Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer?
I keep changing my mind on my goal weight, I'm trying to go by how my clothes fit and I'm a solid 6/8, but with another 10-15lbs to go I really feel like I could end up being a size 4. Which just blows my mind! As a 33yrs old mom of two I'm counting on being in the best shape of my life THIS year!0 -

Question of the week:
How did you determine your goal weight? I set my original goal weight at the weight I was when I got married. But I quickly determined, after reaching that goal, that I hadn't given myself enough credit...I could do more!
Will you make your goal weight this summer? Done.
Gosh, I think I missed last week's check-in! OOPS!! Guess what!?! I WORE my bikini to the pool on Friday!!! WOOT for me! LOL I won't say I looked good, 'cause I still want that six-pack, but I felt comfortable in my own skin and what more can a girl really ask for. 0 -

I'm right there with ya! I'm a 35 year old mom of 3 and I'm in THE best shape of my entire life. If I can do this anyone can! I am wearing a 6 right now, and I have never ever worn that size....the smallest I remember being (even in high school when I wasn't "large") was a 7/8. Crazy good stuff.0 -

Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Picked one that was a round number, nicely within a healthy BMI and that I know I look good at.
Will you make your goal weight this summer? I should get my final weight of 115 by September 1, just about... I am hoping to lose at least 1lb per week which would get me there with 10 days to spare. Realistically it might take longer, I didn't factor in a last-minute working trip to Trinidad for 3 weeks with no access to calorie counts or exercise equipment

Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: Pounds lost since my start weight is 1. But I actually put on two pounds in the middle there (ek!), so have lost 3 :P
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? My goal weight is what I call my "happy" weight. I used to weigh this much and when I get there I always feel confident and happy with how I look and I know I don't want to go any lower!
Will you make your goal weight this summer? YES! I'm hoping to make it inside the next month!0 -
So this week's check-in...
Current weight: 144
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: between 2 and 4
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? I am determining my goal weight by the way my clothes fit! I am in all 6's and 8's!!(depending on the store!) Woo hoo! some are even falling off! After i had my daughter, I made it down to all all time low for me of 128-130..I was too skinny (even though I didn't think so at the time!) my face looked weird and my skin was even a bit rashey! I couldn't maintain it and felt bad when I gained some weight back (to a healthy weight for my height 140) so though i am tempted to make it lower, I am sticking with 140! that will make me a solid size 6! and at 5'7.5 that is pretty good!
Will you make your goal weight this summer? Yep! :oD my goal is most importantly MAINTANANCE!!! they say losing is the easy part..(which scares me, cuz losing isn't easy!!) I want to make sure I can stay at a healthy weight and gain more strength and confidence and enjoy life to the fullest with my family!

Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer?
I have mini-goal weights, the first of which I met last week when I got down to 155. My 8wk Bikini by July goal weight was 150, and I'm now feeling confident that I can meet that. I'd LOVE to lose more than that, though. I'm 3.5lbs off and I certainly don't feel ready to be seen in a bikini.
Goal #3 is 145, and goal #4 is 140. I think I'll be able to get to 145 by the end of the summer. Hopefully!
For this week: I've just finished day 6 of the 30 Day Shred, so I'll be continuing with that and switching to level 2 mid-week. I'll continue biking to work every day and doing hot yoga 4 or 5 times a week (it's hard to go when it's so beautiful outside!).
Only THREE WEEKS LEFT! EEEEEKKK!!! That's a huge kick in my *kitten*.0 -
Wow an 8 pound loss so far is awesome!0

Sorry everyone
I can't weigh in this week, I don't have access to a scale!!! Next week for sure 0 -
Current weight: 151
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 5.5 - no change from last week so time to kick it into high gear!
How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer? My goal weight is based on slow steady post pregnancy weight loss. This first goal weight (140lb) is a weight I want to reach and maintain for a while before I decide whether to shoot for more. 140 by the end of the summer!0 -

Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer? My goal weight is the one that I weighed at most of my life, and I usually just feel good and healthy at that weight. I think I'll make it this summer, close if not all the way there.0 -

Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? I don't exactly have a "goal weight". I've lost 65lbs since I had my baby in July so I'm super happy with my weight currently.....BUT I'd love to be 135 eventually. First, I'm aiming for 140.
Will you make your goal weight this summer? I'm gonna try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Current weight: 159.8 (1 lb gain)
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 4.5
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? I wanted to be comfortably out of the BMI overweight catagory
Will you make your goal weight this summer? Maybe, but definitely by October ! I have 29.2 lbs to go to hit MFP goal!0 -
Weight: 123.5
Pounds lost since the start: 3.5
I have seriously plateaued and this makes me sad. I ate GREAT last week. Time to SERIOUSLY start hitting the gym this week and break this plateau!
How did you determine your goal weight? For the challenge? I just wanted something realistic, so I took the average 1 pound lost a week and applied it. My goal weight was 119-121, or a 6 to 9 pound loss.
I have lost almost two inches around my waist since the start, but that's plateauing too. So hopefully some time at the gym this week can get both the scale and the tape measure moving even just the tiniest bit.
Will you make your goal weight this summer? My goal is to make my goal weight by September 0 -

1.I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IS SAFE FOR ME AND MY BODY
2.I HOPE I WILL MEET MY GOAL WEIGHT THIS SUMMER!!! PRAYING FOR THE STRENGTH TO WORK OUT EVERYDAY WITHOUT FAIL AND KEEP MY MOTIVATION UP!0 -
I will be checking in tomorrow. I'm hoping to see some movement on the scale. I cheated and looked this morning and it wasn't good. I've been getting my workouts in... just not seeing the lbs drop. I may skip the scale next week and check in with my inches lost.
Great work to all the "losers" out there! I'm sure you're going to look in those bikinis! Woo hoo!!0 -
Current weight: 124.5
Pounds lost: .5 (FINALLY!)
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer?
1) I picked a number that I really, really, really wanted to be at...but guess what?
2) I really don't think that's going to happen. And honestly, I'm okay with that. I'm out on the boat sportin' that bikini every weekend and I feel great. I'm still working on toning up and that's probably what I should have focused on in the first place. Now that I have that straightened out...if only I could put down the wine!0 -

Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer? Before I got pregnant with either of my kids I was underweight. I am 5'3" and weighed 98-100 pounds...I definitely don't want to be that small again but I would like to be close but still healthy. 104.? is the lowest I can go healthily. 110 is where I would like to be and wouldn't mind going as low as 105 as long as I don't look like skin and bones...I want to look very fit with muscles but not body builder muscles. I am the healthiest I have ever been and I am 10 pounds from my goal and feeling awesome! I weighed 185 after I had my second child and this is the lowest I have been in over 3 years. I will make my goal and hoping to make it before August. I do know that I have made it this far and I am NOT giving up or ever letting myself go again.0 -
Current weight: 165.8

Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer?
I picked a number that is my goal weight. There is no way I will reach that number by July 4th but it's always in my mind so I won't stop striving for it. My end goal is 150 lbs. I don't know if it's reasonable because I don't remember the last time I was that weight. I'm more focused on how I look (at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself!).
I'm kicking butt at JM's 30 Day Slim Down plan. Today is Day 10. I just need to get a routine established and stick to it. I also need to quit eating so much sugar. One at a time though 0 -
So this week's check-in...
Current weight: 171
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge:a little more than 2 i think
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer?
I determine my goal weight by what I know I can actually achieve and have been at that weight previously this time Im going to try and lose about 10more pounds than that if I feel like it will make me more comfortable in my own skin. I don't think I will be my goal weight this summer but I hoping by my anniversary in Jan I will be there.0 -
Current weight: 159
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: i can't remember my original weight... i think this would make it 3lbs... but i had a gain of .2 from last week
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? Will you make your goal weight this summer? I did a biggest loser challenge at my gym and lost 13 lbs in 8 weeks... so i set my goal at 13lbs for this challenge... i won't make it (9lbs in 3ish weeks??) but i am ok with that!! I had a few set backs but what i've gained from those set backs will help me with the rest of the weight.0 -
Current weight: 141
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 8lbs!
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? I once was 118 and felt completely comfortable in my skin, so i fugured 120 was a nice round number. Will you make your goal weight this summer? Yes, propbably more towards the end of the summer though.0 -
Bumping for Friday when I weigh in. I'm hoping for a .5 loss. We shall see. Have a nice week.0
-
Current weight: 180
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 6lbs!
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? I was 180 two and a half years ago and like what I saw... well except for the belly!? So I took that weight and subtracted 10 more pounds. That got me to 170 and I am happy with that no really I am) But then I thought about the BMI stuff and to be "over weight" that is 169.9 for me. So I figured I should just go to 165 and make sure I am "overweight". I know that the BMI is not too accurate but I figure it can't hurt. I just know that I was 145 at the age of 20 and I was too skinny in my eyes so I won't go there again.
My workout schedulethis week?
Sunday: Warrior Dash!!!! Plus a 1.8 mile walk to and from the event.
Monday: C25K and swimming 20 mins
Tuesday: rest day
Wednesday: C25K and weights
Thursday: Fat burn on the treadmill and mowing the yard (hopefully)
Friday: C25K and weights or swimming
Saturday:1.5 hour of Ashtanga Yoga (never tried it before
)
**I take my two breaks at work and walk a half mile in 10 minutes, so that is an additional workout each day0 -
Happy Thursday everyone! Today is going to be a great calorie burning day! What's everyone doing today?
I'm going to run for minutes and do Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. It's not my favorite but it's on the darn schedule. Gotta stick to it!0 -
So this week's check-in...
Current weight: 167
Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 3 [ Didn't lose any this past week and gained a 1/2 pd =( Tho last week when I weighed the scale was bouncing between 167 & 166.5 so of course I went with the lower #. So really I don't consider myself to have gained. ]
Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? My first goal weight is the weight I was before having kids. I remember liking the size I was. The ultimate goal weight is where I was at in college. So I know for sure I'd like to be somewhere in between the two.
Will you make your goal weight this summer? I definitely plan to make my first goal this summer. I've got to kick it up a notch. Want to for sure be there by my bday. 7/31!0 -
