I would love to be involved in this challenge! Love it!
My starting weight as of this morning is 349.3 (another decade gone! hallelujah!!) and my goal by Memorial Day is to be at 310 or less.. I would really love to see a total of 20% gone which would put me at 301.6.. ohhhh yeah! Since I switched from South Beach to the primal lifestyle, the fat has been literally melting away.. was seeing a 1.7 lb a week loss on South Beach and 6.3 lbs in one week going primal! Life-changing for sure! If I continue to lose at that rate, I would lose 81.9 lbs by Memorial Day! haha I am not thinking this pace will continue of course, so that's why I chose a lower goal of a little over 3 lbs a week.. my birthday, anniversary and hubby's birthday all fall in this challenge time!
I love the mini-challenge this week as well. It's so important to start the forgiveness process with yourself first.. such a good place to start!0 -

Welcome HappySugarFree, smithntuck, BethieRose, GeniePooh!!!
@bethierose - so true about the importance of forgiveness. The self-loathing only leads to more out of control eating.0 -

Good Morning!
I had already started off with the negative thoughts about exercising. But I made a conscious effort to make a mental U-Turn. I made myself put on my exercise gear so that when I get back from taking the boys to school I will be dressed and ready.0 -

Me too girl! I so did not want to get up this morning. It is cold and rainy here and I just wanted to curl up and roll over BUT I rolled my butt out of bed instead and I feel much better! Woot woot great start to a dreary day!!0 -

Welcome msandwich!
I am heading into my mid-afternoon slump. I could just sleep! I can't wait for Spring...I need to warm weather to perk up. New England weather is not for everyone (me included). The blizzard brought 3 feet of snow, it's been 3 weeks and I still have 1 1/2 feet in my yard. Those who just got hit twice...I bow to you!0 -
I am SO not wanting to do my cardio today (well, tonight). But I am going to push through, and as soon as my hubs leaves for work, the Wii is going on! I will get back into the habit of working out!0

@msandwich - I saw your ticker and had not heard of DDP Yoga so I decided to Google it. First of all. I was so surprised to see DIamond Dallas Page - I was a fan of his from back in the days of WWF. 15 minutes after reviewing the site I ordered it. and joined the teamddpyoga.com forum. It's quite possible that in a few weeks I shall either be singing your praises or cursing you :laugh:
I did not take measurements yet but I did take a photo. For Father's Day I am taking my husband to a Red Sox/Rangers Game. I picked up a ladies Red Sox T...2 sizes too small - with my goal to get into that shirt by Father's Day. I put it on yesterday (looked like a sausage) and took photos.0 -

Girl don't be yikes-ing! You've lost 37 pounds. DId you take your measurements before you lost the 37? If you did (and everyone else that has), post side-by-bide your pre-wightloss measurements and current. For 2 reasons....to reinforce that what you are doing is giving you resultss and to give those that are new to weightloss/LC inspiration. It may be slow, but it is progress!!!
Here are my measurements:
Pre- 24 Pound Weightloss vs Current for the Challenge
Chest: 48.5/44.5
Waist: 42.5/40
Hips: 46/43
FOrearm 11/10.75
Bicep: 14.25/12.5
Thigh: 28/26
Calf:18.5/17.750 -
