  • I know last year when I was here this board kept the motivation high by posting a bunch of different challenges.

    Well, I didn't see a 4th of July challenge. As of this comming Sunday there are only 7 more weeks till the 4th of July (this year seems to be zooming by) and I was wondering if anyone wants to take part in a 4th of July challenge with me? If so, please remember to keep your goals healthy!

    EVERYONE WELCOME!!

    SW 290/GW 275
    -15 lbs.

    May 23rd: 284.2*
    May 30th: 283.8
    June 6th: 283.3
    June 13th:284.6
    June 20th: 284.0
    June 27th: 286.7...hmmm wrong way completely
    July 4th: 283.8

    Edit: yay! I love a good challenge. Anyone not sure about how challenges work, just post your current weight, goal weight, or just the weight goal you have in mind and weigh in weekly!

    Edit:
    Well, I didn't make goal but at least its less than when I started!!
  • Count me in! I weigh in every day, so I'll just have to remember to post my Sunday weight in this thread. My goal would just be "under 200". I actually had hoped to hit that by my birthday (the 28th of June) but if the next 10 pounds come off as slow as the last 10, that won't happen.

    As long as I weigh less then than I do now, its a success
  • I'm in! I'd like to be down 10 lbs. Well, I'd like it to be 14 but things aren't as fast as I want them to be lol
