Hi chicaloca and welcome. Weigh in is this Friday.
You'l need to record your workouts on that day also with the rest of your stats.
Workouts are from Friday-Thursday.
Good luck!0 -
Do you have room for one more? Please!!!! I would love to be part of your group and I love the idea of being held accountable. You guys have permission to yell at me if i slack off. My goal: I would like to feel good in my clothing and look great for my anniversary in August. I'm turning 37 in July and the closer I get to 40 the more I worry about being over weight and diabetic. The older women in my family are all over weight and diabetic so I have to change now before history repeats itself. So, Count me in!

I would love to join this Challenge. I am getting married on Oct. 18th and my appointment to have my wedding dress altered is in the middle of August. I would love to be down twenty pounds by then so I can have my dress taken in and not feel like a big, fat slob at my wedding. I really have to get my lazy butt into gear and start exercising and eating right. I bought my wedding dress three weeks ago and I tried it on last night and it wasn't good. I couldn't zip it up all the way in the back and my arms are huge. Not to mention the backfat that was overflowing my dress. I have definitely gained some weight since I bought it due to the stress of planning the wedding and having my fiance move in with me. I have lived alone for so long, I'm not sure how to live with someone else. It is a big adjustment and I want to eat. Having to post my stats will hopefully help me keep on track.

I would love to join also, if it's not to late. I quit smoking about 1 1/2 years ago, have done some exercising in group classes, joined a gym, heck I even trained and ran slowly in a mini marathon in May. But 'm still 20 -25 pounds heavier than I have ever been. And quite disenchanted, no actually disgusted by it all. So i am trying to get this food thing together and get back into an exercise routine, I really just need someone to be accountable to and someone to lift my spirits when I'm ready to quit.
This thread sounds like the perfect place. You all are very motivating and inspiring. Thanks in advance:)

Holy did you get the response to the challenge. I am also up for it. I started only yesterday. Not sure if I can make the 20pound mark but I am up for the challenge. Never knew how little 1200 calories is. It is only 7:30pm and I am done for the day and I haven't eaten candies have a problem of needed a pop a day hard to give up that, but that is what takes my calories away. Thank goodness for excercises gives me more food to eat (good food of course)

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. WE CAN DO IT ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

Hey gang-
hope you guys are gearing up for the second weigh in this Friday, already!!!
This week has not been the greatest for me in terms of weight loss, however, on the plus side, I am way more consistent with my workouts and am witnessing my stamina and endurance increase each day.
There is something I want to ask??? What are you guys doing for rewards each time you overcome an obstacle/ reach a weightloss goal etc!
I've broken mine down.
Goal 1- Reach 180 (-5 lbs) New trainers for the gym.
Goal 2- Reach 175 (-10lbs) New Highlights- gearing up for Summer.
Goal 3- Reach 170 (-15lbs) Donate all baggier loose fitting clothes. I should be down at least one size.
Goal 4- Reach 165 (-20lbs) Botox! Yeap- I'm gonna go for it.
Goal 5- Reach 160 (-25 lbs) Shoppinf spree at Victoria's Secret. Purge all old granny knickers for bright, beautiful SMALLER ones.
....and on and on
Ultimate goal for me is to hit 140 lbs. On that day I am marching into the Jeweler's store and picking up a diamond eternity band I have had my eye on for months.
This is about me and my journey. I need incentives and rewards to keep me on track.
Anyone else out there doing something similar?
Again, welcome to all the new faces. Swoopoette, you are so right, this thread is on fire.

I am rewarding myself after every 25 pounds lost with a manicure or a pedicure. When I reach my goal weight I am treating my self to a massage.

Wow Nelly!!!
I cannot believe how many of you are up for the challenge- what a great show of force.
Now the real work begins.
For you Newbies, tomorrow will be your official first weigh in. All's you need to do is post your
SW, CW and your workouts for the week. Remember- we are only interested in your actual time/days/calories burned versus what you INTEND to do for the week. This site is about accountability and pushing yourselves out of the comfort zone. :explode:
For the rest, this is week 2.
In addition to posting all of the above, please also add your weight for the first weigh in and how many pounds you have lost (or gained. It's ok peeps, let's keep it real here).
Make this day count and feel light as a feather on those scales tomorrow.
Cheers

Hi everyone! This is my first day and I cannot believe I am only now discovering this amazing site.
Straight to the point...I'm a 42 and 40lbs overweight. In a word, FAT.
The weird thing is that I haven't seen myself as such until recently. Ever have those times when you get all dolled up for a night out and you really think you're smokin. Then out comes a camera and there you are...only you don't look as hot as you feel. Happens to me all the time. My eyes look squinty, the chins are creating a collar on my neck , and all the emotions of guilt, shame and anger at myself come tumbleing into play. Some people have coined the phrase "Skinny-Fat"- that's me ok.
How did I let myself get to this point.
Well this is it for me. I'm married to a man who works out 6 days a week and looks better 15 years later than the day I first met him. He can't say that about me. I want to make him proud and be that hot girlfriend again. So here's the deal.
I'm throwing a challange out there for anyone who wants to lose 20lbs between now and August 31st.
We would weigh in each Friday and log the following.

Currant weight

Who's ready to put your butts into high gear and be shredded for Summer?
Let's do this
