Cher, I'm in for 10 pounds, and my starting weight is 194. I'll have measurements for you tomorrow.

((((((((((( Julie )))))))))) Yay

it’s the incredibly shrinking Julie checking in…

10 pounds will be a great goal for the 4th!
Where’s Saty when you really, really need her!
Remember her Halloween chart… wasn’t that great!

Plus I miss having her in the challenge (hint, hint…lol)

OK Julie… you’re in charge of the red shoes diaries for the challenge!
(We need something good to read at night before we go to sleep)

ok... go exercise... well that was for me

Awww thanks Cher!
You've done so well too, you're GEORGOUS!

Ok my starting weight is 178 and my goal is to lose 15!!
I will post the rest of the stuff soon...

Adreliluc,

You’re so sweet…thank you. By the 4th we will ALL be so
close to our goals… I’m so excited. I’m already wondering
Which pair of shorts I should buy for the 4th. Something special.
OK… I’ve already seen them… but…will I fit them?
Positive thinking… they are really short shorts…lol!

OK… (drum rolls)

I’ve measured…. I’m posting the news…
I feel so brave (by the way)

Joy, I used FitToGether….

Weight 154
Height 5’9”

Boobies 38.9”
Chest 34”
Waist 30”
Abdomen 31.5”
Hips 38.5”
Thigh 22”
Calf 12.5”
Ankle 8.5”
Arm 12” (but how)
Wrist 6.25”

BMI 22.71

the 14 pounds are all in my arms and my tummy...
how unfair is that!

Geez… I’m glad that is over…
but, I should probably do it once a month!
I have a tendency to run away from the numbers.

Hrmm, now I'm feeling like a wimp with only 10 pounds. Oh heck, put me down for 15!!! I'll be bold and daring.

You can do it Julie!!

[SweetCher]

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

Oh Julie…lol! If anyone can do...Julie can

I changed my goal back to 14 pounds because I can never make the 10 pound goalss, I always make 8 pounds instead. So, my strategy this time is set my goal to 14 and maybe I’ll make 12 pounds. That way, I’ll make 142… wouldn’t that be great! Then I can take until Christmas to get to 140.

No... 140 it is... I WILL be 140 by July 4th!

Sounds good! Thanks for the votes of confidence! And anyway, don't they always say "reach for the moon, because even if you miss it, you still have reached the stars" or something? I'm obviously no poet...but it goes something like that.

Oh my goodness, well I've got measurements for you all. Geoff measured me this time, just to make sure the tape was even, etc. Gosh I feel so huge! Here they are:

STARTING MEASUREMENTS (3/29/07):
weight: 194
height: 5'8"
neck: 13.5"
shoulders: 46"
chest: 42"
waist: 35"
abdomen: 39"
hips: 42"
thigh: 27.5"
knee: 17"
calf: 15.5"
ankle: 9"
arm: 15"
forearm: 10.5"
wrist: 6.5"

WOW, I was pretty saddened by these measurements...my poor fat arms. And to think I've actually lost a few inches in them! Those measurements sound so large. I swear my waist was actually smaller but I guess that's what I get for measuring at 5pm, huh? Oh well, it's all out in the open now!

... Oh well, it's all out in the open now!

Julie…

That’s how I felt!

Doesn’t it feel great to have them in and posted!
I could have procrastinated forever.
I can’t wait to see our changes by the 4th of July.

I’m proud of you

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

BTW,

Isn’t the waist a killer measurement to take!
I’m really going to focus on some ab killer exercises during this challenge!
I’m getting a waist even if it kills me…lol !

I posted this in Joy's journal...
I thought I should post it here!
My weight loss plan...

Hey... where's the bike?
I'm spinning my way into the summer!

Wow Lyssie…

(((((((( 191 )))))))) is great…
I am so proud of you….

I think you have the perfect hourglass figure…wow!

We all have the same neck size… if we were men,
We’d wear the same shirt,
But… I have huge boobs (well...in my fantasies ) …lol!
