MAY 2 to JULY 4 Challenge -------- 9th and final WEIGH IN July 4th -------- COME JOIN -------- !!!OPEN!!!!

Okay time for a new challenge, maybe one that does not close.  Have you noticed how hard it is to find a challenge that isn’t closed.

There will be a winner every week that will be determined by percentage of weight loss.  And the winner gets the admiration of all the fellow competitors.  It's difficult to figure out much of a prize.  There will also be a final winner for best percentage by July 4th whether you join now or later.  Who knows you could be a part of this challenge for only a few weeks and have the best percentage.

Weigh-ins are on Friday, but I will accept weights as late as Sunday.  Starting next week you will need to have your weight in by Sunday evening to qualify for the awesome prizes.  I will still accept your weigh-ins after Sunday, but I will not change the winners.

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

Please do not edit your previous post each week, with so many participants it is difficult to go back and find everyone.  Go ahead and post a new message or email me with your updates.  Also feel free to post more then just your stats.  Use this space to encourage others and ask questions you may have.

If you would like to join let me know these few things:

This weeks weigh in is 271 Lost 3 lbs..  Its my one month anniversary for starting my new healthy lifestyle.  Lost a total of 25lbs in one month.

May 30: 168

yay!!!

May 30: 182.6

I really hope that's fluid retention!

Kinda' back on track.  139.7

Finaly broke the 140 mark.  Woot!

133. 1pnd is better than nothing. men have it so much easier!

my weight on may 23rd was 202lbs.  I am a little disappointed.  I went to the doctors and that's what their scale said.

154.6 -- good lord, I am still going in the wrong direction ....  I am not crushed because I didn't gain a lot, but I'm not real happy.  Then again, if I learn to control the chocolate monster, maybe I will drop again....

I have hit a darn plateau and I have been hovering around this weight for awhile now. AAAAHHHHH!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm eating about 1600 calories a day and working out hard 6 days a week (3 days cardio, 3 days weight training) about 40 minutes a day. Oh well, I see a differance, and I'm still losing inches mostly around my waist so this too shall pass!! Just not too good for this weight loss challenge.

I seem to be a bit stuck!  I realllllly want to see 144 next Friday! 

184.5 again! I seem to be stuck, too.  Next week, I will be 182.5. Someone hold me to it, PLEASE!!! 

I gained this week.  I was expecting it though so I'm not that upset.  So now I'm 223.1 up 1.1
