    Thats the way to think!!! Lets start in the AM??? Who says you have to begin on monday?? LOL. Question, though...I am new to this site and have yet to figure out how to get back to a forum you are following...

    At the top there are a few links, one of them is my topics, it will give you a list of all the topics you have posted to.

    Sounds like a good place to start.....shall we say set our goals for about end of May goal....about 45 days?

    I just have one question....can we have weigh in on Friday morning??? Friday is always my day of rest and night out!!! Lol

    Also I think you add your stats to the signature box....and update there as needed.

    Mid May is good :) I will have to adjust my goals a bit, but that is ok. Smaller goals are easier to achieve!! I do not see why Friday morning would be a problem, we all need a night out now and again.

    Thanks for leading us Shandke :):)

    Well, it's Wednesday morning, off to work and I've made a Vega power shake for breakfast. Packing a raw lunch with some ezekiel bread and I've cooked some Tilapia for dinner. I'm trying to eat less refined sugars and focus on protein and vegetables (difficult sometimes, working next to a deli and a yogurt shop) :P

    I'm covering a class tonight so teaching an extra hour of zumba, and I will try to add 15 minutes of weights to the end.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Hey everyone! My goal this week is to exercise 4 times of at least 30 minutes each day. And drink more water of course. Got me some boxing to do today! I'm going to hit 10 lbs this month if it kills me! Well......maybe not kills me. Lol! Good luck everyone!

    Ok, so.... to make it easier on shandke or whoever is compiling this information lets post a standardized response. im just using what someone posted earlier. copy and paste this in a new reply and fill it out to fit your goals.

    if everyone is ok with it, we will do a weekly weigh in on friday mornings (unless fridays dont work for a majority) so, every friday, copy and paste the following and repost it.

    DATE: (04/13/2011)
    Week: 1
    SW: XXX lbs
    CW: XXX lbs
    GW: XXX lbs
    Mon - Daily plan / goal
    Tue - Daily plan / goal
    Wed - Daily plan / goal
    Thurs - Daily plan / goal
    Fri - Daily plan / goal
    Sat - Daily plan / goal
    Sun - Daily plan / goal
    Additional Goals:


    at the start of a new week we should post these stats and then one person should put em in a blog or a new post so we can see and compare.

    so by tomorrow (sat) or sunday we should have a full list of whos in our little group.

    also i think that our group shouldnt just be about posting our own goals and weights, we can do that by ourselves if we wanted to. we should want to help each other and get to know each other. so if you find yourself having trouble working out or staying away from the pantry, POST, and we should all help!

    Please add in your comments and ideas. this should be something we all create. put in to this as much as you want of as little. either way, i look forward to meeting you all and getting to know you better.

    by the way, my name is Gabe. haha nice to meet you. ADD ME! :)

    EDIT:

    the last friday in may is the 27th... so shall we calculate our goals to that?

    Hi Gabe!! I think that is a wonderful idea! Everyone contributing in the makings of the challenges and what not..

    What does everyone think about this week? Since we are starting on a wednesday should we weigh on friday?? That is only 2 days...I guess it really doesnt matter. Wondering what you guys were all thinking...

    Oh and my name is Amber, Im not just Ashers mom!!! Lol.
