How many of ya'll want to look your best by mother’s day? That is 20 weeks!! I want to lose 50 lb. in 20 weeks that is 2.5 lb. a week. This can be done!! So how many of you want to join me? We will weight in every Monday. We will be allotted one semi bad day a week. By semi bad I mean maybe some chips, a beer or sweet thing all totaling up to 600 calories on Sunday only!! I know if I go strict I screw up so I think if I don’t completely deprive myself I will not fall off the wagon. We will begin January 2nd. I’m gonna weight in Monday morning so who’s with me?

    This could be a great challenge for me..is there anyway that you are going to break it up into 2 -10 week sessions or is it going to be just 1 long 20 week challenge?.
    Personally I find it easier to keep on track & hit my goals in shorter challenges. Makes me work harder knowing that I only have a few weeks to hit my goal. If it is too long I get board or get the attitude of " I can lose it next week or exercise tommorrow".

    Wiil keep tack of this thread and decide if I want to join before you start

    I'm in! I've never done a group so I may need a little extra instruction! Not only do I want to be a "hot momma by mother's day" I also want to be a hotter momma for my college graduation in May. I've had a couple of months of slacking so I really need the extra support!
  • I think two ten week challanges is a good Idea.Today I weighted in at 179 :(. So what is everybody's start weight? My goal today is No junk food! Aka cookies, chips ect... and to take me dog for a short walk. What's yours?
  • I have a similar goal - although I wish I could lose 30 pounds in 3 weeks! I started late, considering I turn 50 in January and wanted to look my best. Instead, I'll shoot for Mother's Day. I need to lose 35 pounds. I think this will work - I lost 5 in the past 5 days.
  • Did not stay on track yesterday and to top it off Aunt flow came. I'm not gonna get discuraged, this will only last a few day's.
  • Please count me in! My birthday is the same week as Mothers day so it is a huge motivator. I need to lose 35 lbs by that date and a group will really help. Lets stick to it and make it work. :happy:

    Mine is on the 13th, which is Mother's day!! I will be 37. I am wanting to lose a bit more than 35 pounds, but by my birthday/Mother's Day i would love to have dropped that amount!!! My starting weight was 245 but i have lost 2 lbs this week so I am already down to 243. I have logged everything consistently for 12 days now, stayed under goal, and worked out 4 days this week!! Hope everyone else had a wonderfully successful week!!

  • I weigh in on Monday but I'm feeling less bloated so I'm crossing my fingers. Congrats on the lose!! I'm so hoping to be in a bikini by mother’s day. We always have a big pool party on mother’s day and I want to look good!! We can keep each other motivated!! Today I plan to work out on my elliptical for 20 min, what is your work out?

    Put me down for 20lbs in 20 weeks. I think if I lose more then that it will be great, but I don't want to be discouraged to the point where I want to quit. Although, considering I think I am doing pretty good this week with food.
  • HOW IS EVERYONE DOING?

    Well when i weighed myself on 1-2-2012 I was 212 and when I weighed myself today i was 208.4. I think part of that was because I was sick last week and couldn't keep most of my food down but I hope to continue losing the weight. I have my husband eating healthier with me and a friend working out with me so I hope with their support and your support I can keep this up :)
  • WOOHOO!!! I lost almost 3lb!!! Now if I can just keep it up!!

  • Sounds great to be a part of this group! I weighed in at 184lbs on the 1/2/12, and down to 181lbs as of yesterday. I've only made food changes so far - fruits, vegetables, lean meats and fish. Going to start walking today, just 20 minutes for now (maybe twice a day).
