Memorial Day Challenge...

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Hello....Well technically I got it started, although I really do not have the time it takes to keep track of everyone and their individual weight...wish I did. Soooooo, if there is anyone interested in the job...please feel free to step up and "Getter Done". It is a good idea, but it would have to be someone that has the time on their hands to devote to it. If no one does, well, we can add up all who hang around and finish at the end of the challenge when it is over.
You see me mostly at work....I drop in and out....the computer at home is acting stupid most of the time or the old man has it tied up.

Well, I can keep the tabs if you wish. I work in Excel all day at work, I can start a spreadsheet to keep track.

What day is considered the start day of this challenge? And when are weigh ins supposed to be posted? Weekly? Bi-Weekly? Let me know, and have everyone re-post their starting weights/measurements as of today 12/12/06.

Thank you so much for the offer since I dont even think I will able to access from work now, the new server is set up to block all message boards and the like. Dont see why, it was not a matter of not getting our work done, I kept it minimized and checked back every now and then, it was not like I sat there and that was all I did....but, you know how they can be, our system has a new C.E.O. and you know how they can be.

Official start date was last Thursday.....I have been weighing in everyday but I would think an weigh in of once a week would be a good one.

Any input from anyone else would be great.

Well, gotta go for now, the old man is working on the computer.........

Thanks again
Vicki

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

OK then, starting date of 12/7 and any others who've joined after that. I will go through the thread and jot down names and starting weights of all who joined.

Anyone who hasn't posted starting weight and goal weights, please do so.

Good Luck everyone!

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

I'll only be weighing in every 2 weeks or so, so I don't go nuts! Hopefully by the end of induction I'll be back under 200 though *crosses fingers*. I've gotta set some mini goals so I don't procrastinate on the big one =).

List Of Ppl In Memorial Day Challenge

MEMORIAL DAY CHALLENGE 2007

OK, everyone who has signed up thus far, are on my list (see below). 15 people have joined (so far)

We welcome any latecomers!!!

I will keep tabs on weight loss when reported. (Either in the thread or you can PM me) I figure since technically the Memorial Day Challenge started on December 7, 2006 we will have our first weigh in on December 21, 2006. The second weigh in will be 2 weeks from that date - January 4, 2007.

I have read that some of you have already lost weight! Congrats! However, I will only record weights given for 12/21/06, our first official weigh in!!

If I don't have starting weight for you, could you please provide, thanks!!!!!

Good luck to EVERYBODY!!

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

My start weight is 85 kilo = 187 pounds
I want to lose 17 kilo by end of May = 38 pounds
So goal for end of May = 68 kilo or 149 pounds (UNDER 150 for first time since I was in high school!!!)

Thanks for keeping track for us Sher!

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Good Morning.......Looks like we are growing.....that is great. I really expect for more people to jump on board after the holidays. Well, it has been one week for me today and I am down a total of 5 lb......that feels great.

Hope all are well and keep on living the life.

Gotta go, gotta get ready for work.
Have a nice low carb day.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Good Morning fellow Challengers!

I was so tempted to get on the scale this AM, but I figured I should wait until the 21st. I might get a bigger surprise. My weight of 305 was from last Monday (12/4/06) I didn't re-weigh on the 7th, when this challenge started.

Hopefully I will make a dent in the 50 I want to lose!

Alot of you, if and when you reach your goal for the Memorial Day Challenge, that will be your ultimate goal weight. Me, my goal for this challenge of 50 lbs. will only put me at 255, with still a long weigh to go after that. Maybe after this Challenge is over, I'll make a Labor Day Challenge, then a Halloween Challenge, then a Thanksgiving Challenge....lol

Take it only one step at a time!!!!

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

I would like to join this challenge! I would like to be below 190lbs by Memorial Day. This past summer was so hot here. I would sweat through the backs of my t-shirts and it was really noticable. It was hot for eveyone but if you are carrying an extra 100lbs of fat it just makes it worse.

YAY MAGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your starting weight and what do you want your goal weight to be on Memorial Day? Let me know, I 'm kinda the one keeping track of it. Also, we will be weighing in every two weeks (if people want to say) starting with first weigh in on 12/21/06!!!

YAY!!!! CARBINATORS RULE!!! LMAO

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Hi everybody!

My weight in my siggy is wrong, Sher. It should be updated. Not your fault -- I just never updated the carbaholic relapse I had this summer.

My starting weight is 189. I would really love to be 160 by Memorial Day. That would be a 29 lb. loss. I am a very sloooooooooow looser. But I am certainly going to try to hit that goal.
