Memorial Day Challenge!

Okay guys, Its challenge time again. Who is with me? Memorial Day is about 7 weeks away and I am going to start this challenge off right with a doable goal of 10 pounds. I am 8 months out today and I know my losses will be continuing to slow. I used to set my goals at 20 pounds, then 15, then 13 and now 10. I want to be realistic and I am only 20 pounds from goal so I think 10 pounds is a good realistic goal for me. How about you? What will be your goal for the next seven weeks?

CW: 256

GW: 240

This is perhaps a little ambitious since I stall for a minimum of a week every month during my TOM, but I'm going to try!!

Final challenge weigh in: 242 !!!! I'm 2#over my goal, but totally thrilled to have this much :D

Starting weight: 292.4

Challenge Goal loss: 20 pounds

Challenge Goal Weight: 272.4

Current Weight: 281.8

So I am 9.4 pounds from my challenge goal, but I still managed a loss! I have never weighed under 300 pounds as an adult (I'm 34) so I'm proud of myself for that. I'll try another challenge maybe not for pounds lost but for the amount exercise I do. I need motivation to move and I know the pounds will come off then. Happy losing everyone!

Final weigh in for this challenge 165 down 3 more pounds total weight loss 14 pounds for this challenge didn't quite make the 20 pound expectation but I'm happy with 14#loss..... On to the next challenge......see ya there

I lost another 1.1 pounds for a total weightloss of 8.3 pounds for this challenge. I didnt make my goal of 11 pounds but I got close! In two tenths of a pound' date=' I will be a normal weight for my BMI. I am happy with the result as I knew it would get harder the closer I got to goal. I am a mere 12 pounds from goal now. Congratulations to all those who made goal or got close! On to the next challenge! July 4th... who is with me?[/quote']

It's called "July 4th Challenge" if you want to search for it. Please join us. The more, the merrier.

Didn't make but I am still going to set a stretch goal for the next challange. Only 12 lbs to final goal.

Darn, I was so close. Didn't make the goal but still losing 18 pounds is okay by me. I'll do better on the 4th of July challenge.
