    I need to challenge myself more to drop these pounds!

    Current weight 182
    Goal weight by Memorial 172
    (Goal weight by my birthday in October 150!)
    Pounds lost this week: 0
    Pounds lost since starting challenge: 0

    Personal challenge. Keep excercising regularily, add more weights.
    Cardio 45-90 minutes 6-7 days per week. Strength 30-60 minutes 2-3 days per week.
    I eat and exercise to lose 1 lb week (according to the guidlines) but I seem to lose at a much slower rate. But at least I'm going in the right direction!

    I'm in. Ideally I would like to be under 167 by May for my PT test, but I feel that goal may be a bit to ambitious, so while I will secretly strive for that I would still be estatic if I reach the goal below.

    Original post baby weight: 225.4
    Current weight: 202
    Goal weight: 175 (Ultimate 160 by Sept)
    Goal weight loss a week: 2 lbs
    Pounds lost this week: 0 will know on Thursday
    pounds lost total: 23.4

    I am currently doing very good at getting workouts in as long as it is a day I work... would like to get better about doing things on my off days! Would like to be able to complete my 1.5 mile run in under 15:18 by May. Once it warms up I will have a better idea of how far off I really am from that.

    Good luck everyone!

    Tuesday update.....

    I achieved my personal challenge (the crunches) for today.


    (I think if I log whether I do it or not will help me achieve this goal .... if I don't log it to everyone I will forget about it .... my own way of working toward this).

    Thanks ..... good luck to everyone in this challenge ..... keep the motivation going!!!!

    Yes, I have a personal goal/challenge of getting to the gym at least 3 days this week. I went yesterday, so will shoot for at least 2 more days (if not more). Plus, I play and run around with my 15 month old son...that should count for something right???? hehe
