First challenge today: boyfriend's memorial day barbecue!! wish me luck!!

I'm in,  txtina! Great timing for me; that was exactly my goal for the summer (well, August 18). I've lost nearly 5 so far.

I am: 5'6" 195lb, vegetarian, near San Fran, Ca.

Thanks for starting the challenge!

Totally in it sounds great! Is it okay if I join; I only want to lose 10 pounds and gain a lot of muscle before our trip to Maui, Hawaii on September 11th!

I'm in! This is the first group I've joined. I think it will help and I like the idea of celebrating together. I'm 5'4" and I want to lose 15-20 lbs by Labor Day. (by my calculation, at 2 lbs per week it should be 22 lbs by then? am I doing the math wrong?)

Step one: I had a great day today and kept to my calorie goal for the first time in too long.

Count me in! I am 5'6" and looking to lose 15 pounds. 

I am looking forward to getting some motivation!

I am going to try this too! I have never done anything like this. I am trying to lose 25lbs by October3. My daughter is getting married and I want to look and feel great in my dress.

       &nb sp;  I have been so good this last week. I also workout atleast 3 times a week at Curves.

Good luck!!

Amy : )

I am soooooo in! I have never joined a group / forum before. Im excited to share and hear of everyone's success in September! I will be weighing in bright n' early tomorrow morning. We can do it!

Hi! I almost wasn't going to join because you are all a fair bit smaller than me. But I figured maybe that's what I need by way of encouragement and motivation: a bunch of girls who are already pretty healthy already and striving to be the best they can be :D

Here I am!

I agree to take baylily's Pledge: I hereby commit to this weight loss challenge in front of all you nice people, that I will endeavor to stay on track, eat in a healthy manner, and follow my chosen exercise plan from now until Labor Day, 2009.

I encourage each of you to take this pledge or a similar one that you create because I think it will help with our motivation.

We are all set to get busy losin' those pounds! Lets go to it!

Happy Memorial day!

My stats are as follows:
SW 165
CW 158.6
GW 129 by Labor day

 

I am way over in left field but would like to join with an odd set of conditions.

At the present time because of an injury that is going to take a lengthly time to heal I cannot commit to any exercise program that would be necessary for losing a sustained amount of weight. Yet I do not want to gain weight during my time of immobility. For the motivation and commitment belonging to a group brings I would like to join with all of you in my effort to keep on track TO NOT GAIN ANY WEIGHT between now and Labor Day.

I would weight in each week and record any gains, OR LOSES, I might experience. Also iI pledge to you my best efforts to succeed in maintaining, and hopefully even losing, during the time of your challenge.

The best to all of you.

Yay!
