***LOSE 20-30 lbs BY JUNE 1ST***please post info in new thread

Hello guys and gals,

I'm back and I would like to start another challenge.  Last time when I did the "lose 10-15lbs" challenge, it helped me tremedendously -- I've actually lost 11 pounds during that month and a half.  I haven't reached my ultimate goal weight yet, and therefore would like to propose another challenge to keep each other motivated.  This time, I would like to challenge those interested to lose about 20 pounds by June 1st.  June = SUMMER!  We have exactly 17 weeks if we begin weigh-in's on this coming Sunday.  20 pounds in 17 weeks sounds like a reasonable goal right?  YES, we can do this!  I'll start:


SW: 170

CW: 125

GW: 105

Height: 5'2.5''

Anyone care to join?  Official weigh-in's will begin this Sunday, Feb. 10th.  Let's do this everyone!

It would be great if everyone can edit their post to add the list of weigh-in days and update each week so I can easily keep track:

1. Feb 17 = 125.8
2. Feb 24 = 127.0
3. Mar 2 = 127.0
4. Mar 9

We have a final count of 50 eager participants in challenge. Since the minimum average weight loss goal for each person is 20 pounds (with some wanting to lose 15 pounds, while others 30 pounds), together we should lose at least 1000 pounds.  This is a group challenge, and therefore, everyone will be held responsible for reaching this goal weight loss.  Good luck and let's keep each other motivated...yah!

PS:  If I'm missing anyone, please leave me a message and I will gladly add you.  Thanks again.


Week 1 -- Together, we have lost 64.5 pounds/940.0 pounds.  Go US!  The person who has lost the most weight is *** kevin_k *** -- losing 7.5 pounds in just 1 week -- very nice.  (I have to go now, job interview coming up, but I will update more -- and by the way, I'm quite impressed with the attendance for the first week and overall, everyone has done great.  I'm thinking of a penalty for those who haven't lost anything this week..lol )

Week 2 -- We have an overwhelming number of participants at this point.  The group will now officially close.  I just want to give a big welcome to all those who have just joined us. Since we have so many people, I realized that I have made mistakes in numbers here and there.  Please kindly correct me.  Also, I would really appreciate it if everyone can post their weigh-in and how much they have lost since the challenge.  Also, it would be great if everyone can just edit their original post when they weigh-in instead of making a new one -- it gets a little bit confusing for me. I see some of you guys already doing that and it has been really helpful.  So thank you for that. After 2 weeks of no weigh-in, I will take your name off the list unless you let me know.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have, the biggest loser for the challenge so far is: CHERRYWILD -- who had lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks, congrats. Everyone is doing great, keep up the hard work and motivation.

I'm so sorry for the delay everyone.  I've just moved to another state and still trying to settle down (and also get a new scale :( )  For the first weigh-in, I will make a record of everyone's current weight as their starting weight if that's okay with everyone. 

But please, hang in there.  I promise this will be worthwhile.

Thanks so much guys! :)

I am wanting to lose some weight before my sweet sixteen.

If my finances work out...I'll be studying abroad this summer :) in Italy. But even if that doesn't work out...being at my goal weight is something I've never achieved healthily. So here we go.

Hi All.

I've been doing pretty well, thus far, with this "not a diet, but a lifestyle change" thing! And I'm really excited to have some people to share with.
