    I've played around with it and finally created a banner for our challenge for anyone who is interested. Copy and paste the link below to put it in your signature!

    Make sure that the letters URL and IMG are lower case throughout the link. For some reason...that's important!

    I've created a spreadsheet for our challenge. I'll try to make sure I get everyone added. I have posted it on my wall for anyone who needs it.

    If you haven't yet added me as a friend, please send me a request. There will be information posted there from time to time and I will do my best to help keep everyone motivated.

    We are up to 23 participants so far. I am so excited!!! This is the first challenge I've set up so I'm so excited to have so many people on board with me!

    I would love to join! I desperately need the accountability through the holidays, and the challenge ends on my son's 4th birthday! I would love to celebrate my success along with his birthday!

    Some are doing other challenges. I picked the 17th because it would give people 2 weeks to see the challenge. If you want, you can add me and we can motivate each other. I've only been back in the weight loss game for a month or so now and it's a lot of work for sure. You can do this! Have you weighed yourself? If you want, you can get a head start! Whatever will help you!

    We're already up to 28! How awesome is that?! I'm so excited!!!

    What do you all think about just giving it this week and starting on the 10th? I think with 28, we'll probably get a few more...but it's a great start.

    I'll leave it open so more can join since it's such a long challenge.

    What do y'all think?!

    The 10th sounds good to me, and like you said, we can always pick up more that next week anyway!

    i think the 10th is great! what is our weigh in day?
  • GretchenReine

    Ok everyone! Monday, the 10th it is! We will do our starting weight on Monday and then the rest of the Mondays we will way and report our miles.

    I've created a spreadsheet but it's just a draft. I'm sure I have more names to add and I need to do calculations and things like that.

    I'm going to leave the group open. Since it's such a long challenge...I'd rather give people the opportunity to join us on the journey.

    I will post reminders and stuff on my wall as well as the spreadsheet link for anyone that doesn't have it.

    Each week I will start a new thread here! I'm so excited for Monday!!!!!!!

    I would love to join IF I can do my workouts in water aerobics classes (5-6 hours weekly). Just 10 minutes in one of my classes equates to 1-2 miles walking on land so these are great classes. May I join? I'm very competitive and this will be my first challenge. Let me know.
