Default 5 Lb Challenge, Number 29!!!

A new day.. a new challenge!
Horrah to all you losers out there and here's to another challenge!

All you have to do is:

Post your starting weight (SW) and your goal weight (GW)
Log in as often as you like and post your current weight (CW)!

First person to reach their 5 lb loss goal weight wins and gets to start the next thread for the next 5 lb challenge!

Good luck everyone!

Congrats Juneteenth!

I love these challenges for the fact that with each new one, so far, my goal weight is just a little lower. It really is an invigorating way to move along. 5 pound challenges are brilliant!

GW: 176.4

I know! Me too. These challenges really help me keep focused because it's a nice, small, easily measurable goal. And even if I'm not the winner, like you said, every time my GW is a little less than before.

I've been waiting for one of you gals to win and start a new thread. I'm in this time. I need all the motivation I can get!!!

SW: 163
GW: 158

Get under that 160 number never seems to happen for me so this will be awesome if it works!

Plus, this challenge lets me get the scale back out that my husband hid!

Good Morning Girls!!! I have been MIA from this thread for about 3 weeks or so. I decided I needed a break from the scale. Now I am back and ready to go. Good Luck!!

PhotoChick - I would LOVE to see the scale just say 159. It gets down to about 160.2 but I just can't get it to say 159.9! (Previously I mean...I'm at about 163 right now...) I'm feeling super frustrated today if you can't tell from my calorie question post! I snuck around last night and found where my husband hid the scale and was dissappointed when I stepped on it!

I'm not really new to 3fc, but I'm new to this particular board and I haven't been around in a while. These mini challenges seem like a really great idea though, and I'd like to hop in with the rest of you.

Even though I'm maintaining now I'm still joining in - I'd still like to get further down in my maintenance range.

Ohgosh. I don't know if you saw my comments on the last challenge, but last Friday I was down to 159.7 And then on Monday I was up to 166!!!

*sob* *weep*

So ... I totally know what you mean. I want to get to 159 and STAY there.
