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 have to do my Labor Day Challenge check in a day early since I will be in Austin, Texas for work training all next week.

Last week I was at 221 and my current weight is 218.3! Whoo Hoo another 2.7 down. My GW is 210. Only 8.3 to go in 4 weeks I think I can do it!! Good luck everybody, andi look forward to seeing your weekly results!

I do believe I based my goal weight for labor day on how much I lost initially.

At a stand still on the scale, but I am wearing a size smaller in clothes. So I do have an NSV.

Starting Wt ... 254

Current Wt ... 213

I lost another 1.5 pounds this week. I had a great one year surgiversary follow up with my dr and made his goal of my ideal weight at 138. I keep inching up and down a pound so we will see what the next few weeks bring. I hope I make my personal goal by Labor day!

Started two weeks ago, been up and down a little but lost another two pounds this week. Total lost since starting the challenge: 5 1/2 pounds. Almost ten months out and it's slow (but sure) from here.

NSV: Able to do sit-ups again! Am exercising daily and that's helping a lot. Only 29 days left in this challenge though, and I still have 14 1/2 pounds to go to meet my goal. Arggh.

Hi all!

SW: 164 CW: 159 GW:149

I made some progress this week. It's a surprise considering I took a week off from running because my knees were giving me problems. The rest paid off! :) I hiked Mist Trail in Yosemite on Friday. It was awesome! So much so that I'm heading back on Thursday with a couple of friends. AND this morning I ran 6.5 miles in 75 minutes. Yeah' date=' I'm not breaking any speed records, but had a great run after a week of rest. Yay NSVs to balance out slow weight loss. :)[/quote']

SW: 164. CW: 156 GW: 149

I was down to 154, but then I popped up two pounds. Grumble, grumble. My NSV for this week is I bought my first piece of clothing that is sized in the single digits! I haven't done that since high school. It's a great feeling. Yosemite with the friends was phenomenal. I'm going back this Friday to do the Yosemite Falls hike. They are the tallest falls in north America. Hopefully I'm able to get to the top. I also did the color run on Saturday. I love living! Only two weeks left until my summer break is over. I'm going to squeeze in as much as possible!! :)

Good luck everyone. See ya next week!

Count me in. I'm a new sleever' date=' 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. :)
