Labor Day Challenge

There are officially 55 days left of summer... 7 weeks and 5 days until Labor Day... How much weight will "fall" off you before we fall into Autumn?

Pre Surgery Weight: 264lbs

DOS Weight (12.12.2012): 254lbs

Weight Today (07.09.2013): 181.8lbs

Goal Weight for Labor Day: 170lbs

By September 2nd I want to lose 11.8lbs.... I am hoping I am able to do this... Initially I wanted to challenge myself to be at 165lbs by my birthday which is Sept 5th... But I don't think I will make that and my birthday isn't really a national Holiday that everyone here can join me in the countdown till, so I figured we could do this Labor Day Challenge and cheer each other on!

I am not sure how to make a new page on the Google Doc Spreadsheet so if someone would like to add it I will post the link in the initial post for this challenge

I want in :). I am only 7 weeks out and have been increasing my exercise each week. I would like to set my goal at being down 20 pounds by Labor Day.

Count me in too. I've been on a long stall (3 months) with very small losses. I think I need some extra motivation while I train for my first 1/2 marathon walk (held on my 44th birthday, Oct. 20).
