4th of July Challenge

  • Popular Post

Time for the next challenge...
4th of July Challenge!

Here we go with the rules and instructions:
1. Be sure and log in here on Friday, May 30, 2014 to post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge.
2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that this challenge is only 4 weeks long (5 weigh-ins).
3. Weigh in every Friday and post your updates here.
4. Watch the data at 4th of July Challenge (click to be taken to an online spreadsheet) to see our progress as individuals and as a team.

GOOD LUCK!

Note for you non-USA folks...even though it is not your country's Independence Day, it is definitely your country's "Fourth of July" (I mean, it's the 4th of July everywhere, right?!?) So here's hoping you'll think of this as a holiday to share with us and join in on the fun here. Happy 4th of July, folks!

I am back to 170.8! Grrrr lol

So in addition to my lady reply about being so happy for you Bea-- if no one steps up to this job you've been so great at- I think we should keep going without an 'official record keeper' and be our own cheerleaders-- I can help cheerlead daily but I cannot do the tracking and spreadsheets:)

Again so excited for you Bea!!

Fourth weigh in - CW 332 - feeling good! Can I make 326 tho? I'll have fun trying :-)

Third weigh in CW 338 - picking up the pace, not sure if it will be enough to get to goal - but I'm going for broke anyways :-)

Second weigh in CW 342 - slow pace on the down - I am the tortoise :-)

First weigh in CW 345 -,- a bit slow but a loss nonetheless!

(SW 348 - GW 4th of July 326)

CW-224

GW- 219

I am loosing about 3-4lbs a week average maybe I'll get to my GW.. got my fingers crossed.

Still hanging at my challenge goal of 155. I am hopeful to beat that next week.
