    I have a friend who does that type of fitness class and loves it!! It has really boosted her confidence.

    I just joined about a week ago, and I've worked out and stayed under my calories every day.... but I KNOW I will need more motivation... So count me in.
    I have yet to get on the scale since my first weigh-in so I dont know how much I lost my first week.... I had gone to the Dr. (first time in almost a year) and I almost cried when I saw the scale... I verified my home scale said the same.. and logged in here. I WILL change myself!!! :)

    im samantha (:
    5' 6'' & 233.2 lbs
    60 day goal is 195 (37 lbs)
    I'm a senior year nursing student & would love to reach my ultimate goal for summer / start of my internship in aug, but i know it might be high expectations. i want to be someone healthy & in shape so that my patients don't wonder why they're taking medical advice from the fat nurse ):

    *excited about this group!!!! (:

    I'm Alice
    5'8"/ 198
    Current physical activity- light
    Goal weight in 60 days: 185
    About me & my motivation: In about 9 weeks, I will leave for Costa Rica with an environmental service learning class that will include strenuous physical activity, and I don't want to be the one who slows the group down!

    And. . . on Monday I start an 8-week fitness program as a "client" for an exercise physiology class at the college where I teach. So some exercise & sports science major will have the job of designing an exercise program for me and then his/her grade will depend, in part, on whether I like it enough to stick to it. So I'm hoping this group will help both me AND that unsuspecting kid reach our goals!!

    Hi -- I'm Lynn. Am a mother of two girls - one who is 22 years old and the other one is 18.
    I'm 5'7" and weight is 174.6
    My goal weight at the end of this challenge is 159.
    I live in Richmond, VA
    I work a fulltime job -- usually average about 50 hours per week. Some of those are late a night (not all the time).
    My physical activity is null. I bought myself a HRM for Christmas, but haven't used it yet. I do have a treadmill that I can walk on -- just haven't made it yet. It's been put up since before Christmas (to get it out of the way).
    I've been a member of MFP since September and have lost 11 pounds.
    I can't wait to get to know everyone and get this challenge going.

    Allyson -- thanks for starting this.
    Alice -- I totally thought you were talking about some other kind of exercise. It sounds interesting though. Can't wait to hear what they have you do.

    Lynn
