Add me! I had enough and ready to start a new plan I've been thinking about doing. I have about 100lbs but maybe 40lbs by june would be great.0
-
Ok so here are a few of the details of the challenge that I have been thinking about:
Name: Snowflakes to Sunshine 40lb Challenge
Start Date: January 1st, 2011
Group join deadline: December 28th, 2010 (This will give me time to get everyone's name and create a sort of chart for weekly progress)
Weigh-In Day: Friday mornings (Please let me know if this is ok) I picked this day because its right before the weekend, and for some reason Mondays can be hard because over the weekend is when people tend to slip a little.
The goal of the group is to motivate each other, keep each other accountable and share ideas and successes. With that being said, if there is someone that does not check-in to the group for two straight weeks...their name will be deleted from the chart. I hate to do this, but like I said before...in order for this to work, EVERYONE has to be on board and accountable.
I also thought it would be great to check in to the board each day to share something like a new workout that you did, a tasty recipe, if you are struggling with something. This is just to ensure that you get the support you need; because as we know, weight loss is a DAILY struggle.
Please let me know if you guys have anything to add to this! Can't wait!0 -

Fridays work for me, that is the day I check in anyways.0 -
so I just moved from California to Massachusetts, so I got rid of a few things along the way like my old SCALE, so first thing to do is go out and get a scale....maybe a digital one this time. Last time I weighed in I was 245 ..soooo I hope I am not over that because I have not been so good..it would be amazing if I can get back down to 200 pounds I am so excited!!!!!

Fridays are wonderful for weigh-ins
Here are my stats for now, higgest weight that I actually allowed myself to look at the scale 262 (it was probably a lil higher at one point)
MFP Starting Weight - 258.8 ~Current Weight (as of this morning) 238 ~Goal Weight 140
I am hoping to be at 198 at the end of our challenge ...0 -
Friday weigh-ins are great.
My stats are as follows:
Starting weight: 343lbs
Current weight: 229lbs
Goal weight for challenge: 189
Overall goal weight for 2011: 170
Good luck and have fun with challenge. Remember if you don't make the 40lbs goal mark, but you have lost some weight along the way, it is still a loss and that is better than nothing (or gaining!)!0 -

Silly little question-should we send our stats to you on Dec 28th, or on Jan 1st to get started? I would prefer to not send them now-as I want as accurate as a read out as possible on my weight loss.0
-
I would love to do this! I have a family reunion in June so that would be wonderful.
Fridays work great for me as well.0 -
Fridays would work for me as well!! I am so excited to get started!! and by the way I think it is a great idea to boot people out after two weeks!! this gives people the motivation to check in every week!! I think this will help keep other people on track!!!0
