    I challenge you!

    I do the Shred occasionally, elliptical, weights, zumba, and walking.

    What are your weight loss goals?

    I am currently 166 and would like to be 140. My partner is away for 9 weeks so I thought it would keep me busy and healthy to start exercises and eating right !

    26 lbs? OK - My ultimate goal is 38 more lbs, but I would settle for 26 (or anything, haha). That would be a sweet surprise for your sweetie. It's a lot for a 9 week challenge though. I think the cardio will be key. What are your food goals?

    Day 1 - what have you done?

    I did JM's DVD: Burn Fat Boost Metabolism (BFBM), and wanted to turn it off on the 5th of the 6th circuits, but I made it all the way through. Tomorrow will be an "arms" day for sure. My eating was decent cause I was out most of the day, so boredom eating didn't find me.

    Charlyef... Great goal! You can definitely do it! What will you be doing activity- and food-wise to make it there?

    So, I figured it out, and assuming we "started" yesterday, June 15th will be the end of this challenge.

    I'll join you gals. Always looking for ways to stay motivated. I am currently 186, my ultimate goal is 150 so 36lbs more for me. I try to walk everyday and I also have several Biggest Loser DVDs that I rotate through.

    Today I walked for 35 minutes, and did 50 mins of the weight loss Yoga DVD.

    I will be mostly doing Zumba, but I could probably add some surprise Cardio too....

    Hi meghan, princess, and channy.

    I'm still trying to eat better. Yesterday I was out ALL DAY so I didn't get to workout like I wanted to. I have a project due Saturday night that I have barely started, so I can't see much working out tonight. Once it's out of the way, I know I will have less on my mind, less procrastination, and can workout consistently again. Aiming to at least lift some weights tonight.

    Tomorrow we will be 1 week into the challenge. I encourage everyone to check in! I feel like I've been doing really good the past 2 days - today will make it 3 in a row! Have a great day everyone!

    I would love to join in! I'm currently weighing in at 187 lbs, my ultimate goal is 160 (at least for now).... for the 9 weeks I would like to lose around 15 lbs. I'm needing some extra motivation to keep me going as my weight loss has been slow, even the weeks I'm really "good", and this sounds like the ticket!

    This is perfect for me!! I've got a goal to lose 15lbs by June 14th but aiming for 20lbs. I'm doing the 30DS and extensive amounts of cardio 6 days a week.

    Feel free to add me!!

    Today is check-in day (or at least sometime this week... I check in on Tuesdays), and welcome to week 2! How are things going with everyone?

    Hi momlalie and kodakmemories!

    Here are the stats for last week:

    When you update your weight, I will update the chart, and post a new one sometime mid-week. I will also work on making it the right size, and add new people.

    I would love to join your weight loss challenge. I was looking for one of these for awhile. I've been trying to start a diet and exercise since January, but I finally started with my husband last week. So this will be great for me a little support goes a long way. Good for you for starting a weight loss challenge on you own , Kudos to you! I'm 5'-4" and I weigh 155lbs ,my goal is to be 120. We'll see how that works. I don't know how much I'll lose in the 9 weeks but I'm giving myself until the end of July to reach my goal. So good luck to you!

    I would love to join! I'm currently doing the 30 Day Shred (day 4) with 3-4 days of cardio mixed in and some randomly added strength training. I could always use more support, and would love to give you support. Anyone can add me if they feel they want to. :)

    I have been doing the elliptical, walking and the treadmill 5 or 6 times a week for approximately 25 miles/week
    Now I need to stay under calories and I feel I will make some progress.

    I am 5' 6" and weight 166 and I would love to get to 156.

    I will weigh myself tomorrow at work, (that's the scale I normally utilize for consistency) But for the week I've done Zumba 45min sessions everyday except for yesterday and today. (I normally take one of the weekend days off but in this case it was unscheduled to take both days)

    mistij... That's great that your husband is joining you! Double the motivation! Generally people recommend a steady loss of about 1-2 lbs / week. More than that is too fast, and you will be more likely to gain it back.

    treenuh... Your workouts sound like mine. Some 30DS, some cardio here and there, some strength thrown in... Whatever! It's all good.

    tina... I am loving my elliptical these days. This week it's been my main form of cardio.

    kiki... I bet those twins are keeping you busy! I've added you to the chart.

    6"o'fury... Love the user name. What kind of crossfit stuff do you do? I really don't even know what crossfit is, but it seems to be all the rage - or fury - these days.

    mimi... ZUMBA!!! Love it! I think I will Zumba up a storm for tomorrow's workout!
    _____

    As for me, my workouts have been EXCELLENT, but today I not only had some sugars (maple syrup on french toast, and honey - but it was in my strong herbal tea, that is literally not going to be drunk unless it has honey in it!) and then I went a little crazy on my sibling's left over Easter chocolate. Next time I need to hide it in the cupboard. Other than that, I'm looking forward to the start of a great new week, and going out of town on Thursday!

    Hi ladies, I'd love to join you! I've been having a heck of a time geting motivated lately, lots going on in the homelife and whatnot. I'm pretty sick of not trying and therefore not making any progress! I'm hoping if I get on board with you guys it'll light a fire under my butt to try and keep up =)! I was 180 this morning =(, would like to be 165 by the end of our challenge!

    MissBum... You can do this! I've added you to the list!

    Just another note to everyone to check in by Wednesday afternoon if you want me to update your weights this past week. I weight in tomorrow! (But my eating hasn't been totally on track these past 2 days.)
