Games & Challenges

Welcome to the July 2008 Weight Loss Challenge! Signups ended Saturday, July 5, 8:00 pm PDT.

Information for participants:

• Weigh ins are every Tuesday. (July 1, 8, 15 and 22, and 29) If you are unable to post on that day, please do so as soon as possible. If you do not weigh in for 2 weeks, your name may be removed from the participant list.
  
  
• Please make a new post for each weigh in, copying and pasting your previous week's info. This helps keep us current, and also bumps the thread.
  
  
• You can also tell us about yourself (your height, start weight, age, goal weight, your program, and so on) to encourage other people to get to know you and maybe make some new friends!
  

• During your updates, feel free to share how the week went for you, so we can encourage or be motivated by you!
  

• If your name does not appear but you did sign up, or it is misspelled, please let me know. Also please let me know if I miss updating your weigh-in information.

*** Note: Week 1 is July 8; week 2 is July 15, and so forth.

I've already lost 49.5 pounds, I began at 200. I'm 5'7" and 21 yo.

My ultimate goal is 140 lbs which puts me at a BMI of 22.

I run and lift weights a few times a week. But I do have trouble with food. :(

My scale's cheap and not terribly accurate, given that it will swing from 140 to 160 depending on where I put my weight (more towards toes, heels, left, right, etc.)  But, standing as straight as I can, and just moving my head to look down, it's somewhere around 148/149.  Hard to tell from up here ;-)

Love this challenge... good idea to see the progress over the month. I'm 29, 5'6" and have been trying to eat 1200 cal/day for the last couple of weeks. So far I've lost 6 lbs... so let's see how July works out for me!

Here goes my first forum post on CC+, sounds like reporting the weight every week to a group of others may be an additional motivator indeed. I would like to join.

I am 35 years old, female, 167cm tall (i believe this is about 5'5").

I would eventually like to work my way down to the middle of my recommended BMI, i.e. 62kg (136 lbs). This translates to 18kg (about 40 lbs) to lose. I am in no particular hurry and I hope to do it right so it's gone for good. That's about me. Good luck and have fun everyone! :)
