    Hmm... Maybe I'll give this a shot. But I'm a late-comer, so I'll aim for 20, but be happy with a more realistic 10-15. I'm restarting my diet today. I like the idea of an intermediate goal. :)

    SW: 222.3 (Today, Jan 25)

    I've never tried one of these challenges before, so I'm not sure how it works... do you just post back from time to time?

    Hello! My name is Michelle. I am late getting on this challenge bandwagon, but I am hitting the ground running! I have a lofty goal of losing 21 pounds by Easter. This means a loss of .35 pounds per day, 2.62 pounds per week, and 10.5 pounds per month. With proper diet, fitness, and sleep, I think it will be possible. I realize I may have to further curb my social life, but my health is more important than a night out at the bar. Here is my list of instructions to myself so that I stay focused.

    1. Reach out to MFP friends for daily support.
    2. Get to bed no later than 9:00 p.m. each night.
    3. Limit time on phone and laptop before bed.
    4. Eat nothing after 8:00 p.m.
    5. Pre-log food for Saturday and Sunday to avoid weekend food binges.
    6. Choose ONE cheat item for Saturday (no full cheat days).
    7. Stay at or under 1200 calories per day (do not count extra workout calories).
    8. Rely on your measuring tape for a true reflection of your progress.
    9. Do some sort of physical activity every day (even if you can't get to the gym).
    10. Attend group HIIT classes four days each week.

    LET'S DO THIS!!!

    I am late on starting this challenge but I am up for it. I started (again) two weeks ago at 183, and have lost 3 lbs so far, just by changing certain foods. This week I am adding treadmill walking. My goal is 130 lbs by next December, 31, 2016. I am giving myself one year to lose 50, but if I lose it before that.....bonus!

    Yeah me!!!

    Hi everyone!

    Easter is on March 27th this year... that sounds like a great date to aim to lose 20 pounds by! Anyone else going to join me? I love this style of challenge :)

    SW: 215.5
    CW: 194
    GW: 174

    My long term goal is 134 but I am working in 20 pound increments! I've lost the weight so far with a reduced calorie diet and daily walking.

    Hope others decide to join me and I hope to see lots of goals being met!

    Hi there!

    I'm just getting back in the grove and ready to make some positive changes. This sounds fun and I love a good challenge. Great way to stay motivated. So how are we doing this, or what have you all been doing so far?

    I just found this post. Hopefully this is still going, and I think it's a great goal. Easter is my favorite holiday anyway!

    MFP SW: 163.0
    CW: 161.2
    GW: Easter 141.2
    GW: ultimate 125.0

    I'm 5'1" and in my 30s. I think that my current loss was only due to getting sick on Christmas Eve. Luckily, it's keeping me from wanting to eat any of the junk I baked before Christmas.

    Let's do this!!

    One week into the New Year and my weigh in day.

    MFP SW: 163.0
    SW Challenge: 161.2
    CW: 156.2
    GW: Easter 141.2
    GW: ultimate 125.0

    15 lbs to go!

    CW: 153.6
    GW: Easter 141.2
    GW: ultimate 125.0

    12.4 lbs to go!

    Height: 5' 1"

    MFP SW: 163.0
    SW Challenge: 161.2
    CW: 151.8
    GW: Easter 141.2
    GW: ultimate 125.0

    Just over 10 lbs to go. Almost halfway there!

    SW Challenge: 161.2
    CW: 150.2

    Getting closer. Less than 10 lbs to go now. For this challenge anyway.
