July Weight Loss Challenge
 

Blast off in July to meet your weight loss goals!

Join the July Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group.

What is your goal for July? All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

Join us at our sister thread, http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html, to track your fitness goals.

I am so pleased with my progress in June (wow, it's gone by fast!) that I'm really excited for July. My goal will be to get into the 180s, so 189.5 is my official goal.

SW - 196
GW - 189.5

Total loss -6.5 pounds

Hello please add me; my goal is 10 lbs.

Hi Leah and Darius, I know you guys can do it!!!!
Also, props to gardener joy for always running these threads!!

Sw:180.8

6/30:180.8
7/1: 178.6
7/2: 176.8
7/3: 176.2
7/4: 178.0
7/7: 177.2
7/15: 175.6
7/31: 175.0

so, i am new to this, how do i join this challenge and track it?

It looks like everyone is just posting what they are going to try and lose in July......if this is the case you can put me down for 10 lbs.

do i need to post weight or anything on certain days, im not sure how this works, but i love a challenge and would like to give it a shot

:)

Hi there! I think I might be up for this!

I won't start crying if I won't reach it, but I will aim for 10 lbs. That would put me just under 70 kilos, which is my big big mini-goal!

Sw:163.8
Gw: 154

Thank you EnglishMcTeach - Good luck to you too - I have lost weight on the gardenerjoy monthly thread in the past - the pressure of having to perform well for my co-challengers seems to make me put forth an additional effort. Constantly thinking: "I can't eat those potato chips because the friday weigh-in is right around the corner and I'm only half a pound lower than last friday and these chips will put 2 pounds of water on me overnight!" What an eternal struggle, but this forum really works.

:cheer: I'm so excited to see the thread for July. I did very well in June's challenge. For July's challenge I'm going to aim for losing 8lbs again. Thanks to Gardenerjoy for keeping us going with these awesome threads. Everyone have a great day!

Well, I'm probably being overly ambitious as we have a vacation this month, but hey, I managed a four day conference, I can handle vacation, right? Errrr...

So... ten pound goal for me this month.

Start weight: 242.4
Goal weight: 232.4

01: 242.6 (+0.2)
02: 242.1 (-0.3)
03: 241.4 (-1.0)
04: 239.8 (-2.6)
05: 239.1 (-3.3)
06: 238.8 (-3.6)
07: 237.1 (-5-3)
08: 236.9 (-5.5)
09: 235.6 (-6.8)
10: 235.2 (-7.2)
11: 234.5 (-7.9)
12: 235.6 (-6.8) was at a party the night before and ate cake - an instant pound gainer when I do that!
13: 234.9 (-7.5)
14: 233.9 (-8.5) reaching 30 pounds lost since the reboot! Woohoo!!!
15: 233.8 (-8.6) yay! Yesterday wasn't a fluke!!!
16: 233.9 (-8.5)

YAY!!! Glad you joined! Typically people will post their weight every day. Not everyone does that, or likes to weigh-in every day, so you can pick your specific weigh-in day. Generally people who don't weigh-in every day will still check-in every day with how things are going in their journey to keep themselves accountable and make friends. You can have a look through the June challenge to get an idea for how it works.

Hi am new to here and struggling but signing up to slimming world tonight so fingers x'd.

SW 241lb
GW 231lb

Would love to hit 10lb loss.

Hey ladies, I'm in! 10 lbs. needs to be gone by July 31. So let it be written, so let it be done! Weigh-ins for me are on Fridays and Tuesdays. Together, let's make it happen!

I had said NO NO NO to weight loss challenges, but heck....I've been slacking lately and need a glamorous boost!

I'm starting a new job in August and also going to a friend's wedding the last weekend of July.

So definitely count me in.

11 lbs (5 kg) is my goal.

I want to give this a go, I am doing this journey on my own this time and can use some cheering on!

Goal is to get into 240's, since I hit 259 for the first time today. So 10 lbs.

Yay! :welcome2: to all the newcomers and :wave: to those who are coming back again this month! Thank you Joy for once again for putting this challenge together! I am going for 6 lbs. I'll post my starting weight tomorrow. Woohoo! Let's do this! :dancer:

GREAT! then sign me up for 10 lbs.......and do i just edit my previous post with my check ins or start a new one?

sorry for all the questions just wanna do it right so its not a pain in the butt :)

No worries, we usually just post a new one each time we update. You'll get the hang of it and no one will judge you if do things differently, we're a friendly bunch here.

30toGo, here's a link to the latest page of June's thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...llenge-21.html. It might be helpful to you. Most of us copy and paste our daily progress into a new post each day, so we can keep up with each other as we go, but some go back to their original post and just add to it, and then pop in every once in a while with a new post to let us know how they are doing since we are unlikely to go back to try to find their original post to keep up with their progress. Hope this helps! You're going to do great! :hug:

Hi here is my initial weigh-in - I will be posting on Fridays as usual.

0.0 lb TOTAL LOSS
0.0% of goal reached

NSF - Non-Scale FAILURE - well actually kind of a scale related failure:
Last november I was 120 kg and I could wear my nice black suit - which is very necessary here in Jpn because my father in law has 10 brothers and sisters between the ages of 70 and 90 and there is a funeral every 6 months. Well one of them is failing and I can no longer fit in my good black suit so I had to buy a bigger one last week - very upsetting to me; a lot of disappointment over regaining 17 kg over the past 6 months. Well that is the number 1 reason why I am here again this month so with all of your help I can lose 17 kg over the next 4 months, fit in my suits and a plane seat comfortably once more and go visit my hometown in america.

Darius, you've done it before and you can do it again! I'm sorry you had to buy a new suit but you'll be fitting back into the smaller one before you know it! We all have our ups and downs. I drifted away from here for a while and gained ALL my weight back and MORE. Unfortunately it happens. The important thing is you're back, you're determined, and you're going to do this! :cheer:

Count me in! My goal is 10 pounds this month. I really, really want it!

I'll post my start weight tomorrow.

Good luck everybody! :goodluck:


LET'S GO!

Hi everyone!

Last month I kind of fell of the face of the earth...between the MCATs and moving to my new summer job (live-in housekeeper) I have been very busy the last couple of weeks! My goal last month was to lose 5 pounds and I lost 4.6, but I'll think I'll reach for 6 lbs. this month. I'm very active at my job, as I'm standing and running around doing housework anywhere from 5-15 hours a day, and I've been more active on my days off as well since I'm no longer stuck inside studying....all that to say I think 6 lbs. will be hard, but possible. I won't be able to check in everyday as I sometimes work very early in the morning (and I like to weigh in 1st thing before I eat breakfast) so I'll just be checking in when I get the chance.

SW: 177.8
