Hi everyone! I know that its getting warmer outside and that can only mean one thing... summer is coming! That means the clothes will be getting tiny and the swimsuits will be coming out...

I am fairly new here but i decided to start up a challenge to keep me accountable... I am currently 206.5 pounds and I hope that by June 1st I am 175 pounds... this is a tough goal but I usually pull about 3 pounds a week so we will see....

My question is who wants to join me?! I have not quite come up with the best way to go about this challenge but I thought that maybe some of you might have some good ideas of how you want to go about it....

So ladies tell me are you up for the challenge? Lets get ready for those swim suits!!

i'm in! i need a push in the right direction!! i'll try to think of some good ideas for a challenge!

yay! I'm glad I have someone to do it with.. If you have any ideas let me know..... I cant wait to go bikini shopping....

What if we simply do the person with the highest percentage of weight loss by ... say July 1st wins! do you just want to go with bragging rights or shall we have a prize?

Bathing suits??

This is a perfect thread as I'm going down the shore July 3 and I want to be down 15 lbs. by then so . . . . I'm in.

Oooo, a prize, a prize! A special sticker prize that whoever wins can proudly display in their sig.

Oooo! Who doesn't love a good prize I sure do... hehe and yes bathing suits are quite terrifying.. lol but hopefully not as terrifying soon... I have no idea how to make a sticker but if someone wants to volunteer that would be a lovely idea...

Count me in
I weigh on Sundays.

i'm not sure either how to do a sticker but that sounds fine with me if someone could show me how! so we'll do highest percentage of weight loss by July 1st wins a special sticker then? i'm so excited!! hopefully this can be my first ever summer in a bikini

I can post a sticker/picture after I have 25 posts. I'll post around tonight and see if I can put something out here tonight or tomorrow to see if it works.

Sounds good. Bathing suit!!

I'm up for this too! So we have 8 weeks... I'm going to strive for a 1.5 per week loss. which would put me at 162. I weigh in on Mondays, so I'll post my loss here for the week on Monday mornings.
