SCHMOOZE & LOSE III - FINAL WEEK (Nov 8-14) CLOSED

Need extra help and support? Join me in the battle to lose those pounds! No goal weights for this group…just a determination to lose. Post your weigh-in on THURSDAY, FRIDAY or SATURDAY!!!YOU CHOOSE!!

GET INVOLVED!!!  Each Sunday we will be presenting a mini-challenge for all participants to take part in. You might have to post your favorite snack under 100 calories or tell everyone the nicest compliment you have recieved so far.  Message me with your ideas and recieve honorable mention as the week's BIGGEST SCHMOOZER!

This group is all about keeping that postitive attitude throughout your journey. It doesn't matter if you are just starting out or are maintaining, everyone needs someone to lean on now and then. So SCHMOOZE & LOSE with your friends and stay motivated!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

1. This is our 3rd S&L group. 89 people signed up for S&L II and about 25 finished it. There is no reason to drop out! It's a support group and there is no reason to feel ashamed if you're having a hard time! Don't give up! We're all fighting the same fight!
2. I update the weigh-ins on Sunday afternoons. Late weigh-ins are accepted but may not be added until the following Sunday.
3. The scales can be our biggest critic. If you're not up to posting your weight on certain weeks, that's fine. This is all about staying motivated. 
4. Mini-challenges will be posted on Sunday. We hope that everyone will take part, but if you don't, there is no pressure. We're here to support you on this journey.
5. Feel free to use this group as a place to express yourself -  fears, frustrations, worries, goals, triumphs, successes. We are here to support and motivate one another, whether you're doing great or struggling.

Count me in again!

You know I'm in again!!!

This is awesome! Count me in.

I've lost 32 lbs through calorie counting and exercise, and am now at the point where motivation is straggling and its getting harder to keep on going. This is perfect! I will be posting on Fridays. Looking forward to the challenges and schmoozing!

p.s. Do we just post our weigh ins on this thread or email them to you?

I'm in again!  The dates for this one fall right in line with a challenge we are starting at work...double motivation :-)

i could definitely use some extra motivation... i'll be back the third

Is this a dude-friendly thread? If so, then count me in. I need to be held accountable for my sloth.

I need some serious help in loosing those last 8 pounds yeesh,

Count me in to fight the sloth!!

Sep 3rd it is!

I am in for another 10 weeks!

See you in Sept

Count me in...

I'm in, Lilygirl. I've stuck to my guns through this last challenge, and I'll stick to my guns for this one!

I'd like to join you too...

would love to be a part of this one...definitely more "fun" than going it alone.  See you next week!

We are going to try again...I think I need to put a reminder in my calendar to post on here and go back to see the challenges...Might help!

I'm in again. 

I'm hoping I'll do much better this time around.  I've set a mini goal of being at 225 by Thanksgiving so I need all the help/support/motivation I can get!  17 pounds and about 12 weeeks - I CAN do this!

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Schmooze Zone! Great to see some new sign ups and some familiar faces.

Yes we accept everyone - men and woman! We'll even accept a chubby pooch  if you have one that needs to join! lol

Weigh-ins can be posted right here, just be sure to create a new post for each weigh-in as I don't check all the posts every week.

If you have any other questions, post them here or message me! I'm brainstorming for some new challenges, so let me know all your ideas!

Lily 

i'm in....this sounds fun fun! Be back Saturday!

This is so perfect! I have a goal for the end of October and I really, really want to meet it. I've never participated in something like this before, so thank you for affording the opportunity!

Can't wait to start!

Count me in as well! Am soo ready to start! :)

Please count me in.  I need all the help I can get.
