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!

My first challenge as well. I'm 2.5 weeks out, so not sure if my goal is doable or not, but I'll try!

Pre-op diet weight 221.5

SW 210

CW 195.5

Goal 179.5 (16 lb loss, 4 lb/week)

Goal #2 start Couch 2 5K in June and sign up for my town's 5K in September!

I've never done a challenge, but I'm in. I am a very slow loser but going to try to be aggressive by eating better and exercising more. I want to lose 12.8 pounds.

Count me In I just got sleeved on the 30th so I'll say at least 10pounds by then whoop whoop I'm excited :-)

July 4th ends on a Wednesday so do we want to weigh in on Wednesdays?

I'm good with that. That way it's consistent.

Yaay me! Lol Rode my bike 2 miles AFTER pushing it down the hill and then UP the hill. Folks, this ain't just ANY hill. Straight up ! My driveway is a long straight up drive to the top of a hill! It scares everyone who has to drive it the first time. All I could think of the whole time was " da da da da daa da. Da da da da daaa da...". Think Dorothy. Lol

Ok, I'm in... a lot of life drama for me the past month and a half. I'm ready to get with it and finish this journey!

Starting Surgery Weight: 271

Current weight: 142

4th July Goal weight: 130

Final Goal weight: 120

Let's rock n roll!

Former_vbg, Wow! That is a low goal. How tall are you? Awesome weight loss shofar?

Thanks NannieG. I'm 5'3", so I'm a shortie... LOL I haven't seen my surgeon since a few days after surgery- he's in TX, I'm in MO. I've worked w/my PCP during the past year and he set the goal of 120# for me w/the reasoning that it would give me 5# of wiggle room. He has seen me struggle for years on the weight thing and so I am going for it. I haven't been 120# since probably junior high... 140's probably early high school. By the time I graduated h.s., I was probably knocking on 200#...

This was a great week in so many ways, first I lost 5 pounds and second I finally made it to twonderland! Tonight I'm going clothes shopping since none of my pants are staying up. Etiher that or buy a pair of suspenders. I'm so gonna kill this challenge. I have so much more energy now it's so hard to believe.

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