    I'm very in - I need to lose 18 by mid-May, so if I could get rid of a lot of that in the next 6 weeks, it would be wonderful. I'm involved in a couple of other challenges but I'm finding I forget about them during the week (we only check in once a week)...would we be able to check in with each other a little more often, just to be supportive? Maybe create mini-challenges during the week and have Skinny Saturdays?

    just an idea--- how about Sunday pick goals for the week

    Mon- Goal
    Tue Goal

    etc

    check in every day IF possible --- life gets in the way from time to time---
    all weigh in on sundays and have a goal weight for the week that way we can chear each other on, if we're all logging our calories maybe we could post if we met calories or under or over

    I am TOTALLY up for the challenge!!! I have been needing and wanting to do a challenge with someone. I am 52 years old and it gets harder to lose weight as you creep up in age - but I have lost 30 lbs and kept it off for 2 years and I want and need to lose another 30 PLUS... so far I have lost 6 lbs and check in every day with my food and fitness.

    So YES please count me in - thanks for the challenge!!!

    Unfortunately, I'm at school and the only day I have access to a scale is Thursday, so I'll be weighing in then. Feel free to set another day if you want, but I'll be reporting back every Thursday. :smile:

    I AM IN! OKAY SO I DEFINITELY LET MYSELF SLIP BIG TIME! WITH ALL OF THE STRESS OF NURSING SCHOOL AND TWO JOBS, I USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE. I HAVEN'T REALLY GAINED MUCH BACK SINCE I SLACKED OFF, BUT IT HAS HELPED ME TO REALIZE THAT IF I WORKED HARDER I MIGHT SEE SOME RESULTS. EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBERS HAVEN'T SHOWN MORE THAN 3 LB INCREASE, MY MUSCLES ARE BASICALLY GONE AND MY STOMACH IS DISGUSTING.

    I AM SO IN GIRL! I ALSO WANT TO MAKE MY B/F REALIZE HE NEEDS TO PUT A RING ON THIS FINGER SOON...HOPEFULLY SKINNY FINGER :D (ITS BEEN ALMOST 5 YEARS)

    I WILL TRY TO KEEP IN TOUCH. HOPEFULLY THIS CAN GET ME BACK INTO LOGGING AND EATING GOOD FOODS.

    My goals for the week are to drink all my water every day!
    Remember to take my medication!
    Exercise at least 4 days this week!
    Lose 5 pounds (I am aiming high)!
    Make it around the 3 block radius on my bike without having to walk the second hill, and being able to breathe when I get home!

    Ok that last one is really a wish that at the end of the 6 weeks I want to be able to do!

    hey guys!!! Here is my goal for the week.

    get at least one hour work out in a day.
    be down two lbs this week :)

    start weight is......190 :(

    my goal weight after 6 weeks is....177.

    anyone want to have a specific weigh in day??

    Ive never done this before but this is OUR challenge. so any ideas are welcomed and encouraged!! We are here to support and encourage eachother and everyone is welcome. Make sure you say your weight out loud as well as your goals for th week and it will help you stick to them. Everyone have a wonderful week and we can check in as much as we want :)

    Also an other fun idea is to take a before picture.. I know that usually is discouraging but it will motivate you after the 6 weeks to see how far you have come.

    Okay well my starting weight as of this morning was 168.8 lbs.
    My goals for the week are to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day, No sweets until Sunday-then only limited, eat fast food no more than twice this week (I live a very hectic life), exercise at least twice this week, stay under 1500 calories everyday.
    My weight loss goal is to be at 166.5 lbs that is a loss of 2.3 lbs.
    My over all weight loss goal for the 6 weeks is 12 lbs. I would love more, but 12 would be awesome! That would put me at 158 lbs.

    I will try to take a before picture tonight when i get home.

    So I am on track so far. I did Day 1 of Insanity (only 59 more to go LOL) and I'm on 48 Ounces of water so far ( My day started at 0340 and it's now 11 )

    How are you doing on your goals?

    Hey Ladies,

    I woud love to join the challenge as it may get me going harder right now. I'm currently on a night shift rotation but the weigh-ins are doable on Sundays.

    My weekly goals are:

    1) At least 4 days of exercise
    2) 2 liters of water per day
    3) At the end of 6 weeks, drop a pant size & 10lbs-yup I'm a slow loser:(
    4)Eat 85% paleo/15 % may include some grains

    Hello, everyone! I'm new to this site but I am in for the 6 week challenge. Pls. feel free to add me. I can use all the support I can get.
    I'm aiming to walk for at least 30 mins. 4x/week. Drink more water. And go low-carb coz that's what worked for me last time.
