Okay I am so totally in. I am pregnant (35 weeks) baby due on May 30.
I will be 1 year post op on June 4, 2013. So for me it is going to be a challenge.
I have been able to maintain my weight at 179.6. I want to get to 160 by July 4, 2013.
With breastfeeding and working out I think it is a realistic goal.
Any thoughts????
Absolutely, you can do it!! Congrats on your new family member (soon to be here!!)0 -
Definitely! Simply popping the baby out will surely get you close!0

Checking in: 154.6 this morning
Goal for 7/4: 145
Still hoping I can reach this by then.0 -
Current: 209
Goal: 1950 -
Thursday, so I'm checking in:
Starting Weight:171.2
Goal Weight: 159
4/18/13: 171.2
4/25/13: 168.8 - 2.4 lbs. WOOHOOO
And I've already worked out 3 times this week!0 -
4/11/13-Current weight: 131.2
Goal: 130 and maintain and continue to walk 2 miles at 5:30am to walking dvd, 100 or more squats a day, go to the gym to workout for cardio and weight machines 3-4 times a day.
4/18/13 130.20 loss of 1 pound. .20 pounds from my personal goal weight!
Walked 2 miles at 5:30 M-F the last week, 100 squats done daily and went to the gym Thursday, Sat, Monday, Tuesday and today Thursday doing cardio and weight machines. Met with the trainer at the gym Tues after my workout to change it up some since I have been doing the same cardio and weight machines for three months now. Will start the new workout program today after work!
4/25/13 129.80 pounds loss of .40 pounds. Made my personal goal weight of 130 and now just working on maintaining it. If I loose more that is ok but not really working on loosing anymore at this point.
I have been doing 125 squats a day and went to the gym Sat and Monday so far this week due to out of town work trips on Tues and Wed. Gonna try to get there today afterwork and then one day of this weekend. I like the new workout program I am doing with the weights and machines along with the mix of cardio. Takes a little longer since I am going all over the gym now versus just going down the line of weight machines. Been doing 40 minutes of my walk at home dvd now for 3 miles but only was able to do it Mon and Tues this week due to work trips.0 -

I'm in! We will be at our cabin in NY on the 4th so I will have to have my last report in June before we head north. No internet service there (or scale)!
Current Weight 167.8
Goal Weight 155
Fitness goal: Run 3 miles at 10 min/mi (Currently running 2.5 miles at 11 min/mi)
Thinking a massage for a reward, and no Gold Peak Diet Tea (my new addiction) for a week as a consequence.0 -

GW: 150
Still having trouble increasing exercise beyond 3 days a week.
Trying for 4 days this week!
Have a great day!!0 -
I would like to be in on this, but since i'm having the sleeve on May 8, that will kind of be cheating I guess
I'm rooting for everyone here!0 -
Hello all! What an awesome challenge. I am currently stalled (no weight loss in the past 3 weeks). This may be what I need to get over that hurdle.
I am 48 years old and in Aug 2011 I had gastric banding at 380 pounds. I have lost just under 130 pounds when I get to a loss of 150 pounds I am going to have my first tattoo done.
Starting Weight: 251.7
Goal Weight: 231 (or lower)
Lofty goal but it can be done. Good luck everyone!
Not a good 2 weeks. I had a gain. First gain since i started this journey. Oh well, the scale will not define me! It's just a number.
4/14 - 251.7
4/29 - 255.60 -
So I'm late in joining this, but I'm in.
Starting Weight: 229.6
Goal Weight: 199 or lower
It might be to much of a goal, but I see family at the end of June who have not seen me in three years, so I'd like them to be shocked!0 -
HRH, feel free to join in anyway!! There's no such thing as cheating here! It's not a competition. As long as you are here for support and to give support towards reaching common goals, you are welcome to join at any time! I'm glad to see people still joining. July is still 2 months away!
Does anyone have any plans for how they are going to celebrate if they reach their goal or how they might 'punish' themselves otherwise if you like?
I think I'll buy a new bathing suit if I reach my goal.
And as I said before, I'll punish myself with no facebook for a week and no TV/Movies for a month so I can focus on doing more moving.
Feel free to post how you may celebrate or what have you once July comes!0 -
Thursday, so I'm checking in again:
Starting Weight:171.2
Goal Weight: 159
4/18/13: 171.2
4/25/13: 168.8 - 2.4 lbs.
5/1/13 : 168.8 - 0
It's that time of the month for me, so I'm bloated and all that fun stuff. No problem though! Still going to the gym at least 3 days a week
