Games & Challenges

Okay time for a new challenge, maybe one that does not close.  Have you noticed how hard it is to find a challenge that isn’t closed.

There will be a winner every week that will be determined by percentage of weight loss.  And the winner gets the admiration of all the fellow competitors.  It's difficult to figure out much of a prize.  There will also be a final winner for best percentage by July 4th whether you join now or later.  Who knows you could be a part of this challenge for only a few weeks and have the best percentage.

Weigh-ins are on Friday, but I will accept weights as late as Sunday.  Starting next week you will need to have your weight in by Sunday evening to qualify for the awesome prizes.  I will still accept your weigh-ins after Sunday, but I will not change the winners.

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

Please do not edit your previous post each week, with so many participants it is difficult to go back and find everyone.  Go ahead and post a new message or email me with your updates.  Also feel free to post more then just your stats.  Use this space to encourage others and ask questions you may have.

If you would like to join let me know these few things:

Don't know what is going on with my body or why the weight can't stay off. My food logs get A- and don't know what can be retaining water but that must be what is fluctuating based on measurements.

My weight this week is 218.1 so I've gained .2lbs.  I think I have hit my first plateau.  I must do some serious evaluation about my eating habits but my weight loss only works when I don't feel like I'm on an actual diet.

Hey everyone,

  I know that this challenge is winding down, but I just wanted you to know that there's another one for all of us who still need the motivation of posting online. It's not quite as cool as this one  (getting your percentages, weight lost posted) but you still have to post and it still shows up to the rest of the world.

 The name of it is Labor Day Weightloss Challenge - Sign up & Start June 15th-30th!  and registration ends next week. So if you need another challenge to keep you going, finish up this one and sign up for that one, and I'll see you there.

 By the by, this was my first challenge I finished completely, and I am so grateful for the support! It sure does change what I'm thinking of eating, knowing I have to post the weight each week. I didn't meet my goal, but I'm glad I did this challenge. Thanks to the challenge-maker!

265 lbs

thanks very much for computing the numbers:) i will be away on thu+fri, so will post my weigh on saturday june 28

(wish me luck i am 90 kilos/198 lbs as of june 26, hopefully it will stay like this till the weigh in:)

One day till weigh

Good luck ka2007 I am trying to hang in there and maybe I can break my plateau.  Plateaus are so depressing ugh

133.9

I can't believe I still posted a loss!!  Between TTOM and the crazy binge I had on Sunday, I was convinced the best I could do was a net null.  Woo hoo!!

well, this mornig I was 196 lbs.  I really haven't benn doing a whole lot just not eating as much.

Whoo hoo! Past my goal and still going! This group has been a great motivator!

June 27: 133 lbs.

Doesn't look like I'll reach my goal (unless I lose 3 lbs. by next Fri. which is unlikely) but I'm happy with where I've gotten so far!

Well, I didn't do it, but I maintained, and that in itself is a good thing, seeing how I started CC 30 pounds heavier!

Weight for June 27: 168.0

This weeks weigh-in: Down another 10lbs to 255. 

I just may hit my July 4th goal after all.  Only 5 more to go.

So far that is 41lbs lost since April 30th (less than 2 months) Now only 70 more lbs to go to hit my goal weight.

todays weight is 178- no change from last week, but Im not surprised I went a little crazy this week. I dont think I will make my goal of 175 either, but Im so happy for having lost 11 lbs since starting this challenge. This has been a great group!

Good luck everyone! :)

Happy Friday!  

June 27: 179 :-)

One more week to go! :-)
