I am doing some some challenges but need a long term one!

Seeing I am going to be in a wedding on the Satutday of Memorial Day I thought it might be a good long term goal!

I need something to get me really motivated..

So how is this...
We will weigh in starting Friday March 18th and go for 10 weeks.. The Friday of Memorial Day weekend!!
We will weight in on Fridays and whoever loses the most will create the Challenge fo the next week.
The Challenges will so Monday-Sunday giving the winner of the challenge a few days to post it..

So who is up for the Challegene and who is good and keeping/posting spreasheets on here?
Need your starting weight and what your goals are for the 10 weeks!

    I was able to stick with the water and calories, but I only got to work out 3 days.

    I didn't lose anything and am still where I was at.

    I finished last week at 234!! This week I'm tracking this week at 232.8.
    Having a pretty bad week this week. Life stress is really starting to take it's toll. Struggling to exercise and eat healthy when I'm just so tired.

    If I can just get out of 230's at this point I'll be estatic!

    Hoping people are staying on this!!! ????

    I'm down to 159.2 as of Friday morning. Found out yesterday my husband won a trip to FL beginning of June. OH Boy!!! I will have to be in a bathing suit VERY soon!! That is MOTIVATION to stay on track & hoping this "challenge" will too!!!

    WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!!!

    @KiWi- hope the stresses are going away!! Stay Strong:)

    Still pushing forward and feeling pretty good. Last week I was at 230 after gaining 2 lbs after two weeks of just blech. Now I'm back on track and can't wait to weigh in tomorow!

    Going to visit my husband in Pensecola so I'm extremely excited. Waiting to buy the killer bathing suit right before I go down.
