Hi Everyone!

Denise

My starting weight is 158.2

My goal weight is 144.

That is 14.20 lbs- .92 lbs a week. I believe I can do it IF I stay focused, with this groups help.

Thanks for starting, I am excited!!

FitJ1210

This is gonna be a GREAT group! :drinker:

Hi everyone! Please, call me Sarah. :happy:

Denise offered me to set up our first challenge this week. So I've been thinking about it all day and came up with a little mix. It's all physical tests. Complete as many jumping jacks, push-ups (can be modified i.e. wall, knees, etc.), and sit-ups (crunches are okay too) as possible.

Personally, I'm going to attempt 300 of each throughout the entire week. We won't begin until Monday, March 21, since that's the last day to "weigh-in." So just think about what you can do, modify them if you need to, but don't be afraid to PUSH YOURSELF!!!

Very excited to get to know all of you and drop this weight together!

Sounds like a GOOD challenge, I'll have to think of a goal for next week.

Hi there! If its not too late I would absolutely LOVE to join in! I have always wanted to try a group challenge.

My Starting weight is: 157.0
Goal Weight for July 4th: 135
That's 22 lbs, I think I can do it! Its about a pound and a half per week... We'll see!

So excited for this challenge!

bluiz13

25 participants so far...it is never too late to join.....

thedestar

Start weight- 167.6 lbs
Goal by the 4th- 147.6 lbs


Yikes seeing those numbers is kinda scary! I think I can do it though! And I think my goal for the challenge will be to do 30 of each exercises (jumping jacks, girl push-ups, and crunches) every day next week.

Loving this group already :bigsmile:

shannonaufman

Linda -- I'm glad to see you here!! The 7-week challenge has gotten me into these challenges -- I love them! I'm glad you'll be here. You are an awesome motivator!

cmpettey

Ugg! I hate divulging my weight as it is a huge source of embarrassment for me. Here goes: 202. Hoping to lose at least 10. i'm a slow loser but at least the scale is going in the right direction.

oreyna49

I'm soo doing this...my current weight is 248...I hope to be down to 230 by 4th of July Weekend. I'm new to this, so I could use all the support I can get...:happy:

Sho_Rowell

I'm in! Never posted b4 or participated in a challenge... Very excited tho, because July 4th was my goal date! Starting weight is 204. I want to lose 24 pounds by July 4th; a little more than 1.5/week.

jllipson

I would like to join - I will post my starting weight tomorrow - I try to weigh on either Saturday or Monday, depends on how hectic my Saturdays are.
I like the water for week one - (80 ounces minimum) - that was the first challenge my husband had in a group he is in locally...

jllipson

My starting weight is 245.4 - Goal by July 4 is 210. I know that's over 2 pounds per week, but lately I've been losing 2 - 2.5 pounds a week, so if the trend continues, then it may happen!

I eat 1300 - 1500 calories per day, but exercise a lot lately and with summer coming, exercise is bound to increase with outdoor activities with my girls.

aflane

3/19 challenge starting weight -- 336. I'm kind of interested to see where I'll be on July 4. It can only be less. :flowerforyou: Now to get through hotel menus during next week's business trip. Hope they're ready for a picky eater! Cause with the progress I've made so far, I've become the PICKIEST!!

Yah - I'm joining in. Sounds like a great challenge. Bluiz - I'll give you my starting weight tomorrow first thing a.m. I usually weigh in on Tuesdays, but I'll change to Mondays. I'll provide my goal then, too. I know I'm shooting for 1lb / week, though.

The weekly challenge - I'll try daily for:

15 push-ups (regular ones)
50 crunches
120 jumping jacks

Thanks for organizing, Bluiz !
