Ok everyone. Here's the next challenge. Labor Day!

Bear with me as I adjust to taking over the challenges from Bea.

Not sure if this link will work but lets try. I am also not terribly great with Xcel..but I know the basics.

First weigh in will be Monday July 7th. That will give us all a total of 9 weigh ins from start to finish, which will be Monday Sept 1st. It will be a long challenge, and will carry us threw the rest of summer and into start of fall.

I will post another with the pointers, rules etc for the other challenges. Same apply to this as all of the others.

Just make sure to adjust your goals to accommodate for the 2 months we will be in this one.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. I will like the posts as I enter them in, so that will not change.

One more week!! Let's make these last few days count! Life is busy crazy again for many of us, but don't forget to take time to balance it out and do a little self love check along the way!!

Crap! I forgot to report in...I was 206 on Monday!

I won't be able to check in tomorrow, so my final weight for this challenge is 244!!! My goal was 250. I am thrilled!!!!!

Same here I may not be able to weigh myself tom so today my weight is 165.4 my goal was 168 so I am satisfied and I will resend another update by Tuesday just incase if there is a change. Let me know where to sign up for the next challenge

One more day!! I will have to weigh In When I get home!! I have been in a stall and haven't stepped on the scale since last week! Haha

Unfortunately I will be unable to complete this challenge as I was admitted to the hospital earlier this week with a medical emergency. I was bleeding internally and lost half of my blood supply due to an ectopic pregnancy that I was unaware of that ultimately ruptured my fallopian tube. I'm devastated as this is not the first time this has happened to me and now I am left with no tubes at all and can no longer have anymore children. I am blessed to have my daughter but it looks like she will be my one and only. It hurts because I had wanted to get myself healthy enough to be able to give her a sibling and now those dreams are crushed.

I'm out of this challenge as the IV fluids have caused me to gain a bunch of weight. I know it's not weight from fat and its only water retention and it will go away. I'm hoping to be able to participate and complete the next challenge.

See the Halloween challenge thread! I set that thread up a week or 2 ago too. It starts on Friday of this week as our first weigh in.

Oh no! That's traumatic. .I'm so sorry for your loss. My last pregnancy I was told it was possibly ectopic, so for 2 weeks I couldn't do a thing except check my temp every few hours. I managed to hold onto that baby until 32 weeks. She is now a healthy 5 year old starting kindergarten on Tuesday.

While the loss of both tubes can never be diminished, maybe this was part of a bigger plan for you.

Get yourself well honey. There will always be more challenges to join in once your healed up and ready for it!

So sorry to hear about your devastating loss Ree, prayers to you!

I've been substantially hungrier these days...yikes! Glad I didn't gain, but no change from last week.

Final weight: 139.2

Halloween challenge, here I come!

Ree: I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have plenty of loving support.

My final check-in for the Labor Day challenge is a head-scratcher: 155 lbs. How does one lose 8 lbs in one week? I must have been retaining water like crazy. If this isn't a temporary anomaly, I have exceeded my goal for today by 8 lbs!

Appear to be in another stall. 268 again this morning. Did not hit my goal of 260.

194.6- up .6 lbs from last week. Did not make goal of 189. time to refocus for Halloween:)

189.0 this morning, 3 pounds away from the goal I set, but happy to be under 190! Yay! When is the next challenge? I love these!
