Thanks for updating! I am sorry about the small gain, but we have ALLLLL been there! I want to commend you for posting it publically and also being dedicated! I wish you only the best this week! Hopefully you will see a double loss this week You are making the progress in the right direction - great work!0 -
I'd like to lose 10 lbs by then, I'm in!
Progress: I've lost 6.8 lbs so far. 1 month to go!0 -
heyyyyy everyone! lost 1.5 pounds this week, and tried on my wedding dress and it so nearly fits! so motivated to keep it going! xx0

Lost a pound! Yay! Only 6.5 pounds to go... =P I would love to see some serious schlepping of this poundage... I'm trying not to eat back my exercise calories to hopefully expedite the process. So far so good! I definitely don't feel like I'm starving between meals, which is a huge victory on this lower calorie diet. I'm getting used to eating good portions instead of eating until I'm full (because by then its waaay too late and I know I've had too much, haha). It's been a little scary because I'm not bringing snacks to work anymore, and I know that if I get really hungry I go downhill fast, haha. But damn if that Greek yogurt isn't some kind of magical appetite suppressant!! I've been eating it at breakfast every day and sometimes at lunch, too.0

I'm in! I'd like to lose 15-16 pounds by Labor Day. This morning I weighed in at 171.4 so hopefully by Labor Day I'm down to 155-156. That would be AMAZING My ultimate goal is 125-130.
Good luck to everyone, we can do this!
Whoops, forgot to check in all month! My first post was on the 8th and today is the 31st. I'm at 168.0 today, so that's 3.4 pounds gone in three weeks. 34 days till Labor Day, and I'd need to lose 12 pounds to reach the goal I posted... not sure that's possible, but I'll do my best and see what happens! Any loss is a win, in my opinion0 -

Wonderful progress! Congrats! Yes, I too have gotten used to the smaller portions and really listening to my body instead of overeating until i am stuffed! I have 100 calorie snacks with me at work, incase i get the urge of hunger - because I do not want to come home and binge eat! Congrats again! Keep up the awesome work!0 -
I am 210 and have been for months I want to be 200 by labor day since its by b day!! Thanks for this thread.0

I'll join I'm 183.4 I'd like to be in the 170s and clear of the 180s by sept... Im going to visit my grandma for a week in aug so this challenge should help me stay focused!0
-
Better late than never! I started changing what I eat and exercising 3 weeks ago and have not weighed myself since, when I weighed myself on 7/9 I was 215. I would LOVE to be 200 by the time Sept 3rd rolls around! Staying off the scale has really helped me stay motivated...I am not obsessing about my progress...I can't wait to finally weigh myself though.0
-
I AM IN! Late, but still here. Let's see, I'll commit to going from 244.2 to 235. It's a lot, but if your dreams don't scare you, maybe they're not big enough, right?! Hope everyone's doing well!0
-
My current weight is 156 I would like to be under 150 by Labor Day!!! I'm kinda new at this so I may need some instruction on how to post!!! If you want to add me as a friend you can!!!0

Welcome to all the new joiners! This is really casual, I always try and update my progress weekly (Sunday Night/Monday Morning) - please feel free to log your progress as well! I'm so thrilled that my mini goal for myself has motivated so many! Good Luck to you all!0

I've given up fizzy drinks in the hope it'll help with the weight loss.
It's day one, and let's just say I am slightly cranky, although I've just eaten an apple which has helped a) with the hunger I was feeling and b) it's got rid of the craving for something sweet.
Must not cave in to fizzy-ness!0 -
I'm in! I too want to be out of the 200s by labour day. I will avoid sweets and cut down on wine etc. Good luck to everyone!0

Labor day falls on my birthday this year....I can't think of a better way to ease the pain of getting older than to be down 20 pounds!
So my labor day goal is to lose 20 and be walking 3 miles a day!0 -
Must not cave in to fizzy-ness!
haha, O Carbonation, we all crave you from time to time!
I'll be checking in tomorrow! I resisted the urge for an early weigh in this morning... we shall see if stricter calories and more exercise have made a dent...0 -
Here's my official check-in: 161... That's a total of 1.5 lost since last Thursday! =D I'm pretty pleased about that.
Unfortunately we are getting lots of smoke from fires around here so I may have to postpone my workout tomorrow and just do a day of indoor Zumba/yoga. =( Not as fun as C25K...0 -

Hello fellow Challengers I gained a bit of weight after my husband's birthday (July 27th) weekend - week celebration. The cake is all gone and I've even got out the food scale for the first time ever and am weighing everything.
Here are my stat's for the first week- I don't weigh in until Fridays ( I skipped last Friday because I'm doing a Zumba challenge of lose a pant/dress size in 10 days).
July 30th Stats are as follows:
Weight: 177.8 lbs
Bust: 39 inches
Hips: 44.5 inches
Right Thigh: 24 inches
Left Thigh: 23.5 inches
Right Arm: 14 1/2 inches
Left Arm:13 inches
Neck: 14
Something exciting people at work are asking me if I'm losing weight. It's a great feeling!
Good Luck everyone!

I'm in! I'd like to lose fifteen pounds by then if that is possible! I'm 140 now so my goal is to be 125 by labor day!0

I need this challenge because I'd like to lose six more pounds by September 12th, my 20th wedding anniversary. That would put me at what I weighed on my wedding day.
However, Labor Day is when I arrive back home from three weeks vacation so it will be a challenge indeed to still be going strong by that date. Wish me luck!0 -
I am 210 and have been for months I want to be 200 by labor day since its by b day!! Thanks for this thread.0

Well done to those losing so far!0 -

It's been week since I originally started this thread! I hope you all are making progress towards your goal. This week I have been trying to tweak my caloric intake that best works with my body for weight loss and I think I wa successful! I will post my results for this week below. Seven more weeks to achieve my goal of getting under 200! Whoot whoot!
[WEEK ONE]
Weight: 212
Bust: 37"
Waist: 38"
Hips: 48"
Now I did have a bit of a binge over the weekend... It was my sisters 21st birthday celebration! So I'm probably going to have to work extra hard this week to achieve my goal. However this is a new life style and sometimes it won't work out like we want, but I'm dedicated to get back on track tomorrow morning!
I hope everyone is doing great! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
[WEEK TWO] Monday, July 23, 2012
Weight: 211.5 (-0.5)
Bust: 36.5" (-0.5)
Waist: 37.5" (-0.5)
Hips: 47" (-1.0)
Neck: 15"
Like I said, the weekend of July 14th I was out celebrating my sisters 21st birthday - so lots of empty calories in drinking and eating out! I had gained three pounds after that weekend! Ugh! But I worked extremely hard and I lost .5 lb! Small victory (because in my head it was really 3.5 - since i had gained)! Good Luck! I hope to rock it out this week!!
[WEEK THREE] Sunday, July 29, 2012
Weight: 207.0 (-4.5)
Bust: 36.5" (-0.0)
Waist: 37.0" (-0.5)
Hips: 46" (-1.0)
Neck: 14" (-1.0)
I'm not sure what I did to loose that much this week, but I will take it! Holla
[WEEK FOUR] Monday, Aug. 6, 2012
Weight: 207.5 (+0.5)
Bust: 36.5" (0.0)
Waist: 37.0" (0.0)
Hips: 45" (-1.0)
Neck: 14" (0.0)
Well you can look at my diary, I did not have a great week (it happens) so I stayed pretty much the same! I am getting back in gear and kicking butt this week! I also did a lot of training for my triathlon, so I do not know if my muscles have gained (therefor the weight gain)? This week I vow to drink half of my weight in ounces of water! Please police my diary and yell at me if I am not logging 12 cups of water per day! Good to all!0 -
Is it too late to join?? I have been with MFP for 3 weeks and have lost 5 lbs. Down to 214 as of last week (and I am pretty sure I lost a few since then but plan to weigh in again Wednesday) I would really like to be down another 10 lbs by Labor Day. I can keep you posted on my progress. Good luck everyone0
