This would be great for me! We have a trip to the states in August and I'm really hoping to be at my goal weight (whatever that may be!) by then. That means somewhere between a 9-24lb loss still. Since July is still a month away from that I'll put my goal as 10lbs and then be thrilled if I lose more than that.

ETA: I weight daily and just report loses when they come because they normally come in whooshes with weeks of stalls in between.

Paradise I absolutely feel challenges help me to stay on track. When I know I have a group to come and post my weight in, it spurs me on try my best to get a good number, but also, when the scale stops moving or starts moving the wrong way, the support a group can give is amazing. It's also great to get to know a bunch of people and share in their successes and hear what works and doesn't work for them.

I would like to join the challenge! I am a newbie and I'd love to stay motivated I'd like to lose 40lbs by July ~ I'd love in to be in onderland but am trying to set a realistic goal loss of 8lbs a month.

I'm in! Starting weight is 182.2, hoping to be down as close to 150 as I can get. If it's more even better!

Runningfromfat and berryblondeboys, I added you to the spreadsheet, which you can see here. I'm also adding it to the top post in the thread for fast access.

I added in the rest of the starting weights from tickers, so change it in the spreadsheet if it's wrong!

Let's do this!

so we are 18 ladies and we weigh almost 2 tons....wow. Congratulations to all of us in taking this step in continuing in our weight loss journey and goal of happier and healthier lives.

I think the way for me to stay motivated through something like this is that Im very competative, and donīt like to lose, so I will do everything in my power week by week so make sure I donīt have the lowest % lost.

lovemydoogiesx2 Great attitude!

Have a fab day everyone!

That's fine with my starting weight. I missed the chance to weigh-in this morning before eating so 164lbs will have to do.

Good morning ladies,

Lovemydoggies - I'm with 'ya. I like your attitude too and it's rubbed off on me. I don't want to be the lowest % either so I am going to give it my all. I'm so excited and can't wait to see how we all do!

Let's all have a great OP day

Cool thanks!

We a making a trip to Croatia ( and the beaches there) in late July/early August. I so want to feel good in a swimsuit and want to be just worrying about maintaining and not losing by then. We can do it!

Good morning ladies,

I hope everyone is off to a great start this month. I'm so motivated right now and am so ready to get below 200. I am going to give it my all this month in hopes of coming as close to onederland as possible. I need 10.1 pounds to get me there. I'm not sure if this is attainable but I'm shooting for it.

I hope you ladies all have a great day

Gettinfit I'm also going for the same goal as you i need 15.1lbs but i want to get as close as possible to it! LETS DO THIS!

I'd like to join the challenge. My starting weight is 268.0. I'd like to lose 45 lbs.

GettinFit and momof3preemies: good luck to you guys! I'm shooting for around 15 this month too, or as close as I can get! I've been at almost 4 pounds per week since I started 4 weeks ago, if I can do it, y'all can too! <3
