I am in! Weighed 176 at last weigh in, so my goal is 166 by Sept. 1!
Looking forward to doing it with a great group of "losers"!
Good luck everyone!
Started off the day with a 15 min bike ride and some crunches. Now to eat some healthy food...0 -
Start weight 142. BTW - I need more friends!0

Hi Elbee1!
Well, we're not going to do anything too complicated.
The end of Week 1 will be next Thursday, so we can post our hopeful loss (remember, just 2 pounds a week...or more if you are lucky).
I'll just keep on using this forum instead of making a new one each week - and I'm going to check back when time permits to see how everyone is doing during the week incase more posts are added besides the weekly check in just for a little bit more encouragement for everyone.
So, if I make random comments here and there - it is just to provide a pat on the back for everyone's hard work and determination!

I started out the day doing well yesterday. Even smuggled my own 94% fat free popcorn into the movies...
But, sadly ended the day with a small milkshake and a stop at McDonald's...
More calories than I intended, needless to say.
But, today is a new day and I am planning my food so I won't make that mistake again. Also going to get some extra exercise in today. Have a great Sunday, everyone!0 -
HidyleDidyle -- Well, I did have the apple as you suggested, but didn't get all the water in. Well, I'm relieved to hear that this challenge will not get too complicated. I can't do the challenges that are very specific right now... like the ones that say to do a certain number of push-ups, etc. I am recovering from a herniated disc.
Mommy2boysaz -- I did similar to you, yesterday. I did great until the evening... had too much granola. :ohwell:
Today, I am more determined!
Good luck to everyone else!0 -
Hope everyone is having a good weekend - our week is almost half over - keep on going!0

Did a weigh in today (naughty, I know...) and am already down 2lbs! Awesome! Massive props I think, to 30DS for it...0

Super job littleali! That's great! ONE MORE DAY! Go strong tomorrow and I'll check back with you all on Thursday! Gotta burn off some 6 year old birthday party fun!0

Well, it is our 10 By September 1st Challenge weigh in for the end of week 1! How did you do? Drop those 2 pounds? I hope you all had a great week and I look forward to a new one!
Remember, 2 pounds is all you have to lose each week - we can do this!
I'm happy to report I'm down 2 pounds! I hope you are in the same boat! If you didn't quite make it - s'okay!!!! You can do it this next week.
- END OF WEEK 1!!! 0 -
I'm in....Aug 1 weight 145.0 (goal weight 128.0)
Ladies, it's 80% what goes in your mouth....20% what you burn....watch what you eat and move a little!
LET'S GO!!!!!!!0 -
I'm going in the wrong direction, but will do better this week.
Gained 6 tenths of a pound. 150.6 lbs.0 -
Is it too late for me to join!?!? I actually am down 2 from last week so I could consider that an accomplished week! Although today I stepped on the scale and the 2 were back. :noway: Hate when that happens. And that's my M.O. - down 1 or 2, up 1 or 2, down, up - SO hopefully this will motivate me to go in 1 southern direction. :happy:
SW - 158
CW - 156 (although I really was 158 this morning but have been pounding the water!!)
GW - 140, but 148 by Sept 1st!!0 -
My start weight was 142. I'm 140.8 this morning.0

I had family in town but I did lose one pound!! Wooohooooo! I'm gonna keep on truckin!0

I like everyone's enthusiasm! Great work! Keep at it! We can ALL do this - one day at a time! And just keep on thinking, "2 little pounds, 2 little pounds...."
:happy:0 -
Still the same weight. No weight loss this week.

Happy to report today:

CW: 210.4 Absolutely amazing and I love to brag on myself as I surprise me all the time. Go me.0 -
I've lost 5 lbs since Monday! Wahoo! I thought yesterday was a bad day, but I guess my body needed some added fuel.
Eat "clean" through the weekend ladies, you can do it!!!0 -
Congrats Luckyme! What a loss!
Okay 10 lbs by September friends - four days till weigh in! 2 lbs - we can do it!
0 -
I lost you guys for a while there! Couldn't find this topic for anything! LOL!
I will weigh in Monday. Haven't done as well as I should with eating but have been getting much more exercise. I will add the diet component and hope for the best! Hope you are all well!0 -
We can do it mommy2boysaz!
So, it is the end of WEEK TWO today! I'm sorry to say that my scale had the biscuit a few days ago, but I will weigh myself at the gym tonight. My guess is that my 2 pound goal wasn't met this week - but I'm NOT GIVING UP!!!
How are you all doing? Week Three starts tomorrow!!0 -
SW: 214

1 pound loss this week which is awesome after last week 3.6 pound loss. Thought I would not lose any or even go up a little. Total of 4.6 so far in 2 weeks.0 -
Way to go pa2b32! That is a loss two weeks in a row for you! Woo hoo!0
-
Weighed in and lost .6 pounds. 150 pounds now. Glad that I finally had a loss instead of a gain. Even if it is not much...0
-
Every bit counts Elbee1! Way to go!!0

Thank you! Hard to keep the main goal in sight when we want the temporary one met.
Like to feel better from being stressed. I am going to try extra hard this week... to keep the most important goals in front of me, somehow.
I wrote out a list of all the reasons that I want to lose weight. Wow! There's an awful lot of them!
Here's most of the list that I made:
DON'T eat that fast food or whatever other tasty treat! -- because of:
my Borderline (maybe high) high blood pressure,
will help my back to get the weight off (herniated disc), if I don't eat it.,
wanting to fit in my clothes comfortably and wear whatever clothes that I want & go shopping for clothes that I LIKE.,
embarrassing to look this overweight,
wanting to feel good, have energy, be stronger, and able to do more.
wanting to run, swim, play racquetball, go hiking, do aerobics, do Zumba, go horsebackriding, cardiokickboxing, etc.
wanting to sit in airplane seat without really majorly loosening of the seatbelt (used to tighten it every time)
wanting to wear a swimsuit0 -
Count me in!!!!!0
-
I didn't lose any weight this week. : ( I'm finding it a challenge eating out while trying to lose weight. I should up my exercise too since I'm sitting down in teacher trainings all day.0
