    I am doing the JULY challenge as well, but it never hurts to have more goals to shoot for along the way. I originally wanted to reach my final goal by my 30th birthday (June 1), but I think it is going to take me a little bit longer than that. So!

    Current weight: 193.2 (Tues)
    Goal weight: 175
    Goal weight loss a week: 1.5 lbs
    Pounds lost this week: 0 - since this is the first week! But 1.5 since last week.
    pounds lost total: 0 - again, since this is the first week. But 17 lbs overall.

    My new personal goal is to try and get to 10,000 steps 5 days of the week. I just got a pedometer and was amazed to see that my typical number of steps (not counting the gym) is less than 3000. :frown: So I want to start taking more walks at work and slowly work up my count. I may even (gulp) try to park farther from the door - a really hard thing to do in the arctic wind chills we've been having lately! BRRRRR!

    Well, I didn't make it to the gym to weigh in yesterday morning. The base was closed due to an ice storm. Wednesday afternoon I was 202 which is the same as last week, so I am hoping that is actually a 1 lb lose figuring that I weigh less in the morning. But I guess I will know for sure next Tuesday as that is the next time I will be at the gym in the morning. I don't have a scale at home... that keeps me from obsesing too much. Plus as far as the AF is concerned only their scales count as "official" I did however lose 1.25" off my waist!!!

    Current Weight 202 (PM weigh in)
    Goal Weight 175
    Goal Weight per week 2
    Pounds lost this week 0... missed AM weigh in this week
    Pounds lost total 23.5

    First week weigh in, 198 lbs, previous 200 lbs, did get the unexpected two lb weight loss. Happy about the 2 lbs after a Friday night out. I guess Saturday and Sunday of healthy eating offset the Friday night out. Good luck to all in the challenge and hope all reach their goal.
