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:

Lets have some fun, lose weight and encourage others along the way.

Down 3 more lbs to 268. 

I need to step it up if I am going to hit my goal of 250 by July 4th. That means i am going to have to lose 4.5 lbs per week for the next four weeks. whew!

133.0

June 6: 185 again...

It figures that the week after I tied for 3rd most weight lost (yay!) I wouldn't lose a pound!  Ah well, it was vacation, what can I say? Back on the wagon this week! :-)

167.4 for June 6.

Not the greatest, but then again, I haven't hit the gym like I know I should. But I did paint a bathroom this week!

Ah, finally a darn loss. I'm not jumping for joy yet though, it's been like this before, but I hope like heck that I have busted through my plateau. I probably won't make my goal of 177, but hopefully I can get down into the 180's.

my lucky streak has ended! booo! but My weight this week is 179.4, so Ive lost like like a half pound. and Ive hit the 170's (just barely) yay!

My weight for this week is 218.5.  That's right I've lost 4.6 lbs which hasn't happened since the first few weeks.  Gyms are awesome!

June 6th:  186.   I'm a Loser. Or not.  Having a hard time but will not give up, yet.

Kaffwinn, Yuck! Too much information! 

 ase t  that is awesome weightloss you might be our winner this week

misskady  definately don't give up I can understand how hard the 180's are.  This is were I lost my motivation last time, but I refuse to be defeated

stevemayes  wow I want your kind of weightloss....must be true about a guy losing weight faster I see it in my husband  all he has to do is say he wants to lose a few pounds and they are gone that next week.  great job you are definatly on the way to being the overall winner.

June 6--- 132! woot!

good job everyone on staying in the game!

My weight for  June 6th was 196.75.  I'm trying just to keep it nice and steady.  I love this website.  It has really helped me to watch my weight.

Bummer I gained:(  up to 179.  I am going to blame the weight gain on my congestion due to allergies they have been bad this week.

Hello.  I am still 145, 145.00  to be precise.  I seem to be a bit stuck, but I am trying to be diligent and just keep on going.

125.2.

That's a number I haven't seen in a while.  Too bad it's not real.  From about 11pm on Thursday night until now (Sat morning) I have thrown up everything in my stomach and subsisted on water & diet ginger ale.  Gotta love the weight loss that comes from the flu...or food poisoning...not sure which it was.  Somehow it's just not as sweet.  I'm surprised I could "lose" 4 pounds in 36 hours, even artificially.  Weird.  I expect to gain on this by next Fri.

I posted May 30 data with post #310 but it wasn't updated on the chart; since it was the same weight as May 23rd., it may have been missed.

I'm not getting anywhere fast!

142 lbs this week.  I can't wait to get under the 140 mark...maybe next week!
