6 Week Fall Challenge Folks

Options
Hi there! I had posted a thread about a 6 week challenge last week and wasn't sure how to gather everyone together. Hopefully this reaches everyone and we can band together to reach our goals.

Mine are

1. Lose 12 lbs by Halloween.
2. Change my workout routine a little. I've been in a little funk.

Can we post under the topic, "6 week fall challenge folks"?

I can't wait to hear everyone's goals and updates :)

    I never saw the other post, but could I still join? I keep wanting to join a challenge but always find them too late...haha

    If so, my starting weight is 268.

    And my goals for the 6 weeks are
    - Lose 15 pounds by Halloween
    -Cut down my latte drinking at work from 1/2 a shift to 2 a week (they are lowfat, but still! I've been going crazy with them)
    -Workout 5 days a week, no skipping days

    I would like to join, Starting weight is 332. just started at anytime fitness so I'm optimistic that i can do it.
    I have to get this weight down and really need a good goal and kick in the butt. :happy:

    I hit my all time high weight on 9-23-09 of 362 and I can't go back there.
    I have got to get it together and loose it and keep it off for the rest of my life.

    My hubby loves me just the way I am but living life as a fat girl really sucks, looking for cute clothes sucks, there are no cute clothes for people over 300lbs dresses look like moo moo's. there are plenty of cute clothes in the plus size mail order mags but there modeled by skinny people, when I get them and put them on it all looks like I'm wearing a sack. I would like to be able to go in the a store and buy clothes off the rack for normal sized people, and not have to wear 4x mens fruit of the loom tshirts

I would like to be down 15 by Halloween, which is going to be tuff cuz we have 2 birthday's in October and we are going on vacation Oct 8-18, but hopefully this will be the motivation I need!

    This sounds good 12 lbs by Halloween!

    I'll keep to my 1200 calories with healthy food, cut back on the Chardonnay to 1 glass Friday and one on Saturday, and exercise a minimum of 30 minutes 5 day a week.
