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!!!

Count me in. I'm a new sleever, 1 week out, and first time challenger. I have no idea how I'll loose with the sleeve, so I'll set a somewhat ambitious goal and work my tail off to get there. :)

Surgery 4/24/2012

Pre-Surgery Weight 327

Current Weight 275

Labor Day Goal Weight - 260

So close to goal too! I know the working out will slow my loss down more than it already is - usually lose 4-6 lbs a month at this point.

You are teeny! I know 5 lbs will be a true challenge. Good luck to you!

I had already set a Labor Day goal for my weight and I'm thrilled to participate! I am at 247 and would like to be 216. I'm only a week post op so I'm not sure how the weight loss will be but I'm setting the goal and will reevaluate if needed. If I can meet it, it will be a huge victory for me as I haven't seen that weight since September 2006. I also want to exercise 4X a week for at least 30 minutes, drink a minimum of 64 oz of water daily, and consume 45 grams of protein daily.

I'm in :)

I have been stalled for a month, so the scale is going to move!!

I'm in! This is my first challenge as well.

CW: 214.2

Goals during challenge:

* lose 24.2 so that I am at 190

* exercise more

* 80 grams of Protein a day

* drink more "plain" Water and less "doctored" water

* don't let the "cheats" sneak back in

Good luck everyone!

Hmmm....8 weeks.....ok

I'm at 277, and I'd like to get to 255 and fit into my wedding dress. B) (22 lbs. Lofty goal, I know.....but I might do it!)

Ok, last challenge was a bust for me. I lose very slowly - probably around .5 - 1 lb a week. I'm only 4 months out. But I desperately want to keep losing, so I'm going to continue pushing myself.
