I'm not sure who normally starts these challenges so if I am stepping on toes, sorry! I was just anxious to get it started.

Now that the Memorial Day Challenge is officially over, who wants to join me in the July 4th Challenge? We have a little over 5 weeks in this challenge so I will make two goals:

1. Get to Onederland

2. Lose 11 lbs

My starting weight for this challenge is 201 lbs. Good Luck to everyone!

Weighed in this morning. Another pound down. 9 since starting challenge. One more to go but want to exceed it if possible!!!

Down to 213. Three more pounds until I meet challenge goal. Played golf today for the first time in four or five years. It felt so good but man am I sore!

Yaayyy to all of us!!!!!! We are winners!!!

I've lost a pound! Doing an Atkins-style plan before my liquids start next week. Haven't gotten any activity in though.

Wow, so awesome! Congrats!

Shucks, I hit another stall... Since last weekend no weight loss, but inches were lost! I'm now wearing a size 10

But this morning I weighed in and I finally dropped a pound, woohoo. I still have 9 pounds to go to hit my goal. I hope I can get there.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

I guess I have been in a stall over the past week. I've been bouncing back and forth with the same pound or so for a few days. I was 210.8 today so I've got about 9 days to get 5.8 pounds off. I've gotta kick into high-gear. I got on the treadmill today for the first time since 2 weeks after surgery. I'm gonna make a meal plan for this week and try my hardest to stick to it and get in 3 more days off exercise this week. 205 here I come!

Congrats! Way to go!

I made my 4th of July goal last Wednesday and decided to give myself a little break. Thursday was my 1 year surgiversary and so just kind celebrating the new me! I'm going to continue on towards my final goal of 120#, so just 10# more to go.

Then it will be maintenance here I come!!! Exciting but a little nervous at the same time.

Ok, the first part of the week started out not looking so good and then *poof*, it started to start happening for me. Hope next week is just as good. I started spinning class 2x a week and Zuma 2x a week, so I'm sure that's helping. 5# weight loss this week!!! If I make it past my goal, I'm just going to keep working towards my final goal!!! Hard to believe I'm this close. It seems soooo close, yet soooo far away if that makes any sense!
