    Hit up Spotlight or another craft/sewing store, they usually have measuring taps for like $1-2?

    Challenge starting weight: 255 lbs (August 1st weight but I don't want to check it again until Sept 1 and then so on and so on)

    End of challenge goal weight: 200-205 lbs (I hope this is possible and logical)

    Your Plan to get to your goal weight: Stick within my calorie count for the day. Zumba 3 or 4x a week, the other days I'm not Zumba-ing it up then I need to be getting my 30 min walk on. Doing yoga for the last week in August and the first week of September. I want to start learning how to country dance come October so I will be working that in as well.

    Challenge Starting Measurements:
    neck: 19"
    chest: 48"
    arms: left (upper) 17" right (upper) 16"
    waist: 53" (belly button)

    thighs: left and right 25" (upper)

    Good Luck everyone!!! :)

    or even like wal-mart should definitely have measuring tapes in their craft section!

    Challenge starting weight: 171

    End of challenge goal weight: 135

    Your Plan to get to your goal weight: exercise at least 1 hour/day for at least 6 days a week. Start c25k plan and take that as far as it goes. Be a part of as many challenges as I can through MFP so that I can stay motivated.

    Challenge Starting Measurements:
    neck:
    chest: 36
    arms: left and right
    waist: 31
    hips: 38
    thighs: left and right

    I will report my other measurements once my fiancee can measure me properly. Good luck everyone and let's keep each other encouraged. We can do this together. There is no such thing as failure:)

    Here are my actual measurements (thanks babe for measuring me):
    neck: 13.5"
    chest: 36"
    left arm: 12.5"
    right arm: 12.25"
    waist: 39.5"
    hips: 46"
    left thigh: 27"
    right thigh: 27"

    Okay I still have not read a response as to when we are checking in. Will we check in weekly? bi-weekly? monthly?

    Challenge starting weight: 192 lbs

    End of challenge goal weight: 153 lbs

    Your Plan to get to your goal weight: Maintain a calorie goal conducive to a pound and a half per week weight loss and to alternate days between my interval treadmill work out and Wii Fit Yoga. My goal for the treadmill is to start off with 30mins at a 3.5 incline, 2.5mph base and a 4.5 incline, 3.5mph sprint and increase my time by 5 mins every 2 weeks until I'm doing 45 mins at my starting speeds. Then I will do 2 weeks of 30 mins at 3 and 4 mph respectively. Once again, upping my time by 5 mins every 2 weeks until I'm doing 45 mins. Finally, my final goal will be 30, eventually increasing to 45, mins at 3.5 and 4.5 mph respectively.

    My Yoga Goal is to add a new pose every time, always doing at least 30 minutes every session. When the kids are back in school, my husband and I are going to look into Hot Yoga. We thought that, in addition to improving flexibility and balance, it would be a great thing to do ‘together’. Kind of an alone time thing :)


    Challenge Starting Measurements: (I will take these when I get home and fill them in)
    neck:
    chest:
    arms: left and right
    waist:
    hips:
    thighs: left and right

    My regular weigh in day is Thursday so I will be updating my weight then. I will also update my measurements every 2 weeks as this is my 'usual' routine.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    Hey,
    My August goals are to complete w5 of the c25k. I finished w5d1 today. I am also making sure to stay active at least 6 days of the week and keeping Sunday as my rest day. I have already made a lifestyle change with my eating habits. Thanks to my sister. I am trying to lose 10 lbs by the end of this month, but I am not sure if I am going to make it as the scale doesn't show me losing weight, however my clothes are much more loose. Well I don't want to continue to ramble. So tell me, what are your goals for August.
