Heya everyone!

Im in too! In fact I have a goal of 2-ish pounds a week, 30 pounds by Thanksgiving (85 days from now). Add me!

IM BACK IN!!! : ) And I cant wait this is going to be good Hard because of TOM but who knows i might get lucky

resolve for the month.... every single day in the morning I will get up when my son does at 7ish and clean up my living room and vaccuum before nap time and plug in my Wii and play the whole time the kids are sleeping. that should help with the weightloss.
Also I plan to finally get my staying up late under control im finding it easier and easier to get to bed by 11:30 at the latest so im going to shoot for 10:30 or 11:00 for the entire month and i will be tracking these goals on my calendar.
lol but on the days i work usually i have to leave by nine thirty so i will focous on laundry on those days. Hubby goes to school wednsdays so I have them off so i will be trying extra hard to be good wednesdays.

Havent lost five pounds even since joining the challenge in july which i started at 172.8 started aug at 169.6 and am starting sept at 170.0 so a net loss of 2.8 pounds since july first but at least its something wish me luck on beating that this month. : )

Yeah, I am right there with ya. I've lost 24 lbs since mid June, but now its gettin really sloooooow!. I need this extra motivation to reach my goal by end of year. We can do it!. Good luck ya'all.

HELL YEAH!! Count me in!! I lost 5.8 at my last weigh in but that was august 30th. I can do it again!! Woot woot!!

The August challenge did me well! I lost 10lbs :happy:

So lets try for it again in September. I am planning a huge birthday dinner so I want to go hard until that day. I plan to eat really well that day so will need some motivation before and after

Starting weight

Sept.1 - 147.5

Good Luck!

I'm in too! My birthday is this month so hopefully I can behave myself
SW:215
GW (for Sept) 210
LTGW: 140

I'm in too..lost 6lbs since I started in Mid August but have gotten too lax. I need to remeber the big picture. SW 180/CW 174/GW 140, before my 50th on Dec. 16th. With that said, i think I'll go walk 5 miles.

Me too please, but I am counting the pound I lost this morning Sept 1st, 5 pounds a month seems to be the most I lose and I am eager to get the next 5 off and get out of the 90's and farther away from the 200's. I will have to do lots of hiking while away camping. Do we have a weekly check in?

Wow, so many new members!!! :flowerforyou: Welcome all!! Weigh in is whatever day is best for you, this thread has no specific days or rules aside from the obvious forum rules We just support and motivate and share all kinds of stories :flowerforyou:

Before I get asked the next time it's posted, we have a 'BMK Challenge' that is posted every Monday, it's 2 exercise challenges and 1 food challenge. :happy: These are optional and are here for the extra boost if needed, they run Mon through Sun and this current weeks is :to start the Couch to 5k plan (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) or keep going with the week you are already on and if you have graduated, then pick any 3 days you want to do. Also, do 100reps (or more) of Torso Twists, there are many out there, so google them and pick whichever is best for you. As for food, try a Gluten Free recipe once this week. :drinker:

This is gonna be a fun and busy-ish month for me..I have this challenge (and BMK) as well as a lose 20 (Im shooting for 10-15)by Halloweeen, the Crunch and Plank (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/116270-crunch-n-plank) as well as 100push up challenge (I'm on week 4 but am doing girly ones :blushing: ), the Labor Day challenge and postcard challenge...YIKES! :noway: I never realized how many I am actually in!! Although Labor Day challenge ends this weekend and I only have 2 weeks of the push up challenge, but still!! LOL! :glasses: Anywho, I'm headed to start on my torso twists and the Crunch and Planks, no C25k today since it's raining, that just means it's time for a Leslie vid and some dancing Have a great day all!! Be back Friday with my weigh in :O)

Bru

I'm starting at 196.7!! Excited, especially when you say "20 lbs lighter by christmas!!!" Lets go girls!!

My goals for this month are....

1. Get back to C25K! I was supposed to get my sister's treadmill last weekend but my dad totaled his car and is now driving the truck around. Hopefully I can pin him down this weekend so I can use the truck.

2. Continue eating a clean diet but add in more dark leafy greens. I have been slacking on those the past week. I want to work them into my diet every single day.

3. Move more!! I will buy a pedometer.

4. Fit into my size 10 skinny jeans comfortably without having to do the jean squat

Good luck to everyone! Welcome to all the new people. You have stumbled upon a great group of motivators! I love this thread. Stick with us, and you will too! I am off to the park with my nephew now (moving more, here I go!)

so I have been doing 50 torso twists each day. feels good. I already run intervals so I am not doing the C25K part of the challenge. I am officially starting the month at 146 so 141 would be awesome but I am not sure I will get there. Good luck everyone.

count me in! I just started and its the beginning of Sept!

my ideal goal weight to eventually get to is 150, ive not seen that weight since probably 2003 So far ive lost 2.4 of the 5 already so more than that would be epic!
