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!

OK, I'm in too. I think I need a little inspiration.

I will put myself in for 10 lbs. and upping my exercise to 5 days a week from 3.

Starting at 285.9 (hey those decimals are important! ;) )

July 4th Challenge weight goal: 275

So, that would be 10.9 pounds

I'm in ..current weight 280 ...goal by July 4 ...260 ..let's see :)

Good luck everybody!!!

Haha, I am insane. I lose like 6 lbs a month now, but I am totally trying for 16 lbs for 4th of July. I don't know if I will make it, but I am going to at least get down 10 lbs. Exercise, water & protein for the win! I am already 2.6 lbs down. Let's do this!

Ok! I'm in too!!

That's 15lbs but I think I can do it. I haven't been exercising at all so my additional goal is 1hr of cardio 3 times a week. Hopefully that will help jump start me back!! Good luck everyone!!

Btw, when are we weighing in?

And to allmyjoy, not everyone stalls! I didn't! At all! Freaky.

I'm so in on this one.

My current weight is 245.4

Goal weight for challange 235

So I hope to loose 10 pounds and kick up my exercise to 5 days a week and move from walking to jogging.

Count me in, too!! I'm stalled (2.5 weeks now...ugg), so I don't know how this is going to go. Maybe this challenge will give me the kick in the **s to kick the stall in the **s.

Highest weight = 338

Surgery day = 307

Current = 259

JULY 4 GOAL = 249

Count me in too!

I've been hovering around 180 since my thyroidectomy 2 weeks ago and need this motivation to get moving again.

Thanks.

Me too! I think I'm gonna stick with 10 pounds. This is my first challenge. I would LOVE it if I'm actually successful. :tongue2: Good luck everybody!
