Labor day Challenge Monday Weigh-in

Start weight (June 18) 254

GOAL: 240 (by Labor Day)

• WEEK 1 (June 23): 250.5. Got over my period this week and experienced the typical (for me) several-pound-drop at the end, which makes up for the miniplateau I get during it. Also worked my tail off this week.
  
• WEEK 2 (June 30): 249. On track!
  
• WEEK 3 (July 7): 249. Bad week - repairs to pipes in our apartment have necessitated eating out more than normal.
  
• WEEK 4 (July 14): 248-ish. Forgot to weigh today. Was 248 on Sunday and 245.5 on Tuesday. (Water loss for sure.)
  
• WEEK 5 (July 21): 244! Well, this was the end-of-period several-pound loss again. 4 pounds in 6 weeks sounds pretty do-able. Maybe I should rearrange my goal. :D :D
  
• WEEK 6 (July 28): 242. Things are proceeding apace.
  
• WEEK 7 (Aug 4): ?  Weight was fluxuating a lot this week.  I got 240.5 one day, and 243.5 two days later.  See week 8 for details on why.
  
• WEEK 8 (Aug 11): 243.  Bleh.  A little backstep caused by a number of things.  A little overeating, a little less activity (pulled a muscle in my hip :/), and a little of the monthly thing.  Back on the exercise wagon as of yesterday, though - my hip is healed, I think.  And being a little more careful about the food - took the candy off my desk for one thing ;).
  
• WEEK 9 (Aug 18):
• WEEK 10 (Aug 25):
• LAST weigh-in (Sept1):

Goal weight for Sept 1st: 240.

Labor day Challenge   Monday Weigh-in

Start weight (June 18) 152

GOAL: 140  (by Labor Day)

• WEEK 1  (June 23): 152... I've hit a plateau... I started this all in April as 162 and have been gradually going down until now so I'm determined to finally break this almost 2 week plateau of mine so that next week I see some loss.

      GOAL: Sept 1: 199 lbs.

I'm down 3.5 to 136.5 this week. Which means I've already passed a third of my 10 lb goal for this challenge. My final goal is 125 lbs, so I may attempt to reach that by September, although I'll till be really happy with 130 :)

You all are doing GREAT!!!...unfortunately, I'm not.  I'm stuck with 119.  I'll try to bump my cardio to 5-6 times a week, coz I was only doing 3 days alternately with weight/strength trainning.  Hopefully I'll see results.

I had such a great time, and great results, with my previous challenge, so I hope this challenge keeps me just as motived!  I actually pulled myself out of bed at 5 a.m. this morning to do my Biggest Loser Cardio workout DVD, so it must be doing something already! :)

Hey count me in.  I have started and stopped so many times I can't count anymore.  I'm 52 years old, female, 5'10 and 333 lbs.  My goal is to drop 20 pounds by Labor Day.   I can use all the help I can get.  I know what to do to achieve it.  It's just doing what I know I should that I'm having a problem with.

June 23rd weight:  183.5! I have already gained 2 pounds. Dang the weekend!   It WILL be gone by next weigh-in. Good luck to all of you!

I'm ready to give this a shot!

Struggling to get the exercise in with classes starting...I guess good grades are more of a priority for me right now.  I will try to keep up with walking on my lunch break from work. Even so, I did make progress last week...YEAH!!!
