4month SuMMER weight Loss Challenge
 

I have gained all the weight I lost plus gained more and have gotten all the way back up to the highest weight I have ever been... I am ready to loose this weight I have gained back.. I am not going to be down on myself I am going to fight to gain my life back.

So here is goes. The challenge is 4 months. I don't want to be all about the scale but we will be doing a BL type challenge where whoever has the highest % weight loss. Also I would like to see and hear about the small and big non scale victories.

I would like to join also. I have been stuck between the 30's & 40's for months; it's time for me to make goal. I joined the gym and I'm going to put in an hour a day 6 days a week. I hope to be at goal by the end of this challenge. It's going to be hard and a lot of work, but I'm going to make it. Hopefully we can keep each other motivated.

Count me in too! Not sure yet what my goal is going to be, I'll have to think about what's reasonable but would push me to stay on track.
I am 30 years old, female, work full time as a nurse, and calorie counting is what I find easiest to follow.
Good luck everyone!

I'm aiming to lose 30 pounds which will put me at my lowest weight since I was 12. I have been slacking in the exercise department and I want to tone my arms and legs up nicely so I'll be going to the gym 3 times a week minimum. Good luck to you all!

I love this and am in. I am hoping to be at my 'new' goal weight in 4 months. I originally didn't think I could or wanted to get lower than 170 but I'm only 17 pounds from that and I'm pretty sure I could/should lose more than that.

Scrap that previous number. I weighed in last night and today, and found that I'm starting at 172.2.

I want in too! I do not want to be walking around overweight in the baking city heat this summer, not again!! I'll start with my weight from the 4th :)

Not bothered about the competition, I'm only competing with myself, but that is enough :D I'll be ramping up the exercise soon, so if I don't make it, I don't mind, I just want some accountability to keep me pointed in the right direction ;)

Hey, y'all! I was checking out the spreadsheet as I entered my number for today, and am SO impressed with the general downward trend! If you didn't lose this past week, no worries. Everyone's body is different, and there are all sorts of reasons that you might not drop a pound, or might even gain one. The point is to stick with it. Yay, us!

I may have lost .5 but entering 0 to err on the side of caution. It's hard for me to see the tiny lines on my scale, so although I know I'm still under the big 250 line I'm not sure how much. I really need to get a digital scale with BIG display numbers, LOL. I know I ate right and exercised so I'm still happy with the week.

@fadedbluejeans - I bought a digital scale on sale for the exact same reason. It is worth it to buy it, imo!

and congrats too :)

lol @jillbean

which one did you buy? I started looking but got overwhelmed by the choices.

I just bought this one a month ago and love it. You can program your info into it without a computer (when I was looking there were a couple highly recommended but they required updating with computers and I didn't want to do anything like that) and it tells you body fat%, bone mass, water info, etc.

Me, too. Plus, I think that my analog scale was kind of inaccurate. I bought a no-frills digital scale off of Amazon.com for about $20 by a company called Ozeri. It's been working great over the last six months, and according to my weigh-ins at the doctor's office, is fairly accurate!

I'm disappointed in myself, but I'm glad it was only a 1 pound gain
