Join the July 4th challenge! Post your goal weight!

I'm so glad I checked this forum today! Like the rest of you, I need a goal to get off these last pounds. I started at 272, and I'm now at 181. (Thank you, God!) There's 8 weeks left until July 4th, so I'd let to set a goal of losing 15 pounds by then. Every pound is getting harder to lose, but like the rest of you, I can cut out some snacks and drink less wine. I'm not sure which will be harder for me, but having this challenge really helps!! Go team!! Sherry

Sherry, I've added you to the group! Watch the main board for future messages (such as the weekly roll calls) and they will always have July 4th Mini-Challenge in the subject line! Hugs, Lea

Hi Lea I would like to join the challenge. Ive been doing ok but i have just 15 pounds to go to be at my goal and July 4th sounds like a great day to get there so please add me to your list My starting weight 278 My current weight 170 My goal weight 155

Definitely count me in. I'm at about 177-179 right now. I started at 285, surgery was 8/25. I stall so bad that it really upsets me. I mean I will plateau for 4-6 weeks it seems. I really want to be at 160 by July 4th. I will try cardio 45 minutes to an hour 5 times a week and weights 3 times each week. I plan to make sure to get at least 80 grams of protein each day and 70 ounces of fluids. Please wish me luck. I really need to do this! And good luck to everyone else !!!
