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!!!

I'm in! I didn't make my July 4th Challenge, but hopefully will make this one.

SW: 323

GW: 303 (20 lbs)

Also:

- Get back to drinking 100+ oz of water daily. Lately, I've been only getting in 80 or so.

- Get back to exercising at least 3 days per week. I haven't been to the gym in weeks

Seeing Twoterville would be nice, but I don't want to be too ambitious. My annual family reunion is Labor Day weekend. One of my original goals was to have 100 lbs lost by then. Making this challenge will put me there. Good luck, everyone! WE GOT THIS!!

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

I think we said Mondays since Labor Day is on Monday the 3rd. It will only be once a week so tomorrow will be the first weigh in. Good luck everyone!

Also, it's not mandatory for this challenge to weigh in weekly so if you prefer every other week, every third week, or once a month it's up to you. This is a short first week so I'm sure some people may want to wait until the following week. Anything works as long as we encourage each other.
