[SweetCher]

I would like to start a new challenge to lose 10 pounds by the 4th of July. The only requirements are…

Be supportive of everyone in the challenge
Post your pre and post weights and measurements .
Weigh at least once a week
Post a starting picture and a new picture on the 4th of July so you can see your progress

P.S. you can post pictures as often as you like

Official start date will be April fools day! Although I will be checking in every day starting today. I really hope someone starts with me…lol! I need this challenge to get to my goal weight

Starting weight for me is 154. I can’t find my tape measure. Isn’t that funny. It’s hiding from me. That always happens…lol! I need to go buy another one. I did exercise this morning. 20 minutes on the exercise bike… that’s a major achievement for me… it’s progress not perfection.

I'm in! I have my starting weight and measurements for you on Friday or Saturday--one of those will be my weigh-in day for the week.

I hope to god I can lose 10 pounds by then! It might be a struggle...grrr. But I'M IN!!!

Julie & Lyssie,

I’m so glad you’re with us on this one. I’m so excited .

Julie – If I make the 10, it’ll be the first time I made a challenge goal…lol! I usually make 8 and I’m so happy for that! But, maybe this time I’ll make 10 or more. I’ll shoot high and see what my body will release.

The goal… to wear a pair of BCBG shorts that I saw… that inspired me. So, the exercise bike is a big part of my goals during this challenge. I don’t know what to say… the exercise bug is catchy…

Focus for Cher ; work on those summer legs!

Good morning

I’m so impressed. I actually did the bike again for 20 minutes this morning. I keep thinking about those summer thighs. Soon I will have to think about the summer buns and do an exercise for them. But, I just need to get in the habit of working on the bike for at least 20 minutes a day.

I went to FitToGether to look at which measurements I should focus on. My tummy seems so huge this morning. My goal get my measurements in by April 1st. But, I am just prolonging the agony if I wait. If I do them this morning it will be over with. I’ll think about it for another hour or so and decide…lol!

I’m excited that Joy will be with us when she returns from Chicago. I can’t imagine doing a challenge without Joy. She’s been in every challenge.

I’m trying to decide what can I do differently to make sure that I reach my goal this time.
Exercise will be important. But, are there other goals that I need to try and set to ensure success?

Hi Idahogirl,

Welcome to our challenge. I’m glad that you’re joining us.

Congratulations on the 9 pounds that you’ve already lost
Doesn’t that feel great!

I also weigh once a week on Mondays so that’s absolutely fine.

I'll weigh and measure on Tuesday, April 3 if that's okay...that's my normal weigh in day.

YaY Joy – Warm 's to you…
I’m so glad you came over to join .
After all what would we do without you in our challenge!
Officially the start date is April Fool’s Day so...
of course the 3rd is OK to weigh-in.
Stay with your regular weigh-in day.
I'm just so happy you're here!

Hi Adreliluc… we would love to have you join us!
We need all the support we can get.
Look at your pictures…
WoW
You’ve made incredible progress already !
I’m so impressed! Congratulations.
I started to make the goal 15 pounds, then got scared and changed it to 10. Adena is going for 15. Now, I think I’m going for goal, which is 14… so, you pick…lol!
