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!!!

Its TOM and I gained a pound. I am not changing my ticker in hopes I am back down next week. Getting this goal is really hard at the end of the journey. I have been this weight up and down for two weeks now. I sure hope I drop again soon. My personal goal and labor day goal is 135 and I sure would like to reach it and stay there!

Let's do this

Soooooo close to goal!! I can't believe it!

Kicking butt and taking names....I am 16 lbs from my Labor Day Challenge goal weight!!!

Starting weight 180

Goal weight 175 (literally goal weight, LOL!)

Pounds to go: 5

Well, nothing like starting a challenge and then dropping out of sight. But here I am, and I'm down a couple of pounds, losing typically slowly here at the very end. At least it's still coming off!!

Starting weight: 180

Goal weight: 175

Current weight: 178

Strategies that seem to be working:

1. Cut back on the cheese--my cheese-a-holic nature is still present, but I have tried to stay away from it on a few days, and I think that has made a difference.

2. Eating less in general--I haven't been all that hungry. Don't know if it's the heat or what--don't really care.

3. Staying busy and moving around. Exercise is still not happening, but we've been re-doing my office and getting an apartment and our guest room cleaned out, painted, and arranged, and that's some physical labor.

Goals for the next couple of weeks:

1. WATER. I am dehydrated. I need to focus on drinking even when I don't feel thirsty.

2. Greens every day. My lack of this now is just laziness on my part--I don't feel like cooking, because I'm not really all that hungry. But the nutrition benefits are worth the effort.

3. Stay busy, move around, burn calories. I'm not going to call it exercise.

Good luck, y'all! Love to see everybody pursuing their goals and having good success!!

Missed last week - hit initial goal of 210 today!!! So looks like I've averaged more than 2# per week recently! Woo-hoo

Going to set new goal at 199 (11# in 3 weeks)

A little more break through had ups & downs over last two weeks I've dropped 4 pounds making & keeping me @ 50 pounds. Was 52 but then I ate salty food & I'll have to keep working really happy though best decision ever thank you Jesus!!
