    Holy did you get the response to the challenge. I am also up for it. I started only yesterday. Not sure if I can make the 20pound mark but I am up for the challenge. Never knew how little 1200 calories is. It is only 7:30pm and I am done for the day and I haven't eaten candies have a problem of needed a pop a day hard to give up that, but that is what takes my calories away. Thank goodness for excercises gives me more food to eat (good food of course)


    Age: 38
    Starting weight: 173.5 (from the Wii Fit scale)
    Currant weight: 173.5 (same)
    Goal weight. 148.0 ( will have to accept 153. for the challenge)
    Day/s minutes of exexecies: 5 days/ try to 1 hour walking 1/2 hour bike ride


    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. WE CAN DO IT ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    P.S Just read a post down below if we all make our goal weight we get to go to Beppy8's wedding.:happy:

    Hey gang-
    hope you guys are gearing up for the second weigh in this Friday, already!!!
    This week has not been the greatest for me in terms of weight loss, however, on the plus side, I am way more consistent with my workouts and am witnessing my stamina and endurance increase each day.
    There is something I want to ask??? What are you guys doing for rewards each time you overcome an obstacle/ reach a weightloss goal etc!
    I've broken mine down.
    Goal 1- Reach 180 (-5 lbs) New trainers for the gym.
    Goal 2- Reach 175 (-10lbs) New Highlights- gearing up for Summer.
    Goal 3- Reach 170 (-15lbs) Donate all baggier loose fitting clothes. I should be down at least one size.
    Goal 4- Reach 165 (-20lbs) Botox! Yeap- I'm gonna go for it.:tongue:
    Goal 5- Reach 160 (-25 lbs) Shoppinf spree at Victoria's Secret. Purge all old granny knickers for bright, beautiful SMALLER ones.
    ....and on and on

    Ultimate goal for me is to hit 140 lbs. On that day I am marching into the Jeweler's store and picking up a diamond eternity band I have had my eye on for months.
    This is about me and my journey. I need incentives and rewards to keep me on track.
    Anyone else out there doing something similar?
    Again, welcome to all the new faces. Swoopoette, you are so right, this thread is on fire.
    Keeks.

    money is tight right now, so my exciting rewards right now are fitting back into clothes that have been to small... Everytime I lose 5 lbs I try on my skinny jeans...a shirt i haven't worn for awhile...t.hat dress that is going to look killer when I get to my 20 lb goal...

    Hi there.. I am a single mom of 2 that saw the scale hit 225lbs when i went to give birth to my 1st son just 3 years ago.
    I currently weigh 195...
    I am only 23yrs old and definitely not happy with my weight.
    I am joinging the challenge!!

    SW: 195
    Goal:150

    A tip for everyone.. look into getting the fitness ball.. Walmart has it for under $10!!! you can do cardio and strengthening exercises all in one. Ive been doing ab workouts and boy!!! Am I feeling muscles I've never felt before. And if you get the .. i think they are pilates belts.. they are stretching belts, you can add workouts to your fitness ball.

    Good luck everyone.. and Im looking forward to this challenge!!

    Wow Nelly!!!
    I cannot believe how many of you are up for the challenge- what a great show of force.
    Now the real work begins.
    For you Newbies, tomorrow will be your official first weigh in. All's you need to do is post your
    SW, CW and your workouts for the week. Remember- we are only interested in your actual time/days/calories burned versus what you INTEND to do for the week. This site is about accountability and pushing yourselves out of the comfort zone. :explode:

    For the rest, this is week 2.
    In addition to posting all of the above, please also add your weight for the first weigh in and how many pounds you have lost (or gained. It's ok peeps, let's keep it real here).

    Make this day count and feel light as a feather on those scales tomorrow.
    Cheers

    Hi everyone! This is my first day and I cannot believe I am only now discovering this amazing site.
    Straight to the point...I'm a 42 and 40lbs overweight. In a word, FAT.
    The weird thing is that I haven't seen myself as such until recently. Ever have those times when you get all dolled up for a night out and you really think you're smokin. Then out comes a camera and there you are...only you don't look as hot as you feel. Happens to me all the time. My eyes look squinty, the chins are creating a collar on my neck , and all the emotions of guilt, shame and anger at myself come tumbleing into play. Some people have coined the phrase "Skinny-Fat"- that's me ok.
    How did I let myself get to this point.
    Well this is it for me. I'm married to a man who works out 6 days a week and looks better 15 years later than the day I first met him. He can't say that about me. I want to make him proud and be that hot girlfriend again. So here's the deal.

    I'm throwing a challange out there for anyone who wants to lose 20lbs between now and August 31st.
    We would weigh in each Friday and log the following.

    Age
    Starting weight
    Currant weight
    Goal weight
    Days/minutes of exercise

    What do you say????
    Who's ready to put your butts into high gear and be shredded for Summer?
    Let's do this

    Cheers!
    Keeks

    :drinker: I'm in! I wish I had seen this post sooner! I have about 20 pounds before reaching my goal weight of 120. Here are my stats:

    Age 41
    Starting weight 137 (as of today for this challenge...original start weight was 180 :blushing: last summer)
    Currant weight 137
    Goal weight 120
    Days/minutes of exercise: 6/4/09 - 30 minutes - Slim in 6 Start It Up!

    Let's get this going!! I know, I know, I'm late...:grumble:
