    Wow all these stories are fantastic!! We have quite a diverse group and I think that it will be ever more helpful with so many opinions.

    To all late joiners- of course you can join! :) The more the merrier.

    I'm so excited to work with all you guys because I can tell we are all really motivated and have great goals to achieve. So, as for the group, what are you guys wanting to do? Weigh-in's? Contests/challenges? Any thoughts or ideas would be great!

    Amanda - you just put the biggest smile on my face!! You have also helped me so much and it's so nice knowing that if you can lose all your weight then so can I. And 152? Good gracious you're shrinking so quickly! I'm so proud of you and can't wait until we can meet up one day :):heart: I LOVE YOU MAN!

    You're all free to add me as well! I know I got quite a few of you but not everyone :)

    Yes to the weigh-ins.. YES to challenges..

    I'm glad I make you smile! Can't wait either!!! <3

    I agree to weigh ins. Once per week maybe?
    As for challenges, I don't really have any ideas. But I would be interested in participating.

    I have a question for everyonel. My current calorie limit is 1200 per day. Is it bad if I eat less than that? Some days I am under. (yesterday I had 1107). Is this effecting my metabolism? If I'm not hungry, I don't eat up to my 1200. What do you all do?

    And feel free to add me also!

    Hey girl! Yes, it is.. to be honest. You MUST eat 1200, especially if you are working out. Your body needs it for your vital organs to function properly. However, once in a while won't kill you or throw off your whole process. I used to eat under 1200, and while I lost weight... I didn't feel my best. Now I do my best to eat more than that, and I feel great! I'm even dropping a lot faster than I was! Good luck!

    I am hoping it's not too late to sneak in...

    My name is Martina and I am 42. I will be 43 at the end of the year. I have been married for just a little over 18 years (oh man!!!) and have 2 dogs and a cat.

    I have battled weight all of my life and have definitely come out the loser (not in a good way). I was always bigger but the majority of my weight has come on since I got married. My highest weight ever was 330 a number of years ago but my starting weight was 315.8 in July. I have lost 19.4 lbs since then and am excited at the thought of this support.

    3 random things...
    1) I play in a medieval recreationist group
    2) I knit, sew, cook, embroider and kayak.
    3)I apparently have a shoe addiction.

    Hi everyone! I am 57, married, and have one step daughter, one granddaughter (8), and a large labradoodle who forces me to exercise. I am 5'8" and weigh 172. My adult life i've eaten very healthy and weighed between 140-145 most of my life . In 2000 I had a kidney transplant and to put it simply, I gained weight and could not exercise for about 7 years. My all time high was 187 pounds. I had a second transplant one year ago, feel good and exercise again but I have lost SO much stamina, strength, etc. Plus, I am 14 years older.

    I work part time and love my work.

    I tried weight watchers but lost one pound in 5 weeks. I hope I can do better here. The support here is amazing. I love the initial reason for this group...a dedicated bunch! I have been following my calories for less than a week. I hope to loss more with your support.

    So how did everyone do today? I actually did really good! I did 30 mins on the treadmill, drank 8 glasses of water, stayed in my calorie range, and best of all I actually ate fruit and veggies, which I rarely do! And to top it all off, I wasen't even hungry!

    I would love to participate in anything you guys decide to do!! I'm looking for support for not just losing weight, but to keep a healthy lifestyle once I reach my GW. :)

    As for my day, I weighed in at 128.6 this morning (woot!) and I did 65 minutes on the elliptical. I'm still trying to decide what I want for dinner, and it almost 8, yikes! Today is also my second day of taking oxyelite pro. And that's about it! Hope you all had a wonderful Friday!! :D

    I'm late to the party! I just saw that you created a new thread!

    Alright, My name is Jenny - you can call me Jenny and not JenKaMac...I live in Washington State and I am 27 and married to my college sweetheart and we have two fat cats! My husband is a videographer and I am a performer and a private voice and piano coach. I am 5'2" and currently around 134.5 given the day. My highest weight was in college at 147 and I am at the weight I was when I got married. But, I have always wanted to be 120 and I just can't seem to get below 130! I think it's a mind block or something. Annnddd.. I like to eat.

    3 things:

    1) I'm an opera singer - yep, we do exist even at my young age, and no I do not wear viking horns.
    2) I love to cook, if I wasn't a singer I may have gone to culinary school. I also LOVE shopping and wish I could sew a little better.
    3) I won big on Wheel of Fortune a few years ago. It was pretty sweet.

    I'm really needing this and the accountability! I'm totally up for weekly weigh-ins, I really suck and weighing myself. I just won't do it until I feel "skinny".

    I can't believe I said I'm 27! That's crazy. No, I'm 29. Wow, I wrote that and reread it and didn't even blink an eye. I'm in denial that I'm turning 30 in 6 month.

    Bahaha Jenny that's funny! :) I love that you're an opera singer AND I LOVE WHEEL OF FORTUNE!

    As for me, life has been a big ball of stress and I haven't been doing as good as I could be. Surprisingly enough, my eating hasn't been bad! I'm just having such a hard time motivating myself to work out. I'm in the middle of a move with no place to live set up yet, so my bf and I have to stay with my parents for a while. Money is a little scarce but I should have a job soon. I'm so ready for everything to be settled so I can just breathe!! But I will not give up, especially with how far I've come. I am so set on losing this week (I weigh in on Wednesdays) so I will let you all know how it goes.

    Amanda has kindly offered to help me run the group so I think I want to start getting things going on Monday, so that will give everyone time to get to know everyone and if we have any other ideas we can throw those out too.

    I'm sure I've already said it, but you guys are an awesome group and I'm so excited to be working through this with you all!!
