    FYI... per Fit day. If you start today it is 30 weeks.
    We have to lose 1.63 lbs a week or 0.23 lbs a day. Sounds easy enough broke down that way.:bigsmile:

    I am in - this is a great challenge - May 29th is my birthday and to be 50lbs lighter would be amazing!

    I try to do my Tae Bo videos 2-4 times a week and go to the gym twice a week to use the weights. I would appreciate any support I can get.

    Ok, i am gonna take a leap of faith and say I am in too! My original goal weight was 174 which is *just* into the 'healthy' BMI range. It seemed quite an achievement to get that far so i didnt want to set myself up for too high of a goal, just to fall short... at least initially. But now that i am less than 20 pounds till i hit my initial goal, i KNOW that i am going to want to lose more and will be ABLE to lose more! (and get more fit!). So by joining in the 50 pound challenge, it will move my goal to 141, which is still within the "healthy" range, but much lower in that range which for me is like 128 - 174. Still gonna have a MAJOR celebration when i see that 174!!! :) Ok, I am very very IN! (feel free to friend me, btw!)

    Hey everybody. Monday is November 1st and that gives us exactly 7 months to lose 50 lbs. I know we can do this. Mondays will be our weigh in days. Its best to weigh in as soon as you wake up. So, lets keep each other motivated and try and have some fun with all of this. Keeping things interesting will keep you motivated.

    Doing better today on my food choices. But no structured exercise yet, just ton of running errands.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend

    Just remember...:bigsmile: Failure is not falling down its not getting back up.

    I would love to lose 50lb by June 1st. I am having a thyroid op and want to lose weight for the operation but find it really hard to shift the weight due to the medication. This challenge will hopefully motivate me when the going gets tough. As part of my exercise regime I am going to start a virtual walk from York to Munich, which is where I hope to be holidaying in June '11. Over 30 weeks this equates to approx 23 miles per week and a weight loss of 1.6lb, When broken down like this doesn't seem to bad. Just need to get my backside into gear now!
