Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Lisa-my start weight is 254.1 and I am at 250.1 so 4lb loss. My goal for the challenge is 190lbs.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Orann-TOM? Did you eat anything salty. Just try increasing the water, increasing the exercise and keep away from the scale for a few days!

Edited-wait a second. You didn't weigh yourself first thing in the morning. You normally do that right? I can be up 5lbs on the scale if I weigh myself in the morning first and then at lunch. The time of day you weigh really does matter. Try to weigh at the same time(in bra and undies after going to the bathroom and before drinking any water).

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

I want to join in this challenge if it isn't too late. I count a little over 22 weeks until Memorial Day and I want to push myself to lose 70 pounds by then.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Welcome to the group! You have done such an amazing job with weight loss already! You should be really proud of yourself

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Upping the water today - despite the fact that I am floating away 90 % of the time !
No TOM here, haven't in about a year now. Nothing salty, but I'm staying off the scales for a short while !

I would like to lose 50-60 lbs by Memorial Day (If I start Dec 25...its 22 weeks, right?).

I will weigh-in again come Monday to get my true numbers.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Hey, if you see a ? mark by your name it's because there's no notation in the post that I can see your start and goal weight for the challenge. If you'd like to post it that would be great so it can be added. If you'd rather keep it private, that's fine to. Either way, please give a shout out to what you'd like to do.

That being said.....


I'm so glad we are all part of this challenge. It gives me a mental lift knowing that I can come here and share in the next 22 weeks (is that right?? lol...oh my!). I'm taking the day off from planned exercise today, but I'll be hitting it on Christmas morning because I'll need the deversion from the foods coming to our house by loving relatives. I hope they bring doggy bags because I ain't keep it all here! lol.

Oh..and one more thing...it's 2 days until Christmas! May we give ourselves THE best gift ever by taking care of us the best we can. Drink our water, exercise till we sweat, and smile in the mirror as we walk by while saying, "Hey, there, Sexy. How you doin'?"

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on in a few days. I am the one who is keeping track of people doing this challenge, thanks to those who updated lists. Awesome job to those who've lost. I will go through all posts (after Christmas) and give the fully updated lists with reported weight loss.

Merry Chrsitmas to ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Good morning everybody!

How did everybody do over the Christmas Holiday?

I hope everybody reports in that they did well!

[MaggieBE]

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

I did great both Christmas eve and Chrstmas day. Didn't even have any chocolate mousse Christmas day because I was already had enough. I weighed in today and I lost 2lbs. I'm not changing my signature line though until the offical weigh in. Most people gain during the holidays. I have lost.

I probably will not be posting anymore today. I like to post to others in the journal chats and just cannot right now. Spent the whole day running around a very busy Ikea. Now in a few minutes must put together two beds. They are meant to be bunk beds but can be used as two seperate beds or pushed together. We are going to push them together. We hope that our 2.5 year old child will sleep with her sister in this bed tonight. After we put this bed together we gotta go to mother-in-laws house to drop off the old bed, then back to Franks company to return the truck and load all the work stuff again. Then pick up the kids, bath time, etc. It is 640pm now. *yawn*

Hope that everyone else is doing ok. What gifts did you get? What foods did you eat? I posted my foods in journal stats if you are curious.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

I lost 3 pounds over x-mas, weighed in today at 206, woohoo! I'm going to update my sig cuz I like to see that little snail moving, lol, he really motivates me since that's what I feel like. Can't wait for January 4th now for the official weigh in, hehe.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Hello Everyone! Can I join the challenge? I think there are about 22 weeks untill Memorial Day. I guess if I put down 2 lbs. per week I should loose another 44 lbs. That would be AWESOME! What a birthday present to myself. My B-Day is May 27th. I would be SOOOOO happy!
