So I just finished up the "First Day of Summer" Challenge and I NEED A NEW ONE! Independance day is only like 2 weeks away, so needless to say, it seems like another "short term thing, and I'm looking for a BIT more long term, a month or so.....

Hm.... no holidays really and my birthday and anniversary have already passed. My bootcamp ship date is not finalized again, so I have NO IDEA what I should use!

So this is a bit Ironic.... in Japan, there is a holiday called "umi no hi" which translates to "Marine Day". No it's not the US Marines.... it's the ocean, but a bit ironic don't you think. It's celebrated on the third monday of July.... guess it's not only ironic, but pretty good timing.

I figure I'll go with that..... not exactly what I was hoping for, but it's the date and irony I found and like... so here it is.... the "umi no hi" holiday challenge!

My goal is to lose 19 pounds by July 19th, 2004. That's exactly 4 weeks away, which is soooo doable if I stay on plan and on my workout regimen.
My stats for the challenge are 207/207/188. Wish me luck everyone! And if anyone feels like celebrating the day of Marine life or just hopping on board for the next 4 weeks.... you are so welcome to. Just post your current stats and your goals and I'll keep them updated so we all know where everyone stands! Good luck and it's a race to "umi no hi"!

Sounds like as good a reason as any to lose weight. I'm in. I would like to lose 10 pounds - my current stats are:
203/203/193 - 10 to go!!! If I start losing faster can I change my stats??
Good luck to everyone.

I'm in...I'm losing a little slower these days so I'll say 5 pounds in 4 weeks. My stats are 227 so I would like to be 222. Hoping for more but want to play conservative and make this goal. Good luck to all.

Okay. So, does this mean that we're gonna have a four-week challenge? If so, I'll close this thread and open a new one entitled "Four-Week Challenge" beginning tomorrow morning, June 23rd and ending Tuesday, July 20th. That will be 28 days (and that's 4 weeks, correct?).

All in favor of closing this thread and opening a new Four-Week Challenge, say AYE!

I heard a second and a third to carry the motion, so I'm closing this one and opening the new one here.
