  • 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!

Im having my surgery on 6/11 can I still join?

Anyone at any point is welcome to join. Just post your starting weight and July 4th goal tomorrow. Then come back every Friday (or whatever day you prefer to weigh) to report in :-)

Remember after surgery you will retain some water so the following week might not be what you think, but it'll get better after that comes off.

Good luck!!
