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!

    That sounds like a good milestone date.

    Today: 208
    July 4: 196

    Oh, my gosh, just typing that makes me feel a little queasy. It doesn't seem possible. I have wanted to be under 200 pounds for a very long time.

    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:
