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

Yes. I usually have to go back and either quote myself or recap my goals when I post my results so others can see my progress.

I'm in!

CW: 197

GW: 176

I also want to run a 5k in August.

Good luck to everyone!!

Up my protein, I get my water in, get up to 3 miles a day (it's been 100 out and I haven't been walking as much). Weight. Current 207 - Goal 185 pounds.

I want to hit the 100 lbs lost mark by my birthday which is 9/13 so I have 9 weeks and a few days to drop 45 lbs. which means 5lbs per week...soooo here goes.

Current Weight 385

Labor day Goal 345-350

Birthday Goal 340

Drink more Water, excercise more eat more Protein.

Ok...I'm in for this, my first "challenge"!

My birthday is September 1st, and I had set a dream goal to be at 250 by my birthday. I'll use that same goal for this challenge.

Starting weight (morning of surgery): 302.4

Current weight: 284.6

Weight to lose for challenge: 34.6 lbs

We'll see how well I do! :)

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm in!

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

I'm in too. I'm eight months out (nearly nine) and it's slowed down a lot... so I seriously need to kick-start everything again.

Wt loss Goal: 20

Exercise (ugh): 5x wkly

Good luck everyone!

Forgot to add a few things:

SW 192 1/2; GW 172 1/2

Keep Protein over 80; carbs under 50; cals around 900-1000.

Do we weigh in once a week on a designated day or just on Labor day?

Yay...love it!! Perfect timing...

SW 5/21: 250

CW: 215

GW: 195!

To be in onederland would be awesome! Will be a little tough since I'm spending 10 days in south Africa working/playing in aug, and will be in Brazil at the end of the challenge doing the same. Anticipating a potential tough time!
