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!!!

It will. In the meantime fitness goals are great just like you are doing with the mile. I netted more calories yesterday than I have been and lost a half pound overnight. This tells me I need to up my net to 1,000 calories too. Great goal and I'll add this one to mine too. You've so got this, 175 here you come!

I've been at 202 for a few Weeks and it is so frustrating. I can't wait to hit the 100s.

I thought it was just me! I have been hovering around this 209/208 for a while now and am getting really irritated!
