I HIT MY GOAL! I am now 228!! YAY!!! So my *NEW* goal for Labor Day is 220! That leaves me with 8 pounds to lose and 4 weeks to do it.
Way to GO girl! You are doing SO AWESOME!0 -
Ha! I am under 130 for the first time today! 129.6.
I know that inches, not pounds are the way to do things, but it was still nice seeing that number on the scale!! :happy:
I really just want to keep this up for when I go home next week!!0 -
I know I'm starting this late but I need something to motivate me. Labor day is what 4 or 5 weeks away? I'll try it.
Start weight 205 a year ago
Current weight 161:sad:
Goal weight 150
Weight to lose by Labor day, let's be realistic at 1 lb a week,so 5 lbs, I would be happy if I could get there. Tomorrow I will weigh in and take measurements again. Wish me luck0 -

Ok so Update.
Currently I am at 179.2 so I lost 4.4 lbs this week, yeah, but I have been working extra hard as we have our engagement party sunday and I have not seen a lot of these people in months. I should slow back down to the healthy rate the rest of the challange or not well see.
update, 2 weeks down. My cuurent weight is 178.9, so 4.7 down. I had a fun weekend but had to re lose 2 o the 4.4 from the week before. It was our engagement party though and my friend and I were up the night before making/eating cookies.
6.5 weeks left
13.9 lbs to lose
lbs per week left: 2.13 per week
STILL ON TRACK
Update, 3 weeks in. My current weight is 175.3, so I am down 8.3 lbs total.
So 5.5 weeks left
So 10.3 LBs left to lose
Lbs per week 1.87
STILL ON TRACK.
That was my weight this morning too, :sad: , yeaterday it was 174.9. oh well. Behind a week. I was so sick though i did not really make it into the gym.
Another week behind. I was down to 173.7 but am back up to 174.3 so I am maintaining. I have been eating ok, most days are under the calories though, who knows. I have went to the gym 3 times but was just doing the treadmill maybe I need to up it. I don't know.Anyways another week down, atleast I am not gaining.
So 3.5 weeks left. Going with the 173.7 I have 8.7 lbs left to lose. Which is 2.48 lbs per week. I will be close to my goal but I am not sure if I will make it. I want to do this right, I may try to make it into the gym for the classes instead of the treadmill, that may make a diff.0 -

Hey all-
I know I'm like really, really late, but I did have a goal to get down by Labor Day. I was on another site that I didn't like as much, so I heard about this one and love it so far (the 20 min. i've been a member ) Then I saw your posts and thought I'd jump in, if it's ok.
Current: 151
LD Goal: 148
LBS per week: 2
Goal: 125
Good Luck Everyone!:happy:0 -
Checking in I have lost 8lbs so far, but I don't think that I am going to meet my goal of 129, however, I am thrilled with my progress.

Thank you!!!! You too! You're at your next 10 lb goal - I know everytime I get to the next 10 lbs I am sooo happy!0 -
Final check-in = 126 lbs. I am pretty far from my goal, but I still lost enough to make me happy, so it's going to be a good birthday after all, I think! :happy:0

I've been averaging 1 1/2 lbs per week, so I may miss it by 1 pound, but I'm OK with that!!!:happy:
Of course, I may meet the goal and then I'll be really happy! :bigsmile:
OK - yesterday was Labor Day. I made it to 186.5, so I missed my goal by 1.5 pounds. I'm OK with that because I'm still averaging 1.5 pounds a week, which is pretty good. Especially since just 2 months ago I would never have dreamed I'd be 186.5 by September 1st!0
