    I accept, This looks like fun. Losing is so much easier since I'm documenting things on here.
    Thanks for the challenge and I wish everyone luck.

    ps. If anyone wants to add me as a friend they are more than welcome. We all could use more friends.

    Have a blessed day everybody, April

    I've been on MFP for one week and have gained two pounds! I have been doing strength training and am not too discouraged as the last time I lost weight, I gained five pounds in the first few weeks. A challenge sounds great! If I keep gaining weight, I may just start posting measurements in desperation!

    I have no doubt in my mind that you will reach 155 by Sept/Oct, I still remember your post about wearing your weight while you walked and you have been inspiring me ever since. You so got this girl!

    I’m so happy to read your posts again, I feel happier just knowing your back home with your MFP family.

    Welcome to everyone who is new to the group! :flowerforyou:

    I did my hour walk today, and it feels great to be eating healthy and moving again. (Thanks for the challenge Bru :heart: )
    I feel like March is going to be a great weight loss month for us. Summer time is always a great help for me because I work less and have more time to exercise and I am hoping that spring helps get me into gear before my summer hours start so I can hit the ground running!

    Thank you!! I haven't worn my weight in a while due to the winter weather and my not exercising anywhere other than my living room, I may start it up again. I'm glad you got your walk on! And yes your walk on, not in :wink: Keep pushing yourself and get to moving!! You can do it!

    Got my 1 hour of walking done just now (actually went 62 minutes just to get HRM to 500 calories burned). But I am still not taking it outside. The temp has been dropping all afternoon and there is a wind chill right around 0. Yuck! I am so ready to walk and run outside again. I also got an hour bike ride done during the kiddies nap time today. March is off to a good start!

    Good night!

    Hang in there Kelly. TOM showed up a week early for me too :grumble: But it showed up after I weighed in today which is probably my only saving grace this morning. I know how determined you are, that 2 will be history in no time. Remember, 155 together by the end of the year is very possible for us both. I say the end of the year, but not Dec.. I think Sept/Oct ish. We got this. And if we get there earlier great, and if it does take a little longer, so be it. We just had our first Thanksgiving/Christmas season on this new lifestyle journey, so we weren't sure how to take it. We've been through summer before and rocked it out, so spring should be pretty spiff too :happy:

    We've been thru this entire journey together so far, Bru. So I know with you by my side we will both succeed! Its so weird that we both hit the ruts together! :laugh: Now we can come out of our holes together! Yep its like Groundhog Day! :laugh: My original goal when I started this 295 days ago was to hit 159 by my 40th birthday in October. When I changed it to 155 I have no idea....:huh: but anyway - with the determination we both have, we will hit this together! :bigsmile:

    All you newbies take note....Bru will help each & every one of you kick some *kitten*. She is one amazing woman! :flowerforyou:

    I'm the K in the BMK challenge that she shares and they are the best challenges! Jump aboard if you need an extra push or just to challenge yourself to do just a bit more. They are what helped me get to where I am today.

    I got my first 1 hour walk in today and day 2 of kicking sodiums *kitten* is done as well! :drinker: :bigsmile: Tomorrow I'm going to start my calf raises too!

    I'm in as well. That is actually what my goal is anyway! I have a bellydance performance first weekend in April so losing a few more pounds would be awesome!

    Okay! So February I didn't make my goal of 5 lbs... but I did lose 3.7. It's a loss at any rate. March is the month to kick butt!
    March 1: 215.6
    March 31: Really really want 210! (209.9 would really make me happy....)
    Giddy up!!

    Wednesday is the only day of the week that I try to get my gym time in at night. Every other day it's 5am. So...it takes a little different motivation for me to get there at the END of the day after work and the kids have settled down. Gotta get through a few hours and then get my BUTT MOVING to shake of the 5lbs!!

    In all in as well. Although I already had a goal of 5 lbs to lose by mid March, but I would for sure love to lose 5 more. When's the weigh-in?
