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!

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!

Sounds good- and Bea... Thank you hopefully u can still check in periodically!

So next challenge is.... Labor Day!?!?

No scale!! Ugh !!! Camping.. Can I post it on Sunday night?? Haha figures the last one!!

LOL! Post when you need to. As always, we're flexible here.

165! I think that was my challenge goal. It is my personal goal so now I need to maintain.

Alright, so there is now a Labor Day challenge thread going now. Feel free to add your name to the list for this next challenge.

Also, as Bea prepares for her new life across the globe, let's thank her for everything she has done to keep us on track and inspire us. I for one know that often these challenges have been the one motivating factor for me in my life.

Thank you Bea. Also...I need a crash course on how to post links and how to post that thread link on his one. Or can someone else do that for me?

I can't find it??
