Personal challenge. Keep excercising regularily, add more weights.
Cardio 45-90 minutes 6-7 days per week. Strength 30-60 minutes 2-3 days per week.
I eat and exercise to lose 1 lb week (according to the guidlines) but I seem to lose at a much slower rate. But at least I'm going in the right direction!0 -
14 weeks you say? ok, I think I can lose some by then.
Current weight: 174.5
goal weight for memorial day: 160
weight lost this week: 00 -
I'm in. Ideally I would like to be under 167 by May for my PT test, but I feel that goal may be a bit to ambitious, so while I will secretly strive for that I would still be estatic if I reach the goal below.
Original post baby weight: 225.4
Current weight: 202
Goal weight: 175 (Ultimate 160 by Sept)
Goal weight loss a week: 2 lbs
Pounds lost this week: 0 will know on Thursday
pounds lost total: 23.4
I am currently doing very good at getting workouts in as long as it is a day I work... would like to get better about doing things on my off days! Would like to be able to complete my 1.5 mile run in under 15:18 by May. Once it warms up I will have a better idea of how far off I really am from that.
Good luck everyone!0 -

Tuesday update.....
I achieved my personal challenge (the crunches) for today.
(I think if I log whether I do it or not will help me achieve this goal .... if I don't log it to everyone I will forget about it .... my own way of working toward this).
Thanks ..... good luck to everyone in this challenge ..... keep the motivation going!!!!0 -
Yes, I have a personal goal/challenge of getting to the gym at least 3 days this week. I went yesterday, so will shoot for at least 2 more days (if not more). Plus, I play and run around with my 15 month old son...that should count for something right???? hehe0

Cowboy0 -
I am doing the JULY challenge as well, but it never hurts to have more goals to shoot for along the way. I originally wanted to reach my final goal by my 30th birthday (June 1), but I think it is going to take me a little bit longer than that. So!
Current weight: 193.2 (Tues)
Goal weight: 175
Goal weight loss a week: 1.5 lbs
Pounds lost this week: 0 - since this is the first week! But 1.5 since last week.
pounds lost total: 0 - again, since this is the first week. But 17 lbs overall.
My new personal goal is to try and get to 10,000 steps 5 days of the week. I just got a pedometer and was amazed to see that my typical number of steps (not counting the gym) is less than 3000. :frown: So I want to start taking more walks at work and slowly work up my count. I may even (gulp) try to park farther from the door - a really hard thing to do in the arctic wind chills we've been having lately! BRRRRR!0 -
My Thursday Weigh-In:
Current weight: 207
Goal weight: 179 (as of Memorial Day anyway)
Goal weight loss per week: Hopefully 2 lbs a week
Pounds lost this week: 2
Pounds lost total: 2 for this challenge (63 total since September 4)

Story: My boyfriends family are HUGE summer people. They have several cabins up north on lakes and the summers are filled with swimming and boating and bathing suites. His whole family is a bunch of skinny little people so this year, I'm going to fit in! Hooray for looking decent in a bathing suit!!!0 -
Well, I didn't make it to the gym to weigh in yesterday morning. The base was closed due to an ice storm. Wednesday afternoon I was 202 which is the same as last week, so I am hoping that is actually a 1 lb lose figuring that I weigh less in the morning. But I guess I will know for sure next Tuesday as that is the next time I will be at the gym in the morning. I don't have a scale at home... that keeps me from obsesing too much. Plus as far as the AF is concerned only their scales count as "official" I did however lose 1.25" off my waist!!!
Current Weight 202 (PM weigh in)
Goal Weight 175
Goal Weight per week 2
Pounds lost this week 0... missed AM weigh in this week
Pounds lost total 23.50 -
Sounds great!!
