SW -- 156.2
GW -- 145
HT -- 5'8"

My goal here is to NOT gain anything over the summer. I'd like to lose another 8-10 pounds, but I'm not going to stress over that. I've got enough stressors already (which seem to have put me in a permanent chocolate craving haze), so I'll be satisfied to stay where I'm at right now until I get past everything else

I'm doing this because, well, just because my frame can carry 220 without looking ghastly, doesn't mean I need to weigh that much. I don't make many goals as I am a brilliant self-saboteur -- but I want to be/stay healthy.

SW = 170.6

Goal = 150

I'm adding to that wonderful list of "WHY'S" I HAVE to do this:

1.  I want to keep up with my kids

2.  I don't want to say "no" when my children ask to do something because I'm uncomfortable with the way I look

3.  I don't want to become a "shut in" (I've stayed home from parties because some of my friends have lost tremendous amounts of weight and now i'm the pudgy one!)

4.  I still want to catch the eye of others~hey, don't we all like to get that "second look" from a stranger for the RIGHT reasons?!

5.  **I NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR ME!**

Starting weight:  168.6

Not putting goal weight~I'm taking one week at a time!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE~HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

ok, here we go!

• Ht: 5'3"
• SW 148
• CW 145
• GW 130
• BMI 25.7
• Age 38

i am putting detailed measurements on my home page in a journal entry, since i think it's a little more pertinent than the weight.  i'll be updating it every week.  be well, y'all!

Here is my starting weight.

SW 237

CW 223 ( this is my Labor Day Goal)

My final goal weight is 137

Janice

Starting Weight  = 163

Challenge Goal for Labor day = 148    and that would take me to exactly where I wanna be!

 

Good Luck starting off everyone!

I'm the same as spedteach!

Start Weight = 163

Goal = 148

But my ultimate goal is 8-10 more pounds after that! But 15 pounds between now and Labor Day ought to be enough work.

Good luck everyone.

Z-Dame's stats:

Height/Frame: 5'1"/Medium
Age: 30 1/2 (I'll turn 31 next month!)
SW: 135
GW: 115-120

I hope to weigh at least 115 lbs by my wedding day on Sept 6th, '08 which is the weekend after Labor Day!

We can do it, peeps! ;)

 

Start Weight = 180.5

Goal Weight for Labor Day = 160

some of my reasons to do this, in addition to those listed above:

1. so my young children grow up in a healthy home
2. to feel sexy around my husband
3. to have a totally new wardrobe -- my old "skinny" clothes -- without breaking the budget
4. to feel confident and professional at work

Height/Frame: 5'1"/Medium
Age: 28
SW: 138.8 (I was down to 137.6 Friday but didn't eat well the last few days.)
GW: 130

I have my goal kind of high because I am trying to gain muscle and loose fat. I will probably get down to 120 or 125 before I'm through but once I get to 130 I am not going to be as concerned with weight but more with size and how I feel.

I have come a long way already. I have lost 60 pounds since July 3, 2007. You can look at my profile pics for before and after photos.

 

Height: 5'1"

Age: 18

SW: 131.4

Goal weight by September 1st: 110lbs

A little bit more than a lb a week - just trying to reach for the stars here! :D

OK, so it's Tuesday morning now, and our group has closed. 

So you know a little bit about me from the original forum post, but here are my stats:

Height: 5'4"

Age: 43

Start weight (Jan 2, 2008) 215

Current weight 184 (I have recently gained back some weight--May is incredibly stressful for me)

Goal for the challenge? First, not to gain weight over the summer. Ideally I'd like to lose 15 pounds over the summer.

Ultimate goal weight: 135 

Stats:

Height 5'5"

Age: 23

Start Weight: (December 17, 2007): 286.4

Current Weight (and start weight for this challenge) 251.6

I would love to lose 15 pounds this summer! Still have 12 days of school left....

Height 5'7"

Age 38

Current Weight  155

Sorry, just got internet access back today.  This morning's Weign-in 234!

SW - 190

GW - 160

HT - 5'7"

SW - 167.6

GW - 149.0

HT - 5' 9 1/2"

I apologize for not posting my weigh in yesterday.

CW: 216

GW: 185 by Labor Day, about 10 pounds a month.

Age: 30 (until this Thursday, May 29) Height/Frame: 5'4"/Large SW: 200 (07.02.07) CW: 152.50 (5.26.08) GW: 134

With my upcoming birthday, this past weekend was a challenge and this week is proving to be no different...but I will overcome the temptations and succeed (and at the very least, not gain!). My ultimate goal weight is 134; however, I'm up for a big reward when my BMI is no longer over 25 (144 pounds), which will happen somtime between now and Labor Day.

My three biggest reasons to loose weight: 1. To be Healthy and a Healthy Role Model for myself and Family 2. My Wedding Day (date TBD, perhaps before Labor Day) 3. To get Pregnant and have a Healthy Baby (once the I Do's are done, its off to try and start a family).

Smiles, Dacia

Sorry about the delay - I was moving all weekend (into a new apartment!)

SW 179.8

Goal:....165 by Labor Day.
