Hi Mommies! Here is our new thread :smooched: So the Labor Day Losers goal is: 15 pounds! You can do it! I am nervous, but i need to give it my all and get it off for good! This will operate as the Mommy Challenge did- weekly weigh in on Monday. In addition we will have mini weekly goals/challenges that are suggested amongst us. The 1st mini goal starting July 11th is: Make sure to get your daily recommended water intake: 64 ounces :drinker: Thanks Quiarga for giving us the 1st mini goal. Ok mommies, lets do this! Dont forget to weigh in Monday and post your starting weight here!

    Good morning Mommies! I am in for this challenge and will be giving it my all (all though I know I wont be able to loose all 15 pounds bc my weight loss is just really slow) But i am going to aim for a pound (or more) a week :0) I am so excited for everyone!!

    I am in!!!! I will be on VACA next Monday, but after that, I'm back on track!!! Here we go again.....

    I plan to hit my goal by Sept 5th. It is probably not my final goal, but the lowest I've been since college so I will have to re-evaluate when I am there. I have never been "skinny" so I'm not sure what my ideal weight is. I should hit the healthy BMI during this challenge too. I'm very ready to be out of overweight...I'm so close!!

    Hi Mommies - Looking forward to this challenge with you all!! Ive been on vacation since July 1st and am back to reality on the 11th but looking forward to getting back to my routine. ITs been very hard getting in my excercise lately without my gym and the weather has not been favorable either :-( Today i am being really bold and taking my kids to Water Country - cant believe i will actually get into a bathing suit and stay in it all day - what we wont do for our kids - on a side note i am happy that i had to buy a new suit - went from a size 18 last year and just bought a 12!! Thank you Latoya for our first challenge - definitely helped get me to where i am today and i look forward to being 15lbs lighter by Sept 5th :-) Lets do this mommas!!!!

    I'm in again!!! I don't know if I'll hit the magic 15lbs as my weight loss has really slowed down lately/and my goal is only another 12lbs or so (the closer to goal the slower it goes) but I'll do the best I can!!!!!!

    As of today I'm only 8 pounds away from my goal, and I definitely feel ya on the "it slows wayyyyyy down" part! My goal all along has been to get there by Labor day though so I'm super excited about this next challenge!

    Hi, I know it says closed group but I was wondering if you have room for one more?! My name is Rebecca. I have a 7 month old and am just now trying to get this baby weight off. I put on 50 lbs. with the pregnancy and gave birth to an almost 9 lb. boy. I am ready to lose the last 20 lbs.

    Good Morning Fellow Mommies!!

    I hope everyone had a great weekend.
    I miss being able to work out, and it looks like I'm not gonna be able to start back up until next week.:cry: I tried to get on the elliptical over the weekend and tried walking fast but I'm just NOT ready. I guess doctor DOES know best:tongue:

    Here's my starting weight: 149.0lbs
    My goal is 140lbs by September 5th. It will probably be more challenging without my Insanity workouts, but I'm gonna try my best. I will be lowering my calories until I can resume my workouts.

    Let's all give our best effort to meeting our goals for this challenge! We CAN do this!! I'm truly grateful to have you ladies and this thread for encouragement & support.:flowerforyou:

    Amazing! I remember having conversation with you about reaching 155!!! Look at you now! Congrats! You will be 140 before you know it! Take it easy and you will be back to working out in no time :happy:

    Good morning Mommies!! It's Monday 11th and Labor Day Losers has begun!! I hope we all have our goals in check remembering our first mini-goal (to ensure we are getting at least 64 oz of water each day).

    My first weigh in is 140! I'm so excited cause if all goes as planned I should be at my initial goal weight by Labor Day! So here goes... good luck to us all... and let's be each other's support and motivation through this! We can ALL be hot mama's soon!

    For those who are just joining us, WELCOME! :drinker: (<<<< water) Feel free to add me if you wish!
  • Good Morning! I had a great weekend as I hope all of you did as well. My weight this morning is 206.4. My goal by labor day for this challenge is to be at 191.4!!! That will be back in ONEderland!!! I can't wait. Good luck to you all and keep up all the good work! I have a long way to go but with these little goals it will be easier than saying I need to lose 80 lbs!! Have a great week and see you back on Monday the 18th!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Good Morning! 1 glass of water down! :drinker: My starting weight this morning was 153.7 which made me really excited, because with my first son i got kind of stuck at 152 then when i stopped nursing dropped down to 142(prepreg weight) Just from my milk drying up. No plans to stop nursing anytime soon though so lets hope i dont get stuck at 152 again! My goal is to get down to my pre pregnancy weight of 142 by labor day!! My weight loss has gotten reallllllly slow, so fingers crossed! Look forward to losing with you ladies!!
