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?

Down one, which is better than none or gaining I suppose. Maybe when I go for my fill today that will get me to my sweet spot and back to 2 pounds per week. :tongue2:

Home again. I posted a loss of a pound. I actually think it was more but haven't seen my scale for a while and am suspicious that Another Person may have bumped it, or readjusted it to his doc's scale...or something like that. I go for a fill next week and can get everything back in alignment then.

Tink's Mom -- you crack me up. :thumbup:

Down 4.0. Happy with that.:(

I actually lost 5 lbs. this week. The most since the first week after surgery. I got a fill a week and a half ago and it has slowly started to help some. I get full somewhat faster. It helps that I am in an intense educational training M-F from 8-2:30pm, last week and the next 2 weeks. I have a protein drink for breakfast,take a light lunch (we only have 30 min.), and eat a light dinner. I did 2.5-4.5 miles on the treadmill most days (amount depended on how I felt). Normally, I would be starving with this much smaller amount of food, but I feel rather well. Good luck to everybody. I'm not sure if I will lose 9.5 lbs. by July 4th, but I am 8.5lbs. to onderland and I am thrilled.:(

Getting to my goal, slowly but surely. 2 pounds this week.

2 pounds is not slowly! Thats 104 a year! Good job!

I'm actually up 1.8 lbs. I've been jogging 12 miles a week for the past few weeks (after finishing the C25K program), and I've definitely put on some muscle, but the weight gain makes me crazy! Went shopping yesterday, and I've gone down two dress sizes, so I am more toned at least. But the scale needs to start going in the other direction again!!

I think I might be approaching a plateau, because I've kept my calorie intake under 800 cals per day. Maybe I shoud add a couple hundred calories of protein and see what happens...

Down a pound this week. Just started whole foods Monday and wasn't getting enough calories in, so I stalled for a few days.

Doing a happy dance!!!! Down 3 more pounds this week. I have now made goal. So everything for the next three weeks is a bonus!!!! I think I will shoot for maybe another 6 pounds by the 4th. Have a great week everyone.

Down 6 lbs this week - Amazing what a fill can do!

I wrestled one more pound away from my body this week! It gave a good fight but I won! 10 more to go. :(

Same as last week. I did indulge on some wine and perhaps ate a bit too much when we went out to dinner with friends on Saturday night, so I'm not going to complain (shocker, I know). Just going to be thankful that it's not a gain. Going to work my butt off this week to lose at least 2 stinking pounds though. Enough with being lax!!!!!

I lost 0.8 lbs this week, until yesterday scale was showing 2.8lbs loss but last night did some wrong choices in eating and this morning scale was not happy.................. :(
