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!!!

Exercise will be a no go.. I screwed up my knee 2 weeks ago and it still isn't better. I am bummed because I was just recently released to do exercises. I had just started my elliptical again then tripped and fell and I have been limping ever since. I am thinking I am going to have to break down and go to the doctor. If it isn't better by next week, I will have to go.

Definitely go to the doctor, you don't want to cause any further injury. Good luck in Vegas...hope your a winner!

You can't go wrong by cutting carbs..I can't believe it..I am only 1.4 pd from my goal. I think I'm going to make it!

I'm in!!! Sleeved 7/17/2012

Peacequeen ~ you will make it! Congrats! It's wonderful to reach our goals..... yayyyyyyyyyyy!

Count me in.

Starting weight: 213

Goal weight: 198

That will put me in onederland for the first time in like 18 years. Also' date=' I want to get my water in everyday. I just forget about drinking. Good luck guys[/quote']

Well I hit my goal 2 weeks ago. I just continued on lol. I'm down to 195. I have about 40 more pounds to go. Hope to be there by thanksgiving. Good job everyone and good luck on the finale of the challenge

Well....thanks to multiple muscular injuries in my left hip/leg, I likely won't hit my Labor Day goal (to get to 250 lbs).

I'm actually ok with that, though.... I mean... I've lost 47 pounds, and will be fewer than 5 pounds short of meeting my goal!! I have no reason to complain about a 47 pound loss, in roughly 10 weeks! LOL (And the goal set was, in truth, a "stretch" goal...I had no reason to expect I would actually go from 302.4 to 250 in just 10 weeks!! LOL)

Moving on to the Halloween weight loss challenge....to get down to 235!

Wishing everyone great success!

Way to go!!! That is an incredible loss!!!

Our final weigh-in is tomorrow. Someone already started a Halloween challenge a week ago. It is called: Halloween Contest October 31 2012. They are weighing in on Saturdays, but I will most likely weigh in on Wednesdays since Halloween falls on that day. Also, it will let me recover from any indiscretions from the weekend. Lol! I'll be hopping on there Wednesday after this challenge is over. I hope to see you all on there. Good luck on the final weigh in. Woo! Hoo! Labor Dayers!!!!
