Can I join? I have been doing this site on and off for about 1.5 yrs and haven't really lost much! I really need the motivation from others and the accountability. I would like to set a goal of 1 lbs a week and hopefully that'll take me under the big 2-0-0!

Hello Everyone!! My name is Tammy and I hope I'm not too late for this challenge, I just stumbled on it and I think it sounds great!
My starting weight is 235 and I'd like to be in onederland by the Fourth of July! I know thats a big goal, 2.5 lbs a week. So in order for it to be challenging but not daunting I'm gonna set my goal for 1 1/2 lbs a week. For a goal of 21 lbs off (214). I will do the mini challenges as well, as best as I can. Crunches are no problem and neither are the jumping jacks but I was just looking into doing the 100 pushup challenge and found that it really hurts my right wrist to even do the girl ones (That is also why I dont do the Downward Dog in yoga). But I did read about wall push ups and I think I can start with those to see if I can strengthen my wrist. I'm not gonna risk doing any damage tho so we will see how it goes. Thanks for comming up with this!

Another thing you might want to try is push up bars, or using dumbells as push up bar. I have a lot of problems with my left wrist. When using the push up bar you don't have your hand flat on the ground so this means you can have your wrist striaght.

sorry if i missed the post but is there an ongoing challenge going apart from the weigh ins?

Because I can't breathe, making the gym a lofty idea...I killed it on my bathroom break squats and wall push ups yesterday..150 squats and 120 pushups...I am really feeling it in my glutes this week which is awesome!

@ nolachick...

sorry if i missed the post but is there an ongoing challenge going apart from the weigh ins?

Hi Nola! Yeah, we're all doing as many jumping jacks, sit-ups, and push-ups as possible until Sunday, 3/27. Do what you can, there was no set # to strive for.

Also, today I weighed in and it was the same as last week, 276.2 :grumble: Oh well, it's better than gaining I guess. Going to work extra hard this upcoming week to get that # down! As far as the challenge goes, I keep forgetting about it! :laugh: I created it and I can't seem to remember to do it. Every night I feel like I'm forgetting something and it doesn't hit me until the next morning when I'm at work. Well, today, I'm going to get in some small bursts of jumping jacks and wall push-ups at work (10-20 at a time) and have at least 100 of each done by the end of the day. Tonight I'll work on the sit-ups at home. I ABSOLUTELY WILL complete 300 of each by the end of day Sunday!

Happy Friday, everyone!

196.5 last Saturday. Thanks!

haslschwartz

I'd like to join (thanks for the motivation to you and meanjeann). My starting weight is 193 and goal is 1 lb per week. So that would be a loss of 15! Thanks!

daisy89

Okay, so I just stumbled upon this challenge and I think it's great!
I know I'm late, but is there any way I can still join?

I weigh 139 right now, last week I was 140.2

By July 4th, I'd love to be 129. It's a 10 lb loss for 15 weeks.

It's perfect because my boyfriend and I will be going to Napa Valley
for our anniversary right around that time. I'd love to be slimmer by then!

nolachick

Usually saturdays are my weigh in days but i may be busy tomorrow, so i'll give u today's weight of 166.4
