THE AMERICAN PRIDE CHALLENGE!!!

[Juice2640]

Most of the challenges here have been sort of focused on just women (ie bikini bottom challenge, 150 challenge, schools out etc). There are indeed men on this medication too!

I have created a new challenge that will begin on Sunday, May 22nd 2005 at 12:00 p.m. It will end July 4th 2005 on Independence day. That gives us ap** 10 weeks to lose the most we can. Some of us have husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, sisters, mothers, brothers and friends that are overseas serving our country like I was. I was deployed to Afghanistan and I just got home 3 months ago. My boyfriend is currently in Iraq. I started this challenge in honor of him. He is a convoy driver, and has the most dangerous job in Iraq. My present to him is to look my absolute best for when he returns home safely.

Intersted? Here are the rules:

1. Weekly weigh-ins (I didn't specify a specific day because everyone has their own schedule, but I would recommend every Saturday).
2. We MUST motivate each other.
3. 1200-1500 calories a day. No more, no less.
4. Drinking water constantly (you can have other beverages...just have to be conscience about drinking water...)
5. Instead of posting weight loss on the "tickers" we will use our signature block!

I hope you are all up to the AMERICAN PRIDE CHALLENGE!!! LETS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS OVERSEAS!!!!

Count me in! My husband is in the Air Force, and currently deployed.

I know I won't lose all that I need to by July 4th, but would still participate! My weekly weigh in has been Tuesdays so far, but I suppose I could tweak that.

Good Morning Juice!! I am in the Bikini Bottom Challenge, but since my hubby is active Army I will join this one too!! That is, if you don't mind . . . I don't know if I will be able to weigh in each week cuz I don't own a scale, I run into the drs every month to check it!!

1. My name is Trina. I am 34 yr old and live on Ft Wainwright AK (Fairbanks)
2. With all the kids running around my house sometimes I feel like I am going CRAZY and am a mom to 4 kids. Hence, crazeemom24
3. Well, I have 1 cat, ***i, 1 ferret, Nippy and 4 pains in the butt!!! LOL Kyleigh, 15 (lives with her dad in NY) Hunter, 8 1/2, Picabo 6, and Meadow 3.
4. No history of weight problems until I started having kids. Have had 4 c-sections.
5. I'm a SAHM and my husband is active duty Army scheduled to be deployed in July to Iraq.
6. Actually I didn't hear about phen until the dr mentioned and then prescribed it to me!!!
7. I drive a Dodge Durango SLT Plus
8. I am originally from Kansas.
9. What would I change about my body? LOL, sorry, you opened the box with that one. I would get a nose job, lipo the arms, inner and outer thighs, tummy tuck, breast reduction and thin out my face. That pretty much covers the entire body, huh?
10. Sure, why not, we can always use more challenges.

I think I will join this challenge. I could use one that is for sure! may 22-july 4th is only 6 weeks though, not 10. 6 weeks is as long as I want to do a challenge anyway.

I'll weigh in on sunday

Hi Juice. Is it too late to join? I just saw this post. My husband is currently deployed in Kuwait and will be home in September. Let me know if I can still be a member. Thanks....

[CasinoGirl]

well since no one is even posting to this I think I will join another challenge

[crazeemom24]

When I didn't see anything I figured that it was a NO GO. She has joined another challenge anyway!!! Does anyone want to do this challenge still? We could make it longer or whatever . . .

[Juice2640]

no no ladies...I only did that because I didn't get any response for my idea, so I started by myself. I didn't actually think anyone was interested, so I ****ed it up and started the challenge alone. It is still going on if you all still want to join. Sorry if I made anyone angry. First weight in is 28th of May (Saturday) I will be posting. If you still haven't answered the 10 questions, please do so as soon as you can. I am going to answer them now.

[Juice2640]

Yes, we can make it longer if we all want to, but I was just trying to set a theme for the challenge. I am sorry, I posted the info in the losing weight on phentermine forum and no one replied, I didn't think to come back in here to look because some challenges just stay in that forum, i have written back to you all personally and i hope you are all still interested. if you all started new challenges, please let me know maybe i can join in if this one is a "flop". sorry again ladies....
