4th of July Challenge

  • Popular Post

Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Monday, June 1. From there on after, weigh ins will take place on Monday. The last weigh in will be Monday, July 6. This will allow a total of 6 weigh ins in all. The link for the spreadsheet is posted below.

A Few Reminders

  • You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post.
  • Please post weigh ins here in this post only.
  • We are all here to support each other, so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help.
  • If you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post.
  • if you miss a weigh in, no problem! Just report back in the next week.

But if you miss three or more weigh ins, I will assume that you no longer wish to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from spread sheet.

This challenge is for anyone! If you didn't have surgery yet, if you just had surgery, or even if you're in maintenance and need to have some accountability, this challenge is for you!!!

I lost 8 pounds, but not without a recommitment to my eating plan. I'm afraid to eat real food so exist on shakes, protein bars and water. I always gain when I start to eat real food. Where have some of you started with this? I'm almost exactly 7 months post-op. All help appreciated!!?!!

174.8!

180

didn't get a chance to log in until now -

i am still at 191

not bad considering i had a birthday last Friday - so had a big party Saturday loads of food and fun all weekend and booze galore -- hahahahah! :D I stayed pretty on track but i had a blast!

i lost 5 pounds overall on this challenge so i am very happy! it was fun!

Will u update me? 188.5 today!

Back from my holiday weighing in at 257 which means I achieved half of my goal. Not too disappointed as I was really off program whilst I was away but I committed to exercising every day so I'm proud of myself for that.

However now I'm back, it's full commitment and I look forward to the next challenge. Thank you Steph xx

Sorry. I've been out of town. Is it too late to post my final weight because I've been doing these challenges for well over a year and I finally made a goal!!!! 148.1!!!!!!!

As of today I am 203.4. Ready to start the Labor Day Challenge, yeah!
