Okay ClaireBear, I'm gonna jump in on this one too :)

this week has been a great one and I'm having to redo my goals a week bit on my Nov 1st challenge, might as well get in on this action too :)

I'm gonna say roughly...
July 20: 220
Aug 20: 210
Sep 20: 199 lol

That actually completely changes my Nov 1st goal and I'm not complaining about that one bit! :D

lagorditadecolorado welcome to this challenge too! Im so happy that you've bumped up your weight loss goals by 1 1/2 months! that is amazing! you will be a great motivator for these girls.

ANNOUNCMENT:
Tomorrow is the start of weigh in ladies! you have until Monday night to post your weight to be put on the weight loss chart. there are some very cute awards =] and these awards will be given out weekly! I will also be calculating our weight loss as a whole. and ive split us up into 2 different colored teams...because when we all start to hit a rough patch or a plateau in july or august, i think it would be great to have a team challenge!!! to keep everyone pumped and motivated. so remember to WEIGH IN! So you can be rewarded for your good work and so i can track your weigh loss accurately =]]] stay motivated ladies! hit those gyms tonight! and get on those scales tomorrow!

Wow ClaireBear you're really on top of this! awesome!

So I thought my goal was gonna be the start of my classes on Sept. 26th but just today I heard back from the school I really REALLY wanted to go to and they accepted me to start AUGUST 22! So even more motivation I guess - gonna work way harder than i planned and just maybe get to some of those goals a little bit sooner - still sticking with my original goal of 172 for September but this is a great motivator to get there.
Good luck tomorrow and Monday everyone! Can't wait to see where everybody is at :)

Ohhh can I join?? Hi to everyone, school bound or otherwise! Sept 14th I start my second year of nursing school, and I am already stressed! But my biggest issue is they changed our scrubs from these nice, comfortable brown ones to these really ugly, stiff white and black sets. They are not flattering at all! I need to at least drop a few :) before getting into those ugly scrubs! Can't wait to get to know all of you!

SW: 282.2
GW: 243.2

Weighed this morning...

141.4

Down 1.2 lbs from my starting weight. Which I think was technically less than a week ago. Nice!

Congrats Thing1 on being accepted to your preferred college, that's awesome! I can't wait to transfer to the university I want to go to next year! :celebrate:

Mayness, great job! You're on your way! :broc:

My weigh in was after a huge amount of water weight loss, I went from drinking probably 2000 calories a day in soda (no joke) to drinking nothing but water and working my big tail off. I'm expecting next week to be much less dramatic (and trying to let it sink in that that will be okay), my WI was 234, down 10 pounds from when I started. :carrot:

YAY LADIES!!! I'm ecstatically happy this morning - my weigh in is 148, down 2 pounds from 150!! I hope you all have weight loss successes today and tomorrow, we can DO THIS!!!!!

Thank you ClaireBear92 for putting this all together! You are a sweetheart!

Weighed in just now..down to 239!!! 4 lbs lost this week and 11 pounds lost since i started this journey 2 weeks ago. super excited!!!

great job mayness, lagorditadecolorado, and elizabethyellow! for losing weight this week and weighing in on time! so proud of you lovely ladies!!! so excited to see how everyone else is placed =]]]

My weigh-in today: 322.0. Think I am up nearly 4 pounds...

Just occurred to me that I'm probably the highest weight in this challenge too
><

My weigh-in today is 237. Down 2 lbs this week!

Great job ladies!

Don't get discouraged do the robot! We're here to support each other! It's not about comparing! You've got a brand new week ahead of you, I'm sure you'll do great! It's not a race, as long as you keep working toward your goal, you'll get there!

Great job melni, ClaireBear, elizabethyellow!

great job do the robot!! 4 pounds is something you should be celebrating!!!!

I would love to join as well.
I start classes August 22nd, but maybe by September I can get a pound or two further. My real Goal Date is Halloween, first year I want to wear something that isn't a full body coverage or go as nothing again. I want to wear something sexy/cute and have fun!

SW: (For this thread) 155
September Goal Weight: 135 (1-2lbs a week).

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all doing well on your challenges. Here's where I'm at:

SW: 238.6
CW: 235.6

Funny story: went into the ER at 3 am this morning with an infection in my hand from getting bit by my stupid cat and when they weighed me in for the register i was down two lbs! hows that for a silver lining?
Sounds like everybody is doing fantastic - just want you all to know what an incredible motivation you all are!

SW: 200
CW: 198.2

Great job ladies! Just got back from the gym...did 20 minutes of intervals on tredmil..20 minutes of intervals on elliptical...and 10 minutes speed walking on tredmill at an incline of 6! Tricking my body! =]

Congrats to everyone who lost this week! Well done!!

do the robot - We all have to start somewhere...and :bravo: to you for starting! Just keep it up, follow your plan, eat less and move often, and you'll be watching the pounds fall off! :cheer2:

Hey Hey everyone! Congrats on the losses!

My SW was 247.2 and today I weighed in at 246.2. So I lost exactly one pound! Slow and steady for this lady. I am hoping. Lets all have ON PLAN days!

My weigh-in weight is 162.4.

great job ladies! proud of everyone who's lost...and for everyone whos keeping their chins up!

Yay! My WI today was still 278.2 but I an super happy with that 4 lbs! As my first real week with WW I am sure most of it is water weight, but I have stayed in my points everyday, exercised 4 days, and drank an oceans worth of water :) I start two weeks of twelve hour shifts this week at the hospital, so I am really going to have to work on packing healthy, quick to eat lunches. Any tips for me ladies?

Hope everyone is having a great week!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

as a whole...we have lost 23.6 lbs this week!!! Congradulations girls!!! that's HUGE! =] very proud.

Just made a quick calculation!

as whole...15 girls want to lose 442 lbs this summer!

we have lost (so far) 23.6 lbs and added 4 lbs this week

that means that we are down to 422.4 lbs to go after losing 19.6


Lets get into the 300's next week girls!

Way to go everyone!
Thanks for the calculations ClaireBear. You rock! :)

i will be posting the chart TONIGHT so get excited =]]

Haha, I'm excited!
Speaking of excitement, ClaireBear, I was looking at your profile (Blame it on my Facebook creeping habit, haha). Not only are we the same age, we're around the same weight, and I was born on February 11th! :P

Thanks for the calculations Claire! Those are pretty motivating to see up there like that :)

Melni ohh can I join in?! I'm 20 and was born on February 28th! Hahaha :)

Oh I agree elizabethyellow, it is motivating to see it like that. Which is totally what I need! Now the water weight is gone, the pounds aren't dropping off anymore and I'm trying not to listen to the little voice in my head saying negative things! Keep up the good work ladies!

ClaireBear, love the numbers, it's definitely motivating to see how my loss fits into our goals and our loss as a group. :)

Nice work ladies!!! :carrot:

Hey I hope its not too late! I need some fellow students to keep me on track during the first couple months of school (I start August 2).
SW: 204.0
