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!

Awesome Stefani!!! Details please details!!!!

Awesome Stefani!!! Details please details!!!!

Prior to last week I was just being more aware of what I was eating and would think "oh well that's not too bad" but I guess it was. I started keeping my carbs under 25 per day. I always cook chicken, turkey or seafood and veggies. Eating my Protein first I may get a bite or two of the veggie as I get full off of the meat first. That has helped tremendously. It sounds hard but once you get started the end result is the same eating baked chicken as if it was pizza, and that's full and satisfied! I try to get in as much Water as possible and I do exercise 3-5 times a week but I was doing that before I started this. Let me know if you have any questions!

That is so awesome! You are going to pass your goal by a lot!!! Thanks for sharing details :-)
