Postcard Challenge Round 17

sixxbaby

The Postcard Challenge is very simple... Post your weight as of today - February 25 - and I will make a note of it in my handy dandy notebook. Then, in 2 weeks (March 11), post your finishing weight and if you are the biggest loser (you lose the most weight), I will send you a postcard from sunny (but right now very cold) Lancaster, CA (about 50 miles North of Los Angeles)
AND... This is the biggie... You get to host the next round!!!!!

I would also love you all to make some pledges, nothing big, something you can reasonably stick to for 2 weeks.

These are mine:
keep going to the gym everyday (minus Tuesday)
eat fish three times a week
eat at least 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day
Try my hardest to follow my C25K program
Be positive and supportive to all my peeps here on MFP

I don't know that I'll achieve all of them but I'm going to give it a try!!!

So, if you want that postcard (and I know you do!), post your weight today, pledges too (I won't hold you to them, but make them something you could stick to).

Oh, and please feel free to add me (then you'll know when to post your final weights, 'cuz I'll put it on my status!).

Whoohoo!!!!! I'm in again!!!! (Your postcard will be on it's way this weekend!). Congrats, again, for winning:bigsmile:

I'm sticking to the same goals I've had for the last couple of Postcard Challenges:

every weekday - walk at home dvd, at least 3 miles,
sat/sun - walk at home, full 5 miles,
mon,wed, fri - Davina, power of 3 dvd (20 - 40mins),
tue, thu, sat/sun - at least 30mins of Just Dance,
drink, at least, 8 glasses of water each day,
relax for 15-30 mins each day (I'll be reading a book),
C25K running programme.

I've added the C25K running programme. I started on Monday and today will be week1, day 3. It's going to rain most of the day, so I'm heading out this morning, if I can drag myself away from MFP.
Let you know how I get on!!!

Weighing in this morning at 188lbs. I'm hoping that I can be down a dress size by the end of the challenge... That would be a fabulous Non-Scale Victory!!
