    I would love to join this group! It will be my first one for weight loss, so I'm excited! My normal weigh in day is friday so I'll post my weight tomorrow, but I think I can lose 20 lbs by the 4th.


    Thanks Bluiz, you are awesome :bigsmile:

    This is gonna be a GREAT group! :drinker:

    Hi everyone! Please, call me Sarah. :happy:

    Denise offered me to set up our first challenge this week. So I've been thinking about it all day and came up with a little mix. It's all physical tests. Complete as many jumping jacks, push-ups (can be modified i.e. wall, knees, etc.), and sit-ups (crunches are okay too) as possible.

    Personally, I'm going to attempt 300 of each throughout the entire week. We won't begin until Monday, March 21, since that's the last day to "weigh-in." So just think about what you can do, modify them if you need to, but don't be afraid to PUSH YOURSELF!!!

    Very excited to get to know all of you and drop this weight together!

    I'm in! I have a trip at the end of summer to be ready for.

    Currently 155.6
    Goal: 145.6

    Not sure I can even maintain below 150. It seems like I just hover at 155, but we'll see.

    I'm in too! :)
    I weigh in on Saturdays for a 7-week challenge I'm presently in. We have 4 more weeks to go. I'd love to have another group already lined up to keep me motivated and this one sounds like a perfect fit. I don't mind a bit changing to Fridays for weigh in, but it's been helping me keep tabs on my friday calories for Saturdays weigh-in.
    My goal is to lose 1-2 lbs a week.
    Was 165 last week. Crossing my fingers that the scales will be nice this week :) Will post my starting weight for this challenge on Saturday. Ultimate goal is between 135-140... so my goal for the 4'th of July Challenge will be 145 :D
    {side note... Still right behind you Shannon! ;) LOL!}

    Me please! I'm new to the 'community' part of MFP.

    Never done one of these before.

    Please let me know when to report to you my weight- I think I need to know todays, and then one before the 28th? I weigh in on Fridays, so I could post a 3.18 and 3.25 one.
    Goal in 15 weeks= 159lbs. (that is --15.5lbs from my last weigh in- would put me at a total loss of 35lbs!)

    Hi Everyone!

    Denise

    My starting weight is 158.2

    My goal weight is 144.

    That is 14.20 lbs- .92 lbs a week. I believe I can do it IF I stay focused, with this groups help.

    Thanks for starting, I am excited!!
