Labor Day Challenge 2011

Hello everyone! Hope everyone's fourth of July was as amazing as mine was!!! So I was thinking about starting a Labor day challenge to begin on monday the 11th of July and the end on monday the 5th of September. That would give us 9 weeks to kick our butts into shape!!!
On Monday, weigh in with your starting weight and officially declare your goal weight that you would like to achieve for Labor day! In addition to all that I would like you to insert a NWG (non weight goal) and what I mean by that is a goal thats not weight directed. ex. running a mile, or giving up soda for this challenge. The format to follow should look something like this:
SW-
Week 1-
Week 2-
Week 3-
Week 4-
Week 5-
Week 6-
Week 7-
Week 8-
Week 9-
Goal weight-
NWG (non weight goal)-
I know 9 weeks is a long time and as such the replies can get long and you may lose track of all you other posts so I suggest creating one post and coming back each week and editing that same post so it all in the same place. I will do my best to keep messaging each of you and making sure you did not fall off the wagon! We are here for support!! So who is with me????

I'm in... but am I adding wrong because I'm only counting 8 weeks from July 11 - Sept 5 (Labor Day). Or is Week 1 our weight on July 11 and SW is our current weight the day we sign up?
I have been sooooo close to my goal for way too long. I really hope this challenge helps push me there. I REALLY need a good push and this is the perfect time!

Count me in. We leave for Disney 9-17 so this is perfect. 7-11 would need to be week 1 in order for Labor Day to be on week 9... so I added my SW as of this morning. Hope that's ok.

Ok so I was informed of a miscalculation with the weeks and all together there is 9 weeks. SW is mon. July 11th and Week 1 is mon July 18th. I fixed it in this quote but the top post still remains as is. Also, since I do not have to edit my posts after I make them much and usually its within a few minutes of posting it, I thought the edit button stayed there, but after some searching I found out the edit button will only stay for about an hour after posting any post. so this means that we will have to make a new reply post each week, but remember that we can always quote our last post so that we can transfer the information to the new reply. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks and Good luck on this journey!!!0 -

I'm already doing a 12 week challenge, but I would like to do the 9 week one too I have a few challenges going on, the more I do, the more I'll keep busy! I'm doing a July challenge (my goal is to lose 10 lbs by the end of the month), then I'm doing a 12 week challenge, beginning Sunday until Sept. 30th, and my goal for that is to lose at least 18 lbs (winner of that challenge gets a $50 visa gift card, the challenge itself is on facebook......my final goal weight is to lose 37 lbs and I went for a half way point of 18 lbs), and now this challenge

I'm confused on the weigh in days. Is today week 1 or is it SW and next week will be week 1??
Today's weight should be SW (starting weight). Week 1 should be next Monday as I understand things. So you only need 8 weeks for the weekly weigh ins.0 -
