Replies

Can I join this link?..need some fresh motivation. I know I am two weeks behind your start up date. But I can log my actuals since I do keep track of when and how much I exercise and how much I weigh every week (hasn't been pretty...I have reached a ploto)
I have been a member of MFP since Feb 2009. Currently a posting member of another link..which is still going strong..just need some new motivation. I will be turning 32 the last week in August, so your finish date is perfect for the motivation.
If I could lose another 20 pounds by then would be great. I started losing weight last September
(From September to December I lost 12 pounds.....From January to Feburay I lost 5 pounds....From February to now I have lost 15 pounds for a total of 32 pounds)....
It FEELS SO GOOD to have that much weight lost....but I would
to weigh in at 145 -150 pounds.
I'll wait for an answer before posting any results0 -

Looks like everyone is staying focused and seeing results!
I'm 30 years old, 5' 10" and my name is Shauna! I have a 3 kids, ages 4, 2, and 2 months.....I never lost the weight from the 1st couple, then I tried to get rid of it all before getting pregnant with the 3rd. I managed to lose 94 lbs before getting pregnant and was only up 28 lbs from that at the start of this challenge!
Start weight for this challenge 222lbs
Last week 220lbs
This week 219 lbs
Goal 180 lbs
Got in 6 x 45 minute workouts this week, and I burned over 3000 calories....with 3 kids at home, I know I won't always find this much time to workout, so I make sure that I really push myself when I get the chance. You have to make every workout count!!!
Only lost a pound this week, but I'm feeling tighter and stronger, so I'm okay with that! I know it'll happen!
Keep up the great work everyone!0 -

Hi and thanks to everyone (new and on week 2) who logged in and recorded your stats.
I have to say I did think the response today would be much greater and am let down by the lack of drive out there.
Seems we get out of the gate with such strong convictions and promises and then what takes over- Life -which we can choose to translate into excuses. There are none any more for those of us who are really serious about our weight loss.
We are already into the sixth month of the year. How many of us have made those resolutions to really take control and conquer the demons. I did and guess what...in 6 months I have lost more weight (all be it 4lbs) on this challenge than I possibly hoped for.
So does this work? Yeah, it does, but only if we are in it together FOR THE DURATION.0
