I'm starting this thread to help motivate myself more and others. I started at 180 in Jan and am now 155lbs. My Goal is to lose those last 20lbs by Dec 1st. My overall goal weight is 135lbs (I'm 5'7"). I workout 6/7 days a week and eat pretty good. There are dasy here and there that aren't that great but overall, I think I'm doing pretty good. I would like to set weekly and daily goals in this thread. We can check back in and edit or posts. I would like for this challenge to begin Monday Sept 26th. I will then close the thread. Who's with me??? We can do it!!!!!!
If you have a smaller or larger weight-loss goal...you can join too. I am looking for people who are seriously committed to doing this!!!!

Brilliant, I was just looking to start a new challenge too
I'm 5'7", currently ca 140lbs and want to get down to 128, so my plan is 12lbs in 12 weeks, which will take me to just before xmas.
What do you guys do for exercise?
I did 30DS in july/aug, but now had a month "off" as i was on holidays and had too much going on to be bothered to count, so i just tried to be sensible and didn't gain, which was good.
I started 30ds again yesterday, but only wanna do 5 days for each level and then do some other jillian videos as well. otherwise i try to walk a lot and sometimes cycle. I had started c25k also, but i'm still recovering from an op on my tendon, so hoping to get the all clear to run again from my physio in a few weeks. until then i will try to up my extra walking (on top of walking to trains etc) to 45mins.
food wise, i'm kinda good, sweets and alcohol are usually my downfall. otherwise, i eat healthily, smallish portions and try and plan my day in advance to factor in the drinks or chocolates i will have.
ok, that's enough of an introduction i guess :happy:
oh, where are you based? I'm in London, UK
let's do this!

Monday- Treadmill (walking fast pace up 10%grade) 60min/Bike 40min
Tuesday- Legs/Back Strength and Elliptical
Wednesday- 50min Kickboxing/30/40min jogging Treadmill
Thursday- Arms/Chest Strength and Bike
Friday- 1.5 hrs Jogging/fast walking uphill
Saturday- Full Body weights
Sunday- Either Light Cardio or Rest

I am here too
Would LOVE to lose 20 pounds by December 31 but am not putting too much emphasis/pressure on the number as opposed to keeping my calories in check and working out at least 4 times a week.
My workouts usually include a 45 minute fat/burning interval one and I am planing on going back to Bikram Yoga once a week!
What started as a plateau back in June has become a really nasty detour to old ways...
This group is just what I needed

Are there any guys out there? I see lots of ladies, but not so many gentlemen. Anyway, I want to do this challenge. I've never taken part in one of these challenges before, so I don't know how it works exactly. I have been tracking my weight with MFP since early this year, and it just keeps staying steady in the 280s. CW: 282. GW:262. (Long-term GW:220).
As far as exercising, I'm terrible at keeping with a schedule. I got a gym membership last Christmas (thanks to my beautiful wife) but I just don't use it. I work out maybe once a week.
Any suggestions for this guy?0 -
