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!

This is the last weekend for the Labor Day challenge!! Have fun this weekend with things other than food!!! Try to make it about family, friends, and FUN!!!

Don't worry if you won't reach your 8 week goal for Monday! Hang in there and see if you can lose at least 1 pound this weekend!! That will be a victory for all of us - to lose weight over a holiday weekend!!

Good luck!

I'm in!

I totally agree with starting a Halloween Challenge!

Ok so I'm sorta cheating, but today I weigh 196!!! Hit my goal a day late :P

Got a new scale and I'm 175.5... Yippee! made it to my Labor Day Goal!

I was 3 pounds short of my goal. But a total loss of 22 pounds.

Goal was 170. Made it to 171.8 after stalling for over a month. But I'll take it.

Hey Ima,

Will you be setting up a Halloween Challenge? I would love to join if you do!
