Feel free to post them here. As long as everyone participates, I'll make a pinned topic compiling all of them afterwards to allow for a check-in / motivation section!! Great job on week one guys!! We are almost 18 weeks away from summer and took a good first step in the right direction.
You can post your weights for this week in this topic. Weigh in's must be posted by midnight on Sunday to be counted! The new chart will be up next Monday, Feb 27!

Well I am pretty shocked that no one has replied here yet!! I guess I'll post my goals here to get the ball rolling!!
Goals:
1. Pay attention to my Macros when eating and hit that Protein intake goal! (MFP will help with this, as will balanced meals!)
2. Maintain my hydration! (I've gotten pretty good at sucking back 8+ cups of water a day thanks to water available at work!)
3. Work out at least 3 - 5 times a week! (Work out DVDs, home made circuits, horseback riding, walking the dog, gym time)
4. Come in under calories and work for "cheat" days
5. Not allow myself to get down in the dumps when something doesn't go my way for one week's weigh in (I'm working on improving this by reading some self-help type books)0 -
I think I misread the initial post :-)
Goals
1. Increase protein
2. Take a multivitamin regularly
3. Meet my calorie goals with healthy foods instead of junk
4. Cut down on processed foods
5. Cut WAY down on sugar0 -
1. Exercise at least 4 days a week. Doesn't matter if it's 1 hour Zumba Wii or doing one of my videos, as long as I'm moving
2. Only allow myself a "treat" with my husband if I earn it with exercise
3. Stay within my calorie goals
4. Behave with grazing at work
5. Not allow myself to get down in the dumps when something doesn't go my way for one week's weigh in (stole this from Jersey because it is soooo true)0 -

End of challenge goal weight: 145 lbs
Weight loss remaining to goal: 10.2 lbs

My Weekly Check In:
Starting Weight: 165 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 155 lbs
First Week: 164 lbs
Second Week: 161.8 lbs
Total Challenge Loss: 3.2 lbs
Weight Loss Remaining to Goal: 6.8 lbs
Well I guess my plateau concerns are out the window. This major loss came as quite a suprise! Seeing as nothing has really changed diet or exercise wise, I'm pretty sure that it has been water retention. I'm really excited!! It puts me way ahead of schedule to meet my challenge goal and end goal!
Weekly Success: Under calories, meeting macros
Weekly Struggle: Sleep continues to be an issue, and I am letting my exercising wane. Also I need to keep my sugar intake down!
This Week’s Personal Challenge: Keep pushing it and celebrating my victories! I am only 1.8 lbs away from having lost 35 lbs!0 -
Sw: 146
W!:146
W2: 146
Added--- Challenge goal weight: Anything under 140. How about 139.9999999999.
I thought my scale might be broken, but my husband didn't weigh 146!
I'm at a plateau-- but at the same time, I haven't been "pushing it." I admit I don't have the highest amount of motivation. I think if the scale would move a little bit I would have more motivation. Yah, yah, measurements, feeling healthier, blah blah. Ugh. I'm just a bit down. Everything seems tedious.0 -

We've all been there Zen. Its a tough spot to be in. Sometimes photos inspire, or maybe try finding a form of exercise that is fun? How can we help ya out Zen?0 -
Thank you Jersey! I just need to be a sad-sack for a little bit longer-- then I'll be ok.0

3. Limit alcohol consumption
4. Portion control0 -

Week 2-135-Totall blew my diet over the weekend AND its about that time...
Goal-for the week-2 lbs
Went nuts at Pirate'S Dinner Adventure and didn't work out as well. This week I will be sticking to my calories like glue AND I will be hitting the gym. Down on myself for the gain but it is a journey and I sure had a great time blowing it :-)0
