Hey guys!

Sounds like everybody is doing really well over here! I've been out of the challenges for a while, mostly because the short ones end up stressing me out and I don't deal well with it. Did I read somewhere about a summertime challenge?? That sounds a bit more like my kind of challenge. I'll be watching...

Just thought I'd pop in to say Hi!

Wooo hooo! That was fun! Wow we are kicking butt and taking names. Keep it up! Fourth of July is still a while a way~

I can't believe I'm happy that I weigh 270.2, but I am. I'm down 4 pounds exactly and I'm going to try to add some exercise back in this week.

Princess - great job!
JandL - I'm sorry that you're not doing well. Hang in there.

I made goal today. Yeah!!!!

I seem to be reacting very well to this short term challenge. I think when all is said and done I am going to start another thread called the 10 day challenge. And take things 10 days at a time. Or maybe the 7 day challenge..... The whole idea is to break it up into smaller chunks and that seems a little more obtainable. I like these challenges but the ones that are 2-3 months away doesn't do anything for me. I usually give up before they end. What is everyone's thooughts on this?

I completely agree with the short term goal idea. It seems easier for me to stay on track for the shorter time periods than with the long ones. My scale hasn't moved in days now. I felt like I did so well the first several days, then, when TOM was scheduled to arrive, my scale just quit. After the second day of my slump, I inhaled some chicken nuggets and fries, bad idea. Now I've got to get rid of the water from TOM, and the nuggets. I'm back on track though and I'm hoping the next few days are a little more scale friendly. Thanks again for all the support and congrats to everyone on their losses so far.

I have two going, this shorter set of challenges, and the longer summer challenge. I think that they work well together to keep me motivated.

I love all of the challenges, the short, the long and the medium. They all help me stay focused. I'm usually participating in at least 3 challenges at a time. I'm in this one, which runs for 2 weeks, I do one every month that runs for one month, I'm in the Biggest Loser challenge which runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, I'm in the Super Summer Slimdown which runs from the first day of Summer until the first day of Fall and I'm in a 1 yr. one that started 1/1/06 and ends 1/1/07. That's a lot of challenges, but it works for me.
