Summer Challenge

This summer is the time to get on track and lose weight! I used to be very active on MFP and lost a ton of weight with these challenges providing great support. Unfortunately life got in the way and I've gained back about half of what I lost, so I'm starting over.
WHAT IS THIS CHALLENGE? I'm going to set a goal that I lose 15 pounds by AUGUST 28TH. You set a goal that works for you! There will be weekly challenges posted to encourage us to EAT healthy and get MOVING!
HOW DOES THE CHALLENGE WORK? On MAY 29TH check in to this post with your starting weight and your goal. Every week on Tuesday you will check in with your current weight and how the challenges went for you that week. I will be keeping track of everyone's loss and how close they are to hitting it on a spreadsheet on google docs.
WHO CAN JOIN? Anyone can join! However much weight you have to take off, you're welcome to join! I just want this to be an encouraging and supportive challenge.
HOW LONG IS THIS CHALLENGE? It runs from May 29th to August 28th. Check-ins are every Tuesday. But feel free to weigh whenever works for you and comment as much as you want on the forum!
Any questions? Who's going to lose weight with me this summer?

I think I'm just going to use the topic. The best luck I had with the challenges was in the topic and not when I tried it in a group.0 -
That can be reevaluated though if things start to get confusing. Glad to see some people joining! 0

I'm in too! I'm 18 lbs down but have 26 to go, so this will be perfect!0

What a great idea! I love the encouragement aspect and look forward to seeing everyones numbers melting away by the end of summer. See you on the 29th.0

I'm in - I've been losing a pound a week recently and found out this morning that I've put on 3lbs which really got me down :frown: Hopefully this challenge will keep me going - August is also my goal date so it's perfect for me 0

I am in...I would like to lose 30 pounds by August 28th!!!!0

I would like to take part in this challenge. Joined MFP a while back, but never really posted anything so I am new to this site. Bare with me as I try to figure things out on here. I lost weight last year through a challenge at work, but gained it ALL back and then some. I really need this motivation to get back on track. I need to lose 40-ish pounds, but realistically speaking I will set my summer goal for 18 - that will put me back in Onederland!0

I'll join in too! My goal is to reach 15 pounds lost (7 more to go). I've hit a plateau and stayed there for two months (and recently picked up some bad eating habits again...) but hopefully swimsuit season will serve as a bit of an inspiration!0
