    Sounds good to me! I'll be waiting for your instructions, oh fearless leader =P

    If I'm the leader, you should be afraid. ;) *looks at the big fat ZERO on the ticker below*

    I'd like to jump in too, and this will also be my first challenge!

    I'm 27 years old, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and getting married in September of 2013 to the best future hubby ever. I've pretty much struggled with my weight my entire life, and my doctor gave me a real shock when we started talking about gastric bypass and blood pressure medicine. My ultimate goal is to not buy a plus sized wedding dress!

    Oh Yes, I need this!!

    I'm a mommy of 3 and step of 1 :) Just recently married the Love of my Life, we were prego, but I lost the baby and now the wedding is over I need something else to focus on.

    I have started calorie counting and excercising. My goal is to maintain the 1200 calories a day and excercise 4-5 times a week even if it's a 15 minute walk.

    We are planning on trying to get prego again, but until then I need to shed some weight. I weigh now what I weighed when I gave birth to my oldest and weigh more than I have my whole life. Don't want to have to loose this 50 lbs on top of another 30!!


    Thanks for making this group, it's going to be great!!

    I'd love to join in this group. My name is Erica. I'm 25 and just moved out on my own to live in NYC. I exercise about 4-5 times a week and am just getting serious with running and am trying to improve my distance. My favorite workout though is my weekly boxing class! I'd like to be down about about 20 pounds by halloween with all of you fine people.

    I'd love to join if I can sneak in near the deadline!

    I'm a 41 year old mom of 9 great children, married for 20 years, homeschooling, football fan with 4 boys in football, and gearing up for soccer season to begin, too!

    I've been doing The 30-Day Shred, and plan to give it another go when I finish next week.

    I'm in!! My goal is to lose 2lbs per week for a year - & after dropping 27lbs I hit a plateau & haven't lost anything in 3 weeks. This is the perfect way to get a boost! Short term goals are great for regaining motivation! Thanks!!

    YAY! Looks like we've got our group! There's 38 of us!

    What do y'all feel is a good size "team"? I'm thinking of having 5 teams total: 4 teams of 8 and 1 team of 6. Or would y'all rather see more teams with a smaller amount of members per team?

    Remember, the point of teams is so that you can have more personalized motivation and accountability throughout the challenge, even though we'll all be rooting one another on as well. Having a team will insure that someone is looking for you to checkin and is personally paying attention to your goals and your feed.

    Thoughts?


    PS: I'll reply back HERE on this thread tomorrow with the final team information! ;)

    If you want to round up your number to 40 and need another person or two - I'm in :) If not, no worries.
    I'm a 28 year old teacher who is about to go back to work after relaxing and renovating my new house all summer :) This would be great to get back on track.

    Is it too late to join?
    id love to be a part of this group! I want to lose another 30ish pounds and have been stuck at a plateau for the last month. I would love to hit my goal by my 25th birthday (november 6th, 1 week after halloween) so this would be great for me!

    I think any amount is fine as long as there arent too many people in one group (like 10) or as long as there arent too many groups (4 members per group for 40 people, ten teams might get confusing) but really its up to you i think we could all handle anything...as long as we are in it lol and thanks again for getting this started!

I teach Spin at the local Y and exercsie everyday, but the weight is NOT coming off! It is definitely my bad food choices. I am heavier than I have ever been and this includes pregnancy! ugh! Looking forward to dropping 20! :)
