I needed a little push to go to the gym tonight - I saw this thread and realized I WILL go!! Thanks :)

My first weigh-in of the challenge for me. 2 pounds down! 20 to go! :)
I have been steadily losing 2 pounds a week, which is wonderful. But I do know I could do better on the exercise front and maybe pull a 3 here and there. So my goal for this week is to not find reasons not to exercise and just do it. Adding my extra Zumba class tonight. Looking forward to that.

SW: 236
CW: 234
GW: 214

Hope everyone is doing great so far!! Mefirst, hope you're still around and keeping at it. I noticed this post was older than I thought and I didn't see your Friday check in. Hope all is well!!

Congrats daug!!

Mefirst - I was thinking the same thing! How's it going?

WI not until Friday, but I did make it to the gym last night :) Yoga today, and hopefully I will be in the 230's on Friday!

My goal:
Be under 200lbs by then!
I can do this!

One week down and my first weigh in and measurements.
Started at 319.5
CW: 309
Down 10 lbs and 7.5 inches
Exercise is still slow for me.

I love this!! Great post!

I would love to be in the 150s by then. So that will be my goal :D

Current Weight: 171.0
Memorial Day Goal Weight: 159 ..but I'd take anything lower ;)

Congrats DaugT on your weight loss. My first weigh in is on Friday, hoping for a loss.

Hi. I would like to join you ladies. My weigh ins will be on Wednesdays. 8 weeks left for me! I will make my goal 16 pounds, which would put me at 196.

W1 3/21 - 217.2
W2 3/28 - 212
GW 5/23 - 196

Thanks superchick!
What a great week, Sally! A big chunk of your goal conquered already!!

Glad to see more and more joining in. It's definitely a great timeframe to be motivated! :trampo:

Today is another gym day for me. I was going through all my excuses (I don't want to go late, I have to get up early in the morning, I don't want to drive...) and then I saw this thread AGAIN. So thanks again! I will be going to the gym tonight :)

Welcome everyone new!

Sally - nice work!

Wow Sally you are doing awesome. Keep up the good work.

I'm in (if a little late). I'd like to lose 20 pounds eventually, but for this time period I'd be happy with 5-10 pounds. I've been working very diligently but only lost 5 pounds in the last 10 weeks, so...

Current Weight: 141-145, depending on the time of day...
Goal Weight for Memorial Day: 135

My backstory: I was a competitive gymnast and swimmer as a kid, the kind of kid who eats whatever she wants and stays relatively slim (though never twiggy). That held through most of my 20s. Until...I broke my foot in the summer of 2010 and my weight went up to 135. I got pregnant that fall and stopped exercising entirely (bad idea, I know). I had my first baby in July 2011 and didn't exercise at all because I was getting no sleep and still working. Then I tore my meniscus and had knee surgery in December 2011. At one of my doctor's appointments I realized I was over 150 pounds. That's when I realized the weight wasn't going to come off on its own anymore. I had to get serious. Since then I've been working out 2-4 times a week doing cardio (first swimming because that's all they would let me do with my post-surgical healing, then biking, last week added jogging as well).
Fitness goals: Run three miles. Get back into the weight room instead of just doing cardio.
Food goals: Drink more water. Eat more fruit and less dessert.

I am a bit late! But thats ok :) Memorial day is May 28th, just about 2 months away. Thats plenty of time for a good challenge goal!

I am currently doing the Easter Challenge, and that is almost over. My goal there is to lose one pant size (Im not quite there, but im close!)

I want to change up my challenge goals though, so...

25 pounds! Thats my goal! It will be a decent challenge, but im sure i can do it. Also, i would like to walk 45-60 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

I can do this!:carrot::jig:

Welcome firefly and moon!!!
You're doing awesome at keeping up with the gym, dcapulet!

Okay, I am new here but I saw this and I like it - it inspired me to take a walk - it was only for 14 minutes but I did it and I feel pretty good about it! I will weigh tomorrow a.m. and return to set my goal with the rest of you!
