Your goal weight puts you at a BMI which is considered underweight. You may want to re-evaluate your weight loss goals! 122 for your height is not only a healthy BMI but is considered an ideal one.0

Im In!!! I need a few more pounds off my belly.
Height 5'10"
Start weight 210lbs
Current weight 185lbs
goal weight 160 lbs
This is a great goal. I wont have to kill myself trying to lose all my weight at one time... -12lbs will put me at 173lbs. We will have to lose 2lbs a week. It might be tough. I have seem to have hit a block. I have not lost or gained for the last three weeks. Maybe this will drive me forward?
We can start to Run:happy: Josh Oly0 -
yeah, Jessie, that's too low!! You're doing great as you are!0

I think it is not all based on the bmi!!!! It really depends on your frame..... Nothing wrong with tone.. Just don't get to skinny people don't like the bones.

I'm in! :happy: This will help me get a little more motivated. :glasses:
Currents Stats:

Weight: 143
Goal: 130-1330 -
Thanks for all your support - I should have explained myself a bit more
I am a professional cheerleader, so 107 isn't that low for me, it's pretty much ideal. I have gained 12 pounds over the past 9 months and I'm looking for a healthy alternative, sans my teammates who resort to anorexia/bulimia.
I plan on keeping my calories at 1,200, and exercising at the gym (my gym has great les mills programs)
Tonight I plan on attending an hour long step, hour long body pump, and hour long yoga class. I figure I'm getting my cardio, my strength training, and my stretch.
I know 107 seems outrageous to some, but please understand where I'm coming from, I don't plan on dropping lower than 107..I'd actually be happy at 110, but 107 is my goal as that was my lowest a year ago..
Thanks again, and if anyone else is willing to jump on board w/ this Sept 1st challenge..I think it'd be great if we posted our food intake and exercise log every night..how does that sound?0 -
Thats a great Idea. I have been having a little trouble with the late night snack! That might get me to stop with that.. Im also going to try to workout during my lunches. Im do busy to do it when I get home. By the time the kid go to bed its 930pm.0
-
I'm in!! We can do it!!! Is there a way to create a group on this site, so we can all check in weekly? Also, I am all about rewards...I go buy myself a new outfit when I reach a goal! What do all of you do?:flowerforyou:
Current weight: 177.5
Height: 5'6
Goal for September: 162.5 (15lbs to lose)0 -
I'd love to join you but I realistically know that I can't do 2lbs a week from now until September. (Husband's birthday, daughter's 3rd birthday and a family vacation all in that time frame.)
Wanted to post and wish you good luck on your goal!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm in I need a challenge....BAD food weekend - just started this and need some help!

My stats:
ht: 5'2
cw: 126
gw: 115 or lower!0 -
SO, how would we like to go about doing this? Should we each reply by 10:30, daily, weekly, and include our intake of food and exercise? Any thoughts?
I think we'll be able to do this with each others support! I'm excited to meet a new group of friends with the same goals as me! :happy: Good luck everyone!0 -
I've always heard weighing once a week is the best b/c of water weight etc. and discouragement - is that true? I started last Thursday on this site and haven't weighed - was going to wait until Thursday - any thoughts? Next week will really be a test since I'll be on vaca but I'll actually get more exercise instead of sitting @ my work desk!0
-
I say daily!!! Or I might lose my goal for the week. Some weekends might be missed because I go up North. No computers up there. We can give a total Intake cals and Cals Burned. I also have a bet with myself NO FAST FOOD...... I been doing this since April... I dont even eat the salads from these places. I just stay away...

We can weigh in every monday or wait every two weeks!0
-
I think logging in what we did for the day is good. I agree with Gbryans about a weigh in once a week! Every monday?0
-
Monday sounds good! So we all have one week...GO! Good Luck everyone! I think we Should just start a new post each day to log everything. They could be something like"Sept. Weight Loss Group:Week 1" ect. The first person on should post it and then everyone else can reply. That way we don't get lost in all the posts of the day.:flowerforyou:0

UM, 2 lbs a week is NOT healthy at your current weight. It's not even close in fact, I would be shocked if you could lose 2 lbs a week and still maintain a healthy diet at your current weight and height! For someone with a BMI of (gulp) 20 currently, anything over 1/2 lb per week is execessive and possibly dangerous if continued for an extended period. Considering this was posted on a public forum, I guess I feel compelled to let you know that that isn't really what this site is all about! Challenges are fine if done with an eye towards health, I don't really know what the purpose of this is, but it's not really healthy. I hope you take this in the light it's given, and that is, to inform and hopefully give a pearl of wisdom that comes from experience.0 -
