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!

Hell yeah, I am looking to lose the bulk of my weight in the spring and beginning of summer. This would be great to see more and more people with my kind of goals. so hopefully I can be around 270 by July 4th, that would be great. Good luck to all!!!

Good to hear from you Roxy,

So far it is just the two of us. I am also hoping to lose the bulk of my weight this spring/summer. I joined the easter challenge, and I am thinking about the Halloween challenge, but I thought I needed something in between.

Keep me posted on your progress!

Count me in, by July 4th I would like to be 240lbs.

Welcome to Eric, Gabrielle and D_Gabbard,

I am glad you joined. We can all do this together.

I am packing up some snacks for tomorrow as I will be gone from about 7am-5pm.

Talk you later!

HI roz140,I would love to join your challange as I have just reached my challange weight for surviving the holidays Jan 31 today and am feeling fairly good about myself I only set myself a goal of 10lbs to lose for the holidays as I would rather set myself not too ambitious a goal and get to feel like I do today then to set myself an over ambitious target and end up feeling a failure if I did not reach the goal set (yes I know about the power of positive thinking!) so my starting weight is 227 I would like to lose 37lbs down to 190lbs by july 23 my birthday any more and it would be a real bonus.What day is weigh in day?.Dewi my sister is the proud mother of a one month old little girl called Ellen after 18 years of marrige and she is convinced she conceived because she was on atkins something to do with all that meat!
