July 7 - September 1 -Everyone Welcome!-

Heys guys!
So, I was an active calorie-count user and member.. but then, I just gave up and that resulted in me gaining 15 pounds! BLECH! THat's 16 MORE to lose make it 41 pounds that's gotta go. Oh boy. I plan to do this before the year ends. I'm definately not gonna start 2009 looking the way i am now.

But I'm taking baby steps and I go through this in 8-week time periods. After every eight weeks, I get to buy an outfit I would NEVER even THINK of buying :) .. I mean yeah I'm gonna shop in between but after the eight weeks, I plan to buy something eye catching and mind blowing !

I also plan to lose around 12 pounds every eight weeks. That's 1.5 pounds a week. It may sound simple but I'm not gonna try to slip through, I'm gonnna work my butt off for these eight weeks and maybe, just maybe, exceed my goal by a few pounds. BUT - less than 12 is not gonna cut it.

Okay, I'm not gonna post my weight until tomorrow which will be the beginning of WEEK 1.

&&YES! There are goals for every week for motivation. Winners will receive a sticker made by yours truly :)

kla I'm glad they found out what the problem is.  I hope you can get it balanced quickly.  Be prepared sometimes it takes a little time.  At least you're 2 steps ahead with the good diet and exercise.

Hi guys.
I'm so sorry for abandoning this challenge.
I fractured 3 of my fingers so I wasn't able to use the computer at all. They still hurt but I'm almost healed.
I won't be able to give out the prizes I has promised and I am SOOOOOOOO sorry.
I've been almost back to normal for a few days now and I am trying to get back into the losing game.

I have started a new group in the MOTIVATION forum.
30 lbs by Christmas.
Check it out.

Good luck! and congrats to those who have lost weight!

that's ok loseitx... crap happens.  I hope your fingers get better quick!

.....

If you give me a minute..... I can give out the sricker :)

I just need to get it and post it... then whom ever wants one, they can just copy and paste it  :)

brb

Here is a STICKER for all of the Jul7-Sept1 participants on behalf of loseitx!!

WAY TO GO!!

.............

you can add it to your gallery, but it will no longer sparkle.  However, if you add it to your profile, it will still sparkle  (that's if you even want it...)

loseitx, thanks for running this challenge! I goofed up from the very beginning and never did figure out how to edit my record for posting my weight each week so I kept it on paper and will record it now - a day early, but tomorrow is looming as a busy day.

Challenge met and goal achieved.

Well, I see I messed up again and got this posted in paragraph form instead of chart form as I had desired. Guess this comes from trying to be my own teacher and not knowing how to enter text on internet forums. Sorry!
