Labor Day is September 3rd so we have 8 weeks and 4 days in this challenge. How much do you want to lose?

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 am going to shoot for a revised goal of 235 by labor day gonna really kick it into high gear this week joined the YMCA yesterday super stoked I love my sleeve! Congrats to all!

7/6/12 -- SW - 209

8/7/12 -- Birthday Goal to reach Onederland

9/3/12 -- GW - 195

• increase water intake to 80+ oz day
  
• increase pace from walking to jogging
  

Well, I didn't make goal. I weighed in today at 197.

HOWEVER -- I did achieve a previously unidentified goal -- I didn't freak out or start my negative self-talk when I went through a 4-week stall at the 200 lb mark. I just continued to eat right, drink my liquids, exercise and I allowed the process to happen.

Am I losing as fast as I'd like - NO; am I stressed about it -- NO.

I feel great and I am healthier and happier than I've been in years. I will reach my ultimate goal -- but the time line is adjustable.

I've joined the Halloween Challenge, my first 5K is on 9/22, I am in Onederland and I've reached the Century Mark, and I am increasing my liquids to 1 gallon a day-- All is well this Labor Day Weekend.

Well, I'd have to lose a lot by morning, so i'm going to go ahead and throw in the towel on this challenge. I know I was shooting high so i'd make decent progress, so i can't complain about 16 lbs, huh? I did get into the wedding dress too, so i'm happy

So tonight I weighed in @ 282I didn't make it to 279 I but I am so happy I lost 21 freakin pounds so excited! I am in for the next challenge is there a seperate post or do we use this one??

So, I didn't reach my goal. I had set what I would consider an ambitious goal in hopes I would get there. Struggled the last month and just when I got in the routine of working out, I was hit with a terrible cold and sore throat that knocked me down for about a week. Getting to work was about all I could do.

Am I disappointed I didn't reach my goal? Sure. Am I going to let it stop me? No. While the scale might not have been going down, my clothes got baggier and I was able to buy some more regular women's department clothes instead of plus size!!!

Congratulations on everyone's continued success.

SW: 243.6

Challenge Starting Weight: 190.4

Last weigh-in: 170

Today: 168.8

Lost this week: 1.2

Labor Day Challenge Goal: 175, revised to 169, revised again to 169.6

So in 8 weeks of this challenge I lost 21.6 lbs (2.8 per week). I'm joining the Halloween challenge, but I am getting closer to goal so I will still be conservative on my goal, like 1.8 per week. Good luck everyone and see you on the Halloween board.

This is my original post at the beginning of the challenge:

CW: 148.6

GW: 145

TL: 3.6

Also:

continue eating healthy

Protein's first

Eat more veggies

Low carb (from veggies only)

No Chips (cheetos especially)

Increase exercise

we can do this!

I didn't make my challenge but had made some improvements.

I had increased my veggie intake.

I have increased my exercise.

I have had a few cheetos here and there. But I'm ok with that.

I weighed in this morning at 149.2.

So I didn't make 145 lbs. I'm not really sad about it, but am still going to work to hit that mark even if it takes me a year.

I am working on eating healthy, organic and clean. I am working on staying away from processed foods. I am even going to start preparing my own food just so I know what's in the food. This is part of my eating healthier lifestyle.

Congrats to all for a job well done........ CHEERS!

Count me in too! I thought a lot about this one. I don't want to set my goal too high' date=' but I want to push myself as far as I can. So... I want to finsh the couch to 10k program and I want to lose 16 pounds.

I accomplished both my goals!

SW: 164 CW: 148 GW: 149

I didn't see that one happening as I had two stalls. The last one went on for three weeks.

I finished the couch to 10K program and I ran my first 10K! On Sat I ran my longest run yet- a little over 9 miles!
