I'm looking to join a group that does a weekly weigh in...some sort of challenge. Anyone know of any going on...or about to start?

I was faithful to this site until February, then fell off the wagon. Luckily, I didn't gain any weight back...I acutally lost a couple of pounds, but I look at the time lost and think how much more I couldve lost.

I recently came upon a picture of myself from July 2006, right before I started my weight loss journey. I've lost roughly 80 pounds since then, but still have over 100 to go.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to join a weekly weigh in group? That is what gives me the most motivation.

    Well, I definitely think we can start one, but I don't know what to call it. I'd like to do a weekly weigh in, but i'm not sure of the time frame? Maybe we could start next week...mid week maybe, and go for a couple of months? Summertime challenge? thoughts? ideas? this is going to be fun.

    How about Summer Sisters......... for women who want to lose weight in the face of all of summers obstacles! (ie- vacations, ice cream, bbq's) We could weigh in weekly in a weekly post...... and track our group losses?

    How about we do our first weigh in now and move on from there? What's a good day? Monday seems good...keeps you from being too naughty on the weekend :)

    I've lost one pound and have 29 to go.

    And summertime sisters sounds fun!

    Summer Sisters....sounds good. But what about the men? Surviving Summer? Is that too corny?

    Give it to August? That'll be the time frame to lose as much (in the healthy way) as possible?
