  • I would just love to lose SOME weight instead of just going up. I'll join the challenge.

    Good Luck Everyone !
  • I would like to be under 250. I have not seen under 250 probably in 7 years.
  • I'd like to be down in the 230's even if it's 239. Having to post again Labor Day will help!
  • My Labor Day Goal is 180. I haven't been that low since my husband and I got married 8 years ago. That would be great!! If I can stay on track, I may reach my goal by Christmas.
  • I think that I would like to be at 205, that is about 15 pounds. I am going to get a new resolve, and hopefully, with student teaching starting in two weeks, I'll actually be able to avoid the eating all of the time.
  • Well I when i posted my goal I hadn't weighed in about two months. And I am already at 316 ...So new goal is to be 300!...
  • Now that's what I call making goal, Scooter! Keep it up - you'll be in Twoterville in no time.
  • Might as well jump back in with both feet. I'm an old-timer (two years ago) who stopped hanging out here when I got pregnant. Now that I'm over the 300 mark and pretty annoyed with myself, I'm back.

    So Labor day is 6 weeks away. My goal is not numeric (since I'm not quite sure how heavy I really am -- my scale gets weird above 305 or so). Instead, my goals are to:
    • increase my intake of milk and water
    • decrease my intake of soda and sweet tea
    • decrease my fat/snack intake
    • increase my veggie/fruit intake
    • increase my daily activity level by walking more and taking the stairs at least once a day
    • increase my weekly activity level by doing a special activity at least three times a week: aerobics, a long walk in the neighborhood, gardening, swimming
  • I'm always up for a challenge...

    At this point, it's a little more than 6 weeks away. I'll try for 17lbs, 235 - 5lbs from 10%.
  • I'll take the challange. I would like to be 370 by then but I'll shoot for 375. That's 16lbs.
  • Count me in too!! I'd like to be down to 279... that's right around 18 lbs & something I think I can do.
  • You had an amazing drop last week Howie. I think you will make you goal with no problem.
  • Count me in!
    Count me in!

    I'm signing up for being in a size 14 missy (not woman's size) by Labor Day.

    That should be somewhere around a 25 pound drop, but I think I can do it.

  • Yes probably so Matt. But I aim low and hope high. That way I'm not disapointed. I like to keep my average loss at 3 lbs a week. Right now it is 5 lbs a week. If I can keep it at 3 I will be at goal in August of 2004. If I keep it at 2 it will be January 2005. Either way I'll be happy. All though I would like to see the Aug date of course.
  • I made my first "mini" goal... 10# gone.
    Am aiming for another 10# gone by Aug 20.
    It'll be a miracle to make my 3rd to@ by Labor Day.... but if I average 3#/week instead of 2... I could make it.
