Make 2014 Your Goal Year! Challenge 3/6: Easter Sunday to Start of Summer
 

This tread is part of a 2014 yearly challenge;
See Challenge 1 HERE
See Challenge 2 HERE

On Sunday the 20th of April, Challenge 3 will begin! Do you want to look great for the summer? I know I do! Whether I will be able to be in a bikini or just feel comfortable in a one piece, I’m ready for this! Maybe you even have an event over the next few weeks which you want to drop a couple of pounds for, come in and join us! :carrot:

Weigh in days for Challenge 3 will be on Saturdays. This is to coincide with the start of Summer (i.e June 21st) being a Saturday and when Challenge 3 ends. However, I know that people have their own weigh in days so you can weigh in on or before the Saturday each week.




Challenge 3 is now open for editing in the spreadsheet! (Please make sure you are viewing the Challenge 3 worksheet on the spreadsheet!) Please fill in Column’s A,B & C to start with. I will update D after a couple of days. Then each week enter under the correct date. I will update Column N each week, so you don’t have to do anything with that one either.

Note on the spreadsheet:
As this is a yearly challenge, the spreadsheet will be used for the entire year. This means that there won't only be one worksheet in the spreadsheet. If you click into the spreadsheet, down below there are different worksheets. They read Challenge 1 - Completed!, Challenge 2 - Completed!, Challenge 3 - Current Challenge. When you are signing up for this challenge, make sure you add your name to the Challenge 3 worksheet. The spreadsheet will automatically open up on the Challenge 1 worksheet. ;)

Anyone can join in any time during the year! You’re encouraged to set goals/targets too. You can copy the format below or use your own format. Best of luck. :) :carrot:

Woohoooo! Going for 17 pounds this time. That's going to be a little harder, but if I were to lose this amount I would be at my original low weight of 180. Haven't seen that number in a long time! I'm hoping that will give me the motivation to kick this challenge in the butt. :D

I hope by then I have at least maintained a healthy weight. 79kg would be ideal goal.(4.5kg loss)

I'm in! I've been good with exercise but having a lot of trouble maintaining my calorie deficit. It's just down to a lack of self discipline I think, so I'm hoping this will motivate me!

I'm leaving for a 2 week trip to Scotland and Iceland on the 21st, so this should be perfect timing!

We can do it! We are still here and not giving up. We are strong! :strong:

I decided to weigh in a day early to make Saturday weigh ins consistent. I was quite pleased that for the first time in ages I've actually dropped a bit of weight! It might be related to a recent 2-day break from exercise, but I'll take it.

Bring on the challenge!

Keep a going! Gonna try to refocus and get to goal.

Count me in for this challenge! A few years ago I went from 190 to 145 and got in the best shape of my life, even completed several triathlons. After a bad knee injury I've gained all the weight back and I've been struggling to get my fitness back.

My goals for Challenge 3 will be to reach: 180 lbs and to do my first 5k since the injury.

Ok, I haven't lost a pound since November ... because I've been focusing on my running. Now though, I have to lose weight to make the exercise easier.

Good luck everyone!

Had to weigh in a day early because I'll be camping(!) this weekend. Unfortunately no loss. I'm up 0.8, which I'm thinking may be due to exercise. Last week when I weighed in I had 2 rest days right before that and a 2 pound associated woosh.

I'm doing well with staying active but I really need to try harder with my deficit.

Eater weekend wreaked havoc on my diet, and I'm still trying to undo it!! Eurgh. However, I've also started running and my muscles are all kinds of feelin' it.

Down 0.4 this week. I know it's better than a gain, but I really did well with eating (measuring, not taking bites from the kids' meals, not going over calories) this week, and I started my walking routine again (3 miles every morning). I suppose it could be the walking. I hesitate to call it exercise, though I usually walk briskly and finish in under an hour.

I am debating adding calories, maybe my daily calories are too low (1320 plus I eat back additional activity calories earned). It seems so counter-intuitive though. I may stay where I'm at for one more week then think about it again next week.

I have been in the 170s for months now. I'm seriously getting frustrated!!!

I just got back from a week at the beach where I ate and drank everything in sight. Sees Easter candy was also problematic. I can't even face the scale. My last weigh in was 153 but I'm sure I'm way up. Totally recommitted now for challenge 3. My daughter's graduating in June and my mom and I are taking her to Europe for three weeks. I'm going to meet my goal of 140 this time.

What the heck happened?
 

This is me, except I'm not so far into my weight loss journey as forkeeps. It seems like things we're rolling right along at a couple pounds a week until I started actually getting disciplined. :lol: I just started and I'm morbidly obese; I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more than a half pound. Sigh... oh well, I'm in it for the long haul, so I'll just keep on keeping on and if things don't improve, I'll adapt and overcome.
