Default The Spring Break Countdown,

So here it is...the Spring Break Countdown.

I'll let be up to everyone to choose what their goals are but here's what I've worked out:

After weighin on Friday Feb. 1st:
Week 1 Ends the morning of Feb 8th;
Week 2 Ends the morning of Feb 15 (just in time for Vday);
Week 3 Ends the morning of Feb 22;
Week 4 Ends the morning of March 1;
Week 5 Ends the morning of March 8...
If you want to make it longer, go for it.

I haven't decided what my goal will be yet but I was thinking either 10lb (2/week), 12.5 (2.5/week), or maybe 15 (3/week)...ahhh..lol. I think I'll just try to make all of them and be happy with what I hit...lol.

See everyone on Friday,
Erin

Thumbs up Yeah baby!!!!!

Hi Everyone.....

Jump'in in with all of you ...So the challenge will be fun. Certainly allows for that extra effort to take place.

I've decided to go the 2.5 per week slot and plan on reaching 142.5 by the time the challenge ends That would be a 12.5 loss *crossing fingers*.

So let's all loose some extra booty folks....

Rachel's...leaving to drink her water!

Hi Everyone!!

I'll jump in on this one too!!!

I might be popping in to support others more than anything else though..... I've been dropping just one pound at a time ...about every 10 - 14 days. But I'm losing inches (building muscle)

Anyway.... I'll shoot for the 2 lbs week-- total 10 lbs and be happy with what I get!!!

I think this will be great for motivation and support!!!

Ellie

Default Ellie Eats,

Your thread made me think of something. Maybe we should list our measurements (either instead of, or with weighin, or not at all ) b/c like you said the scale may not be dropping, but the bod can be chaning. What I think I'll do is take my measurements on Friday and then at the End just to see how much I've changed (I never feel like I'm taking the measurements in the right spots...I think I'll do a search on that to see if someone knows the correct spots of the bod).

See everyone on Friday,
Erin

I'd like to be counted or rather weighed in. I'll try for 16 lbs. on 3/4. Great idea- my spring vacation is 5/12.

Great idea. I'm in.

My goal will be 8 lbs. Gets really hard for me to get below 120 and that's my goal. March 8 - 119 lbs.

Woo Hoo!

Count me in. I like the 2/wk or 12 lbs. I have been losing 1 lb/week, so this will be a challange. It will be the lowest I have been in 5 years! I also like the idea of tracking inches lost. I have lost about 3 inches this month so I am hoping that much again.

Default Yes, your the first and I'm jealous, I wanted to be...lol

So I don't know what my weighin should be...I was out drinking last night so I weighed 138.5 this morning... which is definitely dehydration. I'll way that I weigh 138.5, but I may change it tomorrow...lol

I want to hit my goal (the final and real one on OWL) so that means I'm shooting for 13 lbs. and that's 2.6 a week.

After weighin on Friday Feb. 1st: 140
Week 1 Ends the morning of Feb 8th - goal 137.4
Week 2 Ends the morning of Feb 15 - goal 134.8
Week 3 Ends the morning of Feb 22 - goal 132.2
Week 4 Ends the morning of March 1 - goal 129.6
Week 5 Ends the morning of March 8 - goal 127

Good Luck Everyone,
Erin
