Good morning everyone, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL for the last challenge!!! Most made their goal and passed it and many others like myself made it very close... WE ARE ROCKING OUR SLEEVES FOR SURE!!!

So, here's the new challenge folks, what will you weigh on Easter Sunday?? That is on April 24th - 10 weeks from yesterday, and 70 days from today.

Everyone's welcome to join in, even if you are just trying to maintain your weight loss. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! But with the sleeve, who needs luck??

Me personally am going to go aggressive this time. I really need to work hard to get as light as possible in preparation for my 5k run on May 7th... whoottt!!!

Also, instead of carrying over EVERYONE else on the challenge, we will just be responsible for ourselves. I have started the "ticker" of sorts, I hope everyone will still use it so everyone can easily see everyone's progress.

I vote for the first day of summer since not everyone on this board will celebrate the 4th of July. Just a thought!

Very diplomatic, I like that. In that case maybe Summer would be better as we do have many friends here from many different countries. As well, we can call it the Soltice Goal because those on the Southern Hemi will start Winter that day!!

Really good point!!! Some our most awesome contributors come from different climes around the world! :-)

First day of Summer is fine...I only voted for the 4th of July for MORE time lose since I'm such a SLOW loser LOL! Can't wait to start the new challenge...ONLY 1.8 TO REACH THIS ONE UGH!

I know it girl! I was down for the 4th of July too for that reason...

Well as a Brit 4th July doesn't have particular meaning for me, I'm happy to go with any goal date at all, for me its just about breaking this journey up into stages, and motivating each other.

I'm still trying to lose the 5 pounds I have let to go in this challenge and we're already picking another date?!?!?

You are determined to kick my butt into high gear. I need that! Bring it on...

That's right! NO REST!!

Well I don't celebrate/care about Easter but I signed on anyway. Any date works well. 19 June works fine as that happens to be my birthday which I am sure all of you will celebrate.

6 lbs and 5 days to go.... I'm not giving up!

Ok, since we didn't get any disagreements about 4th of July from anyone outside the US I think I'll create the new challenge for that date. Only because it allows us a few more weeks to hit our goals, and I like that. I really liked this Easter goal because it gave us more time and I think I might make it!!! I'm down .6 Lbs and on TOM!!! WOWWW!!!! I gotta keep the hope afloat!!

Grrrrrrrr, dang,

I don't think I am going to make it!!! I just am finally breaking an almost 3 week stall () but, dont think I can possibly drop these 4+ pounds by Sunday . I love this challenge tho and will certainly sign up for the 4th of July one! AND I will keep working hard to get to my Easter goal - I will take every ounce I can get!

On a better note...every size 14 has been removed from my closet and now it is filled with 12's and 10's! Today I am in a fashion show for work - Spring and Summer wear ( business casual appropriate). Both of my outfits are from the Limited - size 12 and 10's! I will try to get some pictures so I can post my modeling debut! Look out Americas Next Top Middle Aged Model Search - here I come!

Don't know if I'll make it but I'm sooooo excited that I'm out of the 190s -- I've been there FOREVER!! And I haven't been this low since 1992!!! Woot!

Oh, and July 4th is fine with me even in Paraguay (but I am an American . . . )

Keep your fingers crossed for me on these last 3.2 lbs!

I am frustrated, I have been 1 pound away from my Easter goal for the last week and the scale isn't moving!!!

Comon 175!!!!

I am going to miss my Easter goal by about 5 pounds. I set a big goal this time and I never gave up nor do I plan on giving up. Stalls got in the way and life but you know what I will make the next challenge!!!! Sign me up and who knows miracles do happen. I still could make my goal by Sunday but I doubt it.

Hopefully, I can do it
