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!!!

Revised 199

Well I made my initial weight loss goal but not my revised. Overall I am down 21.8 pounds during the Labor Day challenge - which for me is great! Hope to see you all in the Halloween challenge!

Didn't make my goal... I'm at 183 pounds, down 9 1/2 pounds... but hey, that's more than I would have lost if I hadn't started the challenge. I'm ready for the Halloween challenge, goin' there now!

And a great big woo-hoo to all of you who not only met but exceeded your challenge goals!

CW- 139.2

GW-135

Well, I didnt do well this time. I had lost down to 137.4 but it came back with aunt flow yesterday. So, my final weigh in was 139.2. I lost 6 pounds during the challenge instead of 10. I am still 5 pounds from my personal goal of 134 and 100 pounds lost. I am going to Diva's boot camp and see if I cant drop some and lose the carb monster and finally make that goal. I need to start into maintenance soon because I am having plastics in November and I need to be stabilized at the weight I want to be instead of settling for my doctors goal of 139. Ultimately, I want to be between 125 and 130 after plastics, for the rest of my life. I think its doable but not easy. I will set up shop on the Halloween challenge! See you there!

Well, I missed my Labor Day goal by 2 lbs. it's like my body is holding on and afraid to let me get to 100 total loss. I think my new collar bones have scared the hell out of my body! LOL! But 18 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. PLUS, I dropped another dress size.

Going to shake up my routine and head over to the Halloween Challenge. Congrats everyone!!

I had already set a Labor Day goal for my weight and I'm thrilled to participate! I am at 247 and would like to be 216. I'm only a week post op so I'm not sure how the weight loss will be but I'm setting the goal and will reevaluate if needed. If I can meet it, it will be a huge victory for me as I haven't seen that weight since September 2006. I also want to exercise 4X a week for at least 30 minutes, drink a minimum of 64 oz of water daily, and consume 45 grams of protein daily.

I didn't make it to 216 but I couldn't be happier with where I am. On Labor Day, I was 224.0 and had lost exactly 50 pounds. What a wonderful milestone!! Can't wait to see 216 as that is my pre-pregnancy weight and where I was when I met my husband. After that...onederland will be knocking on my door!

I am so in!
