5 for August Challenge! (Sign up now!)

[Mykelogan]

Hello All,

After watching Lesli54 shepherd such a successful July Challenge I figured, why not see if I can do the same for August! Thanks for the inspiration Lesli!

Following the same setup as last month (and probably the many before!) losses will be tracked as follows:

.1 - .4lbs. lost will bin in Magenta
.5 - 2 lbs. lost will be in Red
2.5 - 4.5 lbs. lost will be in Sea Green
5 lbs lost will be in Blue
5.5 - 8 lbs. lost will be in Dark Orchid
8.5 - 10 lbs. lost will be in Yellow
10.5 lbs. and over will be in Medium Turquoise

I will update on Wednesdays (and more often if I see those great losses rolling in!)! Here is the clippie I made, it's my first so be gentle:

Hi, I am new to this thread, but would love to join in to lose 5 in August.
I just got home from holidays and found I gained 6 pounds while there!!! AHHH!!

Am I supposed to post a chart thingy or follow a specific plan or anything?
thanks

 

[2nd childhood]

Hi. I think I understand this August challange, but not really sure. Maybe someone could tell me in novice terms. Colors? Minutes? Pounds?

 

[MJTinNH]

Hi Mike!

Please sign me up for the 5 for August challenge. Thank you for keeping this thread!

 

[NCRedding]

I have got to get back on program and losing, so I am in for the challenge.

 

[cbrfan]

I'm in. The July challenge worked well for me. I like having smaller goals. Thanks, Mike, for heading up this month's challenge. And congrats on your great loss for July!

 

[lillygator]

I would love to join as well........do we post our weight on 8/1/05 and go from there or what are the "rules"? (sorry - never participated in one of these!!)

 

[lillygator]

I went ahead and added the clippie -!!

 

[dopey4disney]

Hi lillygator!

No need to apologize! July was my first challenge and I had the same questions! All you need to do is weigh in during AUGUST at your own pace (weekly, bi-weekly, whenever you want!) and report your losses, etc. here. Then on wednesdays (or more often as I am excited!) I will update everyone's tally's in the opening message. I will be adding the challenge roster there soon! You don't have to report your actual weight unless you want to. This thread is also a place for the challengers to report their highs and lows if they wish, and for us to support each other!

Welcome aboard! The Clippie looks great on you!
Mike

 

[Tink78]

Pls sign me up for this too.
Thanks

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Mike! Add me, please! Would love to lose 5 in August (or anytime for that matter). I was too frustrated to jump on the band wagon for July, but hopefully, with the 100 day challenge, losing 5 in August will be easier!

Thanks for the awesome clippie! Can't wait to add it.
Good luck, fellow challengers!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Mike!

You can count me in, too!
