Independence Day Challenge-Last Call for Updates!

[ohMom]

omgosh what a better way to celebrate July 4th than to finally claim my red clippie?? thing is I have this agreement with myself that I will weigh my goal weight for 4 weeks (goal for me is 135 than to WI +/- 2 lbs thereafter) before claiming my coveted clippie. So -- with a trip to Vegas the end of May that would give me just two weeks to hit 135 than maintain it for a month. eek! that doesn't sound as doable -- but at first I thought "That's quite a ways off I can hit that"

sign me up -- I WI on Wednesdays and i'm 3 lbs off. I'll officially WI on sundays for this challenge too, keep me straight on the weekends maybe?

So far there are 19 of us participating for a combined total goal of 202.5!

Have a magical day!

 

[FonFon]

Sign me up for 10 pounds too! (And like some of the others, hoping for more!)

I'd love to join the challenge. I was just thinking today that I would like to be in Onderland by July 4th. What a way to celebrate my freedom from 200s. Put me down for 12 pounds for the 8 weeks.

BTW, I love you declaration!!!

 

[catherine]

I would also like to join this challenge! I'm going to shoot for 13lbs gone by the 4th. That would give me my 120lb clippie!

 

[robinb]

I was gonna say 10 (to play it safe) but, since robinb (My Cubbie pal ) has set her goal for 12(!).....allright, I'll go for 12 and, we can ROOT, ROOT, ROOT each other on!!!

Hillarious "Declaration", btw! Thanks for doing this! I KNOW how much it involves!

I'm in - Challenges help to keep me motivated and honest!

I'll say 15lbs by the 4th!

 

[lizdotcom99]

This could get pretty funny at some point and time...I will be in a cast and out of a cast...hopefully....during the course of this challenge! The weight gain is not going to be fun...but losing lots of pounds in one day is going to feel great!!!!

 

[PAdisMOM]

Me too!!!

Put me down for 16. That is a lot, but this will keep me focused!

 

[Claire4dpins]

Since I am recommitted to my weight lost and to WISH - a challenge is just what I need.

I have to be conservative as I have only lost 1lb in the past three weeks - so I will hope for 10lb in the next eight weeks.

Go for it everyone,
Claire

 

[CookieGVB]

My first WISH challenge. I'll sign up - hoping for 15 lbs in those 8 weeks.

July 4th would also have been my parents' 51st anniversary - This One's For You, Dad!!

Wow! I motived someone! You have certainly motived me!

I've been to Wrigley a few times this year (my next game is Mother's Day) and I have to admit that eating at a ball park is hard no matter what diet you're on. It's all bad for you! I'm doing Atkins so I'm OK if I remember to bring a fork. Then I can get the beef and sausage combo, load it up with sweet and hot peppers and eat the meat out of the bun.

Edited to add: I wish we could find someone to motivate the Cubs' bats .

 

[TinkerChelle]

Thanks for organizing another challenge, disneygoof! They really seem to keep me on track. So, count me in. I am going to challenge myself to lose 15 pounds by 7/4! Can't wait to weigh in on Sunday!

 

[sharoncity]

Okay - I'm in too!
I was going to set a goal of 5 lbs and then hope for 8. But this is a CHALLENGE!! So put me down for 0/8. This weight loss is going VERY slowly for me, so an 8 lb loss in 8 weeks would be incredible for me!!

Good luck to everyone! I hope we are a really big group of LOSERS!!

 

[kayeandjim00]

I have yet to make a challenge goal and I have been doing them since the Halloween one! This will be different!!!!!! I am shooting for 10 lbs but hoping as always for more. That will get me into a new "decade" and only around 25 lbs from my goal. So put me down for 10! Best of luck everyone!

 

[Hannosmom]

I'm in! Love these challenges! I'm going to kick it up a notch and go for 10lbs. (oooo scarey!)

 

[HappyMommy2]

I posted earlier to add my name to the list of challengers, but here's my "official" baseline weigh-in (a few days early since I will be out of town for the next week or so).

Janet

0/11 (11lbs would put me at 168--that would be AWESOME!)

Looks like they found their bats again! I've only been to one game so far, 6 more to go but, I had to bring ALL my own food. It just wasn't worth the points to eat one of those hot dogs. I did eat ONE peanut, in the spirit of the game and all, ya know?.

 

[Steve's Wife]

Since my 16th anniversary is on July 3rd, put me down for 16 pounds (though I'm aiming for 20). We're also "going home" for the first time July 19th, and I want to be ready.

One and two and three and four...
Exercise is the key!
