Woohoo! Lots of new challengers, I like it! Welcome to all our new challengers, and welcome back everyone else!
I'm sneaking up on my Mother's Day goal: 199.8 today! (my goal is 199.0, since I round up to the next pound for my ticker) That's the first time I've seen a 1-anything in, I don't know, 10 years, maybe? Hopefully, this means I'll be hitting my MD goal for real, soon, and can set a new goal for this challenge.
Hi everyone, I was referred here by my fellow Canadians in the Crazy Canucks thread. I'd like to join the challenge by losing 7 pounds/1 pound per week by Canada Day. I tried on some pants that I bought some time ago and never did get to wear them because I gained weight. They even have the price tag still attached. I'd like to be able to wear them this summer so I guess beside losing the 7 pounds I'd like to get closer to wearing the "new" pants.

Isabella, those are great goals...good luck! Glad to see the Canucks coming out for this challenge, and all are welcome, even if you're not specifically calorie counting at this time.
Layri, I had no idea that dieting could make you shorter! Ah, you know I couldn't resist! I had to measure myself when I signed on here, because I had no idea, either.
Daffy, I meant to say before, congrats on hitting the 10% loss and another pound down!
I'd better get off here now. Been spending way too much time on the computer today! See you all later!
Hello,
This post caught my eye. I would like to be down 10 more pounds by Canada Day, putting me at 226. This is the weight I was when I 1st wanted to lose weight and then all went to ****. So it will be a big mental marker for me. Good luck to all!
Congrats on the sneak preview of Onederland, Jammy!
I also had a friendly scale this morning but I am very conservative about updating my ticker because I fluctuate a lot and I don't want my ticker to read lower than the scale.
In other news, I joined Curves this morning -- first gym membership in at least a decade! I've been doing well walking, but it's about time I added some strength training.
Hi all! Would like to join in on this next challenge/goal. Have been out of the loop for a bit and didn't get to post much on the MD thread. I came close to my goal - shy of it by 1#. Yep. I weigh 231 now. I'm 50# lighter!
My CD goal is to lose 13 more lbs. And to keep up my daily exercise.

Welcome, to our new challengers! (and welcome back, MrsE! congrats on the 50# milestone!)
Well, I am back to weight lifting, and the scale apparently found out about it. Dang! I was so close to finishing the MD goal, then all this water weight is shooting the scale back up. Ah well, I'll get there eventually. Looking at my numbers, I'm thinking it's time to make another change to my diet, though. Might be time to tackle the dreaded hot tea (with sugar and milk) addiction. I've never been able to take it just with the tea bag and water, so I think the only thing to do is cut down on the number of cups each day, at least to start. That would drop my calories without me having to change the food right now. Water is my friend, water is my friend....
I'm going to jump on the Canada Day challenge but my half way between mini and major goal is set for the 5th of July but still 4 days might not make any difference. I'm going to shoot for the moon to make that goal and say 16.5lb. I really want to be down to 210 for my 5th of july but even if i make it to 216 i'll be happy!!!
Thanks!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous in my part of the world, hope it's nice for everyone else. Have to work a wedding tomorrow so that will be a high energy burn day.

I just got over the tea with sugar and milk addiction. I found putting an ice cube in the cup got rid of the bitterness and has helped me transission to herbal tea just plain...good luck
hey guys when is our next weigh in day??? or are we weighing seperate//? mine is on the 27th im hoping to shed 4 lbs between then and my last weigh in day i think i need to wor out maybe 4 more times to achieve that though... :-s
Looks like rain for the weekend in my area. But I'm happy to report that my weekend plans include trying out my new Curves membership and going rollerblading at a nearby rink .
Since my goal is just to stay OP (so far, so good!), I won't have any official weigh-ins.
Jammy, I was able to transition from tea with milk & sugar to tea with nonfat milk and no sugar in stages (reducing sugar slowly). Maybe you could try that approach? Tea has some health benefits and nonfat milk is a good source of calcium and protein.
Ah, you know I couldn't resist!
