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!

216 today

Forgot to enter my weight last week- it was the same, 208 and this week I'm 206. 1lb away from my goal for the 4th. Don't think I'm gonna make it but I'm ok with that because I've been in a stall for 2 weeks and I worked hard just to break it and lose those 2lbs. Thanks for doing these challenges they've been much appreciated!

Oops, forgot to check in on Friday.

CW: 130.7

Hey Bea....has anyone stepped forward to take over the spreadsheet yet? If not, shoot me an email. Kelly_doane@yahoo.com.

135 for last Friday!

No change. .. 130, stuck in a rut!!!! Still losing inches and toning up , i can't be sad about that!!!

I haven't had a chance to weigh til today. 214! I haven't been below 218 in over ten years

You are awesome- as far as I know- no one has- I volunteered to 'cheerlead' everyone but I am naive in regards to the spreadsheet and technology--

I was hoping the next would be a Labor Day challenge .... Fingers crossed

My goal for this challenge was 225 by the 4th and I'm at 229 today. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to quite achieve it but considering I was at 250 when I set my goal, I'll take anything lower than 229!

Wow, weight loss can be fun! When is the next challenge?

Several people have volunteered to be cheerleaders and supporters. I suggest you go ahead and start a new thread for the next challenge. That way we can point people to it (by putting a link in here) and they can get ready for the next go 'round.

Thanks so much for volunteering!
