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?

There is a first time for everything! So stoked to do this! Let's go!

Current/Starting weight: 292.4

Challenge Goal loss: 20 pounds

Challenge Goal Weight: 272.4

I'm in. I'll be conservative and say 15#. My surgery was 2/14 and I'm down (counting pre-op) 57#. I figure it will start slowing down soon, especially because I do not exercise. I have got to see the doc tomorrow about my knee injury...possible surgery. Still excited though!

This will put me 30 pounds from my ultimate goal of 145. That is still an "Overweight" BMI (I'm 5'2") but I look and feel my best at that weight (if I'm remembering right LOL!). It will also bust the statistic that you can only lose 55% to 60% of your excess weight because that will put me at 74% of the weight gone. Right now I'm at 64% gone.

I am so scared to do this.....I have not met one challenge yet...mainly because I hit a nightmare stall from hell for 8 weeks!! That's right, 8 weeks!! I did the Easter challenge and did not lose ONE FREAKING POUND from February 4 till Easter...that was so depressing. I also didn't meet my overall goal of getting down to 235 by March 31 from my original surgery goals. I don't know if I'm in the right mind frame to do this...and I really, really need to make whatever I set for myself this time, or I really will be crushed and discouraged! Ugh.....okay, enough whining...here goes!!! My body HAS to start losing eventually, right??? You know what's really depressing? I don't even need to change the numbers on my short term ticker from the Easter goal since February!! Lmao....another ugh.....it'll be nice to change the background, tho!

Let's do this!!!

Well, I've been challenging myself since about a week ago. I met my Easter goal early. I know this is a stretch, but I want to lose 17 lbs in 7 weeks. Normal or bust!

We can totally do this. I am starting the C25k again this week, hoping the cardio will help ramp up my weight loss.

I hope it's not too late. I just found this posting and I love this idea. I'm only 2 weeks post surgery so either I'll lose more easily or fall into a stall at this point. I'm going for 2 pounds per week so hoping for a 14 pound loss by Memorial Day. Thanks Tammy for getting this going!

Yay!!

Can one of you tell me how I get multiple tickers going? I put one up for the challenge then when I hit save, they both became the same. I did it like 4 times with the same results.

I want in!!!

When you update your ticker, scroll down to the bottom and it will say "create another ticker". Click on that and it will let you make another one. Copy that code and paste it below your original ticker, then hit the save button. It should update and have the two different ones then.
