Rep Power: 6 | | | March Challenge!
Hey guys,
Couldn't see a March challenge yet so I thought i'd jump in. Stolen the idea from DeepGreen...hehe...sorry.
So....
Let's try to lose 1 percent of your body weight a week for the month of March!
Feel free to change the weigh in dates to suit your needs. Don't worry if you don't lose 1 percent, do the best you can
Copy & paste to your own post and update it weekly.
Start Weight:
March 8 =
March 15 =
March 22 =
March 29 =
Total March Loss: __________________
Percentage lost: ___________________
To find your percentage
Take your starting weight - ending weight = Pounds lost
Then divide pounds lost/ starting weight and get the percentage lost
GOOD LUCK!

Rep Power: 6 | | So...me first! If my calculations are correct, a 1% loss each week should have me lose just under 9lbs, getting me down to about 209.
That'd rock! hehe EDIT - okay, i've decided to tweak mine to boost my confidence a little! Rather than trying to lose 1% of WEIGHT each week, i'll try and lose 1% of body fat as measured by the machine at the gym. SOOOO much more attainable as i'm doing a lot of weight training at the moment! I don't know my start body fat %, but i'll just start including it now.
Start Weight: 218
March 8 - 218 (well....it's better than going up isn't it!?)
March 11 - Fat % = 47.7 Fat weight = 47.5kg
March 15 -
March 22 -
March 29 -

Rep Power: 20 | | January? Don't you mean March? 
Well I'm on board but I am going for 1% of my body fat per week. The Gold's Gym Challenge ends April 3rd for me and my primary goal when I started on January 9th was to achieve 10% body fat and right now I am at 14% body fat. So I'm going to fight like hell these next four weeks. The math is about the same since I am 199 lbs so either way I need to lose about 1% of my body weight or 2 lbs per week...same as last month's challenge. Guess I need to step it up because last month I only averaged 1 lb of weight lost per week.
Starting Body Fat Percentage: 14% (171 lbs muscle, 28 lbs fat)
March 8 =
March 15 =
March 22 =
March 29 = |

Rep Power: 7 | | I'm in! My weight has been fluctuating a lot recently and I want to reign it all in. My spring break is in April, so this is a good head start for that.
8 pounds is a lot for me, I haven't been losing very quickly, but I will do my best. Even a 1 pound total loss is better than nothing!
Start Weight: 195.0
March 8 = (193.5)
March 15 = (191.1)
March 22 = (189.2)
March 29 = (187.3)

Yay, I'm excited I saw this! I was looking for a good challenge to start (preferably at the beginning) and what day is better than March 1st? Lol. 1% of my body weight is 1.6 so I need to lose 1.6 lbs a week! I guess my ultimate goal will be 5lbs for the end of this month. ^_^ |

I'm off to Switzerland for a vacation on 2nd April and my initial goal was to be 120 lbs by the 1st April but 123.00 wouldn't be too bad!  |
