Hello everyone! This is my first challenge.
The second week of July we are going on vacation. That means bathing suits!!! I'm nowhere near bathing suit size, but I do love to swim and I usually don't let my size stop me. Still... I'm soo tired of being an eyesore, so I decided to challenge myself to lose another 10 kilos (22 lbs) by the 4th of July!!
If you are interested, please join me in this 10 week challenge. Your goals don't need to be weight related. Think about what you want to accomplsh by the 4th of July and come and share it here. Let's help each other along with our progress towards our goals.
For myself these are my goals:
1. Post weight and progress every Sunday here.
2. Lose 10 kilos (22 lbs) by the 4th of July and go from 108.5 kilos (my current weight) to 98 kilos. In lbs: From 238 to 216.
3. Eat healthy foods ONLY!
4. Log my foods every day.
5. Stay under my calorie allotment every day.
6. Maintain a high protein, low carb diet. (That has helped me lose 50 lbs already!)
7, Eat fish at least 3 times a week. (Includes shellfish and mollusks).
8. Drink 10 glasses of water every day.
I'd LOVE to have some company in this trip to FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE from excess weight!!

I have recently started this and am so motivated! This is the first time I have lost weight significantly in 20 yrs.
My goal for the 4th of July is to lose an additional 18 lbs which will put me just at 220. That's a number I haven't seen in about 10 yrs.
I hope I remember to come back and post my progress!0 -
You can count me in ! I am in a wedding in Aug and I am the oldest bridesmaid....so I can't be the fluffiest too !....lol.
I want to be 175 or lower by then. That means a weight loss of at least 23 pounds.0 -

I'm in!
I'd like to be on or near my target weight by then, and I'd like to be running 5k regularly.
I also intend to:
- Drink no more than twice a week
- Go over my daily calories no more than once a week
- Stop snacking after 8pm
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
- Eat at least five pieces of fruit or veg per day0 -
Thank you all very much for joining me! If we work together, we can kick butt by the 4th of July!!
To get started right, please post your goals for the next 10 weeks, and if weight loss is one of them, please post your starting weight so you can keep track of your weekly weight loss and be accountable to your peers.
Accountability is a big part of these challenges. Knowing that you will have to post for everyone to see your progress may stop you from eating that piece of cake, drinking that extra drink or lazying around instead of doing your exercise!
Remember, this should not be only an once a week post. I hope you will share the trials and tribulations of your journey every day. I know I will try to, at least!
Best of luck evryone!0 -

My goals for the next 6 weeks are to work out 5 days a week, stay under my calorie goal, and lose 6-8 lbs. I will be working the census during that time so I hope to do a lot of walking.
