell me i can't do something, i will prove you wrong just to be contrary.
