    I'm going to adjust my weight goals because I was talking to my friend and he thinks trying to lose 5% of my body weight each month is a bit much (and it felt daunting), so I'm going for a solid 7 pounds per month.

    Here's what my new goals will look like:

    Starting weight: 290
    Current weight: 286
    Challenge end goal weight: 248

    Feb. 21, 2013 goal: 276
    April 21, 2013 goal: 262
    Yana you can do anything you put your mind to.
    Your going to smash through the new targets and more!
    You got this hun whoop whoop!!

    Yana, our fearless leader, you can and will get to your goals. There is nothing wrong with making adjustments...I've done it before in other challenges. It's better to have realistic goals then to stress yourself out.

    Everyone is doing so well and a very big reason is because of your support!

    Hi! I'd like to join this group.

    Starting weight- 192
    Current Weight- 192

    My non-scale goals are:

    2. Eat at least one piece of fruit per day (currently is a problem for me)
    3. Don't beat myself up if I have an "off" day (also a problem)

    Turbo Jam sounds like a "no joke" workout. Thanks for your continued support.

    The scale is evil. Continue to focus on the changes in your body (inches,etc)

    We're going to get through this together.
  • Hey ladies,

    I had to push through a work out this morning, I planned to do my 5 K training, but my body was just not up to it, so I did some cardio excercises in stead, it's that TOM and I am just not wit it, Just gotta keep pushin through this week ! Pray for me !

    I am a month behind but, January was used to correct the wrongs of December. lol.

    SW: 305.0
    CW: 260.0
    GW: 230.0 (By June 21st)
    Ultimate goal: 193...then I can figure where I want to go from there.

    Non-scale victories I would like to experience before June 21, 2013
    1. To successfully complete a workout program (I have always start them then switch up to something else, so I don't know which one is providing what results)
    2. Workout 4-5 days a week
    3. To successfully end the weekend binges
    4. To get in a size 16 by the end of July! Currently size 18/20, comfortable 20...tight 18.


    Yesterday I started the 30DS...I will follow it throughout the month of Feb. If I add other workouts, that will be a plus, but I will definitely be doing this!
