SW (for current phase): 192 PW (previous weight): 192 CW (current weight) 194 Loss (this week): + 2 Loss Total (this phase): +2 ouch. I had a weak weekend (logging break saturday, and WAAAAYYY too much sodium yesterday). This week will be better!!

I'm so excited to have everyone join us! Welcome and good luck to all! Take it one day at a time, remember to ask questions and seek out knowledge! Every bad day is followed by a brand-new, shiny new day, so take things one step at a time! I don't know everything, but I know a little about a lot, so feel free to pm me with…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/16331-extrememakeoverweightlosschallenge-fall-2013 It's ready to go! Feel free to join, and re-state your initial goals!

Pm is for Private Message. I will add you and post the link here in a few mins!

The OP wanted to keep it a thread, not a group, but I'd be willing to start a group if people are interested! I need at least 3 people to PM me so I can activate it...I have to invite you to the group to get it started! :flowerforyou: Tomorrow is our first weigh in! I've had a rough weekend myself... Was down 1 lb earlier…

I won a radio contest knowing this once. Well, the specific question was, "how many calories are in a teaspoon of Tony Hawk's semen?" My scientific guess was 3. :-D I got to see Tony Hawk and company and The Offspring (way cool in 2002). Useless knowledge ftw!

Ooh, ooh! I love this idea! I told my boyfriend that Chris is my one "freebie", if the opportunity ever arose :-) I'm about half way to goal, so my loss is slowing, but I'd love to join! I'm retro-ing my numbers for august 1 starting weight. Hw: 258 Sw: 199 Cw: 192 Gw: 140 Phase 1 (8/1/13-10/31/13): 199-->175 -24 lbs Phase…

Thank you both!

Update: I DID IT! I ended up having to take my 15 month old daughter (so, pushing the jogging stroller), so that slowed me down a little. I didn't walk at all, even up the hills! My original goal was sub 40, and I came in at 40:15.5. I wasn't last! And I won a cool gym bag from my gym!

I had to get up before 8 today to go run 3 miles, and nothing is on fire or chasing me!

Thanks sandy! I know you hear this ALL the time, but I want to be as strong as you someday! You are an amazing inspiration: physically and mentally! Dem abz....

Way to go! I did c25k a couple years ago, then got pregnant (read:fat again), and just recently decided to start running again. I'm not doing a program this time, just listening to my body. I ran (slogged) a 5k+ (3.25m) in 42 mins on Friday, then signed up for a 5k on Sunday. Little did I know, the 5k is THIS Sunday! My…

Thanks everyone! I did 2.5 miles on the indoor track today, at a pretty good time (for me, 26:38), and felt like I could have completed the rest of a 5k pretty easily, so I think I've got this! I'll just follow my routine for the week and take Saturday off. It's crazy to me: 2 months ago, I struggled to run a quarter…

Perfect! I'll make that my plan for Thursday! Thank you for your input!

Thanks! Should I do another long run (3 m+) between now and then? 2.25 m is my longest cardio run so far, besides my 5k on Friday...

I've never been a runner, but I'm trying as of late. I recently broke the 12 min mile on the treadmill, then a sub 10 min mile on the indoor track (though I'm not sure how accurate the distance is.) Last week I decided to try some outdoor jogging in the late evening. The first night I did just over 1.5 miles, maintaining…

12th (wo)man! Go Hawks! You'll find me holed up in the bedroom on Sundays (or hanging with my girls) while my boyfriend watched anything but football. Backwards in our house! Superbowl or bust!

Mine is open... Not very exciting, but it works for me!

You deserve many pats on the back! What a great nsv!

Thank you very much!

I have been doing a modified stronglift 5x5 using machines (I don't have a spotter and I'm intimidated by the weight room, lol), and I can leg press like 395 5x5...but I've been just doing cardio stuff for the last couple weeks :-)

My next "big" running goal is a sub 36 min 5k....and I know I will get there eventually! Good luck to all!

Thank you everyone! And good luck and keep at it for everyone who is on the road to becoming a runner too!

I double up on sports bras and wear a fitted work out shirt! I feel your pain!

Aaand just realized I posted in the wrong group. I am So full of win today! :-D

We've lost a 2009 ford f-450, so far!

If a guy doesn't know his" their" from his "they're", courtship over!
