    I find it nearly impossible to send messages to people through these message boards. I keep getting "there is a problem with your post" type feedback or that the user name is not valid. For this reason, I am posting here the last message I tried to send. I'm extremely frustrated.

    To farmgirlco
    I saw you mentioned WW and that caught my eye. I lost 60# on WW in 2008-09 but when they decided fruit was "free" and my then leader said "no one EVER got fat from eating bananas," I started regaining. Maybe not bananas but fresh pineapple and watermelon did me in! Every change they have made since then has only irritated me further! And I have continued to gain. Let's do this together!

    It's my first time - looks like a great way to stay motivated for 10 days at a time!

    8/31 - 170.8 - goal weight is 145 ... but for this challenge I'd be HAPPY with 10 lbs lost

    @natashabull1 How did you get that little graphic at the bottom of your post?

    @laurielindly Do you knit or crochet? Something which occupies your hands can keep you from snacking and you could end up with a garment in the end!

    Julia, 10 pounds in 10 days is not really feasible or medically sound. You probably need to reevaluate your goals. I would hate to have you disappointed at the end of the 10 days.

    I am definitley in! This group has been such a motivation to me. Last round was really difficult between having the flu and TOM being here. I've also found it incredibly hard to do my 30 minutes of biking 5 days a week since school started back up. When I get home from work, I am completely exhausted from molding little minds all day, yet I still have to help my own 3 children with their homework, cook dinner, pack lunches, and it usually isn't until 8 that I get to sit down. I need to be able to figure out how to fit exercise back in. I thought about mornings, but I get up at 5:30 as is to get my oldest on the bus and as soon as he leaves, I wake up my youngest to get him out the door. (Staggard busing here.) When he leaves, I leave for work. Any suggestions?

    Can you do anything the expedite making lunches? Are the kiddos old enough to stay home for 30 minutes? Do you have a significant other that can help? They could do their homework on their own while you bike ride and then you could check it when you get home. I know how hard it is. I'm a working mom too. Most days when I get to bike it's after 7 when my little guy goes to bed. Sometimes my husband will take our nighttime routine so I can go out early.

    Honestly, I am married, but I pretty much do everything on my own. My husband isn't very good at helping me with anything atm because he's to finishing his last year of college. I also have a child that requires some extra help with things. I thought about goiung walking during my lunch break or something. Lol

    I know you said your Husband is back in school, but I think it might be beneficial for you to see the equality between him doing something good for himself/family (education) and you doing something good for yourself/family (exercise). As well as him seeing it that way as well. Can he just hold down the fort for 30-45 min around 7pm and let you do something for you? Or if you can go after work immediately and just take an extra 30-45 min?
