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!!!

That will be my final weight I have been working to achieve since I started this journey almost a year ago. I'm pretty confident I should be able to achieve this within the next month- let's hope anyways. I will be seeing my baby brother (15 yrs younger) August 11th, haven't seen him in about 2 years. He's been in law school very busy, graduated this past May. We live 8 hrs apart, and are meeting up near Des Moines for a National car racing event he attends every year to hang out.

Nobody in my family knows I had surgery, and due to the distance I live from all my family, I haven't seen anyone since last Fall. They did notice I had lost weight and thought I looked good then. Boy would they be shocked if they saw me today.

I plan to play a little trick on my brother by spotting him before he sees me and doing a "walk by" from behind him to see if he recognizes me- don't think he will. Then, do a turn around a few feet past him and say, "Hi stranger!" Just so I can watch his reaction. He is going to be just amazed!! Can NOT wait!! The only thing that would make it more sweet is if I had someone to video the event. LOL I may try to arrange that if I can find a stranger willing to do it for me since we will be at a big car event... How fun!!!

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' date=' especially if it wasn't PINNED.

Just saying.... doesn't make any sense.[/quote']

I'm having it fixed and pinned. Sorry for the confusion. I sent Alex the link so hopefully it will be moved and pinned soon.

Was shocked when I saw the scale this morning- dropped 2# overnight. That's in addition to what I had already lost. Amazed, happy, ecstatic, all those adverbs!! This has been an especially stressful week with work and I think that is actually why I had such a large weight loss this week. I was recently moved under a new boss who has a history of having issues working with women, particularly direct reports. The last two women quit while working for her because of the problems. I fear I may have the same fate in the future.... Not a good way to lose weight, but I'm not going to let her drive me to my old way of dealing with stress!!
