Hey!

I'm starting a 9 week weight loss challenge.

30DS, 1 hr cardio, and 2 days a week the p90x yoga.

Looking for a buddy, you don't have to do what im doing but we can all motivate each other until June 14th!

    I challenge you!

    I do the Shred occasionally, elliptical, weights, zumba, and walking.

    What are your weight loss goals?

    I am currently 166 and would like to be 140. My partner is away for 9 weeks so I thought it would keep me busy and healthy to start exercises and eating right !

    26 lbs? OK - My ultimate goal is 38 more lbs, but I would settle for 26 (or anything, haha). That would be a sweet surprise for your sweetie. It's a lot for a 9 week challenge though. I think the cardio will be key. What are your food goals?

    Day 1 - what have you done?

    I did JM's DVD: Burn Fat Boost Metabolism (BFBM), and wanted to turn it off on the 5th of the 6th circuits, but I made it all the way through. Tomorrow will be an "arms" day for sure. My eating was decent cause I was out most of the day, so boredom eating didn't find me.

    Charlyef... Great goal! You can definitely do it! What will you be doing activity- and food-wise to make it there?

    So, I figured it out, and assuming we "started" yesterday, June 15th will be the end of this challenge.

    I'll join you gals. Always looking for ways to stay motivated. I am currently 186, my ultimate goal is 150 so 36lbs more for me. I try to walk everyday and I also have several Biggest Loser DVDs that I rotate through.

    Today I walked for 35 minutes, and did 50 mins of the weight loss Yoga DVD.

    Hi meghan, princess, and channy.

    I'm still trying to eat better. Yesterday I was out ALL DAY so I didn't get to workout like I wanted to. I have a project due Saturday night that I have barely started, so I can't see much working out tonight. Once it's out of the way, I know I will have less on my mind, less procrastination, and can workout consistently again. Aiming to at least lift some weights tonight.

    Tomorrow we will be 1 week into the challenge. I encourage everyone to check in! I feel like I've been doing really good the past 2 days - today will make it 3 in a row! Have a great day everyone!

    I would love to join in! I'm currently weighing in at 187 lbs, my ultimate goal is 160 (at least for now).... for the 9 weeks I would like to lose around 15 lbs. I'm needing some extra motivation to keep me going as my weight loss has been slow, even the weeks I'm really "good", and this sounds like the ticket!

    Today is check-in day (or at least sometime this week... I check in on Tuesdays), and welcome to week 2! How are things going with everyone?

    Hi momlalie and kodakmemories!

    Here are the stats for last week:

    When you update your weight, I will update the chart, and post a new one sometime mid-week. I will also work on making it the right size, and add new people.

    I would love to join your weight loss challenge. I was looking for one of these for awhile. I've been trying to start a diet and exercise since January, but I finally started with my husband last week. So this will be great for me a little support goes a long way. Good for you for starting a weight loss challenge on you own , Kudos to you! I'm 5'-4" and I weigh 155lbs ,my goal is to be 120. We'll see how that works. I don't know how much I'll lose in the 9 weeks but I'm giving myself until the end of July to reach my goal. So good luck to you!

    I would love to join! I'm currently doing the 30 Day Shred (day 4) with 3-4 days of cardio mixed in and some randomly added strength training. I could always use more support, and would love to give you support. Anyone can add me if they feel they want to. :)

    I have been doing the elliptical, walking and the treadmill 5 or 6 times a week for approximately 25 miles/week
    Now I need to stay under calories and I feel I will make some progress.
