    OK, I am in! I have been traveling for work for the past couple of weeks so I didn't weigh in last week. I will use yesterday's weight as my starting, so I probably won't see a big change the first week. I hope to lose 10 lbs....been on a plateau for a long time so I hope to crack through that now that I am home.

    start weight: 199.6

    My name is Charice and I have 4 kids and two jobs which seem to take a lot of my time. I totally enjoy reading, running, and traveling! I will go anywhere given the opportunity! Looking forward to more challenges and some serious success on this one!! Thanks Dawn!

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Alison. Hope it's not too late to join in. I've been using MFP off and on for over a year now, but haven't been able to lose any substantial weight and keep it off. I just recently went back to school and that extra me time I used to have disappeared. I need some extra motivation and think this will be good for me. I love to read, go for bike rides, and hang out with friends and family.

    Doing a happy dance in my chair. I need to ramp up my efforts though, one pound a week is not going to meet my goal of 15 pounds lost. but a loss is a loss :happy:

    Sgreene,

    Good job! You're right a loss is a loss even if it's 1 pound. Good luck in the next week!

    Hi! I kinda fell off at the end of the last challenge. June was not a good month for me. I havent weighed in for a couple of weeks but I know Im up 5-10lbs :explode: I'll weigh in tomorrow morning and I'll use that as my starting weight and 1st week weigh in.

    Good Luck Everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Ok, I gained 9lbs since my last weigh!! This is the result of no exercise or logging my food in over 2 weeks. I will not be making that mistake again!

    Not so great, but could be worse. I have really been hitting the workouts hard the past couple of days so I was hoping for at least a little bit of loss...and so it goes. Everyone else seems to be kicking it off well! Congrats!!

    I need some motivation or tips from you girls. The only time I can squeeze some exercise in is in the morning at 5. I always have my alarm go off at that time, but I can never get myself out of bed. Any tips on accomplishing this?

    Thanks!

    Hey can I join a day late?
    I'm pretty new, I like that there is so much food info already in the system that I just have to find it. I have 4 kids under the age of 12 so I have a hard time finding time to excercise by myself, but I just got a bike and have been making the kids go riding with me at night. I have lots of baby weight hanging on that I'd like to get rid of. So this is the first challenge I've been a part of. Good luck!
