    I'm so down for this challenge!! I'm nearing my goal at about 20-30lbs left. I've lost 80lbs so far, SW 255 CW 175 GW 145 at 5'7. I'm looking to lose between 15-20 of it by September 3rd especially because that's my birthday and I want to throw a goal/ birthday party :) I'm planning to make this birthday special, as my parents have both passed holidays and such occasions is a challenge for me. I want to feel proud of myself and know how proud they would have been of me. Thanks for starting this!

    I've done P90X and I'm almost halfway done with Insanity. Next is JM 30DS then ripped in 30. Feel free to add me, just type Labor day challenge in the request :) I see potential twins!! Lets motivate each other!!

    So happy to join a group of supporters on a common journey....to become more physically healthy. :bigsmile:

    I accept the challenge to lose 20 pounds by Labor Day by incorporating more physical movement into my daily life....which has been very sedentary. :ohwell: Time to change that!!!! :wink:

    I COMMIT to using an indoor aerobic routine everyday. I found a great video online. :smile:

    I would like to weigh 140 lbs or under by Labor Day.
    I would also like to have more consistent exercise habits and better eating habits.
    Last of all, I will learn to love myself the way I should have all along.

    I am committing to recording my food every day until Labor Day.
    Even when I don't lose weight I will not stop following my plan until Labor Day.This is my biggest problem I don't stay on a plan more than a week or two when I don't see results right away.
    It's 10 weeks until Labor Day. 15 pounds will be my goal .
    Tomorrow I will record my real weight and start from there since I started gaining more weight I stopped weighing.

    Okay, I think I have finally figured out how to use MFP. My short term goal = 20 pounds by Labor Day. I will also aim for finishing C25K but I will be happy if I'm at least halfway through it and managing to be consistent with an exercise routine.

    My b-day is September 2nd. My goal is to be 20 lbs down by then. I will be going back to school full-time in August but to help keep my stress level down this time around I am going to make myself a priority and that HAS to include daily exercise.

    I'm so glad this group was started. I've been working with a dietician through work for about 7 weeks and we only have three more with her. I was starting to get nervous that I wouldn't be accountable but I believe this will help me as well once she's no longer with us. I am down 16lbs as of last week and have another weigh in tomorrow. I am hoping to lose 25lbs before she leaves and then 20 more by labor down. That would give me 45lbs of fat gone wooo hoooo!

    Hi all, I'd like to lose 20 pounds by Labor Day although I would be happy with 15 pounds. That's 1.5 lbs a week for 10 weeks - it seems doable. I have been on a plateau - actually gaining a little then losing a little - for a few months. It's time to get back into wellness. I am glad to have found this group today.

    Good luck, everyone! Let's do this. :smile:

    Thanks for that breakdown 1.5 lbs a week?? oh yes definitely doable!! lets goooo!!! im excited :)

    height: 5' 4"
    weight: 145

    would like to just get back down to the 30's or 20's, and maintain myself from there.
