I'll join!  I have been doing several challenges now, and I find it keeps me really motivated and accountable!

SW- 167.5

CW-167.5   (3/13)

GW-(for challenge 6/5 ) 155

I am really hoping that with the weather getting warmer I will be more motivated to exercise!  I started out at 190 in August, and have been doing really well losing at a slow pace, but I really want to get to my ultimate goal this summer, which is 145!

Welcome everyone.

I'm so excited to look good [better :P] for summer for once!

Yay. Me too! I turn 25 this May 22nd, then go to a reunion in August followed by a vacay with friends in Michigan, thus boats and bathing suits, nevermind wakeboarding and the pressure to perform! I need a challenge to soothe my nerves from all the worries and just look forward to the new hotness that is ME! (soon-to-be right?)

I am TOTALLY in to losing 20 by bathing suit season! I just got back from a long vacation and gained a bit so I need something to get me back on track.  My goal is a teensy bit over 20 pounds, but that should be okay, right?

SW - 191.8

CW - Mar 3 - 191.8

GW - Jun 5 - 170

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

...can boys play to?

i'd like to join.

i missed last friday but my current weight is 210lbs and i want to go down to 190lbs or less

lilygirl1970, I know right! Sure that's fine as long as you're eatin enough calories and not trying to deprive yourself to get there, I don't know how people do that anyways. More will power than me that's for sure...but maybe that's not a good thing :P Welcome to the group!

nbwicker, Of course they can! Welcome to the group and good luck.

Weight in is on friday don't forget!

I will tally up our groups total loss every week so we see how far we've come!

Stay on track everyone!

I need to post a correction for you... My goal wt. is 155  not 175!  I don't ever want to see that number again on my scale!!!

Thank you, sorry I messed up on that I was tired when I did it. Lol :P

Don't worry...I'm totally into healthy weight loss. I'm currently eating 1500-1600 a day and exercising to burn 800cals 6x/week. I seem to manage to lose about 1.6 a week that way. Although in the past five days I've lost 3.6 of the 4.6 I gained on vacation. Thank goodness for that! Must have been a lot of water...or I revved up my metabolism doing all that eating.

thanks for the welcoming words :)

well exercise wise I just want to say today was a good day. Went for a 30 minute walk this morning (at 6a.m.) ....plan on doing that every day before work.

and tonight went for a 1 hour hike and burnt over 1000 calories. Hopefully i'll keep it up.

...i know, food needs to be look after to! lol

tomorrow is wednesday, mid week, hope everyone is doing fine!

Hi my name is Teri.  This is my second challenge I am really enjoying the other one I am in.  I'm currently working my butt off to get ready for a vacation this May.  My goal is to get into a swimming suit this summer rather than shorts and a tank top.

Shout out to lilygirl1970.  Nice to see a familar face! 

i want to play.  I have trying to join motiviation groups in hopes that i will also stay movitated and accountable.  I have WW weigh in's on Saturday morning but i will take my weight at home on Friday and stay with you guys.

Hey! We're starting to be a real team! Welcome Terri and eliza!

How're you all doing with exercise so far this week. I did 45min on the ellitpical on Monday, nothing on Tuesday, but walked 4.5 miles in 69 minutes today (new record). 

Maybe we can figure out a group challenge for exercise. My goal is 45 minutes, 6 times a week - but I usually only get 5 days in :(

What goals do you guys have???

I want to join in, I could really use the support of a group weigh-in.

SW: 186.8 CW: 186.8 GW 6/5: 175.0

I could really use some tips on how to get myself motivated to go to the gym! How do you do it? I've got the calorie counting down... it's actually kind of become an obsession. Today a co-worker looked at me like I was crazy because I was counting my croutons! lol

I find myself trying to do at least 30 - 45 3 times a day, but oh my gosh, this week has been tough.  But, tonight, my son has baseball practice for 2 hours at a local school that has a track, so i will be getting in at least an hour of brisk walking.  i recently heard where a woman actually pens in her workout time in her calendar... i thought that was a great idea.  i realize sometimes my time has to be between 4:30am - 5:30 am or sometime after 6:00 pm at night, but there has to be time for me, right?

OMG eliza!!! 30-45 minutes, 3 times a day?  I thought I was doing good with 45min 5 times a week! YEESH! Are you training for something?

Eliza- Wow, I consider myself a morning person, but I can't even make myself get up at 6AM to go to the gym. DO you find yourself more motivated once you get started? I just can't seem to make myself do it! How do you get in 30-45 minutes 3 times a day? And Lilygirl way to go on the weight loss! I assume seeing the numbers on the scale are what keep you going.

This is the hardest part for me!  I just can't get motivated to exercise!  I do minor things like situps/pushups in the mornings, which do help....but I really do need to do cardio.  I just get so tired and can't find the energy to get off my butt!  I have to be at work at 6:45 and get home around 3:45.  I am usually sooo tired, I do nothing after I get home.  Maybe start walking now that the weather is getting warmer!  Is everyone ready for weigh in tomorrow???!!
