in Challenges
Hey all! I have never created a challenge before so bear with me!

I wanted to do a personal challenge but would love others to join and we can keep each other on task!

I started getting serious about my weight loss at the end of September 2015 and I weighed 380 lbs. It has been a little under 5 months (144 days) and today I weighed in at 308.4 lbs! My goal for this challenge is to get under 300lbs by my 25th birthday, March 24th. Feel free to adjust dates to suite you :) I will be recording weights on Thursdays since that is what my bday falls on this year :)

Name: Ashley
SW: 308.4 (2/20)
GW: > 300 or 15lbs (3/24)

    I too used to be in the 300's and was ecstatic to get to the 200's. Now I'd like to ditch those too and get to the 100's. Been struggling for a couple years to get there. Weighed in at 220.9 today. Losing much more slowly now though so I'm not going to set a huge goal. I think I'll try for 215 for that timeframe - sounds reasonable for me and I'm not in any hurry. (I mean of course I'd like it all gone tomorrow but I plan on living the rest of my life this way so...)

    Great job getting as far as you have!! I cannot wait for the day the scale tells me I'm out of the 300s! I promise myself I wont go back lol after getting out of the 300s my goal is 280 because that is what I weighed my freshman year of college and then other mini goals along the way to help me stay on track :) ultimately I think I would be fine at 200 but once I'm there I probably wont stop lol it seems like such a long way to go but it's worth the effort!! We can do this!!!

    Welcome! Awesome goals! One-derland seems so far away sometimes but I love the way your goals are set to make it more manageable!
