OK, now that our Independence Day Challenge is over, let's start a new one to keep us going...and hopefully more of us will get some restriction with more fills so we can all be successful!

We'll start on Monday, July 13, and end on Labor Day, Monday, September 7th. That's 8 weeks total (the last challenge was for 9 weeks if that helps you set a goal). Sign up now and then update with your start weight on Monday the 13th!

Same procedures apply: Hit 'Quote' at the bottom of the LAST post here (please be sure you're on the LAST post before hitting Quote there as the chain lost some updates last time) and then just add or update your own information whenever you want (delete the quote marks beginning and end of the list and anything not part of the list, ie. my words here).

*Changes from the last challenge-I got rid of the current date as it's whatever date you add/update and I tightened it up a little as mine was broken in two lines.

**If you want a ticker, go to ticker factory and pick the 'Objects/Actions Graphical Counter' and make one or copy mine. Click HERE to get started on a new one (or click on my ticker below and then 'Edit/Update'), then copy/paste the end ticker (not the code) to change your signature on LBT (user cp, sig).

Join me!

Sorry, I've been MIA for a few weeks, but I just checked everyone's postings and a few were left off again, I think they should be up to date now that I've added them back.

REMINDERS:

* You do NOT need to update this on a regular basis, just whenever you want to and of course by Labor Day.

* Quote the LAST entry (Hit 'Quote' at the bottom of the very LAST post here) and then add or update your own information. This is important: DELETE THE BEGINNING AND END QUOTE MARKS/PERSONS ID, NUMBERS AND THE BRACKETS!

What you need to delete looks like this at the beginning: (QUOTE=Band_Groupie;1267092) and this at the end: (/QUOTE) (except the brackets are the squared kind). If you don't do this the next person can't capture the updated list with your changes (and you can delete things not on the list, like these words!)

Thanks all, and happy weight loss!!!:smile2:

geez, this was depressing looking at your goal numbers. I am only averaging one lb. a week. what must I be doing wrong?

geez, this was depressing looking at your goal numbers. I am only averaging one lb. a week. what must I be doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong!!!!! Our expected loss is .5 to 1 pound a week more than that is gravy...mmmm gravy with biscuts...ooops sorry "SQUIRREL!". Seriously though if not all most of us have been able to lose several pounds quickly but we didn't stick with it.

I have to keep reminding my self that I'm the tortise(sp) in this race. Losing several pounds between weigh ins is great but the band will help me stick to a program for longer than a few weeks or months but longterm.

Follow the rules as best as you can try to get exercise and when you look back in a year you can say I lost.
