Howdy! Since we are finishing up the 4th of July Challenge, I figure we need a new goal marker! I know I do! I have to go to a huge family gathering on Labor Day, so I am really going to try to push myself! Who's with me?! Let's go people! We CAN do this! There's 8 1/2 weeks until Labor Day on September 1st

    When is Labor Day again? September 1st? 9 weeks? 9 lbs? Let's go.

    Final Goal: 125 - that will be it!!

    Keep it up, everyone!!

    lilprnss - Being the biggest means you'll have the most to be proud of at the end!! I would set a goal of 2lb/week at most, as everyone has plateau weeks now and then. :smile:

    OK, since I didn't make my goal for the 4th of July challenge, what the heck.....

    I have no idea how much I could lose by September.... especially as we're going on vacation next week, but here goes....


    Started April 16th at 205

    Today, July 5th, I weigh 185.

    So, how about 175 for Labor Day?

    Good luck everyone!

    I'm ready to stick to this challenge and get over my slip up of a 2.4 gain during the holiday week...grrrr!

    Current weight: 184.1
    Labor day goal: 168.1
    Pounds lost per week: 2

    Additionally, I need to make time to rollerblade, kickbox/dance, and swim. I miss making time for these hobbies! I started with a baby step this morning - 40 mins. of cardio dance. Does anyone else love to dance for cardio?

    Much success to all,
    Jill

    Down 3 pounds, 17 to go! I might have to raise my goal a little bit if I keep losing so much so fast! I am just starting off and need to lose a lot so I think the first month will be fast and then it'll slooooow down.

    Yes! Count me in!!!! I started MFP back in November 2007 at 183 pounds, lost 20 pounds, but then with Spring Break last March and a few other things going on, I totally fell off the wagon and gained back about 10 pounds. So I'm starting completely over. This challenge is prefect because we are going to Lake of the Ozarks for Labor Day weekend! So, here's the stats!!!

    Starting weight: 174
    Current weight: 174
    Labor Day Goal: 167
    Total pounds to lose: 7
    Pounds lost: 0 (but I'm starting today:wink: )

    I wish you all the best of luck! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

    I'm in Too!!! I need this since I am at a stand still with my weight right now. I start a new job at the end of August and would like to get closer to my goal weight by then!!


    Starting weight: 163
    Current weight: 145
    Labor Day goal: 135
    Total pounds to lose: 10 ( Yikes!!) :noway:
    Pounds lost:0 ..also starting today

    Maybe this will help me get over the plateau I hit the last few weeks so I can start actually LOSING weight now!
