Challenge: Lose 30+ lbs or reach your goal weight by Summer!(sign ups closed,new thread)

(can a mod please lock this thread?)

sign ups are closed!
the new thread is:
http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/7360 8.html




Basically exactly what the title says! Since Summer officially begins on June 21 or 22, can't exactly remember, that's when the challenge will end. For now, I'm thinking around 30-40 people for the challenge?
You don't have to have 30 lbs to lose to join the challenge, anyone can, thus i added the reach your goal weight by summer to the title.
People can weigh in everyday and post what they've ate everyday, but we will have official weigh-ins every saturday morning. (starting next saturday the 12th.)
My goal is to lose around 25 lbs. I used to be 125 ish in september, but then binged.. a lot, and am now 145ish. I need some motivation to get back into dieting and I believe this challenge is the perfect way.
So sign up! :)
(Btw I chose 30 lbs because I was thinking 5 lbs a month for six months till summer hits. But of course, you can lose more..hopefully!)

I want to be in it.  I  have to lose 18 lbs to get to goal of 135, but if I can keep going and get down to 125 that would be even better!  My hiny would finally be tiny.

I need to read the thread about sign ups for challenges because I quickly read it earlier and didn't quite understand it.
