    Hi everyone! (I am composing a group message and sending it out to each person at a time, which should be fun ;)

    If you are reading this message it is because you decided to join the 3 month challenge that I posted a few days ago. It is scheduled to start tomorrow, Friday the 7th. I personally weight myself in the morning (naked and after the bathroom) but if you don't have a scale just remember to weigh yourself at the same time of day on Fridays. There has been tons of research re: what happens to ones body as the day goes on! Oh yea, also if you're going to weigh in at the gym, do it BEFORE you work out!

    I think it would be a good idea for everyone to have everyone else that's in the 'challenge' as a friend so at the end of the message I will list everyones screen name. It also would be a great idea to have diary's open to friends or the public (those are the other options in addition to private. You can change it under settings.) I think it will be helpful! If someone is doing well, we can peek and see what kinds of foods they're eating and also if someone is struggling we can give advice on food choices!

    It may be smarter to have everyone private message me their weights every Friday and then when I get them all I can input them into the computer and I will get it out and post it to the Forum as soon as it's done! If you would like your actual pounds hidden, I certainly can do that, I will just post pounds lost starting week 2. Just let me know, I respect everyone's privacy and decision.

    I'm really looking forward to this! I think I have told several people already but I think that this 'challenge' is a great plan! Last January my best friend (who lives 1500 miles away) and I did a similar thing between just us. We took before pics in a bikini and sent them to eachother to hang on to. If we didn't meet our goal (we had a 5 month, 25 pound goal) then we had to post the others on their facebook page for their world to see. To me, that would be the most mortifying thing EVER! It worked because we both lost over 25 lbs. It was really really helpful for me to know that I had to send her my weight every Friday. I liked Fridays because you have all work week to "work off" any weekend damange :) She put them on paper for us to track. It was so helpful! I believe this will for for all of us.

    If anyone got this message and does not wish to continue on with the 'challenge' just let me know! No problem!

    Talk to you all soon!

    Kerri

    Thanks for starting this Kerri! I've been looking for something to keep me motivated. I had weight loss surgery in October and have lost a decent amount, but as I started eating again, all the old habits come back too. I need to focus more on what I am eating and start exercising too. Maybe you ladies can keep me in check? Good luck to everyone!

    Three Month goal: lose 15 pounds, more importantly exercise 3X a week!
    Week 1 (1/7) - 187.5

    Kerri, I am sad to say I did not meet my goal today, my weight is 239.0. I am trying not to beat myself up about it. I know what I did. We went out to eat last night after a high school bowling match. I had salad and baked chicken but I'm sure it had a lot of sodium in it. Oh well.. I am going to try and not get on a scale until next Friday, yes, I know a WHOLE week. I have been on the scale everyday for the last year and a half. this will be huge for me, but I am interested to see how driven I am to do what I know I have to without constant worrying about every ounce, at this point in the game I want to see pounds and not ounces coming off. Wish me luck!

    Current weight: 181.2. One of the girls at work just asked how much I've lost. She says it really shows. YAY!

    I'm DETERMINED not to step on the scale again until next Friday. This week's goal is to do my 30 day shred every day, no exceptions, no excuses. Also, to log every bite that goes into my mouth, whether it's shameful or awesome! It's going to be hard (really hard...) because my birthday is on Sunday. That means cake for sure and probably a date to some wonderful fantastic restaurant. I'm thinking maybe P.F. Chang's. Yummmyyyyy! I will have to be careful for sure!

    2 more days left to be 23...hopefully 24 will be my healthiest, sexiest year ever!

    I'm in! This falls perfectly with my work's Biggest Loser contest. Our last day is right before Spring Break so this goes one extra week then my work does. I have to weigh-in on Friday's at work too.

    I am using up all my groupons I have been collecting. I started Boxing two days ago and I have an unlimited amount of classes for a month. Then I start up with a personal trainer twice a week for 12 sessions. Then I have 8 bootcamp classes I need to use at another place. Then I have a month membership to a Krav Maga Martial Arts Fighting gym to use after that! All this while working full-time and Master's classes full-time at night....this will be hard!

    I hope it isn't too late to join! I need all the motivation I can get. I gained 50 pounds while pregnant with each of my daughters (born in 2007 and 2010) which got me to my CW of 189. I am starting the 30 day shred today and hopefully I can stick with it. My cousin is getting married at the beach in April and I would prefer to not be mistaken as a beached whale. My goal for the wedding is 165. Good luck everyone! We can do this!
