Alittle too over drastic with my fourth of July goal. I missed by 9 lbs. However. I still feel I can do this and set my goal within reach. This goal gives me 9 weeks at a rate of 2.44 lbs. a week.

Plan: 70 grams of Protein per day, 40 or fewer carbs per day, exercise 5 days per week.

Although I didn't make the last goal, I am determined to step up the exercise and make the Labor Day goal. I started tracking my food intake again so I hope it helps me keep a closer eye on my calories, carbs, and Proteins.

Well, I missed 4th of july by 2 lbs-but I lost 23 lbs for the last goal. So, I'm setting a similar goal this time.

I KNOW i can do this. Even when I slow down I generally lose about 10 lbs a month. Plus, I'm going to up my workouts for the next 2 months. I can't even imagine being under 200 lbs and to think that it could be me in the next 2-3 weeks.. INTENSE. So excited though.

Hi-

I do not know how to make a real guess to my weight in 60 days...

I lost 29 pounds the three weeks after surgery and 30 pounds the 13 weeks prior...

after surgery I had great weight loss daily and then after 20 pounds my body stalled for 5 days..

now it is 2# every three days, though one day I see nothing and the next nothing then bamm! down again...

I usually suggest folks taking in the last 4-6 weeks average weight loss per week and making that your goal, give or take a few pounds. Men typically lose MUCH faster than us ladies - so I think if you upped your goal a little bit you'd do just fine. Good luck!!

Hi all,

My goal for Labor Day is based on losing 2 lbs. per week, which is what I've been averaging since week 4 post-surgery.

The Labor Day Goal also includes reaching three mini-goals:

1. Getting down to the 180s. Haven't seen that weight since around 200.

2. Becoming Overweight, not Obese (185 lbs)

3. Weighing less than my husband: (<182)

Labor Day Goal:

Checking in early....

I may have to revisit my goal. My 4th goal was actually a July 17th goal since I started late and that's the hubby's birthday. I'll see where I am (hopefully past my current goal) then I'll set another Labor Day goal.

I failed miserable for my 4th of July goal. My body stalled out like crazy and other health issues got in the way. I didn't gain, but I didn't lose anything in a month. So I'm back at it.

SN..............219........219.......199....... 20

We have almost the same stats!

I made my July 4th goal TODAY( ) so I am ready to start for Labor Day. I'm going to have to step it up as I have just passed my 5 month surgiversary so I am anticipating things slowing down but I am ready for a fight!!!

I'm not that experienced yet....do you think this goal is high enough considering I'm only 1 month out?
