4th of July Challenge!

Here we go again! This one is going to be a long one. Lets see who wants to join this week and have our first weigh in next Sun/Mon.

My goal is to lose the last 14 by the 4th! That is 8 weeks! Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know how to make a spreadsheet?

I have been hoping for a new challenge but somehow didn't see this one. Sorry I missed it and am now jumping in so late! But better late than never! Hoping for a 15 lb loss by July 4. Good luck to all!

Booo--same as last week (although I was 2 lbs less YESTERDAY!!!) WTH?

I was down 3 lbs on staurday then my 3 year old daughter got mauled by a dog and had to have 40 stiches to her face and so stress and bad food choices I gained two lbs back, hopefully this week is better.

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she gets well soon.

Mom2girls,

My thoughts are with you for a very speedy recovery for your daughter.

Finally down another pound!!!!:confused:

Mom2girls I am so sorry that happend to your daughter poor little thing. I will pary for her.

I am still the same dealing with the same 5 pounds up down get my second fill on friday hoping four restriction

Thanks to all the well wishes for my baby girl, you would think nothing happened to her, kids bounce back so fast. We go next week to have her put under to have the stiches removed and then we will take it from there. Thanks again!

bummed....got a slight unfill and gained some weight...im not changing my goal and i plan to still come as close to 245 as possible.

No loss, but no gain either, so I'l just try a bit harder this week...

I hope she's doing well! If you don't mind me asking, where was she bitten? I only ask because I was mauled by a German Shepard when I was four, and they basically had to sew my scalp back on (I need 86 stitches in a huge oval from right above my right eyebrow to the base of my skull). You can barely see the scar anymore. Some people have known me for years and only ask about it if I have my hair up in a ponytail.

Ha! I feel stupid! I joined the challenge even before reading this thread. I just saw other people's tickers with the challenge on it and said......."hmmmm, that sounds like a good short-term goal". So I'm trying to lose 26 pounds by July 4th. May be difficult as I have no fills, but I'm gonna try!!!

I'm in for 15! Right now at 224 so that gets me to 209 if I make it! Not getting another bandfill till after that but my last fill seems to be close to sweet spot! :biggrin:

She was bitten in the face near her mouth, one of the areas is right in the crease of the cheek and them one above that, we called in a plastic surgeon and he did very good job, it is healing well
