CC MEMORIAL DAY CHALLENGE
I have read this is observed on the 30th of may but is really the 31st of May~so we will run it til May 31st~that sound ok?)


Can u believe It's time for a new Calorie Counters' Holiday Challenge?

Everybody did great on the ARBOR DAY Challenge.
Some of us met our goals, some of us only got partway there,some went the wrong direction, but we all put in a great effort, learned some lessons, made new friends, and supported each other... and that's what these challenges are for. Now, we're ready to set our sights on a new challenge, new goals, and the next 31 days of this journey!

Here's how it works... Set a goal or goals that you would like to reach before Memorial Day , Observed on May 30th but actually on the 31st~ 2010 So we will end this challenge on the 31st. . Your goals can be anything: pounds you want to lose, a smaller clothing size or outfit you'd like to fit into, sports or fitness achievements, or just a goal of keeping food and exercise on track. Whatever gets you excited about working your plan over the next few weeks, is the right goal for this challenge. You can set as many or as few goals as you like.

All are welcome! If you're not sure what your goal will be yet, but would like to join up and find some weight loss buddies, get and give support, please jump in, and you can post a goal later, when you think of something. Our main purpose is to motivate each other to keep the food on plan, keep exercising, keep getting leaner, more fit, and healthy.



I may not be able to check in daily,Since I am a mom of 3~ But I will do my best too. HAVE A GREAT CHALLENGE EVERYONE

I'm going to challenge myself to get on the treadmill 3x a week and to do strength training with my resistance bands 3x a week.

I also challenge myself not to get so down about not seeing a loss on the scale. It WILL happen, eventually

Whatever I lose this month will be awesome!

I want to be 160 by the end of May but because of my loss is slowing down, I will divide my goal in two. I also want to add a resistance routine to my daily life. My non weight goal is to finish the first and second parts of my thesis.
I want to be able to use all my size 12 clothes and some 10 by the end of this challenge!

hello all! I was really far from my challenge goals too, I was one of those people that for most of the challenge lost my motivation and went the wrong way. But thank God, I found my motivation again and was able to redeem myself the last few weeks! I ended up gaining ten pounds and then losing those ten pounds plus like 3 more so I at least I made some progress! I didn't weigh myself today and I still need to think about what my challenge goal will be, so I will put that info up tomorrow when I weigh in. congrats to everyone who made their goals!!!!!!!!

[Asynchronous]

Today is my first full week of 100% everything that went into my mouth calorie counting. Usually I end up missing a day here or there, or a meal.

My goal is to continue this trend for May. Everything, everyday, gets recorded.

Oh yeah, and lose 10 lb =) I'll post a SW tomorrow morning.

[cherbear]

I haven't done one of these before, but I'd love to join!! This morning I weighed in at 179.8, and I'd love to lose 5 pounds this month, so my goal is to be below 175!

I don't know if this is too much or too little, my body has been changing the way it loses weight as I'm getting closer to goal, so it's getting harder to predict!! I figure this is more than do-able! Thanks and I'm so glad to be here!

[Eumie]

I'm up for a challenge. I have 3 goals:

1. To lose 8 lbs., which would put me at 212.
2. To have at least 3 big servings of vegetables each day.
3. To stay on plan through the baby shower, husband's graduation, and sister-in-law's wedding that we have scheduled for the month. No cake or cheats at all. Eat as if I were home (except for the sodium, of course) at every meal.

Hi everyone... I haven't posted in the CC yet and I haven't ever done a challenge but I would love to and hopefully get to know some more awesome people! My goals will be to lose 5 lbs, and to work out atleast 5 times a week. Tomorrow is my official weigh in day so I can update exactly what the goal weight will be. LETS ROCK!!!!

[Lori259]

WELCOME TO EVERYONE~THOSE NEW & THOSE Back for another challenge~WE ALL GOT GREAT GOALS~WE CAN DO IT ~OR AT LEAST GIVE IT OUR ALL! GOODLUCK EVERYONE ~HUGS! off to walk!!

[NorthernExposure]

Hey all...

Thanks for all your support in the Arbor Day Challenge. I would like to join this challenge too, but will be offline for another week or so (going to Texas due to my aunt's passing.) Hope to catch up with everyone when I get back.

I am going to set a modest goal since I will probably end up gaining this week due to being on the road:

CW: 229.9
Challenge goal: 224 (-50 lbs)

So hopefully at least 6 lbs, but I'd certainly love to get farther

See you guys later and have a great weekend.

[jigglefree]

Hey Momma I'm in,
I will set more than one goal this time..
1. Fit comfortably in my size 16 Traveling Shrinking Pants!!
2. Do whatever I gotta do to get in those pants!!!

I think I made my Arbor Day Challenge depending on the brand of clothes you check. I got some new slacks in a size 16 that fit with the muffing top and a pair of size 18 pants that fit comfortably. I fit better in my Traveling Shrinking Pants than I did when the first arrived!!

Hey everyone. Welcome to the new arrivals!!

Cherbear - If you come in often you will find this is a great place to get that extra push to make goal!!



Working out and eating on plan!!! Lets do this WOOOOOOO!!!

[mkyice]

I'm in. I want to be at 210 by the end of this month. Given the rate at which I am currently loosing, that's a bit ambitious, but I'm going to shoot for it anyway! I also want to stick with the C25K program I started in April.
Good luck to everyone. It's going to be a great month.

[fruitlady]

Lori- Thank you for starting the new challenge! My goal is the same as always, to get to 105 and stay there for a while. I can't seem to get there or stay there, I'm always craving something! Good Luck everyone!
