edited September 27 in Motivation and Support
So I am going away July 4th weekend and want to lose at least 5 pounds. If anyone wants to join in with me put their starting weight in a post. You will weigh in and list your starting weight and current weight.between friday and sunday of each week and hopefully by monday night I will have a spreadsheet made.

This will also be used for motivation and support from one another.

Please feel free to add me :)

    CW 180. I need a little extra motivation so hopefully this helps. This also means I need to start weighing myself more often.

    I've been waiting for a challenge! Normally, I'll weight in on Sundays to help you get everything in the spreadsheet. But I missed the morning window today, so I'll send in my weight tomorrow. I'll be shooting for 6 pounds down by July 4th!

    Totally forgot about mentioning this :/ thanks for reminding me. I'm probably gonna do a task once a week but will be like week goals.

    I feel like since this is the first week I want you to list some goals that you are gonna/wanna do for this week (list however many you want)

    Mine are:
    - drink at least 8 glasses of water
    - eat within my calorie limit
    -eat healthy foods
    - exercise everyday for at least 30-45 minutes

    I am in, my last weight in weight was 245. I will not weigh in again until wednesday! So for now I will say starting weight for this challenge is 245. I'm going to really put it into gear because I am going to reach for 10 pounds lost by July 4th. Good luck to myself and everybody else.

    Kristina - just choose a weight loss goal from now till 4th July - something you CAN achieve and then aim for it. Weigh in each week and track your progress, natter for support etc and it'll soon be July and we'll all have met our goals! lol

    1boy-4girls - I love your weight loss goal weights! I went up with each of my 3 too - am pre baby 3 now so onwards to pre-baby 1 by the end.

    Great to 'see' everyone aboard.
