Lose for Labor Day

inskydiamonds

Our initial weigh in and measurement day will be the Monday July 4th (TODAY!)

The goal:

Lose 10 pounds or more by September 5th. (of course you can still join us if you have less to lose! )

We will also take measurements of only : Neck, Waist, Hips, and Thighs. (MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT Required, but can be motivational on those weeks where you don't see a loss on the scales!)

THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS TO POST A WEIGH IN EVERY MONDAY.... and also measurements if you choose...but they are not required.
If you can't weigh-in today, get your first weigh-in in before next Monday if you can!
But anyone's welcome to join at any point during the challenge.

You come back to this thread to post your results. I will be making a spreadsheet of the loss every week!

I will try to post daily challenges for us. They are not "required", but are there if you want to do them. EVERYTHING WILL BE POSTED ON THIS THREAD!


So, JOIN US! Everyone is invited!
