I luckly didn't have very far to go to get to twoterville

Seeing that at surgery date, I was 309(still can;t belive I got to that)

But the other day I stepped on the scale and was down to 285!

COngratulations to all the "losers" and it's great to read how well everyone is doing. I was out of town for a business seminar so I'm playing catch-up with the posts. I believe 7/4 is our final weigh-in but have we decided on when the new challenge will begin? Because my philosophy is "a new way of life forever" I would vote for no "time off" between challenges. What does everyone else think?

[RidinMyHDDream 1]

I concur Elisabeth. It helps me focus on my goals. I think we decided to keep it to a monthly thing though instead of over a long stretch. So if we're ending on the fourth do we run till 8/4? Or do we just want to make it from the first of this month to the first of the next and so on?

I vote for NO TIME OFF, I don't know about you guys but I've been having time off most of my obese days:heh:

[losingjusme 12]

i vote for no time off as well.

i like the idea of the monthly challenges, but may start a 'rest of summer' challenge on another post.

i need to get back into gear. started Low Carb after a few days of a break ... shhhhh .. dont tell Tann ...

btw, Tammy - i did make that cheesecake ... OH MY!!!! it was soooo good!!

[Elisabethsew 50]

OK, here's the July Challenge. I put in everyone's last reported current weight. Add in your goal weight and how many pounds to go. Remember, it's only a 31 day challenge. Good luck to us all!

OK, next time i go off low carb, i am not going to stay off for days. oh boy did i gain. i realize some (most???) is Water weight, but i will start with what the scale said this morning ... not a good thing... so, i am making a VERY aggressive goal for me. will i make it??? going to try my hardest.

[tann 2]

Christine, I'm learning that when I want to go off of the low carbs to stick with fresh fruit and yogurt and it also helps with the sweet tooth, and Fiber.< /span>

[RidinMyHDDream 1]

Thanks Elisabeth for setting up the new challenge! I've adjusted my starting weight to today's weight since it's the last weigh in for last weight challenge. (sorry, just wanted to see how many times I could get the 'w' word in....lol) I'm afraid 11 might be a little agressive considering I've been on the slow boat but I want to get to Sturgis next month at my 70 lbs gone mark. I'm 3 down from last week so I am going to do my best to get the next 11 gone as well. Good luck Ladies! I know we can do it!!! :whoo:

[juliegeraci 7]

I made it to 226 so I didn't make it to goal but I'm down 6 lbs.

[faithmd 14]

I think I'll wait and weigh myself in the morning for an official 4th of July weight (which would conclude the original challenge). My goal was 310. Lofty, I know, but I am 314 today.

I doubt I'll be 310 tomorrow, but let's see how close I can get!
