Hey guys, I find this group, although small to be extremely supportive, and positive.

What do you think of a challenge? Where we set three goals for the 31st. No winners, no losers just personal responsibility.
Can be weight, can be percentage, can be number of days working out, number of pushups?? What do you guys think?

    I'll be having a surgery on Monday, so I won't be able to workout much during May. That said, I'm open to challenge myself in other regards.

    Sounds good to me. I had set myself a goal to reach 195 but June 7, but why not try to get there for May 31? I've also done 90% of my weight loss to this point by cutting calories. It's time to get moving. At least 3 x weekly...

    (1) Drop another ~8 lbs to 195
    (2) 3x/week cardio (2 - 2 1/2 mile walks)
    (3) 3x/week weights (Strong Lifts?)

    I'm in CJ.

    I've got one big-*kitten* (pun intended) goal - I want to get out of the 300 lb club. I'll have to drop 7 more lbs for a total of 32 lost since Feb 1.

    Sounds like a plan...we'll have to come back 5/31, copy our goals and see how we did.

    1. Down to 215...
    2. Start strength training 3x week
    3. Continue the daily 30-40 minutes of cardio
    4. Behave myself in Vegas

    I like this. I need to weight myself. Though I am not so worried about weight but more about my circumference.

    Well, let's see how we did...
    (1) Drop another ~8 lbs to 195
    (2) 3x/week cardio (2 - 2 1/2 mile walks)
    (3) 3x/week weights (Strong Lifts?)

    I wasn't allowed to lift weights this month due to having minor surgery to have a cyst removed from my upper arm. (Thus the reason for the bandana on my arm while at the pool on Memorial Day weekend.) However, mission accomplished on the cardio! I probably averaged 3.5 per week and 2.5 miles each walk.

    As far as the weight goal, I did not lose the 8 lbs to 195. However, I did drop 5 lbs, down to 198. I had been on a frustrating plateau and may have finally busted through it. So, while I may not have met all my goals, I'll take it as a WIN.... For the month of May, I'm down five pounds and feeling good! :drinker:

    My challenge was : Lose an additional 10 lbs (217 lbs).
    Recover from surgery and get back into the gym (4 weeks after, despite the doctor telling me it will take six).

    I didn't make it into the gym, but did manage to do some pretty tough and long hikes on a mountain trail. I'm headed to the gym to lift tonight. My weight on Sunday (I arrived back in the States the night before) was 217.2. I'll accept the round down.
