in Introduce Yourself
I made it to 175lbs just two weeks ago but after my vacation i find it hard to get back on this because i kinda have it in my mind that i will start monday when my daughter is back to school and just eating crap and ended up gaining 6lbs but i know myself that i will lose this fast once i'm back on it but...

Anyone who is in their 180s can join this challenge to see who will reach the 160lbs mark first.
Being in such challenge will push us to work harder.

Starting at 181lbs

Please post your starting weight!

The challenge is to work harder to be the FIRST to make it to the 160lbs mark.
No rules JUST BE THE FIRST.

    I've been stuck at 179.5 for a couple of weeks. I hope I weigh less tomorrow, but I'm not holding out hope. Too much sugar! Sign me up!

    Think by the end of May I can reach the 160 mark? What is a realistic goal?

    I started my journey last Memorial Day Weekend (2011) at the beginning weight of 250 lbs. By the New Year I was down to 180. However, since then I have been pretty much stuck at this weight and it is beginning to get frustrating. It seems I just am hovering at the 180 mark - gain a few pounds and then lose a few pounds so I am finding myself constantly back at square one which is 180. I haven't given up and I still walk 13,000 steps at least 5 days a week and I try to watch what I eat. Have decided to just relax and enjoy the knowledge that I have at least lost 70 lbs since last year. I do not plan to give up, however, and will keep on trying to get to my goal of 100 pounds lost. Perhaps, joining this challenge will give me the boost I need to get closer to that goal!

    we should start a group instead of using the forum so everyone can look it up and record and motivate and keep in touch with what we are doing! I have never started one before, but I would be more than happy to! I think we need a fun name though, any ideas!?!?

    there is a 4% Challange going on too..... Here are numbers, I have found somewhere between 3%-4% seem realistic :)

    Realistic 3% drop each month
    end of every month
    180.0 5.4 174.6 April
    174.6 5.2 169.4 May
    169.4 5.1 164.3 June
    164.3 4.9 159.4 July
    159.4 4.8 154.6 Aug

    Realistic 4% drop each month
    end of every month
    180.0 7.2 172.8 April
    172.8 6.9 165.9 May
    165.9 6.6 159.3 June
    159.3 6.4 152.9 July
    152.9 6.1 146.8 Aug


    My goal is the 4%.... good luck to all
    The first column is the beginning weight, the second is either 3% or 4%, and the last is what you would see at the end of the month.... I think by summer, I would be pleasantly surprised if I can stick to the challange!! Good Luck to All !!
