Second, Third, Fourth. Etc./Summer Meltdown Challenge - Phentermine.com

LZ · May 30th, 2008, 09:47 AM

Welcome all. My name is LZ and I am a foodaholic. Only through constant diligence can I lose and someday hopefully maintain a healthy weight. I have been seriously battling my weight since 3/2006. I was down to my goal of 138 as recently as two months ago according to my Dr’s scale but have had been at odds with the scale for all of the usual reasons and excuses since then. This morning I am down to 149.8, so my starting weight will be

150!

More than likely, if you are on this forum, you have tried losing weight more than once. You can substitute your number for the etc. in the name of the challenge. I’m sure a lot, like me couldn’t even begin to estimate the number. Mine is probably at least the 99th .

This challenge will run from 6-1 with the last weigh-in due by Sunday, August 31st.
Feel free to join anytime, but please make a commitment to follow through.

Provide your beginning weight as soon as you can. First week weigh-in will be from 6/6-6/12. This week everyone can pick the day of the week they like to weigh the best. Everyone should have at least the following goals for this challenge.

1. Weight loss of a certain number of pounds. Mine is 12; 1 for each week.
2. Drinking certain number of ounces of water per day. Mine is 75 ounces or ½ my body weight.
3. Exercise – very important! I will do 45 minutes of exercise at least 4 times per week. Set your own goal based on your history and ability. Strive to increase your exercise over time.

If you have other goals you would like to set also list them. I will track the weight, but each week when you post your weight let us also know how you’re doing on your other goals. For me, I need to post daily whenever possible to keep myself accountable. My other goals include.

• If I bite it, write it! I need to keep myself accountable by writing down every bite that goes into my mouth. I do too much mindless snacking.
• Reduce my waist size by 3 inches. Starting measurement 34”.

Each Sunday I will post a challenge for the following week. It might be a certain exercise or food to try. Feel free to PM me any suggestions.

Finally, introduce yourself. Share as much as you are comfortable sharing.

Final weigh-in for challenge - 190
water - 60 oz each day I know that doesn't seem like a challenge but believe me for me it is huge.
Exercise - 30 minutes 4 times per week.

CDCreations · May 30th, 2008, 02:53 PM

Hey LZ, I'm here!!! I'm scared to even find out what I weigh now, haven't gotten on the scales in quite a while, but know from the way my clothes are fitting that I've gained (they used to hang and bag on me, and now they fit fine!) So I'll get on the scale and give my starting weight over the weekend, along with my personal bio -- let's get this party started!!

Pooh79 · May 30th, 2008, 03:56 PM

Okay here it goes.

I am 28 soon to be 29 in September. I am married and have a 10 year old daughter and a 6 year old step-son. My work requires no physical activity. I was always chubby as a little kid and thinned out some when I hit puberty but always thought of myself as fat. I haven't seen the 100s since I was 16. My biggest weakness are sweets. Hubby and I would like to have a baby together and are shooting for sometime next year which is a great motivator for me to loose all this weight.

So here are my goals for Summer 2008 Challenge:

1. Loose at least 25 lbs (around 8 lbs a month) CW 253 (will Edit on Sunday if needed)
2. Walk 3 miles in the morning 4 x a week.
3. Do 45 minutes to 1 hour of cardio 5 to 6 times a week.
4. Drink at least 80 oz of water a day.
5. Weigh myself only once a week (this one will be very very hard!)

Oh I'll weigh in on Fridays.

JustCallMeTan · May 30th, 2008, 09:18 PM

Oh here we go!

1. my start weight for this challenge is 260 lb.
2. My goal is to loose 3 pounds each week thats 36 poubds total
3. 100 oz, of water per day, for me thats five 20 oz. water bottles.
4. No more than 1200 calories a day
5. No eating after 6pm.
6. 1 hour at the gym 4x a week
7. take the steps at work ( lord pray for me lol )

Ok those are my goals. I will weigh in on fridays.

Now a lil about me, My name is Tanya but all my friends call me Tan hence the handle just call me tan!. I work at a hospital 12 hour shifts. I am loosing weight to become healthy. At my job I am seeing more and more overweight people as large as 700 lbs and i dont want to be like. so here i am here with my new phen fam.

4mami_mia · May 30th, 2008, 09:50 PM

happy68 · May 30th, 2008, 10:19 PM

This should motivate me, so I'm in.

Hi, my name is Yolanda ( nickname Yogie ) I live in Pennsylvania. My weaknesses are chocolate, and mt dew sodas. I slacked off the sodas, but I still have chocolate now and than. I have been athletic since 5th grade but after my 3rd child I became lazy and never lost the pregnancy weight. Its been 3 years. I hope to get rid of my back fat, and this huge fat on the back of my neck.

My goals are:
1) To work out at least 5 days a week
2) To make better food choices
3) To learn not to stress out because I'm not losing fast enough
4) To drink no less than 80oz of water per day
5} To be a size 9 by september

Good luck y'all

Hey girlies. I'm back. LZ- thank you sooooo much for starting this. I actually made an appointment yesterday for a clinic here in town. I go in on Monday to weigh-in.

1. Weight loss-20 pounds...totally doable for me.
2. 100 ounces of water per day...again, doable...a little harder
3. Exercise- 30 minutes per day...doable..but will be hard since I haven't been so good about working out in a few...months.

I think only a few of you that are still on here know me.

I've been on this site for...2 years? Maybe 3? I started out originally at 230+. I *think* that I'm about 215 right now. Maybe more. At one point I was down to 184. There's really no excuse for me gaining back the weight. I've had an emotional year...but that's no excuse. As I said before, I'm going to the weigh-loss clinic on Monday, so I will weigh-in then, and we'll go from there.

Nice to meet you all.
