4th of July Challenge!
 

Hello all!!! I was wanting to make a challenge and decided that 4th of July would be good since it is about 11 weeks away! I know I need the extra motivation to make it through the summer!

I found a spreadsheet and edited it for us to use on this challenge! Please do not touch or edit the last 4 columns (blue/orange/yellow/red) on the right. I will manually update the yellow and red after weight has been inputted. Enter your username, your starting weight and goal weight by the end of the challenge.

Please join in at ANY TIME to receive/give support, accountability and make new friends! Looking forward to meeting you all!!

Oh yea, first weigh-in is on the 25th, next Thursday and will be on Thursdays since the last weigh-in falls right on 4th of July but you can record your weigh-in at any time or use a weight from another day, etc.

Count me in!

I would like to be 11 pounds lighter.

I'm in serious need of a kick in the butt. Perhaps this is the impetus I need!

Count me in. That is right in line with my 4th of July week vacation. I'm in for 20 pounds.

Count me in. Truth be told, I haven't weighed in a very long time, so I'll add my info tomorrow.

I'd like to lose 20-25 pounds. Will have to see what the scale actually says.

Thanks Amandie! I'm in! I'm going to base my weights on my official weekly weigh-in at the Medifast clinic (saturdays).

SW: 251.1
GW: 226

I have a lofty goal of 25 pounds! If I stay on plan I CAN do this!

I'm in! Looking to be 155 by then (-25lbs)!!

Just checking in for the day. I find accountability during these challenges helps me tremendously. Hope you all are having a great weekend thus far. For me, I'm trying to stay busy and out of the fridge. So far I have stayed on plan and just lack getting my strength training in for the day and I'm golden.

Amandie~ The spreadsheet is awesome. Thanks for providing that.

You ladies keep up the great work :carrot:

I'm amazed at how many people joined in on this challenge! Glad to have you all on board! You're all awesome.

Please don't forget to input your SW and end of challenge GW in the spreadsheet if you haven't done it yet.

Whoo-hoo! I'm getting pumped for this Thurs' weigh-in! Hope all of you are having a good weekend so far.

Me to Amandie! I am really cracking down and staying on plan! Hope you guys are having an amazing Sunday. How are you guys doing on exercise? Any specific plans?

I'll join

Sw: 194
Gw: 175

I'm in and glad to find a longer term challenge that's just starting.

Glad to see so many others with lofty goals! Good luck everyone! :carrot:

I'm planning on using my elliptical at least five times a week for 30 minutes and then on May 1st I'm starting Chalean Extreme for strength training.

My official weigh in is on Saturday, so I've already posted my start weight (posted last Saturday's weight on Thursday or Friday), and my first week (yesterday's official weight). I hope this is okay. I realized if I didn't do it this way I wouldn't know if I met my goal until July 6.

I am so glad I came back here and at the start of a new challenge. After a few years of saying i am going to do this...I am going to do this. Three weeks ago I started exercising and I'm starting to slip again so this may be exactly what I need. By Thanksgiving I want to be down to 125 so this is a great start!

I'm in. Goal by July 4th is 260.
