    Me too! Me Too!

    Am I too late? I hope not. I seriously need a group to keep up with and hear all of the results (for motivation and cheering everyone on!)

    I too would like to lose 10 lbs by summer !

    A little about myself - I have a daughter that is 11 yrs old and we are taking a trip to Disney World in Sept. I need to lose weight by then so I can ride all the rides with her. When we go to amusement parks now, I don't tend to ride for fear of being embarassed that I won't fit. It will be such a big trip that I really want to enjoy it.

    Joining this challenge will keep me accountable and I think it should be fun!!!!!

    I'm Ruth, 32, mother to four. Ages 8, 6, 4 and 2. I reached my goal weight of 152 today. I wanted to weigh what I weighed before I got pregnant for the first time. I'm having so much fun working out and being on MFP that I decided I needed a new goal. I set my new goal at 135 and I'd like to be in the mid-140 range by July 4th.

    I'm SOOOO in!

    I'm in the military, so is my boyfriend, and we're currently long distance (boo) but he'll be back in late June, so this is perfect. I want to WOW him when he comes into town!

    I can't wait. I have about 11 lbs before I hit my weight loss goal that I've been working towards for the last 3 years (on and off haha). I know I wont be able to get 11 lbs off, especially the last 11, in 5 weeks, but I'd like to get as close as possible!

    Height 5'8''

    Hey everyone my name well nic-name is Tae and I am from Texas (see how the screen name plays I am so creative not really but its early here lol)….I am married to a man in the Military and our one year Anniversary is July 2nd and I am lucky enough to have him home for it so I want to feel cuter so we can celebrate also on July 5th we are taking a trip back home so I would love to look great going home also.

    Goals to lose about 10-15lbs (more if I can take it lol but I am heavier so they do seem to fall off a bit faster lol)
    I had already lost 100lbs before marriage I have gained maybe 10-15lbs back of the past year and so I am back needing to lose about 80lbs….moving, getting married, and I quit smoking (I did this when I was 100lbs down because I knew I would gain weight back lol) helps to pack on the lbs even if you don’t realize it just seems to happen…but I am ready to get back to and get cute for me.

    I LOVE how excited everyone is about this challenge!!! To report your weigh in just reply to the Operation: 4th of July Challenge topic on the message board. Let's keep it simple. Put your Name, weekly weight lost, and percentage of weight loss. The person with the highest percentage of weight loss is the weekly winner. Weigh in on Monday morning and I will make sure to post the winner by Monday night. I will post the top 10 biggest losers of the week :) We have 5 weeks until the 4th of July!

    Example:

    Marianne
    Pounds Lost: 2
    Percentage: 1.48% weight loss

    Loss of 2.2 lbs which equals 1.01% loss I think .... I found a website and as I truly hate math and I am a smart person unless someone has a formula I am not entirely sure of how to calculate the % lost lol might just need more coffee
