    My calorie goal is to stay between 1200 - 1300 cals a day. Kinda depends on how many calories I burn that day too. I try to have between 400 and 500 of my workout calories uneaten every day.
    My H20 goal is 9 glasses of water a day.
    My calorie burn goal is 2400 calories a week min or 400 a day. I try to do a min of 30 mins six days a week. But I typically do way mor than that.
    I will be doing Jillian Michaels DVDs (ripped or shred) in the morning before work 5 days a week.
    And then work permiting I will hit the gym during lunch and do 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week.
    Weather permiting I like to try to go for family walks after dinner for at least 30 min if not 60 (depends on how fast the little ones eat and how hot it is as to how long of a walk we do).
    And then on Sat mornings run my 5K.

    Ok my goals for the six weeks are to do the elliptical three days a week and increase the time by one minute. Also stay in my calorie range 1200-1300. Swim twice a week and bike three times a week. I also want to add the treadmill to my workout.

    I am staying around the 1200 calorie mark, plus a bit from exercise. For exercise I am keeping a variety with a few different things...I am working with a personal trainer and 3 friends (one of which is also doing this challenge), P90x, Biggest Loser Wii game, and running (I'm doing a version of C25K, but I'm running a longer distance).

    I'm in! My name is Karen, I live in central Washington, and my co-worker just introduced me to MFP a week ago. I started out at 160 lbs, I'm 5'2", and my goal is weight is 125. I am finding that keeping to a caloric diet is very challenging, but MFP has really helped with that - it really makes me aware of what I'm eating. However, the exercise portion is where I struggle - mostly because I am experiencing a very stressful time in my life at the present and just can't seem to stay motivated. Anyone have a suggestion for how you stay motivated?? I'm hoping that this challenge will help. :smile: Anyway...looking forward to the challenge...and to maybe making some new friends along the journey. Thanks!

    My goal is to stay under 1500 cal. a day and get my butt up and moving at least 4 days a week. Zumba, jogging, swimming, whatever I feel like that day.

    So far I am down 1 pound!

    my calories will be around 1200-1300. I'm focusing on getting the fat OUT and protein IN. For exercise I will be walking, pushing my endurance on the stairs (I hear this is one of the best workouts you can get), swimming, weights for toning my upper body & thighs, and pilates
    I am planning on doing Jillian's 30 day shred for September and hopefully that will put me at optimal toning for my trip in October -
    Then the holidays .. New Years and so on ...

    SW 190 (for challenge) I do not have measurements at this time - I'll post those asap cause I really do want to track that for this challenge & for my 30DS

    My name is Paigge, and I want to join the challenge. I need more inspiration!! I'm having a hard time with my weight. I need to lose 40 pounds to join the army, and it seems like nothing is working at the moment. My starting weight was 195, but I am now 190.2. I need to lose inches, and I don't really have a plan about losing the weight, but it would be cool to join some people that can share ideas!!...Oh I need to get to 150/

    Come on guys lets get up and workout out!!! Lets not let the heat ware us down. We need to get our butts up and start moving. Who's with me? I know I have taken this chanllenge very seriously, not only for my self but as a committment to you all. That we can do this, we can lose those 10-15lbs by labor day..

    I understand it might be a chanllenge for most of us, but that's why this is a 6 weeks chanllenge. I can tell you that I have not lost 1lbs since early april; and that includes me going to the gym and eating healthy (well, i've had my falls.) But, Now I'm spending 3 hrs at the gym (that's 2hrs more than what i used too.) I have given up a part of my lunch hour to go to the gym, I am working out for 2 hrs after work and 2 hrs on saturday morning before my family wakes up. I am tracking all my intakes and inputting my calories burned.

    Comeon we can do this; even if it's 5lbs in this 6weeks challenge but that will be 5 lbs off our bodies!!! Let's not say tomorrow I will start, because for some, that tomorrow will never come and it will only be harder to lose the weight when your a few pounds heavier.

    You know what they say, if your in your 20's or older a 1hr workout a day, will only work to maintaine your current body weight. So that means we have to workout for more than an hr.

    Let's do this!!!
