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!!!

This past Saturday I discovered ice water with loads of lemon. Evie Sleevie tolerated it very well and it moved the scale. Lots of NSVs every time I wear something. I LOVE my sleeve!

SW: 164. CW: 156 GW: 149

I was down to 154' date=' 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![/quote']

I MADE IT TO THE TOP! We made it up and down in 6 hours. I had a phenomenol time and I was only a little bit sore on Sunday.

I run my first 10k this upcoming Saturday. I have two more sessions on couch to 10k. I'm looking forward to achieving that goal.

Good luck everyone on making headway to their goal and congrats to those that have met their goal early. See ya next week!

On the first day of the challenge i was 195

Then i cruise on the 15th! I would love to be 175 by sept. 15!
