-
Gee whiz, Carla. I'm so sorry to hear about the lightning and all. Gracious! I'm glad (I assume) everyone's alright, though. Geez!
It still shows mega-dedication that you went to a friend's to post. I think that's super awesome.
Now, for everyone else...I hope you're kickin' some fat cells this week and buildin' some super-strong muscle.

Hello all, I'm Stephanie. For those of you who know me, you know I love having weight loss challenge groups! It pushs me to lose weight and I want to help you in your weight loss goals. Every month I hold a seperate weight loss group for that month. My December group lost over 119 pounds in total as a group. And I know we can repeat that success. 50 lbs it's about 2 pounds a week from now until July 1st. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I wanted to start a group where we can really push ourselves to get ready for the summer that will carry on over the next few months. Summer will be here before we know it and many stores already have bathing suits out on display. UGH if that doesn't push me to get this weight off, I don't know what will. lol...For this group we will weigh in every Saturday. I will post a chart every Sunday of our success. If you miss 2 consecutive weeks for weigh in, we will remove your name from the chart. This will be an intense group with no excuses. We will help each other with each other's weight loss goals. On Saturday January 1st, 2011 please fill in the following form:

Is it too late to join the group?
My screen name is Mamajess
my starting weight on 1-1-11 was 238.8
My goal is to weigh 180 by july 1st
My reason for wanting to lose weight is so I can be healthier and have more energy to play with my children and live life more fully. I am also tire of looking like the marshmellow man off of the ghost busters. .No, seriously that is what I look like. I want to be the pretty wife that I used to be.
I have about 20 different work out dvds that I swith between so my body doesn't get used to any one thing and I am trying to basically cut calories, carbs and fat from my diet. Not all of them but lower the amount that I normally have . Instead of 3,500 calories I am trying to stay between 1,500 and 1,800. :happy:0 -
My current weight is 235.8
Do you want measurements also or just weight?0 -
Hello all,
I know I am a few weeks late but, I just found this thread, so I hope it is ok for me to join.
I have a goal to loose 60 by July. My ultimate goal is to loose about 125lbs, But this is a good starting place.
My goal is 8-10 lbs a month, I know this will require some serious work but, I am so tired of feeling the way that I do that I am ready to put in the work to get this done once and for all. I am currently doing Turbo Fire, by Chalene Johnson. I plan to do one Turbo Fire workout in the morning and some other type of workout in the evening, right now it will just be the DVD workouts that I have until I purchase a treadmill. (which will be soon) I am also monitoring my calories burned with a heart rate monitor.
As far as my diet I am reading Tosca Reno's book The Eat Clean Diet, Recharged, and am learning a whole lot about the importance of nutrition in weight loss. I am incorporating the principles in that book slowly. I am starting with the six small meals a day and using MFP to track my calories.
I started last week at 265, and when I weighed today I was at 262.4, so I am happy to see progress. This week will be my first week with two workouts so I hope that my progress when I check in on Saturday will be even better. O and are u guys doing measureents?
Well I hope to check in with you all soon,
Shonda

Screen Name: hannahh13
Starting Weight: 222 lbs.
Goal by July 1st, 2011: about 30 pounds
Why do you want to lose 50+ pounds?: I really need to lose weight, but since I'm in college, its difficult for me to work out consistently since I have to study so much for tests
so I think 30 pounds is more realistic for me by July 1st. My main reason for losing weight is to be healthier. I like to run and workout, but I don't like that I huff and puff so much right now. I want to be able to run for fun, not for working out.
What are your eating and exercise plans to lose 50+ pounds?: Right now, I eat pretty well, I either lose weight or keep at a consistent level. But it is difficult for me to stay on track when finals are coming up and I'm up all night studying for them. For exercise, I just got Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and have done level 1 a few times. I'm amazed at how good of a workout it is for only being 25 minutes! I really like that it's short, it makes it easier for me to do it since I don't have to spend an hour working out everyday.0 -
Okay - just found this blog - and I think it is a good challenge for me!
Screen Name: Hankyholic
Starting Weight (On January 1st 2011): 254.2
Goal by July 1st, 2011 (can be more than 50 lbs, whatever you wish for): 200
Why do you want to lose 50+ pounds?: I want to lose the weight for many purposes - generally better health, looking better in clothes, having more energy, all the right reasons! The reason I want to lose 50# by July 1 - I will turn 58 July 14. I want to be able to swim this summer without looking like a whale at the beach! I just like looking better. I do better with goals and I love a challenge!
What are your eating and exercise plans to lose 50+ pounds?: I am tracking food on MyFitnessPal - how easy is that? I have been watching my calorie, fat and fiber intake. I exercise 4 days a week - 2 days of Zumba, and 2 days of the gym. I plan to up that to 6 days a week - include the home program I am just starting.
Wish me luck! I will check in on saturday.0 -
Hi Everyone! I'm Char and i just found this group. I joined this site, weighed in and started losing on Jan 3rd. I think I've been off to a great start but could use some help keeping motivated. I would love to be a part of your challenge. I would like to shoot for 60 pounds by July.

I'm so happy that peeps are still joining up. It's encouraging to see so many people take charge of their lives. We are so gonna rock this year! ;-) Whooo hoooo!
*smiles*

Hello??? Can I join? I've been strugglng with weight...up and down all throughout college. This is my last semester and I want to make a change with myself. None of my friends are really serious about losing weight (they're all skinny anyways!) so this would definitely help!0
-
hey ladies (and maybe gentlemen? i haven't seen any i don't think...)!
sorry i'm freaking FOUR days late posting...been out of town and the MFP app on my iphone doesn't let you post on boards, but you better believe it lets you log food and exercise!
i burned about 2200 calories last week...i have a hard time eating enough calories on days that i go to the gym (yeah, I know, this is so ridiculous) so i had to take a couple of days off. i'm working hard this week on getting my protein up and instead of 5000 calories at the gym i'm going to shoot for 5 hours of gym and see if i can manage that with my eating. OH, and I am going to try ZUMBA! haha, it will be interesting, I'm sure!
Soooo my stats,

Hello all,
I wish I had more time to support you all but I am so busy at work these days! I am doing OK this week. I hope to have lost something but I don't think it will be another huge weight loss this week. I had a few not so good days and one missed workout too.
I am drinking a lot of water and I am going to attempt to squeeze in some extra workouts today and tomorrow for my last chance workouts and to keep my 360 min in exercise quota for the week.
Stay strong everyone and remember Stephanie's signature, nothing feel as good as skinny feels! I am keeping 344 in my mind for the next 11 days of this month. I want to get to 344 by January 31st.
Keep up the good work peeps!:flowerforyou:0
