Labor Day Challenge, Anyone? Down to the Wire...Over 200 Pounds GONE, bay-beee!

[Mr.BsMom]

Finally... Something to report! I lost another 2 pounds this week to bring me to 10/20. Somehow I don't think I'll make it to my goal for this challenge , but that's OK!! I'm very happy with what I've accomplished so far, and I'll continue to work towards my ultimate goal!

 

[CookieGVB]

Congrats!! We're up-to-date again.

Only a few more days to go.

How are you doing in this challenge that will end in a couple of days?

I really blew it, so with this admission, I'll just hang my head until the next challenge.

 

[CookieGVB]

Check out our first page - anyone who gave me their losses/gains/maintaining has their amounts up to date.

As a group, we've lost nearly 200 pounds, and I think that's TERRIFIC!!

200 pounds as a group is terrific. How wonderful for all of us. Keep up the good work. Only a few more days to go.

I've lost 1 more lb since I last checked in. This will be my final check in for this challenge since we're evacuating tomorrow AM for hurricane Frances.

I will finish this challenge at 3.5/5. Unfortunately, I didn't make my goal, but I did keep moving slowly downward! I'll try & do better on the next challenge.

Thanks, Cookie, for running the Labor Day challenge. It was fun to be a part of the challenge, & it helped to feep me focused on my goal & motivated to stick as close as I could to my eating plan.

Congrats on your loss, Nancy. You and Barry stay safe!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Well, after maintaining for about a month now I'm finally able to report a 1lb. loss! Woo Hoo! That will bring me to 3/10. I don't think I'll reach my goal, not even if I starved myself the next 3 days! I will weigh again on Monday though just to see if another pound might be gone. LOL

 

[dizneyfam]

Didn't quite make it, still 4/10. Better luck next time....Thanksgiving challenge that is.

 

[catherine]

I've maintained again this week so my total weight loss for this challenge is 13/20. I guess that I should be happy with the 13 pounda that I lost!

Thanks again Cookie for organising this challenge!

 

[CookieGVB]

Final weigh-in for me was this morning. Another 1.4 pounds down.

I didn't make goal, but I'm close enough, and that makes me happy.

Thanks to everyone for joining and participating - this was fun!

I'll keep updating until next Saturday, for the rest of our group.

Good luck to everyone!

0.5 down out of 10. Wishing isn't enough. have to figure out a better way to handle stress than eating sugar.

 

[sm4987]

I weighed in today for a final count. I weighed in at 136, two pounds below my goal. Thanks for the challenge!!!

I signed up for the Labor Day Challenge...think I was shooting for 20 pounds. Well, the first week I lost 3-4 pounds then I got sidetracked with moving issues (our house is for sale and we've been having lots of showings) and had to go out of state to check on our house that's being built there...so I just stopped weighing....I knew I had gained it back so I was afraid to weigh....well last week was officially 18 weeks before the marathon (I'm walking 1/2 one) and I had to get serious...so I let my husband write my weight down...I just want to lose pounds...I don't care what number I'm at...

Well, he weighed me today and I lost 4 pounds last week! Of course I have no idea of my starting weight so I don't know what I'm 4 out of...

My husband and I have a challenge...first one to lose 20 pounds gets to spend $500 on anything they want in the new house...I want a closet organizer and my husband will probably opt for some tools...but this motivates me and I don't have to know my weight...just how much I'm losing!

Thanks for the challenge!

Well, due to that out of town trip I didn't quite make goal, but on last official weighin on Friday I was down 4/7. That's 4 pounds gone toward my longterm goal, and I figure that if it comes off slowly, it's more likely to stay off, so I'll keep on keepin' on!

Thanks for helping me with added motivation!

[CookieGVB]

Congrats on your losses. The number we chose as a goal was an incentive to keep going, but any numbers lost are definitely a good thing.

 

[KimRaye]

I'm down 1/2 pound this week. I didn't make goal, but I'm pleased with the 8.5/10 that I did lose. (I knew 10 was lofty, and thought about making it 8, but then, what's the Challenge?)

Congrats to ALL the Challengers and ALL the LOSERS!!!

Special Thanks to CookieGVB for starting this Challenge and keeping us all up-to-date with our totals!!

 

[disneygoof]

9/9. That's goal. I mean, that's goal-goal. That's my Labor Day challenge goal, and my WISH goal. I finally made it.

Thanks to CookieGVB for organizing and tracking this. I know it motivated me, and a whole lot of others, to keep the scale moving downward.

Congrats to all who participated!

Have a magical day!

 

[CookieGVB]

Cnograts on the losses. We're up-to-date again.

Disneygoof - that's FABULOUS!! You should be so proud of yourself!!

 

[TinkerChelle]

Making my final check-in for this challenge. I lost another 2 pounds which puts me at 12/10!!! Yippee!! Just 22 pounds until I am at goal!!!
Congrats to everyone on another great challenge.
