    Well i'm weighing in now. Today i weigh in at 223 so that is a gain but i have had some things happen lately that has stopped me from exercise but i'm motivated and Monday is a new week start and i will burn these lbs. I'm also buying a eliptical machine this week and instead of sitting and watching tv i will work out. lol

    If I'm too late, just send me a message to let me know. Also, can this be my weigh-in for tomorrow since I doubt I'll lose anything by morning?

    Oh Wow, I hope I am not too late to join in on this group. It fits in perfectly for me and my weight loss goal. Anyway, I started with MFP a couple months ago and well let's be honest the holidays came and I completely slacked on my weightloss goals. So what weight loss I originally had, I have completely gained back and a few more. I am kinda disgusted with myself and really wanting to change my life. I need motivation to get myself up and maintain in the right direction because I get so frustrated and sometimes bored with the same old things all the time. I suppose I need to spice it up a little hahaha.

    See below link of a new realilty show coming A&E. I saw it this morning on Good Morning Amercia!! It looks like it is going to be better than The Biggest Loser because they have built in time for the mental issues that plague the morbibly obese.

    I hate I am going to miss it because I do not have cable TV? Does anyone know if they have their shows on line to watch?

    Well I'd like to wish everyone GOOD LUCK on this challenge!! I will be removing myself from this group though as I just found out I'M PREGNANT!!! We are ecstatic and although I wanted to be more fit before conceiving we have been blessed and couldn't be happier. I will be using MFP to maintain and will be cheering you all on to reach or go beyond your July 1st goals!!

    Okay, will have to try something different - posting directly from Excel will not work.
