    I only need to work off 10 more lbs, but I have been stuck for awhile. I used to weight 248.5 and I currently weigh 155. My goal weight is 145. I really need to tone. I have lost a lot of weight, but have a lot of extra skin that I need to tone. I would love to start this challenge and be in that pretty Xmas dress and feel confident about myself.

    Count me in, please. I saw this post last week and thought I posted, but reading through from the start to see who is involved, I didn't see me!

    I am just starting out losing weight and have a way to go. Small steps help keep the finish line in sight.

    A challenge will help keep me motivated and give me an external deadline.

    I'll join too! I'm 24 and ready to make some serious changes to become a healthier person. Also, I hate running, so I'm determined to conquer that and turn it into something I enjoy. (It also helps that my buddy bet me to run a 5k by Christmas, or I'll owe him a nice bottle of bourbon! So this challenge coincides perfectly.)

    Height: 5'5''
    CW: 150
    GW: 135

    GOALS: Run a 5k; build healthy, protein-rich vegetarian eating habits; and start regular yoga/weight training/running routines!

    Small goals: to fit into my "skinny" jeans before Christmas, to walk 5k 4 times a week, to get to the gym at least twice a week

    Sept 15 is my 30th birthday so it is a great day to start making a big change!

    I'm in!

    After having my daughter (who just turned 2), i lost 50 lbs. I have since gained back 10. i am determined to get back into the great shape i used to be in before having kids. I used to be a great weight and was nicely toned. i LOOKED like i worked out, and i loved it. Plus i genuinly feel a ton better when im in that shape.

    I now have 2 kids plus 2 step kids. I recently made the change to being a stay at home mom. now that all but one kid is in school i have the time to get back into a routine and i need to! Plus i am turning 30 this coming march. I want to look good and feel good so i can continue on that path well into my 30's :)

    CW: 145
    GW: 135
    Ultimate goal: 130lb, able to run in a marathon (cardio and endurance has never been my strong suit)

    i really need to be motivated and to have people on my butt to reach these goals! im hoping my husband will get into this with me, but in the meantime i need help! thanks :)

    Currently, I'm 213 lbs and in 3 months, I'd like to be 200 lbs. I also have a goal to finish the Color Run on 10/21 either by walking or running (as long as I finish). And I'm committing to a clean eating lifestyle (at least 80% clean) from today onwards! :)



    I'm doing the Color Run here in AZ too. Good luck to you!

    Count me in! I'm already in the "20 lbs by Halloween" challenge, so I'm hoping I'll be down to at least 165 by Halloween. By Christmas (or around 12/15), I'd like to have dropped about 25 pounds from where I am now.


    SW - 180 pounds
    GW - 155 pounds

    A couple of NSV's - I'd like to be able to run a mile (I keep saying that) and I'd like to be far more toned. I don't have a specific goal for "toned" (like "able to bench press 100 pounds" or "leap tall buildings in a single bound with my power legs") but I would cetainly like to see a fair bit of improvement.

    Good luck to everyone...

    Whoot! I'm in! Dec. 15th is my actual birthday, so what better way to start the morning than to hop on the scale and see a prettier number pop up? Already doing the '20 lbs down by Halloween Challenge', so I'll call this the '40 by my birthday challenge' XD

    CW: 173-174 ish (Was weighed in at the doc's office using one of those manual scales and I don't trust them)
    GW: 155
    UGW: 140

    ALSO, I wanna throw in a few NSVs. I'd like to be able to fit into a comfy size 8 (I'm in a 10 now depending on the jean), and would love to be able to increase muscle strength as well as run for 30 minutes MINIMAL!
