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!

I'm in! This is my first challenge and am looking forward to it!

Start weight: 298

Surgery day weight: 248

Todays weight: 219

Additionally: will add Wii Fit to my current daily walking

Let's get it!

I am gonna be "aggressive" since this is my first challenge.

Okay' date=' Im in! With ony 5 weeks to do this, I am going to be realistic. I am losing 4-5 pounds a month now so I will make my goal 5 pounds. I am now 146.9 (147) so I will go for 141.9 (142).

I'm joining in. I lost 21# in the Memorial Day Challenge; but my loss is really slowing down, so I am going to set this goal at 12#. That is about 2# a week, so I think that is reasonable.

I'll take the challenge. I weigh 183 today' date=' down from 370. I would like to get to 170 by July 4. That would be an even 200lbs lost. That is a little over 2lbs a week. We will see, things are slowing a bit lately.[/quote']
