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 finally lost something this week! Apparently I have to push really hard physically. My last two stalls finally broke with serious physical exercise. The first time was with a 5 hour hike. This time it was with a mini Tri on sat. My right knee is not so happy, but yay scale movement!

SW: 164 CW: 161 GW: 149

What the F was I thinking when I set that goal weight?!?! Sheesh

Well, finally back down a little.

Starting Weight 7/4: 275

Today's Weight 7/23: 268.8

Goal Weight 9/2: 260

I seem to be in this cycle of losing for a few days in a row then gaining a little of it back over a few days and then maintaining and then losing. Kind of strange, but as long as I lose more than I gain, then I guess the scale is still going the right direction. I really hope that the goal of 260 is attainable. It should be, who knows, maybe I can even get to 250 which would be amazing. It would be 100 down from my highest weight and 77 from the beginning of my pre-op diet on the 14th of April.

Well not too successful a week! I gained back two of the three and a half pounds that I lost the first week Back on track for now... was eating out a lot and not exercising. Remember, as Roseanne says, "The only one who can defeat me is me!"

This week was good! Not only did I hit my halfway mark, but I broke into Onderland!
