Labor Day Challenge 2012

Labor Day is September 3rd so we have 8 weeks and 4 days in this challenge. How much do you want to lose?

I currently weigh 190.4 and I would like to weigh 175 by Labor Day. I hope this is doable in 8 weeks. My weight loss has slowed downed a lot since my work outs were ramped up.

Here are my goals:

1. Make it to the 170's

2. Lose 15.4 lbs

3. Log food every day into MFP

4. Exercise 4-5 a week

5. Make it to week 10 on Couch to 5 K

Please join me!!!

I lost 2.5 pounds this week! Go low carb!!!!! I am trying really hard to make my goal of 135 by August 8th, my surgiversary. I have two more weeks to lose 6 pounds. I believe I can do it. If I do, I will revise my Labor Day goal to 130. I need to get under my goal so I have some wiggle room. After that, I will start maintenance. Good luck everyone!!!

I joined the Century Club this week!!

22# to goal..whew! I don't know if I can make this challenge or not. I have been doing WAAY too many carbs the last couple of days. That has got to go! I have upped my protein greatly though. At least that is a step in the right direction.

I would like to join too!

CW. 226.6

GW 210

I have been losing slowly recently

Goals

64 oz in daily & increase protein intake

Start working out - so tired that I haven't started yet

CW 216.6 down 10# since start of challenge! Yay!!!

Going to the gym tomorrow And doing a bit better on my protein and liquid intake. Looks like it may have been out of my control why i have had so many problems with getting in food and liquid. Had my 3 mos check up yesterday and dr said sleeve is narrowing, so I go back in on the 10th for egd if I still am feeling the same restriction and acid.
