***LOSE 20-30 lbs BY JUNE 1ST***please post info in new thread

Hello guys and gals,

I'm back and I would like to start another challenge.  Last time when I did the "lose 10-15lbs" challenge, it helped me tremedendously -- I've actually lost 11 pounds during that month and a half.  I haven't reached my ultimate goal weight yet, and therefore would like to propose another challenge to keep each other motivated.  This time, I would like to challenge those interested to lose about 20 pounds by June 1st.  June = SUMMER!  We have exactly 17 weeks if we begin weigh-in's on this coming Sunday.  20 pounds in 17 weeks sounds like a reasonable goal right?  YES, we can do this!  I'll start:


SW: 170

CW: 125

GW: 105

Height: 5'2.5''

Anyone care to join?  Official weigh-in's will begin this Sunday, Feb. 10th.  Let's do this everyone!

It would be great if everyone can edit their post to add the list of weigh-in days and update each week so I can easily keep track:

1. Feb 17 = 125.8
2. Feb 24 = 127.0
3. Mar 2 = 127.0
4. Mar 9
5. Mar 16

We have a final count of 50 eager participants in challenge. Since the minimum average weight loss goal for each person is 20 pounds (with some wanting to lose 15 pounds, while others 30 pounds), together we should lose at least 1000 pounds.  This is a group challenge, and therefore, everyone will be held responsible for reaching this goal weight loss.  Good luck and let's keep each other motivated...yah!

PS:  If I'm missing anyone, please leave me a message and I will gladly add you.  Thanks again.


Week 1 -- Together, we have lost 64.5 pounds/940.0 pounds.  Go US!  The person who has lost the most weight is *** kevin_k *** -- losing 7.5 pounds in just 1 week -- very nice.  (I have to go now, job interview coming up, but I will update more -- and by the way, I'm quite impressed with the attendance for the first week and overall, everyone has done great.  I'm thinking of a penalty for those who haven't lost anything this week..lol )

Week 2 -- We have an overwhelming number of participants at this point.  The group will now officially close.  I just want to give a big welcome to all those who have just joined us. Since we have so many people, I realized that I have made mistakes in numbers here and there.  Please kindly correct me.  Also, I would really appreciate it if everyone can post their weigh-in and how much they have lost since the challenge.  Also, it would be great if everyone can just edit their original post when they weigh-in instead of making a new one -- it gets a little bit confusing for me. I see some of you guys already doing that and it has been really helpful.  So thank you for that. After 2 weeks of no weigh-in, I will take your name off the list unless you let me know.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have, the biggest loser for the challenge so far is: CHERRYWILD -- who had lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks, congrats. Everyone is doing great, keep up the hard work and motivation.

I missed the Feb 24 weigh in. Oops! I weighed Monday the 25th instead, and updated my post on page 3.

Keep going everybody!

 

If you could take me out of the challenge that would be great .  Thanks:)

How is everyone doing so far?  I'm doing good. Eating healthy and all.  Been alittle stressed out the last few days but I'm trying to stay on track and stay focused. It's hard when you have other things to worry about.

Hi everyone,

wow, i'm exhausted...just got done with billy's core express workout amped -- that felt good. i love billy blanks -- simple moves yet effective. i would highly recommend it.

it's that TTOM for me though -- so i'm trying to drink more water than usual, that's my goal for this week.

as a side note, i just wanted to say -- hang in there. i'm so glad you guys are here and that we're all doing this together.

since there have been more participants than i anticipated, i'm thinking of changing the format for posting the results.  i will simply post the total weight loss for each person. for example, if someone has lost 5 pounds in total since the challenge, it will say 5/20 next to that person's name since our goal is 20 pounds minimum. i hope that's okay with everyone. so it would be great if you can calculate your total weight loss each week that you weigh in.

again, keep up the good work and don't be too stressed out. we're taking this one step at a time. before you know it, it will be summer and we will be looking greater than ever...yay..GO US..cheers everyone.

Haha, I just finished a cardio kickboxing class. Although billy blanks wasn't teaching it, it was still intense, haha. Keep the water retention at bay!! Good call with the water.

Hopefully I won't wake up too sore tomorrow!

Weigh in - less than 3 days!

I am having a hard time getting motivated. Too much stuff.

Does anyone have a suggestion for how to plan time for yourself into the day?  I feel like I need to set time aside to plan what to plan for.

Need to buy some lollipops, because life ...

Loss this week: -3lbs     Total Loss: -8.4lbs

Edited my post #51 with my stats. I bought a new scale because I wanted a digital scale to better see my losses and it has me 2 pounds heavier!!!! LOL Just my luck!!

Hi everyone,

Just another friendly reminder that today is weigh-in day.  I see that some of you already have done that -- thanks!  I will update everyone's info tomorrow to give everyone a chance to weigh-in.  Wow, it has already been 3 weeks since we started this challenge.  Nice! 

Have a wonderful Sunday.

I've created an official weigh-in thread.  If everyone could please copy and paste their info in the new thread, that would be really much appreciated. Thanks all.

My apologies, but I'm new to this.  Where is the new thread you've created, and how do I get to it?
