new year's resolutions: lose 5-15 pounds by labor day

godblessourhome

I am doing the 5k race for life on Saturday 7/2 & my aim is to run the complete course.

I have just re-looked @ the dates on my form after reading an email from race for life its on the Sunday not the Saturday woops. It will be an extremely long day is i am meant to be working from lunch till 9pm. I have bought a tuto for it, which is a shocking pink leopard print hehe. I still have my t-shirt from last time

i've done that too. i hate when i realize a race is actually a different day; it messes with my mental mojo.

I am in, again. Hopefully this time I will go down in weight instead of staying put.
My name is Robyn I am 32 years old. My husband and I have been together for 6 years and live in a very small house, with a great dane. My husband is a workout fanatic, everyday for over and hour, or he gets crabby. I can't workout with him because his expectations are to high for my not so fit body. I can't even talk about my workout without him giving me advice. :explode:
Love him but this is one area that we don't get along, he pushes and I push back, (by sitting on the sofa.)
I am a laboratory tech. at the local hospital, I work night shift. I work 7, 10 hour days than have 7 days off. I have been having a hard time with weight lose for the last couple of months. I know I need to get better about logging my food. :sad:
I plan on doing a 60 mile bike ride at the end of September.

Goal weight -9 from offical start weight

Welcome Robyn, I hope this group helps you in the way you need.
I have not logged my food for over a month. I must start doing it again. At the moment i have started to eat four small meals a day & it seems to be helping me keep going at work.
I did the race for life on Sunday & it was extremely hot. I completed it by walking four miles & running one mile through out. I beat my time from last time by three minutes which i am chuffed about. I dislike my photo my hubbie took but that is because i am still big around my stomach. I need to start doing the biggest loser Wii game again & go on bike rides.

happy fourth of july! who's excited about weighing in?

jesscoff320

My name is Jessica. I am 35 yrs old and my current weight is 179 (as of 6/29). I have lost 7 pounds so far on MFP after losing 15 on weight watchers and gaining 7 back. I haven't ever participated in any of these challenges and I am not sure how it all works, but I will figure it out. I don't really have any hobbies. I enjoyed making jewelry until we made it a business. I have not made jewelry since November 2010. We have planted a garden and I have spent a lot of this summer pulling weeds. I currently work as an assistant in a high school class with children with special needs. I am certified to teach, but I have been unable to find a teaching position. This fall, I am going back to school to add another teaching certification. I love my job adn helping children with special needs. I have learned so much from the children I work with. I would prefer elementary age children, but I trust God has me where he wants me.
I am blessed with a wonderful, supportive husband and a sweet chocolate lab. He is all the chocolate I need.

Is the start weight the weight I was at when I started or my current weight and is the goal weight, my end goal weight or my goal by Labor Day?

godblessourhome

Hi! I kinda fell off at the end of the last challenge. June was not a good month for me. I havent weighed in for a couple of weeks but I know Im up 5-10lbs :explode: I'll weigh in tomorrow morning and I'll use that as my starting weight and 1st week weigh in.

Good Luck Everyone! :flowerforyou:

godblessourhome

lol, loveme, the great thing about these challenges is you jump in where you are and there are no expectations other than what you put on yourself. we are just glad to have you!

Charice

OK, I am in! I have been traveling for work for the past couple of weeks so I didn't weigh in last week. I will use yesterday's weight as my starting, so I probably won't see a big change the first week. I hope to lose 10 lbs....been on a plateau for a long time so I hope to crack through that now that I am home.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Alison. Hope it's not too late to join in. I've been using MFP off and on for over a year now, but haven't been able to lose any substantial weight and keep it off. I just recently went back to school and that extra me time I used to have disappeared. I need some extra motivation and think this will be good for me. I love to read, go for bike rides, and hang out with friends and family.

Good job! You're right a loss is a loss even if it's 1 pound. Good luck in the next week!

Not so great, but could be worse. I have really been hitting the workouts hard the past couple of days so I was hoping for at least a little bit of loss...and so it goes. Everyone else seems to be kicking it off well! Congrats!!

ralison

I need some motivation or tips from you girls. The only time I can squeeze some exercise in is in the morning at 5. I always have my alarm go off at that time, but I can never get myself out of bed. Any tips on accomplishing this?

Thanks!

Hey can I join a day late?
I'm pretty new, I like that there is so much food info already in the system that I just have to find it. I have 4 kids under the age of 12 so I have a hard time finding time to excercise by myself, but I just got a bike and have been making the kids go riding with me at night. I have lots of baby weight hanging on that I'd like to get rid of. So this is the first challenge I've been a part of. Good luck!
