20 or less challenge

Mondays come so fast!!


2/19

I weigh 136 now and my long-term goal being 112. 24 pounds to go - my short term goal is 130 pounds though. Mind you, this post is rather late :P

Well, I am working on losing the weight I gained over Christmas and our trip to Chicago :P I think a lot of it was water weight. I was 124 last week, this week I am 120.6, so that's a 3.4 lb loss! My next mini goal is 115.

started at 154 


This week 152.6  :)

I wish I was doing as well as everyone else!!

2 weeks ago  I was down a pound; last week I was up a pound; and this week I'm back to my original weight, so my goal is still 6 lbs by March 12th.

This is a lot harder than I thought it would be : (   but I've enlisted the help of my roommate to keep me in check if I try to skip out on the gym or eat another cookie or something!!

Per the scales this morning, I am still holding fast at 130-132. I had a good week of eating, but not enough gym time- only 3 days. That won't cut it! Also, I had Sonic yesterday :(.

Today is a new day and a new week- I know I can do it. I plan on going to spin tonight and kickboxing Tuesday to get a jump start, and running the rest of the week.

Wish me luck!

Start Jan. 15th     -    151

Today Jan. 29th  -      147 

Start Weight Training tonight.  That's going to kick my butt. It will be worth it once it stops hurting right?  hehehe  Keep smiling everyone.

1/29/07 145.4! Last week 146.4. However, last Thursday I was down to 142!!!! Short-term goal is to be under 140. Long-term, under 130.

From 147.50 to 145.75. I can't believe I actually lost almost 2 lbs! Last week was my company's Holiday party (yes, we have them in January) and I drank and ate like crazy. And not happy with that, I had a big breakfast the next day (my cure for a hungover) of cheese and vegetable omelette with potatoes and toast (with butter.) Anyway, I'll behave better this week.

135.2 down from 138 yay!  I was so good this week!

Hi!

Start Jan 15th / Last Week / This Week / 1st goal / Final Goal

32.3% / 32.2% / 32.2% / 29% / 27%

Down 1 lb from last week, 2 lbs since joining Jan. 15th.  Almost made goal this week of 2100 calories/day at 2,146 calories / day.

Here's an excerpt from 10,000 Steps a Day to Your Optimal Weight:

The National Weight Control Registry reports that about 4500 adults (age 18 and older) who have lost at least 30 lbs and kept it off for at least a year routinely spend about 400 calories a day exercising, with walking being the most frequently used activity.  42% of those participants say that maintaining their weight loss has been less difficult than initially losing it.

This is what I'm doing - a walking program of about 20 miles/week.

Congratulations to everyone who's moving toward goal!

Starting Weight - 151

Hi, I just joined this.  I need to lose some weight.  Currently I fluctuate between 140 and 150.  I am only 5'1".  So my goal weight according to this site's calculating is 119.  I have a belly bulge i would like to get rid of any advise! 
thanks!

stay positive everyone. one week at a time!

After finding out my scale had been wrong for weeks, I'm straight now. Last week's weight 166 today 164.  Down two pounds.
