    This is going to be an exciting month. I look forward to losing any amount of % just as long as I gave it all I had. Good luck to all.

    Hi,

    So excited to join this challenge! My 4% will be 10.2 pounds. This will motivate me to push my excercise up a notch this month. I can't wait to meet other people who can help motivate me to get this weight off once and for all.

    HI,
    This is also my first challenge. My 4% will be a little over 8 lbs. I am hoping to get myself under 200 and this is a great motivator. Thanks

    :happy: Hello All,

    I'm Tam and you can count me in, I love these monthly challenges. 4% for me is right at 10.3lb. Last month I was in a 10+ lb challenge is did pretty good, so I'm exited to have a another 10+ lbs off me. This month I will be starting the Supreme 90 Day program. So combined with my morning walks/jog I'll be doing the S90. Can't wait to see what it does for me :happy:

    Good Luck Everyone:flowerforyou:
  • Hi everyone! I've been gaining & losing the same 10 lbs for a little over a year now...am tired of the yo-yo dieting! I discovered MFP about 6 months ago but haven't logged or kept track of anything until this past month. I'm excited for this challenge. I'm at 178 lbs now and my 4% will be 7.12 lbs, but want to make it an even 8 llbs for July. Wishing everyone luck and feel free to add me as a friend, I need all the motivation I can get :)
  • Count me in for 8 pounds! I have lost weight using MFP before and have recently fell off the wagon. I found the daily food tracker very helpful but this time I am looking for people to hold me accountable. Excited to start tomorrow because today is my birthday and somehow I am not sensing much self control tonight ;)
    Some of my personal goals:
    Drink more water
    5 days a week physical activity
    Curb my serious bread addiction

    Good luck to all!

    I'm Taryn! I'm ready to lose at least 4% (6.5 lbs) in the month of July. June was a great month for me (1st month on MFP) so, I'm on a roll! My weekly goal is to exercise 4 times a week too.

    Good Luck Everyone!!

    He, everyone! I'm Sandy. I'm at 190.4 lbs today, which means a 4% loss (or 7.6 lbs) will bring me to 182.8. Keeping on track, that is just what I need to loose in order to hit my goal weight before the holidays (which is my Christmas gift to myself this year). Very excited to do this!! :smile:

    Hello. I'm Michelle and I'll be shooting for 4% loss of my current body weight of 179 (7 lbs in July). I've lost 58lbs in two years and still have about 20-25lbs to goal weight of a normal BMI. I'm starting P90X July 1, so a new workout for me may help change things up. What a great challenge!!

    I am starting this challenge at 216.6, so my 4% goal would be 8.6 pounds. But I think I can challenge myself to lose at LEAST 10 pounds. I am so excited and ready to beat the scale up. Add me for encouragement!!!

    I am new to MFP and I am excited to take on this challenge. A 4% loss for me would be 11 pounds .... a little steep.... but I am going to try my hardest to accomplish it. Good luck to everyone.

    I am Liz. I am going to try to start July off with a bang and I thought a challenge would help keep me motivated in July. I am currently at 157 so my 4% loss would be close to 6.5 pounds which is a lot but not impossible. I am trying to get in shape for my wedding next June. :)

    I'm Cara, a mom of an almost-3-year-old. I have been overweight since quitting exercising after a bad knee break in my teens. I've started doing fitness 9 months ago, but the weight loss has been slow.
    I'm looking for ways to get things going again.

    This challenge would mean I'd have to lose almost half of what I managed to lose over a full year in 2011, which sounds a bit steep but I'm going to give it my best shot! This morning, including some water weight, I was at 98,4 kgs which is almost 217 lbs. 4% would mean losing 8.7 lbs. Honestly, I would be delighted if I could manage to go below 210 in a month.

    Anyone from the group needing friends please hit the button, I could really use the support!

    (I live halfway across the world in Holland by the way, so I might be up at some odd hours for you guys)

    Hi! I'm hoping to lose 4% by the end of July, too! My weight as of this morning was 153 (which is what I put on the spreadsheet), but that could change up or down by Sunday morning weigh in, so I'll edit my starting numbers at that time. Currently that puts it at a 6.1 lb. goal to lose by the 31st of July. Hmmmm, that could be a tough one, but I'll give it my best shot!

    Ahhhh, if only I wasn't so honest!

    When I posted this earlier this week, I weighed in at 153 per above and that's what I posted as start weight on the chart, but when I weighed myself this morning (July 1) I weighed 151.5! The 4% goal hasn't changed much, I now need to lose 6 lbs. even (instead of 6.1) but instead of having a goal weight of 147, my goal weight is now 145.5, since I'm starting 1.5 pound lighter than anticipated! I could have given myself a 1.5 pound head start by leaving the figures stand as they were on the chart, but that would only have been cheating myself.

    So, I've changed my 7/1/12 start weight and 4% goal to reflect my 7/1 weigh in this morning. Bring on July! I'm ready for it!

    Oh, and has the week 1 mini challenge been decided yet? If so, what is it?

    I also had to change my weight, since I was down 2 lbs this morning. I'm at 188.4 lbs today, which means a 4% loss (or 7.5 lbs) will bring me down to 180.9!
