    I am in! I have to loose 8pounds. 2 pounds per week hmm. Cant wait for the daily/weekly challanges for motivation
  • Ok...I am in. I set up this site over a year ago but my sister just started it so it's motivation for me to kick her azz! I will see what the scale says in the morning and start from there. Or does this start on Sunday? I hope this will be the start I need since every time I have started a weight loss program in the past - I do well in the beginning...get confident (AKA lazy)...gain it back and then some!
    I am at my highest weight ever in my life and am hating it. Seriously.
    See ya'll tomorrow.

    Hi all! My name is Hilary. My last weigh in (yesterday) put me at 231.6. So my target for July would be 9.4 pounds...but let's just make that an even 10, why don't we? :wink: Good luck all!!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:
  • Hi everyone! I'm new here and decided to join in the group to stay motivated.
    I have to lose 3,4 kg and if I got it right it makes about 7,4 lbs... (Yeah, I'm not so familiar with that unit.)
    Good luck for you all.

    Hi, my name is Patricia. This is my first challenge. I have recently come back to MFP, after about 1 1/2 years. My weight is at an all-time high, and I think this challenge is the motivation I need to get back in gear. At last weigh-in, I was 299lbs, so my 4% is 12lbs, which I know is doable, as I am restarting my journey.

    Hi Everyone,

    I am currently 263.4 and 4% of that is a loss of 10.5lbs. That seems like a long shot, however, I like challenges so I will definitely aim for it. I also have a non-scale goal to drop one pants size in that month. Good luck to everyone! We can do this!!!

  • Hi all! I'm up for a challenge as well. 4% for me would be 7lbs, looking forward to getting started!

    :happy: Hello everyone! I'm super excited to start this challenge, I am currently weighing 161lbs, and been stuck at this plateau for about a week......It's frustrating to me cause I've been eating only 500cal. a day for 3wks! But I'm stopping that diet tomorrow the 30th, and on to eating more calories a day, with excercise thru the week. With the encouragement and support from this group, and of course LOTS OF PRAYER, I know I got this........I hope to lose 4% which is 6 1/2lbs by the end of July. Thank you for starting this challenge, and I'm praying everyone will succeed in their goals!!!!

    Hi everyone -
    I joined this challenge because I have hit somewhat of a plateau and need a boost to get past it. I started in January and am down almost 40 pounds with another 110 to go. My goal will be 9.6 pounds lost in July.

    Hey my fellow weight-loss challenge ppl! My name is Amy. I've been on a long 2 year journey to loss weight but have seemed to hit a brick wall. I can't get below 191lbs and it's becoming very frustrating. So I just joined myfitnesspal and saw this group and thought this is exactly what I need. I'm 193 today so 4% is 7.7lbs. I have a goal to do a fitness competition before I'm 40 so I have another 1 year and 2 months to get the body ..I've never had but always wanted.
