    I WILL lose 20 pounds by Labor Day! I will walk my five miles everyday and reduce my time each day. I would like to work my way back to running, but I have a lot of weight to get off so I don't stress my joints.

    I just found this challenge so I will post my weight in the morning (I have eaten for the day and when I weigh, it is in morning before any intake).

    I will lose 20lbs for labor day and any extras will be a blessing! I am going to Jamaica the end of September and I would not know how to act if I can confidently sport a sexy swimsuit!!!

    I'd like to lose 10-15 pounds by Labor Day so I'll take the challenge. Wish I was still a runner and could post improvement challenge times but I've become addicted to my jazzercise classes and can't see myself ever giving them up. I CAN see myself committing to at least 4 classes a week though AND as an added challenge I'll do my very best to stay away from drive through windows!

    Count me in! My goal is 15 pounds by Labor Day.

    Current weight - 163.6 lbs
    Goal - 125 lbs.

    Need lots of encouragement to just get up and walk. I let myself get to a point where it was painful to walk, so I'm just taking a step at a time, a day at a time.

    Thanks for the challenge!

    I am going to lose 20 more pounds by labor day. My brother's wedding is september 15th.

    CW: 186.4
    GW: 166.4 (for challenge)

    So very glad you guys started this challenge. I just finished my first 3500 calorie burn challenge and exceeded my goal. It really pumped me up! This is just what I need to help stay focused!

    Here's a question for you. 
    My fitbit tells me to eat less than 1200 calories even when i exercise  I have it set to lose 1.5 pounds week to meet the labor day challenge. Everything I read says if your not losing could be your not eating 1200.  But look at Demi Moore she eats a tablespoon of tuna and a lettuce leaf and she is sooooo thin..or Angelina Jolie she would blow away in the wind. Ok they are not my ideal I just want to be a comfortable size 12  but really why is 1.5 pounds so difficult. I have had this program and the fitbit since January I have used it except when I was so discouraged I gave up.. I see many participants losing Significant weight but i also read many having my same problem as I am I'm on Day 2 this time around and I want to succeed.

    My goal for this challenge is to lose 20 pounds. I have to stop looking at the weekends as freebie days. I eat too much or drink too many calories and then I blow the work I put in all week.

    I would like to set the goal to be 20 pounds lighter by then. So far 9 pounds since the 13th of June. Trying to keep motivated and keep cool. It has been a hot week.

    I'm 5'6"

    My current weight is 172 and my goal by Labor Day is 160.

    So, I'd like to lose 12 pounds, which is a little over 1lb/week.

    I'm down with losing 20 lbs by labor day :) I've recently become very active (for me) and have changed my eating habits drastically but to an eating style that I can live with for the rest of my life. I'm so excited to have some challenges and goals to work towards!

    I want to lose 15-20 pounds by Labor Day. My long term goal is to lose 50 pounds (current weight 171) I started MFP last week and did lose 1 pound when I weighed this morning. I started doing Zumba a couple months ago and can tell my body is changing some, but I need to kick it into gear which a healthy diet as well. My main issue is keeping my sugar points down, everything else is under the goals for the day, but it's amazing how I use up all the sugar points with just a yogurt and a package of nuts. Anyone have suggestions?
