Question of the Day: How are you planning to lose the weight to meet your challenge goal?

Very careful calorie counting, little to no processed foods, and a whole lot of walking/P90X/Zumba!! :laugh:

I stated the 30 day shred today and plan on sticking it out for the duration. I also plan to walk 5 day a week. It's a plan!:blushing:

This is great for me! I have been kind of a "lurker" around these message boards, and have not committed to one of these challenges. The 2nd "mini-goal" is perfect for me, since that is the week of my Carribean cruise!! My husband and I are also going to FL for your anniversary in June. Would like to be at least one size smaller!

I came across the followning quote that made me smile: "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." ~ Zig Ziglar

So, since we can all use motivation and/or a good laugh....

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What new quotes, anecdotes, or one-liners have you come across recently?

blueviolet20

Just an idea, could we put everyones first name by the screen name on the chart? Im fine with people knowing my 1st name, but I dont know how others feel, we're together for at least the next 12 weeks, would be nice to be on a "1st name basis" with everyone.

My name is Jaclyn. Good to meet you Felicia!

I just wanted to let all of you know that I will get all the new members added tomorrow and I'll update any weights that were just posted. For my own sanity I can't post a new chart every time someone gives me a new weight so how about we change our weigh-in window for those of you who do not weigh-in on Thursdays. You will still mark your weight under the week for that Thursday though. (I'm sorry to those of you that are giving up the scale for Lent...please don't feel like you have to weigh-in...you can wait till after Lent and then post info for the next closest week. )

Official weigh-ins window is now from THURSDAY MORNING to SUNDAY MIDNIGHT. I'll be posting the updated chart on Monday evenings that display the info from the previous "Thursday" weigh-in. If you want your info on the cart, then PLEASE post during that weigh-in window. I would love to add you all individually daily throughout the week, but with close to 100+ members to this challenge that is just too much. (I'd rather have the challenge open to anyone at any time than make a limit to the members...but because of that we've got to stick to some basic rules.)

In regards to the question/suggestion about "Real Names": I would happily put real names on the chart but I'm sure some people might like to keep that private. I would suggest that if you want others to know your real name, include it in your signature (see signature tab above). Then you can easily call people by their given names.

FYI, I'm Vic. :laugh:



*************** IMPORTANT INFOMATION...PLEASE READ *********************

Weigh-in window is THURSDAY MORNING until SUNDAY MIDNIGHT
New charts will ONLY be posted on MONDAY EVENINGS

If you want your weight on the chart, weigh-in during the weigh-in window. :bigsmile:

madamelaporte

great since I weigh in on Monday mornings Ill have to remember to put it on on Thursday so I dont get missed off the chart

Although Im wondering where you are Vic??? Im in UK and tend to weigh in about 6am?!?!? So would this possibly be before midnight where you are?!?!?

Thanks for doing this its really great for us all!
