Greetings all,

Now that I have started to lose a bit, I am looking ahead to summertime.

Short sleeves, shorts, swimsuits, bikinis...

I noticed that there is not an Independence Day challenge and I thought I would see if anyone is interested in joining one.

July works well for Canada-July 1, USA-July 4, and France-July 14 (and probably for some other countries whose holidays I am not familiar with as well.)

So how about it? Are you up for a summertime challenge??

If so, please post your starting weight, July date, and goal and what you want to wear on the big day.

Personally, I am starting at 214 and would like to be at 164 by 7/4 so I can be confident wearing a swimsuit in our boat (no beach towel wrap!) This may be too aggressive, but I figure 10 lbs per month for the months of Feburary - June with some bonus loss for the remainder of this month.

I am hoping to hear from alot of you. Thx!
