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!!!

So I somehow gained 2 pounds!!

You're doing it right. We check in each Monday, Labor day is the final goal date. Just post your weight and any goals that you would like to accomplish by then..get in your protein, better water intake,,whatever you want to achieve. Good luck!

Hey y'all: I'd like "in," please! I recently lowered my goal weight by 6 pounds and then promptly lost one.... go figure. I have 5 to go to get to my new goal, and my losing is kind of super slow, like a pound every few weeks. I'd like to lose the last 5 pounds this month, which I think I should be able to do with some discipline and a little EXERCISE--which is my Achilles heel.

Starting weight 180

Goal weight 175 (literally goal weight, LOL!)

Pounds to go: 5

Strategies:

1. Cut down on the cheese!!! Hi, I'm Meg, and I'm a cheese-aholic. Substitute nonfat yogurt more often for good protein without the calories of the cheese.

2. Watch the frozen yogurt portion size--it's been creeping up for the last couple of months, and I need to keep it small. Stop purchasing Skinny Cow products of any description (just until goal--they can come back later, MAYBE).

3. Greens every single day, period.

4. Stay better hydrated--only one coffee drink per day, please, and plenty of water.

5. Move your butt a bit--check out the gym at work and at least look into the walking track and lap pool!!

6. Stop eating after 8 p.m.

LOL I love it!!!! I've become a serious whole dill pickle and cheese addict the past month. No idea what gives on that, but morning, noon, night... I want me some dill pickles and cheese. I would add a cracker in that snack, but the pickles alone are high enough in sodium...

Just saw the board edited my post, it thought I wrote one thing and I can tell you I didn't. Oh well....

Off to get my dill pick and cheese snack. Guess there could be worse choices.

I want to hit the 100 lbs lost mark by my birthday which is 9/13 so I have 9 weeks and a few days to drop 45 lbs. which means 5lbs per week...soooo here goes.

Current Weight 385

Labor day Goal 345-350

Drink more water, excercise more eat more protein.

So I have not been doing so great at the challenge! However I have managed to drop 10.4 lbs this far! I have 5 more weeks until this challege is over and 1 week after that until my birthday..that means 6 weeks to drop another 35 lbs! I can do it if I stick to my goals like I have this last week!

Labor day Goal 345-350

Birthday Goal 340
