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.

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

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 -

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

It's my weigh in tomorrow. I'm a little nervous after gaining a pound last week.
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!!

Bust: 36.5" (-0.0)

I'm not sure what I did to loose that much this week, but I will take it! Holla

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
