    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!

    Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 2ish
    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.

    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.

    So this week's check-in...
    Current weight: 126
    Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 4
    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 :s

    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!

    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! :o)

    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*.

    Sorry everyone :( I can't weigh in this week, I don't have access to a scale!!! Next week for sure
  • 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!

    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.

    Current weight: 146.3
    Pounds lost since the start of our challenge: 2.7

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Question of the week: How did you determine your goal weight? I wanted to be comfortably out of the BMI overweight catagory

    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 :)

    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!!

    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!
