Lose 15 by June 4th Challenge (CLOSED)

StabR80

I am not sure either..She said the winner of the weigh in would chose, I am not sure who that was. I am going to continue with the water and no pop and very limited candy :bigsmile: Will add the new challenge when we hear what it is ... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

My weekend was terrible. I ate really bad yesterday. Like REALLY BAD! But today is a new day and we start fresh! The water challenge has been a challenge, but I need to UP my intake. I'm still being really good about the "no soda" deal. I've had a few, but not like what it used to be. Can't wait to see how I do this week.

Good Morning Everyone, been getting my miles in , in the morning and feeling pretty good. I am trying to make sure I get my water in during the week. For some reason I have a big problem getting my water in at home in the evenings and on weekends. I do have bottled water at home too. I am doing filtered water here at work. I am really looking for some pounds lost this week by Friday. Discipline and Diligence is my goal this week. Have a great day everyone! Stay focused and disciplined but not Fanatical.

great week!!!!!! so nice to see that you've all been working so hard!!


a few things-> MESSAGE ME YOUR WEIGHT... don't post it on here or write it on my wall... it's too hard to go searching for 35 people's weighin numebrs... messaging them is the onyl way to have them entered on the excel sheet. DON'T CHANGE YOUR WEGHT AFTER YOU'VE SENT IT! if you're not happy, work harder the next week & your new weight will be reflective of that.


humglum - you're the winner so far... start thinging of a challange that will start tomorrow AM!!!

GREAT JOB ALL!!!!!! KEEP IT UP XOXOXO

Tommi128

WOW humglum that is GREAT!!!! You lost 7 lbs so You are already halfway at the goal and its only the FIRST week. Great Job!!!!!!!!

madyncaden

great job everyone!!!!!!! i am ready to get working more this week!!! one week closer to the deadline and i want to be down down down!!!!!!!!!

thanks to all for the motivation:)

StabR80

great job everyone!!!! I am hoping for a large loss this week with the upping my water still and no pop and a few personal challenges with walking more and lowering sodium. good luck all!

arodriguez2

my monetary bet with my sister in law ends this FRIDAY and we have been TIED for almost the entire time!! $100 on the line and I can't seem to get myself motivated to work out aarrghh!! Kicking it up a notch this week for sure! Seeing everyone's loss (especially that 7lbs) is GREAT motivation! Can't wait to hear the new challenge.

susanjackson66

Congrats to everyone! Keep up the good work!!

vetsnatural

Congrats to everyone! Can't wait to see the weekly challenge and I am looking for big results everyone so I am already thinking of my challenge for the following week.

breezymom81

Way to go everyone!! I am hoping for about 3 this week, last week I played around with eating exercise calories or not(nope seems to hurt me if I eat them!!) SO this week I won't have that, plus I started C25K this am and pick up some new videos from libary to work with!!

Can't wait to start a new challenge!!

humglum

Thanks, everyone! That is definitely unusual for me and I don't expect to see a drop that big again in the near future (or at all lol).

I think my challenge will be to work out at least 4 days this week (in whatever way you prefer, to the best of your ability, just so you are working hard and pushing yourself at least 4x). I know people have different abilities so I don't want to nail down a number of hours spent working out or calories burned, just make an effort and do the best you can! So with water, limited candy/soda, and frequent exercise we should be golden.

Have a great week!

That is what I would have chosen as well! I love it! Well I kicked butt today with C25K and mowed half the yard!!

StabR80

Just the kind of challenge I need!!! awesome! good luck everyone!!

Hi everyone, looks like we all had a great week.
I am hoping I did not do to much damage this past weekend as I was out of Province with my hubby.
It is so hard sticking to your routine when you are eating meals out.
Trying to get my water in. I did get through the challenge with out any soda or candy.
I walked on my treadmill for 45 minutes today, and was hoping to do another little bit tonight but
have had some family issues come up so not likely to get that done. So one in and 3 more to go. I was
thrilled with my 3.5 lbs loss last week.
Good luck everyone. Have a great week.
Cheers
Marilyn

awesome challenge Good luck to all my MFP buddies. Let's kick some butt again this week. :happy:

chelsey728

love the challenge!! thanks!!!

because this challange got started a little late (due to missing weigh ins) the challenge will go until Monday when the new winner is announced. PLEASE get me your weights before Monday @ 2PM EST so I can post the results & notify the weeks winner. Also, if you haven't weighed in yet send me your weight today or you are out. It's not fair to everyone else!

CONGRATS TO THE FIRST WINNER: DOWN 7LBS!!! FANTASTIC humglum!!!

susanjackson66

I should be able to do this challenge. I have to work out daily just to have calories to eat!! I did get in all my water yesterday. Still no soda, but have had some candy. We can do this!!:happy:

malibootie

This is one challenge I know I can master! I had a kickball game last night, and will have another one tonight (and yes, my co-ed league is QUITE competitive- in fact, I was trying so hard last night I took a tumble once I got to first and landed in the dirt. No blood, no foul, safe at first!) and then I want to get back into my RunKeeper tracking. So 4 days is easy peasy. Well, it will be hard work while I'm doing it, but meeting the goal is certainly attainable! YAY!

vetsnatural

Love the new challenge and a great mix of new and old.... we can do this guys! Discipline, Discipline, Discipline.

arodriguez2

this is perfect since I have been slacking in the working out department!! Good luck everyone! We can do it!

chelsey728

I will post some stats tomorrow about how the group did as a whole! it looks like we lost a few people... but overall FANTASTIC! talk to you all tomorrow :-) xoxo

breezymom81

I am kicking this challenges *kitten*! Yesterday I started C25K, and mowed the yard! Today I did Skinny ***** Boot Camp and have spin class tonight!!! Eating good, drinking good, limiting soda/ no candy and keeping up 110 ounces! I am ready to rock this

Monicazumba2013

LOVING this challenge!!! Day 2 is DONE!!!

susanjackson66

I have worked out every morning this week and have drank my water. No soda, but have had some dang Easter candy! Everyone have a great day!

chelsey728

Hi all!!! Keep up the AMAZING work!! it's official... we lost a few member and are now down to 30 people. To make things a little clearer:

-Weigh in is Friday (I understand things happen) so have you weight to me on MONDAYS before 2pm
-Results will be posted by 3pm, MONDAYS and the winner will be announced.
-Winner will post the challenge on the board
- Weekly challenge starts & end Mondays. You do not need to carry over old challenges (but you're more than welcome to do so if you would like!)
- Please message me your weight - not your loss. I have an excel sheet that it set up to determine the difference from last week.

*DRUM ROLL*

Results:
30 people average loss: 2.5lbs!!!!! AMAZING! SO SO SO close to the 3lbs per week needed! let's push ourselves even harder this week knowing that we're so close to the target weekly loss.
12 out of 30 people (40%) lost 3lbs or more!
Only 2 of 30 people had a gain - BUT their gain was LESS then 1lb!!

Let make it our goal to have 50% lose 3lbs or more this week!!

KEEP IT UP!!!!

breezymom81

So my TOM starts soon, meaning I am super bloated and retaining water, and so hungry (for the bad stuff :noway: )But I will not eat it, instead I will find better choices! I wanted a peanut butter cup SOOOO bad this morning, instead I had an apple with peanut butter, and it hit the spot just right!! I am going to try to up my water some and eat 1200 net calories. Having a hard time getting those calories just right but I am gonna do it!

MelL1205
