Hey all! I just thought of creating a group challenge through the summer until Labor Day (Sept. 5)! There are 97 days and some hours till Labor day and was thinking, if there were any interested people, in starting a weight loss challenge??
Let me know what you think!

Edit---- if you want to join send me a request with your starting weight and how much you would like to lose in that time and I'll set up a spread sheet or something and set up everyones information and keep track of it!

    Awesome!! How much do you think it's possible to lose in that much time, I believe it's about 13 weeks

    For me personally... if I say anything more than 10lbs I am setting myself up for failure! I am a SLOW weight loss gal ... but I would like to think I could lose a bit more. :)

    I would be up for one. They say it's not safe to lose more than 1-2 lbs/week...which if it's 13 weeks, that would be 26 lbs if you're doing 2 lbs/week...so maybe lose 25 lbs by Labor Day?

    Ok so I edited my Original post but if you'd like to join send me your starting weight and your goal weight you'd like to reach by that time and I can keep track of everyone's info on a spread sheet or something

    We should do weekly weigh-ins....does anyone have a preference? I currently weigh-in on Wednesdays but it doesn't matter which day to me really

    I always weigh-in on Friday. Maybe let everyone keep their normal weigh-in date and just have everyone report to you no later than Sunday of that week.

    I'm in. I will message you my details, but I absolutely refuse to stand on a scale until 6:15am on 6/15/2011. That's when I will officially be 32 years old and giving myself a nice birthday gift. :)
