    Awesome!!

    I definitely didn't expect such a great turn out!

    I was thinking weekly weigh-ins... Setting a goal for a shorter duration (a week/ 4 weeks?)

    Also I want to include measurements and ACTION oriented goals (ex. This week I will work out 4 days) so even if we do not quite reach our WEIGHT goals, we wil have NON-SCALE VICTORIES!

    My other group (which I will continue participating in) does something along the lines of:

    SW: Start weight. GW: goal weight. CW: Current weight
    Gonabfit: SW: ____/ GW:____/ CW:____/ Difference: +/- ___ lbs
    Random: SW____/GW_____/CW:_____ Difference: +/- ___ lbs


    We update our weights weekly in that group... this may help us stay more focused and keep our eyes on SMALL CHUNKS instead of the big pot of gold at the end of the tunnel.

    Once I make the private group we can go into our personal goals, why we want this time to be different, and how we plan to reach our goals!

    I'd like to be a part of this challenge as well! Even if I don't make it to a 40 pounds loss by the end of the year I don't mind having a support group and weekly weigh ins.

    Can I play? I was aiming to lose 20 but really my goal should be closer to 40. I set my goal low bc deep down I think I can't do it :/ motivation and help would be great!
  • I'm so happy I found this blog...Losing 40 pounds is halfway to my goal. I would love to join the group!

    I'm in. My actual goal by the end of the year - starting fresh today - was 35 pounds...so 40 would be a huge bonus - however, i'd be happy with 15 too. I'm doing my best to lose this weight and any motivation, help, suggestions, support I can get along the way would be great.
