SO...thought I'd try and start a new thread for us to all update on how we are doing for the Labor Day Challenge. We have 3 weeks remaining, and I honestly don't know if I will reach my goal. I should be able to reach my original goal, but my weight loss has slowed durastically which will make it a little more difficult to reach my revised goal. Here's the stats:
Started Challenge: 174 pounds
Today (8/11): 169 pounds
Original goal: 167 pounds
Revised goal: 162 pounds
Total lost--5 pounds
Total remaining (until original)--2 pounds
Total remaining (until revised)--7 pounds
SO...should be able to hit the original no problem, but may not reach the revised goal. But, I will work really hard and hope for some weigh loss! It's hard because I am SURE I'm gaining muscle as well...I've incorporated weights into my workouts and can actually SEE the muscles getting bigger!
I wish you all the best of luck! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: I hope to hear back from all of you and where you are on your progress!
