Memorial Day is coming...
 

It is to far to set goals for the fourth of july so lets do Memorial day...

Set a goal and see if you can beat it... That gives us 7 weeks to see how much we can lose.

Everyone feel free to join and help each other stay accountable ....

Here we go....:sunny::sunny::goodluck::dust:

My pledge for this challenge is to not have a drink until it ends... that is where I screw up every time....

Jessie, the holiday is Memorial Day. Labor Day is in September. There are several who confuse the two.

Thank you for starting this, Jessie!!

I gained several pounds over Easter. I think most of it is water from all the salt. I'm hoping anyway. LOL

I am so happy to do another challenge with you all. The next 7 weeks holds a lot of wedding planning and getting things ready for a summer away from China. We are also thinking about starting a family in the very near future. I want to be as healthy as possible for any potential pregnancy, but I will put my weight loss on hold if it happens in God's time. Here's to a great 7 week challenge!!!

I'm glad I found this challenge. I've lost 209 pounds and am down to the last 15 which are going very slow. I've been off plan for about a month and think I'll probably have a big loss the first week from water weight. Carbs make me so sluggish and fuzzy brained you'd think I'd never eat bread, sweets, etc. again. I'm doing Atkins 40 now.

Yay another challenge! I'm in.

I totally bombed this week. I was just so hungry I couldn't stop eating and of course that made me emotional over it so add more emotional eating on top of that. I'm hoping for better control this coming week.

Nice loss, Peggy. :D

Thanks Peggy!

I've lost most of what I gained last week. I'm hoping I can actually have a loss to my lowest so far or lower. *crosses fingers*

Another gain, but I'm cool with that. It's my last week at work, so I'm off plan and letting myself enjoy last chance at different foods I only have access to at work plus there will be a pot luck on my last day too. I can get serious starting Saturday.

I'm a little bit bummed as I'm only down .6 today. I'm only two weeks in so I was expecting more like a 2.5 loss this week. 9.8lbs in two weeks is great, but I tend to not focus on the big picture when I feel like I wasn't rewarded for what I've done a particular week. Oh well, I'm going to keep keeping on and hopefully next week will be a better number.
