20 pound Summer Challenge
 

There are a full 13 weeks until the start of summer, June 20th, from today. At first I was going to call it "25 pound challenge", but that wouldn't leave much room for slip ups and life in general. So, here is something that's very much possible, for some that's like your goal amount right there and for others (like me!) that's a portion of it.

Who'd like to join in? I'm a novice at this btw :D

*I won't have my signature for another two weeks or so, so my starting weight (1 pound up from last week) is 182lbs, so my goal is to be at 162 pounds by June 20th.

Morning SleepyOwl! I shall hop on board. My starting weight is 192, as of this morning, so my goal for June 20th would be 172. I shall be very happy if I get there!

I'll hop on too! I am just getting started at 199, so my goal for June 20th will be 179- more would be great, but we know how that goes!

Hi SleepyOwl!

I'd like to join too. I'm currently 141 lbs, so my summer goal is 121. That would be great to get there! Right now I am still struggling to lose my first pounds...

I'm in for this challenge. My SW is 252.2 and my goal is 232.2 (exactly 20 lbs). I am currently at 23 lbs lost so far and my goal is 235 lbs by July 31, 2016 (from my starting weight of 275.5 on January 9, 2016).

Can I play??
SW 274

I have been hoping for a spring challenge to pop up :coffee2:

My starting weight will be 195 ( even though I had a bed eating weekend and TOM happened so I am 196 right now) but I want to get down to 175 by the start of summer sooo woohoo lets do this :beach:

are we going to do a weekly weigh in or just go about it however we please and check in?

I'm down 0.8 this morning. Did 2.39 miles on the elliptical last night on fat burn doing intervals of really fast (for cardio) and slow (focusing on my heart rate and keeping it in the weight loss range)

I weigh daily, but my "official" weigh-in date is Monday. So, I will report my progress based on my Monday weight. Thus far, I am down just over a pound from when I signed up for this challenge. Although that might seem good, my starting weight came after a temporary up, so the down just reversed that. Nevertheless, I'll take what I can get! :carrot:

SW: 192.00

Good luck to all!

Checking in
 

Good evening everyone,

I'm so sorry for starting off as an absentee host. Welcome one and all :cheer2: I did not expect such a response.

I wish everyone luck in reaching their goals!!! I know for me, even if I'm somewhere around near it, I'd be ecstatic as I've been on a 2 year plateau.

Congratulations on a great start Mama_Angel_2006 and Tuscany. Tuscany I'd say that still means you're headed in the right direction :)

Hmm, xopeaceandlovexo I'd say whenever everyone decides is best for themselves to weigh in? I'm probably going to stick to once/twice per week, typically Mondays.

As of Monday, my weight was 180.2. So I'm down about 1.8 lbs. Which, is due in large part to the fact that I've started tracking on my fitness pal. I'm someone who began their weightless journey with the weight watchers points plus program, so I never considered my full caloric intake.

I am in, 20 lbs by the beginning of summer. I am starting at 185/186, I do not know yet because I am on vacation this week. I hope to be up maybe a pound or so. I made healthy choices and walked a lot. Let's see, I weigh in on Tuesday.

Welcome! Hopefully, you're not up by too much :)

I managed to survive the Easter weekend unscathed, and I made it into a new decade last week...woohoo! :carrot:

Good luck to all this week!

When I weighed in this morning, it was 180.2. So no change. Which is better than a gain, which I could be looking at if I don't burn off those ribs I had this afternoon :( First thing tomorrow morning I'll be back at it! :)

I am new to this site. I would like to join in. I weight 158.8 and would like to loose 15 pounds by 6/20/16.

Good Morning all! I am down a bit which I am happy with because even though I stayed within my calories for the weekend I did not eat well on Easter...oops :bunny:

Hello,

Welcome to the challenge Catz3. Best of luck!

I love summer challenges - summer is by far the greatest motivation!
I'd like to reach goal by May 31s.

By June 20th, I'd like to have maintained -AND to have succeeded in being able to do one pullup!!

Yeah, I did not gain any weight during my vacation. I stayed on the diet for breakfast and lunch, then I made good choices for dinner but definitely not diet material. I am fine with not losing anything during the week.
Let's start losing again, next weigh in on Friday.

Hi I'm in
my weight today is 169.6lbs
goal 150 lbs by 6/20/16

At first I was hesitant about doing this challenge, but even if I don't quite get there it's always nice to have a goal to work towards.

Weight this morning (03/30): 176.1
Goal (06/20): 155

Good luck everyone!

I'm up a little over a pound. But I'm not too disheartened as it's less than what I measured midweek. And, there are another 11 weeks left! I'll be very happy when classes end, and my workout schedule can be regulated. This thread is kind of keeping me accountable, lol.

I'm so excited to see all of the ladies that joined, and I wish all of you the best with this challenge.

Stayed on plan last week, but was up and down. I ended up losing 0.75 lbs. over the week. Not much, but it beats a gain!

I am going on a trip in late June, so even though I am getting a late start here I would like to join the challenge. I weighed in this morning and I was 175, Looking to get outside for some fresh air and exercise this weekend! Will check in on Monday.

Rechyl, you are my hero we have similar goal, but you are out in front of me, I hope we make it.

its hard but i honestly believe we can do it as long as we keep at it. if you have a bad day, week, month, whatever, just get back on it as soon as you can

A reasonably decent drop this past week!

It is nice to see that there are some people with similar goals in the 160's.
