    I would like to join, too. Joined MFP a while ago, but slacked off after a herniated disc. 20 by Easter sounds realistic to me.

    Happy new year. I am up for the challenge with you =-) I would like to aim for losing about 3 pounds a week up until Easter and then I will be my ideal weight. Anyone else up for the challenge feel free to add me.

    Great on getting out in the rain for your walk. let us know how many steps you put on your fit bit this morning. . I am waiting to get my fit bit by UPS a late Christmas gift. but would not get out in the cold and freezing rain to walk, would have to do my walking inside. I used to Many years ago. So glad you join us.

    Happy 2015! New year blessings to all!
    If positive attitudes lead to negative lbs ( and they do) this group will be happy and lighter this year!
    Momma I love the graphic of what walking can do - it will get me on the move today since the ice has not reached us. It will be hard but not impossible to hit my goal for today of 5,000 steps. Miss Thelma said she wanted nothing to do with this weather but her bladder will change her mind soon!

    ;) My scale is nuts! According to it this morning I have lost 2 pounds since yesterday but then when I went back to check again 5 minutes later and it showed no loss! See why I do not trust it? Saturday's WW scale is official - let's hope it is sane!

    Thanks to everyone for the friendship and support!

    My daughter and my best friend.
    . We will " finish the fight" ..... A Dallas Cowboy saying this year. I will adopt this saying for I have been fighting this problems way too long
    Lets all finish the fight by Easter or at least a great good start. I will have more to lose So some of us will need part 2 of this. We will need a good name for part 2 help me out.
    One that comes to my mind is Heading for Maintance for most of us will be there or a lot loser than we are now.


    good going Alice 30 lbs in 16 weeks. WW is good for you. keep it up.

    Happy New Year everyone! :)

    Well I dread to think how many calories I consumed last night - I had wayyyy too much wine and nibbles :no_mouth: but it was a great night! I am starting afresh as of today and so far I'm doing well - I have a roast cooking and it smells soooo good. I have planned out all my food for today though so I should be able to stay on track :)

    I was going to go for a walk with my children, but the weather is dreadful here so it looks like we are going to be stuck indoors :(

    Oh and here is my info. Everyone else is posting it so figured I should too :)

    SW: 230lbs
    CW: 205lbs
    GW (this is a short term goal though): 170lbs

    I was just looking up when Easter actually is, to discover that it falls this year on my oldest daughters birthday! I told her and she is so excited about having easter eggs on her birthday ha!

    Thinking ahead Momma! I like having specific date to set our goal with. I think the 4th of July is about 13 weeks from Easter - so how about "Fit by the Fourth!"? As we become thinner (and we will) we will want to focus on becoming more fit. Just a thought!
    <3 love you!

    Sounds great to me, Alice!
    Like your mom said, " some of us will need a part 2" and that will be me.

    Happy 2015 to all of you!

    Alice, I love the idea of Fit by the Fourth! Congratulations on your 30lb weigh loss!

    I will post my weight tomorrow, as that is my WI day. Hoping for at least no gain after a week with a few treats here and there. So glad the holidays are officially over. Time to get to business in a BIG way to meet the goal for this challenge!

    Hubby and I did not get a walk in yesterday, so we're going for a two-hour walk midmorning. It's a gorgeous but cold day here in MD. Had one egg and low calorie high fiber bread with avocado. YUM!

    Have a great day, everyone!

    Connie, I will need Part 2 as well - Not being negative about not hitting our Easter goal - just knowing that this journey we are on will never end. We will always need to be aware of what and how we eat and how active we need to be. Glad there are friends to share the trip with!
