Challenge: Lose 20lbs by 5/29!!

mrs_joshica

HELLO ALL!! Well, I was sitting here thinking what I really wanted for my birthday! And the best present I could come up w/ is to have another 20lbs lost by 5/29/2013. I announced it on my personal feed, and found that, "hey, there may be some people who'd like to join me!" I'd LOVE to be a size 18 by my birthday, for some this may be where you started, but for me its somewhere I need to get to. So, if you'd like to do so, please feel free to leave a comment below, and I'll add you to the challenge. Please make sure that you put your first post w/ your SW, and give a brief introduction so that I don't have to remove you for inactivity.

With that said, the challenge is simple: Do your best, work hard, be conscientious of your workouts and what you eat, and see how close to 20lbs you can get. Post daily, advising if you worked out & what you did. At the end of each week you'll simply take a pic of your scale showing your loss,and post how much you lost that week, or feel free to advise if there was no loss that week, and at the end, whomever lost the most, wins, but hey, we're all winners if we lose even just ONE POUND! The only requirement is that you post to the group daily, even if it is your rest day, just pop your head in and say hey, I'm on a rest day today. If nothing else, you may make some new friends, and enjoy the success of whatever you lose during that time. Anyone want to take this challenge with me?

This is great because when I started MFP in January I wanted to lose 40lbs by my 40th birthday at the end of May and I actually reached that goal last week! Now I need a new goal and this one is perfect. I can't wait to get started!

Can I join? Or is this for ladies only. My current weight is 242, goal weight 210. I'm not doing so well, this may be just what I need.

I have struggled with my weight and every time I get close to breaking the 200lbs mark I gain weight for no apparent reason and get very discouraged. My goal at the beginning of this month was to lose 15lbs by May 1st, well I lost 7lbs and was at 200.5, I was so excited and then out of no where (I kept at my workouts/cardio/eating - nothing changed) I gained 5lbs. I really need some motivation to keep me on track.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone
