Hey, Jen, why not post a non-weight loss goal to achieve during the challenge since you are at goal?

Hi I am in for 8 lbs.

[virtualjul]

Well, I did really well on the Summer Slim Down challenge (6 lb loss!), but since we're doing a 13 week challenge this time, I'm gonna pledge 7 lbs -- which will bring me to GOAL!!! :D It may not seem like much, but I'm a slow loser, so I have to set a realistic goal for my body. I'd rather lose more than I pledged, than not reach the goal I set.

I'm still tossing this around. I have 4 lbs to go to get to goal, but as I get nearer to goal I'm thinking about changing it from 150 to 147 or maybe even 145. So right now my main goal will be 150 - but if I can get to 147 all the better. Oh what the heck I'm going for 147 so that's a 7 lb loss! :D

Hey buddies graemlins/wave.gif I'm here and ready to join the challenge! I love these smile.gif I'm going for a loss of 10 pounds. That's less than 1 lb a week, so it should be a reasonable goal. That would get me to the top of my WW range ... not sure what my goal weight is going to be yet.

I pledge to lose 30 pounds...

How does this work? Is my start weight what I weighed at WI this week or from last week?

I'm in for 8 pounds by labor day.

~Sue
Edited to say-starting weight is 157.8.

Week 1 ~ June 3 - June 9: 159.8
Week 2 ~ June 10 - June 16: 157.5

Week 7 ~ July 15 - July 21: 157.0 hanging in there

Week 12 ~ Aug. 19 - Aug 25:

I'm in. Shooting for 14.2 lbs (that would put my weight loss at an even 30 lbs).

SW 221.4/CW 199/GW 150/PG 140

June 5 - Didn't weigh in. Was out of town on trip
June 12 - Lost .4
June 19 - Lost .4 (.8 total for the challenge)
June 26 - Lost .8 (1.6 total for the challenge)
July 3 - Lost .8 (again! - new total 2.4)
July 10 - Lost .8 (yet again! - total 3.2)
July 17 - Lost 2.6 (yea! - total 5.8)
July 24 - Gained 1.8 (TOM - total lost 4)
July 31 - Lost 1 lb (total lost 5)
August 7 - Gained .8 (total lost 4.2)
August 14 - Lost 2.4 (total lost 6.6 - got 10%)
August 21 - Gained .4 (TOM - total lost 6.2)
August 28 - Lost .4 (TOTAL LOST 6.6 lbs)

Ok - The challenge is over and even though I feel a bit short of my initial goal I have several things to celebrate. (1) This was the first time I have every faithfully posted in a challenge every week, despite gains. (2) I lost weight and did not gain during this time period (3) I realized that I am a slow loser and that's ok. (4) I reached my 10% goal during the challenge (5) I reached "onederland" during this challenge!

I hope everyone finds something to celebrate regardless of their initial goals. Remember the trick is NEVER TO GIVE UP. I am looking forward to the next challenge.
