10 Week Memorial Day Challenge!
 
:welcome3:


There are 10 WEEKS until Memorial Weekend begins!

You know what this means...shorts, itty bitty shirts, bathing suits, etc.:stress: I'm all about short term goals...they don't seem quite so unobtainable. My goal for the next 10 weeks is a minimum 4 days of exercise :strong: & 3 lbs weight loss each week. :goodscale Every week I accomplish this I will reward myself with a nonfood treat because of course a healthy diet will only help with my success. :broc:

Accountability is a huge motivator for me :write: so I plan on checking in here with the following every Friday:
Current Weight - CW
Pounds Lost - PL
Exercise Days - ED
Reward - R



So my first entry is:
CW - 204
PL - next Thursday
ED - "
R - I will get a manicure.

If anyone would like to come along, I'd love for you to join me! :hug:
Christine

I was trying to find this thread. I like this idea a lot

Would love to come along! I am not sure I can do 3 lbs a week because as it is I have been going up and down with .5lbs for 3 months. I am exercising and have lost inches, but the weight is just not coming off.

So my goal will be:
Exercise 5x a week (and post what it was)
Drink at least 32 oz of water
Stay within my points for Weight watchers

Weigh in day is Friday - so today: 174.8

Please send support because I am about to fall off the wagon and am hoping this challenge will be a big help!

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Have not been on point, but managed to lose .5lb last week.

Have job interview tuesday and am a wreck. Will be out of town so won't be able to exercise and need to try and do well with my food. Have been the past two days, but who knows when I away.

So far have been doing well with food (Friday is my weigh in with weight watchers so this is the 3rd day of my "week")

Seems like every time I try to get on track something gets in the way!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

i'd like to be part of this....my weight has been hovering around 197-199 for a few months...i exercise pretty intensely about 4-6 days a week depending on my schedule with work and family...im experimenting with the concepts behind South Beach Diet with a focus on good carbs, whole grain etc and slowly switching over to those basic ideas...i also calorie count but found lately that my calories include junk food even if i dont go over my daily limit...i try to stick to 1300-1500 calories per day...some days i eat back my exercise calories, some days i dont...but i need something to keep myself motivated heading into summer

Count me in!!! I'd like to be back down to 145 lbs by Memorial Day. That's alittle over ONE pound a week. I'm setting a slower goal so it doesn't seem too overwhelming right now :)
CW: 156
GW for this challenge: 145

LovelyAndLosing 03-25-2012 07:00 PM

I am in! CW is 134.8. I would like to be 125, exercising 5x a week, and able to run 4 miles!

kirsteng 03-26-2012 07:37 AM

I'm joining too - I have a big beach vacation planned for July 1, so I want to step up my game! ;)

cw: 252
gw: 233
exercise: daily
calorie goal: 1800

I have been plateaued for awhile now, so I'm hoping that daily exercise might put me over the edge. I'm also committing to logging my calories daily instead of twice a week or so which is what I'm currently doing.

GL everyone!

PS When is memorial day - is that July 4??? ;)

superchick36 03-26-2012 08:46 AM

I'm in too! I have been sitting at 230 for a long time now and would love to see that number to go down. I am going to California the second week in May and really would like to be around 220.

Good luck everyone :)

I definitely want in on this one! :trampo:
I weigh-in on Tuesdays, so with tomorrow's weigh-in and a last check in the day after memorial day that will be 10 weigh-ins.
I am aiming for 22 pounds, so basically 2 pounds a week with a couple extra!
Thanks for posting!

CW: 236
GW: 214

:exercise: 3 60-minute workouts a week. I currently do two, adding an extra Zumba night starting this week!
And 5 20 minute workouts a week. I have really slacked on these, but need to rev it up!

Looking forward to posting with everyone over the next 10 weeks! :cheer3:
