Memorial Day Challenge...

[angeleyes]

Hello......
As I posted on the Induction Forum.....I am starting a challenge to last until Memorial Day. I so DO NOT WANT ANOTHER FAT SUMMER!!! As well as needing to lose for health reasons.
Anyone interested in being a part of this challenge...just come on in at anytime. If not....I guess I will do it alone. But, IT WILL BE DONE.
I am 53 years old and it is time.
Lets see, I ate so many Christmas cookies while at work yesterday that I was in a sugar ozone ALL DAY. Then I went home and of course felt to bad to cook...so, I ordered a Pizza (sausage & pepperoni) and while watching "THE BIGGEST LOSER" the dog and I (yah, right) ate the WHOLE PIZZA!!! I got so ill, my heart was racing and I was light headed and I had to confront myself about what I was doing to myself....I prayed to just make it through the night and the STUPID WOULD STOP....well, it has now stopped!!!


I am 217 this morning and I want to be 150 by Memoral day....I dont think that is unreasonable. THIS IS A MUST!!!

Well, gotta run and get my salad for lunch.......... see ya.

Memorial Day is on May 28th, a monday. That is approximately 24 weeks away. I am SURE we can make a HUGH dent in our "problem" by then. What a great way to face the summer.
I dont figure there will be any hard set "rules" to follow here. I am starting by weighing in daily.....but will change to weekly after a few weeks. I need to do this so that I don't keep putting it off from day to day...you know....saying aw heck, I can have that candy bar....I dont have to lose more until next week...I can make up for it.... Well, if I do it daily (even if there is no loss) I cant do that dumb little trick. I "NEED" to do this sooooooooo bad, that is why I am starting now instead of Jan. I could do sooooooooo much damage by then and I think 67 lb. is enough for me to attempt to drop without adding more. I will try to drop in here daily, although weekends are alittle harder, I will still try.

You know, I usually don't tag myself into long term commitments, okay other than the one with my DH (lol)...but we're making plans to hit the west coast again next summer along with meeting up with relatives (his) from the east coast (who are coming out here next summe). So, guess who needs to get their fanny in gear and get/keep crackin on taking care of themselves? Yep, me. So, count me in, Vicki.

Ok, I am almost afraid to make a statement about how much I want to lose...I do not want to under declare and I do not want to over declare, but dang, I am just gonna go for it.......

I want to be to total goal by Memorial day.....I am going to give it my best effort and drink the water water water...for skin elasticity. If I don't make it that far, then at least I will be a heck of a lot closer than I am now. I am in!!!!!!

God Bless you Vicki. I am 47. We older girls need as much help as we can get. Are you married? I am not. We older single girls really need to stick together.

I have a goal for July 7 of losing 50 pounds of fat. (I may gain muscle so its not total weight loss) My daughter is coming back from a year in China then. Ultimate goal = 20% body fat. So, 6 - 7 pounds of fat per month til then, which means 36 - 42 pounds of fat by Memorial Day!!!! That's my goal.

I'm IN!
