4th of July Challenge!

Qt_JJ

Hey y'all! The 4th of July is in 8 weeks and 2 days. I CHALLENGE anyone to join me in trying to hit a goal weight by the 4th of July. Independence Day is a day of picnics, parties, and swimming, and I want to be well on my way to my end goal by then. Although I've lost weight in the last year, I lost motivation around Thanksgiving and just sort of let myself fall off the wagon. I am chasing that wagon down and climbing back on, even if I have to use a bull-horn to get the driver's attention to slow down!

Starting weight: 185
4th of July Goal: 175
End Goal: 150

Thanks for participating! Feel free to join any time! Check ins are whenever works for you!

What a great challenge!! I started MFP in june of last year and did really good (20 pounds in 8 weeks). Then I took a job at my kids' school The cooks there are great and spoil the staff. It was so easy to let myself slide. I have also chased down the wagon! 8 1/2 days of school left, so the temptation will be so much les!!

Hmm... I was all gung-ho for this, then I went out of town for my brother's graduation. I havn't weighed myself yet, but I've got to be up at least 3 lbs. *shudder* Oh well, 175 is still my goal by the 4th. It'll be harder now, but I can still make it!

I will work hard and give this a shot. I read in a magazine that the best way to get and stay on track with weight loss is to give yourself unofficial 48-hour goals...like, "I will go to the gym for an hour each other next two days." I am going to try that and see if it helps me reach my goal for the 4th. I have tank top and a skort I'd like to fit back into! :glasses:

I remember that moment. Unfortunately, I didn't have the get-up-and-go you do, and I gained another 10 since then. I'm really trying now, though. I think this website is really going to help.

Okay so I weighed for my first week back on MFP and I am down 8.5 to 366 woohoo! Ok so some was due to the stomach bug I had last Sunday, but I think most of it was just watching my cals and staying on track. I told some Entermann's doughnuts that nothing tastes as good as thin feels this morning lol! I left them sitting in Wal-mart.:drinker:

oh my goodness. I cheated yesterday. :ohwell: I went 200cals over my goal. Geesh. Ya know, I'm never doing that again. The feeling I got after I realized I went over...well...it was extremely disappointing. It was so disappointing that I ended up dreaming about it! HA! I had a dream that I ate 4 HUGE pieces of chocolate cake and then ended up crying. :frown: Oh man, who dreams about over eating...that's pretty bad.

Qt_JJ

Amy! That's fantabulistico! Way to go girl!

Kidvicious, you can do this. Yesterday is over and today is a new day. You have to let the past go, and just let yourself hit the 'reset' button. If you stress out about overeating, you'll just do it again and again. Every day is a new day, and every day is a new chance.

Now, ladies, wish me luck, I'm about to go grocery shopping :ohwell:

Cindysunshine

Hi, after weigh in today I think I need to change my 4th of July goal to 300 pounds from 305 pounds. I have lost 11.6 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I only need to lose 12.8 pounds to be 300 and I think I can do that by the 4th. Cindy

Kidvicious28

woo! I just weighed myself annnnnnnd I lost another pound! Even after last nights cheating episode! Thanks for the encouragement! I went to the gym first thing this morning and ran for a 1/2 hour. I feel great :flowerforyou:
