    Not at all! Welcome! We are weighing in tomorrow! Our first weigh in was this past Monday.
    If you want, just state what you weighed on Monday, and then what you are tomorrow morning.

    I'd like to join the challenge.
    The 90 day mark is the same day that I would check into my new command. Right now, as I know, only one person knows me and she has seen me at my heaviest and my progress.

    I reached my first goal of 150 and maintained it for 3 months, then I decided that I wanted to lose 5 more. While I was working on the last 5, I had the fitness coordinator on base do a body fat analysis. There I learned that I had 26.7%, my new goal is to decrease my BF. From the test, it says that 139 should get me in the target BF range (21%). But I know the only way to lose that and still decrease my BF not my muscle mass I must continue my current gym routine (cardio and free weights) and eat a lot cleaner.

    That is where my challenge is.
    My work week here is Sunday through Thursday, so I always weigh in on Thursday. I'll just hold off to post my weight.

    Welcome to all of the new members of the challenge.

    So yesterday we had a potluck at work and I ate more than I could even imagine. I kept eating chips. I ate so many chips. Then I worked out and burned about 943 calories. But today I woke up totally sick, so I am not sure whats going on. I think I ate way to many chips for my healthy body so now I feel horrid.

    I can't eat, I don't want to eat, don't feel hunger. It's crazy. I just hope that once I can eat again, I don't over eat and gain.

    @TeeTee, welcome to the challenge and I think you will meet your body fat percentage. My goal is to get my body fat down. My ultimate goal is to be 18% or less. So we shall see what happens.

    It's a little late but I'd like to join your challenge as well. I'm supposed to weigh tomorrow so will use that as my starting weight?

    90 days is just a perfect benchmark as I seem to sabotage myself frequently. Anyway, thanks for great idea and motivation!

    Thanks I'm looking forward to being involved so I can stay focused and on track. I think I have the most weight to lose. I'm currently 260 ( my profile picture was taken this weekend) I would love to be 185 I look thin at that weight. so I know this will take a while but I have the faith that I can do this. I had a great shape and I want it back.

    I am there with you Shaqueta. I have had 4 kids (a set of twin 10 year olds, a 4 year old, and an 8 month old). I keep envisioning myself before I got pregnant with the 4 year old and that is the body I want back. I get upset when people tell me I can't do it and to let it go and it makes me become obsessive about it.

    Krazie4u247: If you haven’t ate chips or junk like that in a while, your body will definitely act negative to it. Two days ago there was a hotdog/burger sale and everyone kept telling me I could eat one, but I told them I haven’t had that in so long, I’d probably get sick. And I hate to say, but their cause was not worth me feeling miserable, so I only donated.

    Shaqueta and Crcc822001: Both of you have the right motivation. Determination. Determination to get back what you once had. No one can ever prevent you from achieving your goals but yourself. I believe that both of you can get to the goal that you’ve set for yourselves.

    My boxing coach switched my training date to tomorrow, so I am sitting on my couch wondering if I should go to the gym or not. Normally Friday’s are my day off and I’m really tempted to let it remain that way, because tomorrow I will go to step and then boxing in the afternoon. I will do some abs and push-ups tonight.
    Everyone, enjoy your Friday.

    My weight this morning was: 175. I began the challenge at 178. When I started my LTF 90 day Challenge on the 7th I was 181. So I am making progress. It's probably because I got sick but hopefully I can just eat clean for now on and keep the weight off.

    Unfortunately I weighed in today and there was no loss (no gain either). I think it is partly b/c I had limited access to the gym this week and didn't do anything at home either!

    Today I am changing my regimen, making it more intense. Not discouraged, but determined!

    WOW! :bigsmile: Congrats everyone on their scale successes this week! I will be weighing tomorrow since I'm on a personal challenge to myself to only weigh in every 10 days this month. So I'll report in then. Hopefully there will be a loss...I'm doing lots of carbs today because I am in a road race tomorrow. Should be an "easy" :laugh: one because this one is only 2 miles & on flat ground. The last one I did was 7 miles & nothing but hills! :noway:

    I forgot to post my weight with post. Yesterday I weighed in at 147.4.

    Weigh in at 211....Am soooooo glad I measured as I actually gained half a pound, but lost an inch off of my hips. Yay! Still, would love to be 20 lbs lighter in 90 days. That would get me past the nasty O word (Obese), and under 200.

    Another side benefit? My very overweight dog is looking great! lol

    Hai.

    I'd like to join yall in this challenge. I know I'm a bit late, but I'll catch up. Goal is to drop 19 pounds. Current weight at 194.

    Also, has anyone else experienced the calorie calculator to be waaay off for them? The calc suggest I eat 1600 cals/day to lose 2lbs/wk. Last month (July) I dropped 10 pounds (to get where I'm at now) eating what I would estimate to be 3500 calories per day. 2,700 scheduled daily with some snacks here and there and a pizza on Sunday that I estimate at 3500 cals. Yep. It's worth every one of those calories :)

    This month I've been fortunate enough to have a couple different parts of my family in town that I haven't seen in years, so exercise was one of the priorities that got pushed back. My weight has held steady the last few weeks without exercise, so possibly I'm just underestimating my exercise calories?

    Anyway, count me in. This weekend is Teh Big Suck and I won't be able to get any exercise in so you get another couple days head start. But after that.... I'm coming like a freight train. Hop on and let's go to goal! Alternately, you can stand in front and I'll push ya.

    Bai.

    Starting today, using yesterday (Friday's weight) 186. Trying to lose 1 pound a week, so 90 days would be 13 pounds. That would make me happy.

    King, I love your motivation, I'll be the caboose wrapping it up. As for you calories question, when I orignally started I think it had me on 1200 and I lost pretty well on that. Then when I changed it to maintenance, it was 1700, I found it so hard to eat that much. Now, I am trying to lose a little more weight so I am at 1500 a day. I normally get between 1200-1500 daily.

    Kintegra: Congrats on the completion of your race! I like how you are weighing in every 10 days. May I ask what made you do it like that?

    This morning, I ran a PT class, I burned 610 with them and that was not even doing everything they were doing. After I ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill and then worked my arms and abs. I feel great this morning and excited that my eating habits this weekend were not that bad and that I actually lost a little. I am not taking that for my weigh in because I will stick to weighing in on the same day, but I think I will use a Sunday morning weigh-in to see how bad my choices are and how they are affecting me.

    Everyone enjoy your Sunday, for me, I'm already in the office, halfway through with my day.
