Hi guys,

I looked and haven't been able to find anyone doing one yet this year, but I'd like to start a Memorial Day Challenge! I like using holidays for these because it really gives you a set date for your goal and really motivates me to get in the gym! I'm going on a trip to Washington D.C. for Memorial Day weekend, so that is a great goal date for me! Today is March 25 and Memorial Day is in 64 days (just over 9 weeks). Feel free to join at any time!

Starting Weight: 199 (1/1/12)
Current Weight: 183 (3/25/12)
Memorial Day Goal: 165 (18 lbs lost from now)
Ultimate Goal: 155 and toned by my birthday in September!

    I'm honestly surprised that more people haven't joined. People on here seem to always be up for a challenge.

    I think there are too many posts going up really fast right now. If it doesn't catch on, I'll bump it tomorrow and see if we get any more biters :)

    Count me in, too!
    Starting weight: 162 (1/1/12)
    Current weight: 149 (3/25/12)
    Goal weight: 144

    I know I didn't set my weight loss for very much, but I'm strength training/toning, so I'm likely to be adding lean muscle. Also, with the menopausal issues, it's been SO HARD to lose weight!

    Hope that's OK!

    Current weight: 185.6
    Memorial day goal: 165.6
    Overal lgoal: 135-140

    I don't know what weight I need to be at for my overall. I know what size I want to be and when I am toned and at that size I'll be done. I am guessing it is around 135-140.

    I'm totally in! I just started on this site today and I was looking for something to motivate me through this first week and on. I need the afternoon motivation because that is what I just don't care ... don't exercise and don't eat healthy. Not good! As for my stats:

    Starting Weight: 210
    Goal for Memorial Day: 195
