Losing 20 in your 20's!

Hey All!

I'm looking for 19 other 20-something (males or females) to join my challenge.

I just stepped on the scale this morning and was disgusted by my number. I started grad school in January and have been totally stressed out, which has been a major factor in my weight gain. I was an athlete in my undergrad days and the fact that I have become so lazy is unacceptable to me. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I feel horrible in my body and I can't take it anymore, not to mention I barely have any clothes that fit. Time to get moving and eat healthy, no more excuses! SO WHO'S WITH ME?

HERE IS THE PLAN: If you want in, reply to this post with your info (see my example below). Then I'm going to randomly break up the group into 5 teams of 4 people each. Each week we will check in as a whole group and see which team gets bragging rights for that week. During the week, I highly suggest daily communication with your teammates in order to maintain motivation, but if you can't post one day, no biggie because your team still has 3 other people to motivate each other.

I think our end date should be Thanksgiving...that gives us roughly 14 weeks. It's going to be a tough 14 weeks but we can do it!!

Looking forward to meeting you!

    I have a lot more to go than just 20, but I think dropping 20 by Thanksgiving will certainly help me stay in line with my Christmas goals, so I'm in!

    Okay, I have never done one of the MFP challenges before because I always feel like I wouldn't have the time to do it. But this doesn't seem bad. But lately, I have been stuck at the same weight and to be honest, I'm getting sick of it!!! And I have about 20 pounds to go til my goal, so I really think this one is for me. So, I'll join!!!

    I've never really joined a group before so this might be the motivation I need!

    Yes I'll allow it! Team placement may not end up being completely random because I might put you with someone who says that have a few more than 20 they want to lose.

    I'm in! I haven't actually set my GW in stone because I want to wait and see what I look/feel like, but the ballpark figure is around 20lbs, so this sounds great
