July 4Th Challenge

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!

Starting weight: 670

Current weight: 657

Surgery weight: TBD

Well didn't do as well as I'd like currently 643.

But okay I guess since I'm 18 hours pre sleeve.

I applaud you even doing a challenge being pre-sleeve, not many folks do that.

Here's to you welcoming you to the other side.... "the losers bench". Keep us posted once you are up to it after surgery!

Good luck!

Yay Patrick! An early welcome to the club. :-)

I reached my July 4th Challenge weight of 209 and maintained it for 3 days. YAY!

Congrats, Spirit Fire! That is awesome!

This week was not a good week for me; I had a fibro flare and a visit from Aunt Flo. I swelled and gained 2#, so this hampered my progress. I was able to take it back off +1# more though. In the end I lost 3#, but I am only 1# lighter. I don't think I will make it to my new adjusted goal now :0/
