I am new to the site and I need support! Only 5 weeks until the 4th of July, are you up for a weight loss challenge? I was thinking we can weigh in weekly, and hopefully see some great results the next 5 weeks. Become my friend and lets work together to get in hot summer shape :)

Leave a comment if you want to join the challenge, and I will add you as a friend. I will post the weight loss results each week, and we can share tips and recipes!

    I am in!!!! I have lost 4 lbs in a month. My daughter just turned 3 and I realized that I still look like I am 3 months pregnant. Need to get rid of the tummy area! This month my goal was to keep my sugar around 20 grams a day. Monday the 30th I am going to incorporate natural sugars back in. Excercise too!

    I'm in. My goal is to be 5 lbs less then I am now!! I'm currently 157 so that would put my goal weight at 152. I know it seems like a small goal but I'm working on the last 20 lbs and it's a lot harder to get them off then the first 20 was!!!

    Sounds like fun. My birthday is on the 13th so this can be great motivation to buy something nice to wear on the 4th. :)

    Hi Everyone! My name is Marianne, and I am looking forward to sticking this out together. I am a group fitness instructor. I teach strength training, bootcamp, and interval classes. I LOVE to exercise, but I also love to bake and eat delicious food. I am striving to learn greater self discipline when it comes to the foods I eat. I want to lose 10 pounds, but more importantly feel more control over my diet. Why the 4th of July? My brother is getting married on July 1st, and lets be real... I want to look like one hot mama! Also, I want to feel a sense of FREEDOM from obsessing over this extra weight I have put on :)

    Here is the list of those who are participating. When you get a minute, introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your goals for this challenge. If you do not introduce yourself I will assume you are no longer interested in joining our little group. Let's keep this challenge positive and supportive. I think we should weigh in on Monday mornings, because I think it helps over the weekend when you know you need to weigh in on Monday morning. First weigh in Monday May 30th!!!!

    Here's my little about me blurb via Marianne's request (plus, its nice to get to know each other, right??)...

    My name is Ally and I'm taking this Operation 4th of July Challenge for mostly to keep up with my already ongoing diet/exercise regimen, but also because I'm turning 25 August 9th and am going on vacation back to San Diego to visit friends. Since I will be there during my birthday, I'd like to look smokin' hot!! ;-) Plus, I've really been looking forward to turning 25 and I'd like to start it off by being in the best shape possible.

    I look forward to getting to know everyone and doing this challenge together. Kudos to Marianne for thinking of this genius idea!! Loosing weight and being on a diet/watching what you eat to become healthier is hard, but support is everything. Please feel free to add me if you'd like a good motivator and just some plain ol' good support.

    Take care and Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone, stay safe!! XOXO
