    I had an okay day. I was out with my mom at the mall all day, which can make things a bit tough lol But I did okay.

    I'm in!! My goal is 20 lbs - New to this site, use to weight watchers so not sure how the calorie counting will go but looking forward to trying. Does anyone have any exercise suggestions - I was thinking about trying Insanity or 30 day shred...I'm predominately working out from home.

    I'm in hope it's not too late to join - very fed up as trying but not losing my goal is a stone by christmas 16ibs
    how do we change my settings so people can see what I'm eating that might help me I think.
    I work 12 hr days so if anyone can recommend any food meal plans I can prepare in advance it would help.

    Welcome everyone who joined yesterday. Not too late at all.

    I need to push myself to get out an exercise in the dark nights. It's getting dark here in the UK from about 4pm.

    Any suggestions?

    Welcome everyone who has joined.

    I am struggling with the exercising at night, now that its getting dark at 4pm and I don't finish work until 5pm.

    Any suggestions?

    I am finding myself in the same predicament. I am actually afraid to run in my neighborhood at night. Not the safest nor well lighted area but I need to get in my running outside time(training for a half marathon). If anyone has any suggestions for me.

    I would love to join in. I would like to lose 24lb by xmas but think that is a tough order. I will therefore settle for 10lb. Anything over that is a bonus.

    Can those of you unmotivated or feeling unsafe to run at night do it in the morning? It will give your metabolism a boost to start off your day.

    I'm currently trying to motivate myself to go to one of my least fav zumba instructors in 1.5 hrs. The challenge is getting my kids ready and on time, too.

    I am in too if it's not too late to join. I want to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. I am still trying to find the time to fit a workout into my day so I dont know if 20 lbs by Christmas is possible but I am going to try!

    I'm aiming for 25lbs, but as long as I get over 14 I'll be happy.

    I can't fit in the gym before work as my partner takes the car in the morning and I wouldn't be back in time. Am swimming tonight which gets me out of the house and moving.

    I know I won't go to the gym by the time I get home so I decided I wanted to try something at home as well and was going back and forth between a few but think I have settled on Jillians 30 Day Shred - I've heard great things and am starting tonight. I'll keep you posted:smile:

    I've tried that, I really liked it. I just haven't got into a routine of it yet. Hope you get on well with it :)

    I'm up for this challenge if it's not too late! I would love to be in ONEderland by Christmas, but I'm going to be a little more realistic and say 15 lbs.

    Still getting the hang of this twitter thing, does anyone have a manual for it? :laugh: :laugh: I'll use your hashtag... I'm @TheRealLizagna

    I am not a morning person but it looks like I may not have a choice. I am going for a run today at 7:00pm with a friend. I am going to plan to run tomorrow morning at 7:15am after I drop my son off at school. My goal is to get myself up at 5am to run in the mornings by next week. My problem is that I am up late doing paperwork for work.

    I usually weigh myself on a Friday as it gives me time to recover from shoddy weekends lol. Anyone else have a weighing day preference?

    I used to weigh in on Fridays for the same reason BUT i used to celebrate weight loss a little too much throughout the weekend. So now I officially weigh in Thursday mornings. Its far enough away from the weekend that i can recover from bad choices but i don't get weekend cocky lol. I'll weigh in for this group though whenever everyone chooses.

    How about we all stick to our preferred days and just post in here on that day.

    I weighed in this morning and have maintained from last week which is a bonus considering Halloween hit. But it's only the 4th so I have plenty of time.

    I think the final weigh in should be Christmas Eve.

    Anyone else?
