12 Wks Till Summer Challenge - 11 Wks To Go!

joilet

Thanks for organizing. I'm 5'5". I feel pretty good when I'm 135, a few years ago I got down to 129 and felt awesome. Right now though, would love to just be in the 130s. Friend me if you have similar goals.

RANDOM QUESTION OF THE DAY (NIGHT): How tall are you?

I am 6'1". I was not feeling well last night (the "man" cold) and did not workout, I felt guilty about it but I needed a good nights rest. I will get back on the elliptical and the treadmill tomorrow, tonight is bowling night.

About the height thing... I'm between 5'3" and 5'4". My starting weight was 166, and I weighed in at 164.5 last Thursday. My goal weight for the challenge in 153, but ultimately around 140. I'm just getting back into healthy eating and exercise, and I'm assuming I'll have some quicker losses the first couple of weeks, and then settle into losing 1/2 to 1 pound a week. That's how it usually works for me.

I'm very excited for this challenge. I love the chart, and am looking forward to the next weigh in. I'd love a friend with similar stats or goals. The more accountability I have, the better!

Keep it up, everyone!

Don't feel guilty. If your body doesn't rest, your workout won't be as effective. Sounds like you're getting back on track, though. You go!

I am 5'8.5".

I am on board for the "not getting on the scale" challenge! I do not like to get on it...afraid that it won't go down. I have been more engaged with trying to get in shape since joining this sight last week though. I haven't gotten on the scale since then. I am a bit excited to see what the Thursday morning weigh-in says. :~)

I'm 5'10 so definately in the taller crowd :happy: My goal is 170. I think that's at the top of the healthy range so when I hit it I'll see if I want to adjust it at all. I haven't been there in a couple of decades though so I think I'll be pretty happy with it as my weight!

I'm 5'4"

Also, I weighed in on 3/17 at 173.8. I think my weight was put down for the person below me on the chart. Thanks!!

Excited for this Thursday weigh in!

I am a shortie at 5’3 with a goal of 130. When I got married almost 9 years ago I was super fit and active and weighed in at 125. I can’t even imagine getting that low now. 130 would be a dream. I have fought tooth and nail for every pound that I have lost. My son was born last April and I weighed in at around 174. I am down to 140 now which was my pre-prego weight. But I am fighting for more!!

RANDOM QUESTION OF THE DAY (NIGHT): How tall are you?

I'm always interested to know how tall someone is because weight is distributed so differently based on your height. Just curious to know how tall everyone is. Maybe you'll find a friend that has a similar height with similar goals.

I see that "jentoomey1" and I have very similar goals.

I'm a whopping 5'2 and my goal weight would be 125 lbs. (Ok, in a dream world 110-115, but I'd be super happy with 125.)

I found the new thread and now bookmarking it.
I am a 5'4" (with shoes on )
Up until November when I quit smoking I always hovered between 115-120.
This is great motivation for me to get into better shape than before. Thanks for starting it!!

shimmerlady

i'm a shortie, rounding myself up to 5 ft 4"

My goal weight would be 140lbs which I have not been since I was a child and I was overweight even then.

Am trying to stay away from the scales as well, weighed myself Monday just for me so going to stay off them tomorrow and weigh in on Thursday.

I'm between 5'7" &5'8" and have a very small bone frame (size 4 rings).
I made a mistake with the weih in. I didn't include the decimal with my starting weight but did with my first weigh in when in ac,tuality both weights were the same (the one with the decimal). With trying to lose after the age of forty, it seems to only come of a few decimals at a time. LOL

I'm not that tall either--just 5'5" with an ideal goal weight of 135, though I would settle for 140! Hoping this challenge will get me there!!

tluttrell

I found you!!!

And, I am 5'8" When I gain weight, I'm thankful that I'm tall. But the downside is that I have to lose a substantial amount to notice.

Thanks for putting this all together.

So I am 5'2" also. I should shoot for 125, but the last time that I weighed that, I looked too sunken in... My goal is 137... Short People unite!!!

I am 5'7 and my ultimate goal weight right now is 150. Haven't been there since high school, so will decide at that point where I am and if I need to lose more.

Just letting you know that I have added all the new people to the chart and I've corrected all the mistakes of anyone who let me know. With 231 members it is easy to make a few mistakes. Right now we have some really high numbers be we shall see how many actually post during our next weigh-in window. I do hope that we get a lot of people sticking with this.

To anyone who is new, please make sure I know your goal weight for this challenge (by 6/9/11). Some of you just told me your goal weight over all and obviously it isn't likely that you would lose 60+ lbs in 11 weeks. I just want to make sure I have correct info for everyone.

I look forward to seeing our progress with the next weigh-in. :bigsmile:


Keep it up everyone! You are doing great!!!

Random Question of the Day: What caused you to gain weight?

Random Question of the Day: What caused you to gain weight?

You can see my full story and pictures on my blog (http://newmeat30.blogspot.com), but bascially, I was living at a happy 134 before and after having my first child. With my 2nd child I went from 134 to 183 (that's when I stopped weighing myself). I lost most of the baby weight and got down to 147 but then thought my skin on my belly was too disgusting to go on. I felt having a litttle extra meat would make the skin look better to I purposely put on an extra 10 lbs. For two years I told myself I would get in shape before turning 30, but did nothing. I was too embarassed to go to my 10 year reunion because I had put on so much weight but I still wasn't motivated to change. Finally on my 29th birthday (Dec) I decided that I had had enough and I was ready to take back control of my life. I've been on MFP since Jan 2011 (I didn't realize there was an online community until then) and I've loved every minute of it. I've dropped 16 lbs and 16.5 inches in that time. :bigsmile:

I gained some of the twenty pounds I'd lost two-ish years ago during three months during my senior year of high school, and then by august of the same year, i'd gained the whole twenty pounds back. Now I'm working to get it off once again. But the only reason I'd lost those twenty in the first place was that I'd stopped drinking pop and started exercising some.

Random Question of the Day: What caused you to gain weight?

Well after becoming a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I gained all of my weight back from just not paying attention and not writing down what I eat. I know now that this is my new lifestyle and what I need to do to be healthy. I also didn't exercise regularly.. thus 30+ lbs later..... Ta Da!

Random Question of the Day: What caused you to gain weight?

I was a skinny minnie all my life until I got a part time job when I turned 16 at a fast food place. I worked there for the rest of high school and part of college. I was there a lot and ate the food all the time. My meals got gradually bigger and bigger (as did my behind) because it was so tasty! I sometimes wonder if I had gotten a job at something other than a food place whether I would have gained the weight at all.
