Now...bump this puppy up in your My Topics tab and remember to go back and weigh-in during the window. Some people bumped it last time and then didn't weigh in. (Sorry that you'll see your name in grey.)

This week's challenge will be posted soon! :bigsmile:

    THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Do the Math!

    Ok, this week is our first mini-goal. It is now time to DO THE MATH! How close are you to your mini-goal? Have you passed it? Is is too far away? Figure out how much weight you will have to lose this week or each day in order to make your goal. Decide what you are going to do to help reach your goal (cardio, calories, zig-zag cals, weights, etc.).

    THIS WEEK'S REFLECTION: Are you realistic?

    Think about you first mini-goal. Is it realistic? If you've already made it past you mini-goal, revise it to try and push yourself to do better (even if it is just 0.2 lbs). If you have a LONG way to go to meet your first mini-goal, revise it and make is something that you can actually acheive. Be honest with yourself and don't be afraid to revise your goal. If you do change your ultimate goal or mini-goal, just change it on your chart and include the word REVISED. :wink:


    ******

    Previous Weight (PW), Current Weight (CW), Mini-goal (MG). You can find out your "Daily loss needed" by doing the following:
    (CW - MG) divided by # of days till weigh-in = amt to lose per day
    example: (162-161) / 4 = 0.25


    EXAMPLE 1:
    Previous Weight 163.4
    CW 162
    Mini-goal 161
    Weigh-in in 4 days
    Daily loss needed: 0.25 lbs
    Realistic? YES
    How will I do it? Continue to workout 4 days a week.

    EXAMPLE 2:
    PW 295
    CW 291
    MG 289
    Weigh-in in 4 days
    Daily loss needed: 0.5 lbs
    Realistic? YES
    How will I do it? Continue to stay under calorie goal and exercise.

    EXAMPLE 3:
    PW 179.4
    CW 178.6
    MG 165
    Weigh-in in 5 days
    Daily loss needed: 2.72 lbs
    Realistic? NO
    How will I do it? I need to change my goal because I didn't lose as quickly as I thought I would. I'll do 45 mins of cardio 5 days a week.

    EXAMPLE 4:
    PW 151.3
    CW 150
    MG 152.5
    Weigh-in in 5 days
    Daily loss needed: +0.5 lbs
    Realistic? NO ---- You are past your goal. Consider challenging yourself more.
    How will I do it? I will revise my mini-goal and try to get to 149 instead. I'll continue to do what I have been (diet/exercise).

    How will I do it? Continue to workout 6 days a week and watch what foods I am eating. I'm going to REVISE my goal and change it from 131.2 to 130.8 lbs. So that would mean that I need to lose 0.15 lbs a day. I THINK that I can do that.

    wow vic. you amaze me with every chart/challenge :)

    great job everyone. i cannot believe i was the % loser for my group again this week!! i have already surpassed my first goal so i am going to revise it. it's hard to pick a new number since i am not doing anything different to lose the weight and i don't want to lose it any faster due to nursing and milk issues. i never know what the numbers will be, so i'm going to be conservative and just hopeful. no plan to do anything different to get there.

    Good morning All! For this week's challenge, I've decided to revise my mini goal. I'm already 2.5 lbs past it, so I've decided to push myself just a bit harder!

    PW 332.8
    CW 330.6
    MG 333
    Weigh-in in 3 days
    Daily loss needed: +0.8 lbs
    Realistic? NO! I am NOT going to gain 2.5 lbs this week!!! :-P
    How will I do it? I'm going to revise my mini goal. Nothing extreme. Just enough to keep me at it. NEW MG - 329.6. I'm going to continue to work out hard and I'm going to make sure I keep my sodium and calories in check.

    Here's my newly revised chart:
    Current Weight (As of today):
    Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 315
    Weight Category: REDUCE! 26lbs or more group
    6/9: **start of challenge**
    6/16: 340.2
    6/23: 336.4
    6/30: 332.8
    7/7: <<<mini goal weight REVISED 329.6>>>
    7/14:
    7/21:
    7/28:
    8/4: <<<mini goal weight 324>>>
    8/11:
    8/18:
    8/25:
    9/1: <<<challenge goal weight 315>>>

    Bump.

    3.2 pounds away from my mini goal. It is possible but I haven't lost that much in a week since I joined MFP in March. I haven't actually met any of my mini goals since starting the last challenge but I'm hoping that changes this time around.
