The 1st edition of the GreekChat.com Weight loss challenge

[Rollergirl2001]

Hi, everyone!

Since school is out and most of you are not in summer school, it is time for the weight loss challenge. I'm looking for some people who are planning to lose weight for the summer, whether it is 20, 25, or more pounds. If you are interested, sign up by next Monday for the challenge. The challenge will begin on June 1st and will end on September 1st. There will be separate post for each week so you can post your progress.

To help track your progress, use www.fitday.com.

Also, I want for you to post your goals for the weight loss challenge. There are no prizes for the most dramatic turn around.

Good luck!

My goal is to lose at least 25 pounds and drop at least 3 dress sizes. I won't tell you my weight.

hey, I'm signing up right now!

I take meds and just had to switch because my old one made me gain 20 pounds. So I feel fat and I wanna look like I did before I had these extra lbs.

Thanks for posting the link! And I'm glad someone is in this with me!

I'm in!

I want to lose 20 lbs and a dress size. I'm barely in juniors now and I want to get back to my high school size. So I'm going to use this summer to kick start my weight loss!

[sairose]

how do we do this challenge thing? Is it on the site, or what? I registered and entered my weight loss goals and stuff.

Hey, this site is GREAT!! I was looking for one like this and couldn't find one.

And I'm so glad to have 2 others with me! We can be GC weight loss buddies!

First, you post your goals here on this post. Then, every week, I will post week 1 and week 2 and so on. On the week post, you post what you did as physical activity and what you ate. And also, if you lost any weight and/or inches, then post it there. We will have this challenge until September 1st.

You can use fitday.com to track how many calories you have ate and burned.

wow- what a great idea!

yea i'm definately in- though I only want to lose 10 pounds- its a stubborn ten that I gained while I was in London (too much beer and cadbury chocolate) but I want it gone by September! yay!

I think 10 pounds is only 1/2 sizes- but thats ok- its mostly my stomach i'm concerned about...

[swissmiss04]

Can I join even though I just want to lose 5-7 lbs and only one size???

[DZTUBAGIRL]

This is really cool. Me and 3 of my sisters are staying at school this summer and we all are trying to lose a couple of pounds. I think I want to lose like 20 pounds. It's mostly my stomach and legs that I want to tone up. I hope we all are successful!!!

I am some serious need to lose just over 25lbs. Thanks for the link to such a great site. I've signed up and will keep my eye on this thread (and others like it) so I can keep everyone updated on my progess...as well and know how everyone else is doing. Very cool idea! Good luck everyone!!!

I'm in. I want to lose 50 myself.
I probably won't reach 50 by Spetember 1st (my birthday by the way )

But hopefully this will give me the motivation to lose some weight.

August 1st is my goal-the web site says I have to lose 5.5 lbs a week to get there. Maybe I should push it back a little. 5.5 lbs a week can't be healthy!
