Challenge: Lose 20lbs by 5/29!!

mrs_joshica · March 2013

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?

I am in - My SW is 258!

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!

I will be going abroad for part of the challenge so I won't be able to check in then (not wanting to pay the fees for Internet access). I'll let everyone know when that's going to happen though
