    I'm in :happy:

    Original weight: 156.5
    Current weight: 154.5
    Goal for July 4th: 142
    Eventual Goal: 115

    I've already gained all my weight from the added muscle over the last few weeks, so this should be a pretty attainable number. Good luck everyone :drinker:

    I'm new here as of Friday but I'd like to join your challenge.

    Starting Weight: 185
    Current Weight: 184.5
    Goal for July 4th: 165

    I'm really going to need motivation and dieting advice. I've been struggling at this weight for 2 years now. (It's still baby weight.)

    This year I wanna wear a swimsuit and not worry about the way I look!

    I weighed in the for the week and didn't budge the scale. But I have noticed some muscle coming out. I have dropped a pant size and my new pants are starting to feel lose. So I know my hard work is paying off, I'm just not seeing it on the scale. I will work hard this week and see if I make some headway for next week.

    Starting weight-184
    Current weight-171
    4th July weight-160
    Goal weight-140-145

    I am totally game for this challenge. I was just talking about how I was excited for the 4th of July and now I am looking even more forward to it.

    Starting Weight: 137.7
    Current Weight: 136.6
    4th of July Goal: 123.7
    Overall Goal: 120.0

    I lost 37 pounds two years ago, and since then have gained 20 lbs. back. I really loved how I looked and feeled, so I am planning to go back to that. This time I am pacing myself and want to focus more on maintaining the weight rather than reaching that goal quickly. I am tired of my weight yo-yoing up and down. Thanks for your support, I will check-in every other day.
