    Welcome to all the new members of the group! I will be posting a new check in on Sept 21 - called Daily Check In - Fall 2014. If anyone wants to see something new just let us know. We are pretty flexible. Also, if the group stays this size I don't mind tracking weights and goals on a spreadsheet. I feel like the accountability is here (great supportive group!!!!) but I don't feel like I set any consequences\penalties for me not meeting my goals every season or maybe not even clearly defining my goals except I want to be under XXX weight. Not sure if anyone else feels the same or has any suggestions. I also went back in MFP to the spring of 2009 (pre-husband) when I lost 30lbs - gee did I work out a lot more than 30 mins a day. Hum? I might be on to something here.

    Have a great day everyone!!! Today is fabulous!!! My daughter is back to school and my husband started a new job yesterday. He has been a full time student for 1-1/2 years. The house is soooo quiet :bigsmile:
