    I would very much like to join this challenge. I can't figure out how to enter my info on the spreadsheet though. Maybe because i am using my iphone?

    If it's not too late, I added myself. Won't have much of a loss in two days, but gotta start somewhere!

    Added some more spots, spreadsheet was full. Weigh in for most of us i coming up on Friday (you can weigh any day of the week you want). What is your plans for Thursday? What are you doing for your "last chance" workout?

    I weigh on Saturdays to keep my Friday nights honest ;-) My last chance workout will be circuit training (abs) on Friday with a nice long run Saturday morning.

    I am doing a CORE class tonight at the Y and will probably add in some additional walking/jogging on the treadmill. I am feeling excited and have been motivated since I began 2 weeks ago. I haven't really faced any challenges or temptations yet so I am hoping that this continues for me. I think I read someone that if you can do something for 21 consecutive days, it becomes a habit. Let's see.

    Smart idea not weighing on Fridays for that reason. For me, I weigh on Fridays so if I do indulge on Friday night, I am not discouraged on Saturday morning when I have a water gain. We tend to splurge more on Friday nights then Saturday due to convenience. Plus, I have more opportunity for activity on Saturday so I can get in a better workout to make up for Friday night indulgence :smiley:

    I have read the same thing about habits. I don't buy it. There are good "habits" I will do for 1-2 even 3 months and then I miss it once and it is completely gone. Hopefully it works for you!

    I've heard that too, I don't buy it either.
    I know that if you do an action 100 times then the path in our brains becomes stronger & then can become auto-pilot, I think that may be where this comes from?

    I changed my lifestyle successfully a couple of years ago now, I lost loads of weight exercised 6 days a week, ate really healthily & it was so easy to break that habit that I'd been in for 9 months, so I know I need to be more vigilant this time!

    So, if we're going by date, March 27th, I'd like my goal for that date to be a 15lbs loss, so a goal weight of 175lbs!

    Just saw your post and updated the chart!

    I'd like to join, but not sure how. Can someone tell me please? My name is Regina K. Weigh in at 182.

    I just noticed that you don't have a goal weight set. Do you want to set a goal for the challenge? I think it is 12 weeks from last Friday (so 11 weeks from now).

    I weighed myself today out of curiosity & I'm actually down 2.4lbs now hehe typical, I'm not going to change it on the spread sheet though, I'm just going to continue to monitor & see how it goes :smile:

    Shocked and happy to see a 4lb loss on the scale today. I know a lot of it is water weight/bloat from the holidays but either way, it is a great way to start the year. Now the challenge is to stay focused to post a loss two weeks in a row.

    I just weighed in. It looks great, but i know this is just water weight etc. Next week, here i come.

    I changed my goal. Because i missed that was suppossed to be the goal after 12 weeks in stead of my ultimate goal.

    I posted a new challenge for week 2. It is a food related challenge. I wanted to post it early in case people are meal planning for next week over the weekend.

    Gained 1.2 this week. Not sure why, everything was spot on for the week. We'll see what next week brings.
