25 by the 25th

HotSouthernMess

I have been wanting to start of a group, made up of people who would like to lose 25 pounds by December 25th. I know to some, this will seem unrealistic...but for those of us who need to lose a lot of weight, I think it is do-able. However, I know that for some...it is asking a lot. So, my idea is, if you want to join this group...post your starting stats and how much YOU want to lose by December 25th. I believe that I can lost 20 pounds by then (because I have been losing about 2 pounds per week already and have been slipping a lot) so if I really push myself and stick to the healthy eating, I think 25 pounds is attainable. And what a great Christmas gift to myself that would be Each week we can weigh in with our new stats and how much more we need to lose in order to reach our goal. I would like to see the scale move and the dress sizes drop and really end this year on a happy note! Anyone who would like to join is more than welcome, but if you have anything nasty to say about this post...please keep it to yourself!

Let us know when you create the group. =D Or if you need any help.

Here are some suggestions for the group?

-Should we report once a week our status as far as how we're doing, our experiences, our ups and downs, etc.?

-Perhaps we could all report to one person our progression and that person receiving the data can enter it into the group thread. And that if there are any questions, concerns, advice, motivational issues, we can all input into the thread ourselves.
(I just noticed that a thread with very many posts within one day discourages me--odd maybe? haha).

Well, these are just suggestions. I haven't been active in a group before but I thought this would help. I'm not sure how a group manages or what to expect being in a group and actively engaging with its group members.



BTW. Does anyone know how to create a Topic or Thread? I'm having trouble. =\ I ventured ALMOST everyplace of this site. I can't remember how I've done it before. haha ^.^

This is a great idea! I think to create a post, you have to go to recent topics or something and there should be a link that says "new post". I am trying to find the "groups" LOL
