Morning MFPers :) So today represents exactly 5 months and 1 week left in our challenge! Hopefully most of you are already down some, and that much closer to our NYE goal. I myself fell off a bit, and maintained to gained last week (for some reason my scale didn't sync, and I don't recall 100% my weight- blah!).

In any event, 5.25 wks is still a very reasonable amount of time to drop 50 lbs! Will be a little more intense, and need a slightly higher calorie deficit, but, all in all quite a realistic goal!

Personally I would be down around 200 lbs and I am so anxious to get outta the 200's for GOOD! More motivation, right?!

Ok-- Just wanted to check in, try to keep everyone on track, and cheer you on a bit!!! We've got this!!!!! WOOT! :)

    5 months is plenty of time to lose. Im surprised how dedicated Ive been int he last week or so. I lost 4 lbs last week and can hardly wait until weigh in day to see what I will be. I have to say, getting up every morning and doing my 30 day shred has been really good as well as doing additional cardio after work. Stay focused everyone....We can do this!

    5 months to go how exciting were all staying in this together and just doing our best to get that 50 lbs. off by NYE,
    well last week I lost 10 lbs. and Saturday I will be weighing again...this is so much fun doing this together.

    We can do this...I need this and I am doing my best to get their...it would be nice to look great for Christmas for,
    a change and stead of a blimp ugh...but I need these challenges to help me to get their...I still have a lot to go,
    and so after this challenge I will need to look for another or I may fail...these challenges inspire me so I will need,
    some encouragement from my MFP friends and everyone has been here for me so Thank You.

    I have learnt to do this one step @ a time to one day @ a time ☺

    eeeek! only 5 a little over 5 months! I guess I better get a wiggle on then eh! haha! :)

    I can't wait to get out of the 200! the first weigh in that I get to with a 1 at the start will probably make me cry! hahaha
    10lbs till that happens! :)

    keep pushing to be stronger, fitter, leaner, faster and meaner!

    WE GOT THIS!

    Okay 5.25 months is what.... 21 weeks? Even if you haven't started that's only a little over 2 lbs a week. That is managable and we can definitely do this thing together!! :bigsmile:
