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!!!

No change for me this week. Still in my stall, but rather be in a stall the beginning of this challenge rather than the end. Congrats to all the losers this week!

230 to 228.4,,down 1.6

Oh yeah, it's on!

10 days post op and this will be my first challenge...

HW: 245

Surgery 6/25/12: 232

SW 7/5/12: 219

GW 9/3/12: 180

Cardio 5 days/week

50-80 g Protein daily

60-80 oz liquids daily

Onederland, here I come!

215.4 on 7/9

Getting my liquids, protein and maintaining my cardio schedule

Why did the holiday weight loss challenge get put in this grouping? It's been in the General Sleeve Discussion forever? That's where everyone always knew to go find it, especially if it wasn't PINNED.

Just saying.... doesn't make any sense.

My 35th birthday is on Labor Day. So I guess mine will be a birthday challenge too. I would love, love, love to make it to onederland, but my weight loss has greatly slowed down. I guess I will say 20# and if I can get more than that, it will be great.

HW 335

SW 239 (7/4/12)

GW 219 (9/3/12)

Only 1# down this week. I am going to try to start drinking more water. I never get in my fluids. I am also going to add lemon; it is a diuretic and also makes you absorb 1/3+- less carbs (glycemic index). So here goes...let's see how the next 7 days go :0)

Lets do this...count me in...

Highest weight: 699

Starting weight : 670

Surgery weight(7/2/12) : 650

Current weight : 626 (1 week out)

Goal weight : 525

Lets go for a full 100 pound loss...I'm a heavy weight and on my post op liquid phase will be swimming 2 hours/day as soon as incisions heal... I can do this...and so what if I aim for the stars but only hit the moon...

I'm ready to rock my new sleeve.

Well, I went through such a long stall that I was afraid to be too ambitious with my goal. I am revising my goal now to 250 by labor day. I don't want to set myself up for failure, but I also want to reach a huge goal for me.

Monday Check-In - 269.0

Weekly weight-in:

Maybe the person who started the challenge just didn't know...

Work out twice a day everyday!

Take my workout Outside and make sure my summer outings include great physical activity.

Thought I'd add another challenge, this one is really hard for me.

I will not step on the scale every day, only once a week.
