***July***Weight Loss Challenge--Sign Ups Always Welcome!
Welcome to the **July** Challenge!
If you’ve participated before, welcome back for another month! To all those who have not done this challenge (or any other) welcome aboard newbies!
The challenge is pretty easy & does NOT require a long term commitment. You pick a goal weight, and post your progress each week. You are NOT in competition with the other challengers—in fact, you are encouraged to cheer each other on. This is about having a reason to stay motivated throughout the month’s weight loss journey and having a place to post your progress to help you stay on track--some "extra" accountability for your actions because you know you aren't the only one who will "see" the results.
We'll have 4 weekly weigh-ins in July. I will not put weight data on the spread sheet until you report your weight info for the first weigh in. Our weekly weigh-in dates are July 3, 10, 17, and 24 with a final weigh in on July 31, 2009.
Weigh-in days are on a Friday...I did this because we started late for July and because some people do not prefer weighing-in on weekends. I personally could care less, I'll weigh on any day of the week; but, it's nice to switch it up every now and again.
I will normally post results by Tuesday—I will NOT email you to remind you to post.
So! Sign up--fill out the form below and post it EVERY Friday with your new weights.

DO NOT EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL POST because I won’t notice.
Thanks :]
Results of the July 10th weigh-in!
Thanks for noticing Kelly!
Having a lot of weight to lose probably helps. The tools, advice and support at CC have made a big difference. The lesson that's finally gotten through my thick head is that it's not about dieting, it's about eating right and exercising.

Good job, challengers!

Hey all, RL has been keeping me from posting, but I wanted to thank Navane and everyone else who has been hosting these challenges. I'm finally at 163 (goal 165). This was a good tool for keeping me on track during the week, and I wanted you all to know it was much appreciated! 
Won't be online tomorrow since we are taking our daughter to sesame place and spending the night.

Does anybody want to be my diet buddy? I am finding this really hard on my own so if anybody would like to take pity on me I would be extremely grateful! In return I promise to motivate and support on a daily basis.
