    My goal was to get to 200lbs this year...Then i changed the goal to 199, to say I weigh in the 100s...207.5 lbs today big baby...HOLLA AT YOUR BOY. Im losing roughly a pound a week....so with 15 lbs to go, and the determination of a termite, I'm probably going to come in at 195-190 by the end of the year.

    CW: 224
    GW: 205

    I plan to get here by doing my cardio 5 days a week, strength training for 3 of those days on top, and trying to eat cleaner. I will cut out diet sodas and drink a little bit of coffee to get my caffeine fix. I'm ready. :)

    I am in! It will be nice to do a long challenge.

    CW:229
    GW by New Years: 200

    29 pounds feels like a lot to me for some reason but it would be nice to be at 200lbs by new years.
    I will accomplish this goal by eating healthy and sticking with my current workout plan of 4-5 days a week
    My exercises vary between zumba, body jam, 30 day shred, and regular gym workouts.

    Weigh ins- Mondays: since it fits with most mini-challenges

    Hi I am in!
    I lost 16 in 8 weeks so figure I can double that for 15 weeks, but not quite so will go with 30 lbs down by New Years! Double incentive as I am going home at that same time to visit, would love to go with that much gone!
    SW - 198
    Goal by December 31 - 168

    I usually do not have a problem with the food, so plan is to continue eating the healthier foods that i have been. I dont have cheat days. So my plan needs to focus on getting more exercise in on my busy schedule.

    Start Date: Sunday October 14,2012

    I'm in. My current weight is 162.4 lbs. I've actually gained a few pounds since I joined this site. Time to pay attention to everything I eat and drink. I'd like to lose 15 lbs. by December 31st. No more vending machine at work and nightly vino. I'm going to start doing some stretching and strength training exercises 3-4 times per week. We can do it!
  • I am 136 at the moment. On New Years I would like to get out of the 30s and into the 20s.

    I'm in.
    Cw : 223 lbs
    GW: 195 lbs
    Lose 28lbs by christmas (not my ultimate goal but for next year it is)

    I have reset my goals as in calorie-wise and have been given 1200 a day which i think is too low so going to try for 1400 a day with alot of walking so i can eat a little more. Dont normally eat exercise calories though.

    1. Jog with my boyfriend every weekday.

    2. Get rid of any excuses. (im on my period, i wasnt feeling well.)

    3. Never eat over 1500 calories.

    4. Continue to Zumba 4 times a week. (monday,wednesday,thursday and friday) even if it means leaving my bf at home alone. haha.

    5. Make sure i go to the gym at least 2 times a week. Even if it means after zumba.

    6. Last of all drink a glass of water everytime i open the fridge. Sometimes i open it just to look haha.

    These are my goals :) and i hope i make them everyday or i will be very upset. Going to jog when i get back home.
    I will weigh in on mondays. Speak soon people. Sorry for the long post.
    Feel free to add me. Especially if your looking to loose around 80lbs altogether.

    I am in! I have struggled terribly this year to the point I have given up and just eating whenever and whatever. I have been tired and have lost belief in myself.

    SW: 214
    GW: 184

    1. Work out 5 days a week for at least 40 minutes.
    2. Be my own cheerleader. Rely on myself more instead of wanting others to motivate me...believe in myself.
    3.Eat 1400 calories a day, not a cheat DAY but a treat each week
    4. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz. glasses of water every day.
    5. Be gentle and kind to self instead of berating self.

    I'm excited to be a part of this group and help each other and watch everyone's successes! We CAN do this!

    Goal-200

    That's @1.5 pounds per week, buy we will see. I am new to this and just raised my calories a few days ago because I wasn't eating enough.
    Anyway, I will be doing high intensity strength training 3 days a week and HIIT once a week. I am doing the 15 minute workouts from Men's Fitness.
    Probably not going to make it. lol I have lost 2 pounds since this post, BUT I am losing inches and bodyfat %. I am definitely ok with that.

    *185-190ish. I want to lose 20ish pounds by near year. (165ish)

    Eating 1350 calories a day, and calorie zig-zagging some weeks. Lot's of protein to boost my slow metabolism! I am going to walk more and do at-home exercises.
    I am going to drink lots of water and set goals other than weight loss related; such as laughing everyday and getting up early!
