    At average 1 pound a day , bouncing back up then back down.. yoyo'ing
    not counting the rest of this month, but starting at March 1 I think there is about 87 days to Memorial day. So I need about 36 pounds to reach my goal..

    It seems so possible, yet it does not.

    I'm in!
    I only started MFP on Saturday, so I have a few more days until my first weigh-in. But, my starting weight on Saturday was 172 - here's hoping for a few pounds less on Saturday!
    And I would love to get to the gym more often, but my work and kids.... you know. So, here's my alternate plan: cardio 5 times a week, gym 2 days a week for weights. I can do the cardio at home and some strength training at home as well ( I hate push-ups and sit-ups! But they work!)
    Good luck everyone!

    My Thursday Weigh-In:

    Last Weeks Weight: 207
    Current weight: 205
    Goal weight: 180 (as of Memorial Day anyway)
    Goal weight loss per week: Hopefully 2 lbs a week
    Pounds lost this week: 2
    Pounds lost total: 4 for this challenge (65 total since September 4)


    I was only able to get to the gym once this week...but I did go out dancing Saturday night, which we all know is great cardio! :)

    Man, I am so close to being under 200!! When I started my new lifestyle back in September at 270 lbs, it seemed like an impossible goal and now here I am, not only nearing that goal but also feeling confident I can and WILL reach my ultimate goal of 135!
