    Am I too late for this challenge? I would love to lose 10 lbs by labor day! I'm currently at 138 and my goal is about 125. I haven't seen that number on the scale since I was 21. I have a dream! I started out on MFP about a month ago at 144, so I think this will be nice to help me keep my momentum going. I have a size 6 bridesmaids dress to fit into in October. Lets do this!

    My name is Shannon wife and mother to a beautiful 5 year old girl. My HW was 154 or 155(delivery wt) and before joining MF reached my GW of 115lb and maintained for awhile then yikes all sudden scale's screamed 130 MFP start wt. I took part in the lose 10lbs in July challange and didnt lose 5lbs needless to say I was very disappointed and discouraged, so I aim to complete this challange and weigh in at my GW 115lbs or my DW(dream wt) 110lbs. I weigh in on Friday AMs since my weekend's are not as structured and Sat is my NO LOG day and I prefer to spend every my weekends going and doing with my family since being a nurse M-F takes me away from them during the week. So here goes my second 10lbs challange

    CW: 124.1lbs **as of 7/29/11**
    GW: 115 by Labor Day 2011

Can't get my butt up early to workout before work an haven't been able to get myself motivated to get to the gym during lunch. And all I want to do is eat :( not sure what is up this weeks, just down, just want to sleep and eat, ug ug

    The chart looks awesome...thanks for all your hard work and motivation. Having a family reunion this weekend so I know I am really going to struggle with temptation this weekend. Please send some resistance my way! I have got to avoid the temptations that will face me.
    Hope everyone is having a fabulous week and lets kick some bootey with our weigh ins on Monday!!!
    Best Wishes

    I am feeling so frustrated...I have been losing continuously every week, up until last week. I stayed the same. I know I didn'y put enough time in. BUT this week I have been busting my *kitten*! Including the run I'll be doing later, that means I exercised 5 out of 7 days! I'm STILL the same so far!!!!!! I am not in a good place....Every other time in my life, I quit when I wasn't seeing results on the scale. Not saying I'm quitting, but I think I am in need of some encouragement or tips!

    Pretty tough for me! I've been doing a lot of snack food eating with my parents :( So at the end of week two, I'm still only 156 (two lbs lost since the start). I REALLY have to get back on the ball, but I'm going on vacation next week so I'm going to need all the support I can get!! :-p

    Wk2 results. Zero, zip, zilch, nada!!!

    Last week was a rough week for me. I was very blah last week and was just sooooooooooo tired. I could not get up early to workout before work and work was to busy for me to go to the gym on lunch. So I did not work out last week at all!!!!! :mad: On top of it I was always hungry, never satisfied. The next couple of weeks are going to be very tough to get all my workouts in. Will have to see how it all goes.

    I just looked at the chart, it looks great! I'm 127 this week so I've lost another lb. It's slow progress but at least I'm moving down. I've been eating around 1300-1400 calories per day and working out most days per week. I need to start working out more often and add some weight lifting in there too. Good luck everyone!

    I don't know what's wrong with me, I can't get it together! I gained again and am now at 275. Part of me is thinking I might as well just drop out of this challenge because I've gained 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks since it started. But I'm not going to give up. I need to do this. I've gained 20 pounds back from my lowest since joining MFP. My ticker once said 37 pounds lost. I'd love to see that again plus some! Sorry everyone for not being a good example! I need to do better!

    Yucky stupid TOM, so I am back at 184 today. But hey I didn't gain a whole bunch. Maybe I'll get that magic number 2 this week :)

    Sounds like a lot of you are doing so much better than I am. Great job guys!

    I am at 253... down lots this past week.... but tons of hiking, running and walking.... burned nearly 6000 calories! I can do that ever now and then for a week or two... but nothing sustainable for sure!

    This week I am up to 183 - so I put on 1.4 pounds.
    It was a terrible week. My Grandfather passed away and I broke my wrist. So not only was I unable to do my regular workouts, but I ate pretty crummy all weekend as I joined everyone in the Fijian feasts to celebrate my Grandfather's life.
    I need to now start a new routine of workouts since I have to put the 30 Day Shred on hold until I am healed. I will figure it out asap and get on it!

    Hi,
    I would love to join your challenge (but living in the UK) don't know when Labor Day is!

    I'll be 47 next week and am looking to lose the last 8 pounds to hit my final goal. I'll be travelling to Denver for a 2 week road trip on 9th September and would love to have reached my goal by then.

    My starting weight was 202lbs on 1st April, my goal is 168lbs. Being 6ft tall I believe this is reasonable, healthy and realistic.

    I am so looking forward to buying a new wardrobe for my holiday.

    Thanks to two days of a family reunion and then all day in a car yesterday, was up .2 of a pound. Just a little gain so I guess I should be happy that was all it was. It could have been a lot worse.

    How about a challenge? This weekend (which I know it's only thursday, you could get an early start) I challenge everyone to

    1. try making a new dish that's healthy
    2. Help out one friend in some way
    3. devote 30 mins, sat and sun for pure exercise
