Thumbs up Ready.. Set.. GO!

Wow! I'm so glad that so many people have decided to join! I've decided to go with 30 pounds by July 4th. That will put me at about 10 pounds from my goal. Although I may adjust it, I'm only 5'4 so my "healthy weight range" is a bit lower but I know that I WILL be 130 by my birthday which is September 17th. Can't wait to get there, what a PERFECT birthday present to myself! I guess today starts the challenge huh?! I wish the BEST of luck to everyone, we'll all reach our goals! Take Care and God Bless, Amanda

Count me in. I've been 10 lbs from goal since January and am struggling. My body just doesnt want to let go!
So, how does this work? How will we keep track of each other? Will we have weekly check-ins?

Earthlyone and everyone else,

Count me in too and it's actually 12 weeks, 2 days from today

I'd love to lose 20 lbs by then. I would be very close to my target weight and all ready for my highschool reunion, which is July 19th, which is the date I want to be down to 115. The weight I was before I had my daughter 11 weeks ago today.

I started BFL today for my exercise and will continue doing induction until the weight is off. Then on to OWL.

Well, I'd better run, my little one just woke and is calling to be fed

We all can do this

Hey guys,

I'm moving your group effort to the Countdowns, Buddies and Challanges forum.

I'll leave a little arrow redirect to take you there from the Atkins forum.

20 sounds like a good number. Count me in. I suggest we all subscribe to this thread and come back and post to each other's journals. This should keep us motivated. I don't write in my journal much, but I'm sure this would encourage me to visit my own as well as others. What do you say?
