Congrats to all who participated in the Mother's Day Challenge!
It was a great challenge, and everyone did really well.

Now, it is time to set your sights on a new challenge: Canada Day, July 1, which is just a tad over 7 weeks away. So, set your own personal challenge goal for the next 7 weeks, whether it's a number on the scale, a pair of pants you want to fit into, staying on plan with your eating and exercise...whatever will motivate and help you over the next 7 weeks! Everyone is welcome, so please join in, and good luck to all!

As for me, I'm still working on finishing up my Mother's Day goal. I'll be posting here, but won't set a new goal until I finish my old one, to get to ONEderland! I'm really close, so I hope it won't be long!

Okay- I'm in! Thanks Jammy Jam! I love that we're doing a Canadian holiday.

I'll try for a high goal again. If my weight loss rate stays steady it's doable, if not well- any loss is a GREAT victory! With better weather finally coming I think I can increase the outdoor workouts and shoot for the moon. I'll try my best!

Put that new bike to work, right FB? Good luck, ladies!

i think ill give this a go, i am going on holiday on teh 25th of june so i have 6 weeks on wednesday, and by then i wanna loose another 12lbs ideally but 10 would be nice. 8 would be acceptable. so, lets see what happends. i just came back from a very long plateau, and lost 8lbs in 2 weeks, im very happy about that, just hope i can maintain a good steady weight loss.

Morning all...I'm going conservative, as always, and go for a goal of 140. That's 8 lbs in 7 weeks. On July 17th I'm running my first 5k so I wanted to be in the 130s by then. I'd like to post a decent time on my first official run.

So...goals run 3 times per week. Toning 3 times per week. Exercise tape 2 times per week. As I've said before I'm pretty with my eating @1600 cals per day so for me exercise is the key:-).

Here we go! Happy Canada Day Challenge everyone!

Everyone who participated in the last challenge, and made some headway of some sort deserves a big cheer! The battle against extra weight has to be fought on many fronts if we are to succeed in achieving and maintaining healthier bodies. Every step towards that goal deserves to be recognized, whether it's losing one pound or 20, adding 10 minutes of exercise a day, or 60.

We've got bright sunshine here this morning, an auspicious start for a new challenge. And it's the 'Canada Day' challenge, so I personally view it as a 'must-do'.

I have hit the 'significant health benefits 10% loss' now, so for this challenge, while I am going to include a loss goal, my focus is going to be more on getting moving. Someone very kindly 'sent' me a drill sargeant early on in the Mother's Day Challenge, but I turned a deaf ear...

45 minutes of planned exercise (so accidental stuff doesn't count) 4 times per week, plus one strength training session per week. My weight loss goal is going to be 7 lbs., one pound per week.

Ready, set....GO! And best of luck to everyone!

o.k.,I'm going to try another challenge.
I'm aiming for at least 2 lbs a week,so 7wks x 2=14.
So,14 lbs it is.

Let's go for it everyone!

I'll put that bike to work Cheryl! It's not my primary fitness bike, but with the cost of gas and living in a small city's downtown I thought I'd replace the driving with biking. It's perfectly suited for that purpose! I'm becoming a bit obsessed with bicycling.

Just dropping in to let you all know I'm headed out to the cottage and will be back early next week. We're planning to clean up several paths through the woods, so exercise will not be a problem Gotta get it done ahead of the blackflies, they are n-a-s-t-y little bugs, and I swell like a puffer fish when they get me.

Anyway, I stepped on the scale but really did not expect to see any change since the loss on Saturday...but, there it was, another pound gone!
And I put the summer tires on my truck yesterday, so there's one exercise session done.

Have a great week, all!

Good morning. I'd love to join a Canadian Challenge!

I'm 190 this morning and intend to be 185 or below by Canada Day. I lose pretty slowly due to my advanced age but should be able to manage a pound a week. I had knee replacement earlier this year and will be getting back into official exercise next week, In the meantime, the garden is giving me a workout.

I count calories every darned day on Fitday and am following South BEach principals.

I'd like to join too. My goal will be to stay on plan (and hope the scale cooperates!).

Hello ladies,

May I join you? I don't normally post in Calorie counters but the Canada Day Challenge caught my eye.

Being super conservative, I will aim to be 7 lbs lighter by Canada Day - that would be 188 lbs. I will add it to my siggy as soon as I can. thanks for a Canadian challenge!

Hi! I'd like to join in. My goals are:

plan & log my food/calories everyday

meditate five times a week

drink LOTS of water

lose at least five pounds

movement and stretches 4 times a week.

Great challenge!
