Canada Day/US Independence Day 2012 Challenge
 

Pick something health-related (doesn't have to be weight) to work on and check in every week. People can start at any time and choose their own check-in day.* Open to everyone - you don't have to be Canadian or American to join.

*For reference:

Canada Day (July 1) is on a Sunday this year, with a statutory holiday on Monday, July 2.

US Independence Day (July 4) is on a Wednesday.

Net gain: +0.2 lbs.

I'm okay with this - I've basically managed to maintain for the past 11 weeks. Not as productive as a net loss, but much better than gaining, considering how much I have had going on!

As I am attempting my weight loss by myself (husband is losing weight as well but without any set plan), taking part in this challenge is a good idea for me. So here goes:

Starting weight: 247.8 pounds
Goal weight for Canada Day: 230 pounds

Canada Day:

I'm ok with the result today. I was very inconsistent with my food plan this week and over-stressed at work. Need to work on that this week to get back into this challenge.

I hope it's OK if I'm a bit late to the party!
