What is the goal? I have seen different amounts...10-14-19-25, etc.
Do we set the goals ourselves or is there a specific number to reach...
Thanks...

You set your own. It started as 15, but there are (apparently) a bunch of overachievers on here.

I'm shooting for 15...we shall see if I get there!

I'm planning on weighing/measuring on Friday at some point. Hopefully I *don't* see a number that says 194 or higher...

Welcome to the challenge! I’m glad you jumped in. Pick a number that you think you can make by the 4th of July. We’ll leave it up to you. I’m going for 14… that’s my goal weight.

Hey, feeling a good bit better, but not quite there yet. I did 90 flights of stairs today. These are real stairs and goodness me I want a stairstepper. Maybe we'll negotiate (my dh and I) about using our taxes for some exercise equipment. It sucks being a single income family sometimes. The rewards are awesome, but evrything need to be negotiated. Geeesh, long gone are the days of shopping with wanton disregard!

Hey, ya'll. I FINALLY got to run today. YAY. But it was HOT and HUMID. Ummm, my eating was sooooo good today.

I found a new vitamin/supplement shop today by my sister's house. The owner (totally hot, btw) was a really nice guy (with a great bod btw and gorgeous eyes btw) who gave me some really good advice. He totally understands the low carb lifestyle and supports it. He told me he would order me anything I wanted. That's cool (and he's easy on the eyes). Ha!

Anyway, I've got to run over to the vitamin thread because I'm so excited. Going to add L-glutamine to my supplement regime.

You ladies.......what is a guy to do!!! Haha!

Now you know that we guys are never like that. Nope not at all.

'Why is my wife rolling her eyes......???'

Still on for 15 pound challenge. I'm tired of exercising inside......

Bring on the spring!!

Lyssie, I'll have to see what I can do. OMG

Does this mean *I* might have one of those infamous "boyfriends"?? Like, maybe he can be my vitamin shop bf??

Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

OOOOOHHH *I* want a vitamin shop boyfriend!

Aww heck, who am I kidding? I'd be happy with having a vitamin shop.

Still here, still exercising, hoping for some good things to pop up on the scale tomorrow. Tomorrow is also my weigh-in here at work for that Loser's Lotto competition. We have the option of weighing in on Friday or on Monday, and I choose Friday. We get 1 ticket for every pound we've lost since the previous weigh-in a month ago, and the tickets are placed in a drawing for a cash prize. Last month I lost 6 pounds I think (at least according to *their* scale) and I got 6 tickets...I thought I would win, right? Nope, some lady who lost 1 pound won the $65! GRRR! So wish me luck, think skinny thoughts for me today.

I'm also weighing in at home tomorrow, and taking measurements for the challenge.

I want a vitamin shop BF!!! Darnit, why do I have to shop online?! Well, there's the one guy from GNC who's *nice* to me, but is old enough to be my dad and *not* attractive at all.
