I decided to start this as sort of a continuation to the "30 pounds by MAY Challenge". Some of us wanted to keep things movin! and stay on track. Welcome back to some!! ...and to all you new challengers out there!! Can't wait to get started again and gain some new support too in the meantime!

I am new to this site. How does this work? 30 # by September is my goal too (my sister is getting married). Thanks.

Hello Mamabear!! Nice to see ya again!

Welcome Stillhopeful!! Glad to have ya!
Basically, this thread is a place for you to check in, gain support, and stay motivated!! On our last thread, we would all post our progress on sunday of every week.
You can post everyday or every week if you want....or WHENEVER you want! You can set "mini goals" for yourself for each month, you can post how you are feeling..if u are staying on track or not (don't worry, there will always be someone to give ya a nice swift kick to get ya going again!), you can post your accomplishments....anything! Or just stay in with the convo that usually goes on w/in these challenges!
There's no right or wrong way to do a challenge. Just jump right in!!
I lost 11lbs from our last challenge "30lbs by May"...didn't quite make it to the challenge goal, but that's alright...I'm gonna keep on trucking!!

Does anyone have anything else to add to help Hopeful??

My goals for this challenge:

• Get back on track again!!! Stop being lazy!
• Drink more water, try to get up to 2 34oz bottles a day
• walk at least 4x a week
• Get back to the gym in the mornings
• Remember to take my vitamins

I'd like to join. My starting weight is 238 (cringe.........) I desperately need to lose....... I am good about exercising regularly but still eat too many things I shouldn't.

Welcome dustcatcher & domino!! Glad to have you with us!!

So does everyone agree that we will start this coming sunday the 11th (use this as our starting weight)? and our first real weigh in will be the 18th???
How does that sound to everyone?

30lbs is what I have left to reach my goal weight, so I'll join the fun. It'll give me some badly needed motivation.

I want to join in. I would love to lose the weight by September 30. I am going to WI later this morning and I will use that as my starting point. I will post it later. Good Luck ladies lets get rid of our extra baggage.

Hey there, I'd love to join you on this challenge - My first one...yay!
Im good with watching my food but terrible when it comes to excersizing and drinking.
Saturday is my WI day so i will just use saturdays losses

OK, my starting weight is....189. I started things off a day early with a 45 minute walk.

My starting weight is 177.
Today I exercise biked 6.37 miles and did 5 minutes with 2lb handweights.
My goal is 127, which is 50 lbs away. But until then, we'll work on this challenge.

LET'S GO! I know we can do this!!!

I weighed in yesterday and I was 167 so that will be my starting number. Good Luck everyone!!!
