I'm in another challenge with a very similar goal date, however I just got back from vacation and added a few pounds so I'm behind schedule on that one. Plus I like the idea of weighing in once a month so I'm in.

AWESOME!!!!!! I'm excited, ladies. I was crossing my fingers for at least one person to join me, but this is better than I could have imagined. LET'S DO THIS! I'm putting my shoes on right now and getting ready to walk.

I am definitely in! I love the summer time, and this challenge is great because the summer solstice falls 6 days before my birthday, and I would love to be at one of my goals by then!

SW- 225
GW- 180 or less(will prefer less but i will still be happy for 180 lol)

I like the once-a-month weigh in. I'd love to be comfortable wearing shorts this summer!

Hello PUPMOM5, MizMelis, muddpies, and Pink_Hurricane!! Feel free to check in throughout the month to say hello or ask for some motivation. Sometimes we all need a little extra push. I know I could go for one right now! I haven't worked out in two days, and I over indulged over the weekend! I need to get back to work.

I am in ladies!!
I need challenges to keep me motivated!!

SO nice to meet you all and can't wait to get to know you!!

I am so excited to meet this challenge! We are probably going to the beach in July, and I will be able to wear a swimsuit without a skirt if I reach my challenge goal :)

*sigh* I'm *dying* to start going to the gym again. Seriously, I had this big conversation with a couple of my friends yesterday and one of them goes to the gym that i want to join when i move to the city(hopefully moving by May). I'm starting to get bored doing this just at home.

I want to join this challenge! I would like to hit my goal weight by June 21st. Now that I am getting closer it is getting harder to lose the weight but I am hoping to lose the last 32lbs by the beginning of summer.

SW ~ 176.8
CW ~ 176.8
GW ~ 145

I''l come back on the 21st and post with the rest of the group! Good luck!! :hug:

Hmmm - I keep setting myself a 5 pound goal every month. Maybe this will keep me on track.

Today's weight = 192.6

February 21st:190/192.4

March 21st:185/193 not good. Wrong way!

April 21st:180/

May 21st:175/

June 21st: 170/ which will be the lowest weight since I retired in 1998!

(I'm setting up timely reminders to come in and update this whether or not I am down.)

THANK YOU! :)

I love your dedication. :carrot:Whether or not we reach our monthly goal I think that we should NEVER give up.

Well I've been wanting to lose weight but I haven't actually had the motivation to just start doing what I need to do right. So maybe a challenge will help :D
I am hoping to lose 5-10lbs a month.
February 21st:179/
March 21st:174-169/
April 21st:169-159/
May 21st:154-149/
June 21st:144-139/

I ended up reaching my first goal 5 days (including today) ahead of schedule !!

Hello ladies. My goal was to lose all my weight in 1 year. I think is will take longer than 365 days but every day I get closer. I planned to lose 105lbs and I have lost 53 already. July 27 will be my 1 year anniversary. June 21 is a month early but close enough.

I am in a First day of spring Challenge to get to 199. I have 13lbs and 5 weeks to go. I am not sure if I will make it but I will be closer to my ultimate goal than when I started. December and January were hard months. I am trying to get back on plan with diet and exercise.

Once a month weight in I will have to set up reminders too. 6lbs a month would be 24lbs lost which would be 188. My goal weight will be 185 which is rounded down. S0 my goal will be to lose 27lbs (in 4 months) by the first of summer.

February 21st: 211 lbs.
March 21st: 206.8lbs (not a good month)
April 21st:

Forgot to check in on the 21st...oops!

I had originally posted that I wanted to make my ultimate goal(145lbs) by the first day of summer. But after some reflection of my weight loss the last few weeks, I realize that it is not going to happen. I have been losing about 1 lb a week, so I have changed my monthly goals to a 4lb loss each month. If I get more, well that is awesome!!

Good luck this month!! :hug:

February 21st ~ 175 actual
March 21st ~ gw/171
April 21st ~ gw/167
May 21st ~ gw/163
June 21st ~ gw/159

I just got on here to see what my March 21 goal is (181), and that means 6 pounds in three weeks. I can do this. We all can do this. I love these challenges because they really motivate me to keep up with my plan!

One week until next "21" weigh in! I'm not sure I'll meet my goal, but hopefully I'll be close! Hope you guys are still with me on this challenge!

3 days to the weigh in. I have another 2lbs to lose to reach my goal for the month. Its all good. This last month I was on a huge plateau. Its finally starting to break. Eating too much salt last night did not help. LOL.
Have a great day Ladies.

Weigh-in day!!! I did so well the first month I thought I needed to update my goals so that's what the extra number is for.

I didn't hit goal this month, but I'm hoping its due to TOM, and I'll have a little whoosh in a couple of days!

This morning I was at 181.4, so I'm calling that close enough to my 181 by 3/21 date! So far I have been .4 pounds above goal each month. I could live with that!
