    Ok guys...we now have 77 members!! :bigsmile:

    I am trying out the latest chart. I'm making sure it isn't too small to see. If it is, then I'll delete it and try again. :wink:

    Simply wonderful chart!
    Thx for such a great challenge:flowerforyou:

    I'll be out of town for a day or two, so I'll continue to check in for any mini-challenges or changes...and yeah, a Buddy 4 Summer :tongue:

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

    The first 20lbs came off with 4 - 5 days of intense cardio, but everything stagnated last Fall and the cardio was no longer enough :huh: so after trying a variety of workouts, I finally took that big leap of faith and tried BodyPump....WOW and OMG! 10lbs just melted away :devil: Weights...significant weights changed everything and that 6 month wall came crashing down...amazing.

    So I definitely plan to continue with BodyPump 2 - 3 times a week. I still get in 2 days of Zumba and a couple Power Yoga sessions just to keep things changed up from day to day.

    I have not been at my present weight in 15 years! Once I break thru those mid -130s, I'll be 20+ years back :laugh: Rewinding the clock, folks...I may be 50, but you won't be able to tell by looking at me!! :tongue:

    :flowerforyou: 50, semi-retired teacher, 141lbs and 5'4.... So if you're looking for a fireball grandma-type and want to really push hard for -12lbs, I'm your gal! :laugh:

    I'm in! I'm in! I'm also a teacher. We get out of school at the end of May. I tried to enter a challenge a few weeks ago, but lost it. I need something like this to keep me focused. I've been like a hamster on a wheel for the past couple of months. Little progress. I need to commit. Yeah! Thanks! Tami

    @suzooz and @edr2b

    I think that it is wonderful that you both have set weekly goals for yourselves! Big favor: When we start posting weekly weight please make sure I know what your current weight is. I don't want to accidentally mistake it for the goal weight and mark it wrong on the chart. :wink:


    Best of luck to everyone!!! We have an amazing group and I look forward to seeing some great success! ;)

    i admit it, i didnt do 30 day shred today, truthfully i was TIRED! i did do 60 min at the gym, (i do 45 min 5 days a week & shred every day normally) but with dinner & checking homework & all the other stuff, I just didnt. Ive been doing it for 16 days straight & the only other day i missed was when we were looking for the lost dogs.
    i'm back on track tomorrow
    and somehow i managed to down 16 glasses of water yesterday - might as well have moved my desk in the ladies room LOL
    only 10 today, so at least my eyeballs arent floating anymore.LOL!!!!!!!!
