    I'm going to join the challenge although I won't be able to exercise for 6-8 weeks. I'm going to get in the gym for this week until my foot surgery then I'll start back up once the doc says it's okay.

    I like the idea of a longer-term challenge group - I'd like to join! Plus, it lines up perfectly for me because I've signed up for a 10k race on May 1st, and would love to lose as much weight as I can before then. I'm determined to make 2011 my year and stay on track. Last year I pressured myself to try to lose the weight aggressively, and that just backfired, so I'm setting my goals at about a pound a week for this year. If I can stick to that, I'll be at my goal weight by year end!

    Jan 3rd: 190 lbs

    I am totally in, I wanted to be at goal weight by february, but I am still miles away, I am currently down 33lb out of 62lb.
    I started this about easter last year would be great if I was nearly there exactly a year later.

    Thanks for starting this one Kelly! I've been off and on the wagon over the last 3 months. Now I am back ON! I WILL reach my goal by Easter, if not sooner. I've been essentially this same weight since LAST Easter, so losing the last 5 by then would be great. I've been trying to think of a personal challenge that will help me out. So far none that I've come up with are really what the problem is, so the search continues! I'll let you all know when I come up with one.

    Looks like a good group so far! Welcome to the newbies...maybe we can find some more too!

    So what are your goals for this month?

    I'm planning to do 5 water aerobics classes, 10 Zumba classes, 15 elliptical workouts, and at least 8 Wii workouts for the whole month. If I do more than that, that's extra points for me!:bigsmile:

    So far I have 1 water aerobics, 1 elliptical, & 1 Wii workout done - Zumba tonight & tomorrow!

    I don't think I'm really 130 lbs because I was just 125 lbs on Friday but since that's what my scale told me yesterday morning I recorded it. Now that the holidays are over and I've begun the Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid program i'm hoping I can take off and then maintain my weight.

    25th: GOAL 240

    My goals this month are simple because it's like I am starting over:
    Stay under my calories each day
    Drink 8 cups of water a day
    Exercise a minimum of 3 times a week

    I also need to find creative ways to exercise because we cancelled our gym membership and switched to basic cable, so I no longer have exercise tv. :frown: :sad: (We are doing Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover)

    I, too, have to find creative ways to workout. (Unfortunately, I've found them, but don't use them like I should!) There are several places you can find videos on-line. Youtube has a bunch (I'm strange, but I like the Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies:blushing: ), and here's another website you can use: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_videos.asp

    I have others, but I'm at school right now, so I can't get to them. I'll try to post some more of the ones I've found!

    Thanks! I didn't think about looking for videos online. My computer isn't in the greatest spot for exercising, but I could try! I will probably buy a couple of $10 DVDs at Wal-Mart.
