Fit for Fall Challenge - 6/20 - 9/05

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be where we post to start out the challenge. I don't even know exactly how to track these posts. I'm new to this stuff. anyhow my goals are in my "signature" and my NSV is to fit into my polka dot dress and my striped skirt by the time this challenge is over!

Checking for today

Hello All!!

I love this challenge and I definitely want to join. Here are my goals. . . .

CW (6/20)- 230.4 lbs
GW (9/05)- 210 lbs
NSV #1- Exercise 4 days a week for the duration of the challenge
NSV #2- Lose 2 dress sizes

My goals may be a bit overzealous, but hey, shoot for the moon and land among the stars, right?

Good luck everyone and have a great week!! :happy:

I am using my weigh in from last Tuesday as my current weight so I didn't have to break my rule for the last challenge and weigh in more than once a week. I am really excited about this challenge! Lets kick it off ladies, I love weighing in on Mondays, it will keep me well behaved on the weekends .

CW- 164.2
GW- 148 (by Sept 5)
NSV # 1- Stick to my weight training workouts(3 x per week) and continue cardio training
NSV # 2- Have started running again by Sept.
NSV # 3- Don't gain weight on my honeymoon in August. Don't have to lose just don't gain is the goal.

I am being ambitious too but so far that worked for me the last challenge. Super excited to see everyone's results at the end of this one!

This will be my first challenge and I am excited to join.

NSV: Be back into my blue jeans! Can't wear a single pair of them comfortably and refuse to buy anymore!

I would love to join in, great motivation when you know so many people are trying to achieve the same goal for themselves!!

___ my current weight is 143.5 and I would like to get to 128 by September 5 . If the weather keeps up that should not be so hard cause there's plenty of physical exercise to do in the summer !

Can I still join? I am currently 25 and my CW is 137. My pre-pregnancy weight was 136 (have a beautiful 4 month old son). Also, my high school weight was 138. I am aiming to weigh less than I have my entire adult life, but believe I can do it.
Goals for 09/05
1. Weigh 132
2. Be running 3+ miles 3 times a week
3. Be a skinny size 7 jeans, or maybe even squeeze into a 5
4. Be stronger overall

This is my first challenge! I'll give it a go!

CW: 250.4
GW: 230.0

NSV: workout 5 days a week
NSV: stay on track and log calories honestly.

Oh I forgot to list one of my goals....I'd really like to get the courage to go to some of the classes offered at my gym. I'm really intimidated by them but i need to just bite the bullet and go :ohwell:

You can do it--remember--there was a 1st time for everyone in there, most people don't care how well (or not so much) other people are doing (they're too busy trying to keep up!) and I bet you'll surprise yourself with how well you'll do! Go, go, go!!!!
Then let us know how it went!

Day 1 SW 155 (I won't be weighing in each week and the numbers--whatever they are --seem to trigger binges)

This week's NSV #1- Meet the water challenge (the weights I already do)
#2-NO EATING BETWEEN 9PM AND 6AM
#3-Stay current with this challenge group

Long Term NSV #1-Weigh in on the last day--goal (hope, wish, dream, desire) 148--If I could break past the 150's I would be delirious!!!
#2-Complete this challenge (which will be more of an accomplishment than losing weight)

I know I can do this--I know we can all do this!!!

A little advice I got from my brother (who has never needed to diet a day in his life but was an exercise science major and a phyiscal trainer) that I thought was wonderful advice about dieting and was really suprised I hadn't heard it before. He wrote me a lifting regiment for six weeks but the dieting plan attached said something along the lines of making sure you eat a well balanced, healthy diet to feed your exercise and recharge your body BUT the good advice was that no more than 10% of your meals should be cheat meals. I like this idea because that way you don't blow it all in one day and can make up for your "cheat" with the rest of your day or throughout the week. If you stick to a 1400 calorie diet most days but then consume 3000 calories one day it is likely you will have blown your entire week but if you spread out the cheating it teaches both moderation and lifestyle change and allows you to not feel deprived more frequently than hoarding it all up for that one day a week and then having to deal with the guilt later. Just a though, I loved the idea. It is sort of what i do anyway, I almost always have a little something sweet be it one 16 calorie cadbury mini egg or two double stuff oreos or a skinny cow ice cream bar but I purposely save calories so I can do that and it helps me not over indulge with everything else.
