Different by 2012 open group

andshrinking

Hey guys. So I really want to start up a challenge. I need people to join. I find that I am most motivated when I am motivating others.

This is more of a weightloss group but if you have other goals just let me know.

Weigh ins will be every Wednesday starting this week.
I will keep the stats and chart them up for everyone

I also believe a little friendly competition always helps.
Therefore the top three winners of most percentage lost will win a fabulous prize either weightloss or health related or maybe Ill get fancy and make tshirts haha

So help yourself and help me stay motivated to lose weight and be healthy over the holiday season.

Post here or message me if you would like to participate. On wednesday we will have everyone's starting weights this gives people time to join. I wont reveal your weight if you dont want me to but I will tell everyone if you have a monumental loss because it should be celebrated.

Thanks guys. JOINME

I'm in! I'm in my third year of grad school, and I've really been struggling to make good decisions vs the easy ones. Knowing that I will have to report myself each week should hopefully help. Thanks for starting this

Man I wish I had a scale, I would love to get a handmade super prize t-shirt. With you all in spirit

determinedcrystal

im totally in but im in another challenge right now and i cant weigh myself for 3 more weeks so il give you what i weighed before i started that challenge i hope you dont mind

andshrinking

Awesome. You guys are the best!
Im charting up the excel with everyone's names.
Be sure to check back in on Wednesday and either post your weight or message it to me.

Thanksgiving is allowed on any diet in my opinion. We have a rule in our house that you can't sit around all day but you can eat whatever you want. We usually go for a long walk. Have done a 5k before
This year I think we will have enough people to play football or something like that
plus the pre cleaning and after cleaning counts as a workout.
Amp it up and do lunges while you vaccum or squats as you dry dishes.
Every little step counts to a munch bigger goal

Plus the way my stepmom cooks thanksgiving and well any food in our house she substitutes so many things.
Let me know if you guys need any healthy recipies for the next months or feel free to share your own tips

andshrinking

dont mind that at all but let me know your final weight. Ill give you an averaged out starting weight so it doesnt messup the stats

I would love to join you! I have been really struggling with my motivation and commitment to this lately and I just feel like giving up sometimes. I have lost about 35 pounds total (27 with MFP) and I would like to lose about 15 to 20 more. I am not even sure what I weigh right now because I haven't weighed myself in a couple of weeks. Too afraid of what all the snacking, late night binging and just flat out free for alls have done to my progress. I usually exercise 6 days a week, but I hurt my knee last week and have not exercied for the last 3 days. I don't know if I will be ready to start again tomorrow or not. I don't want to make things worse. Thanks for letting me join!

I'm a pretty great motivator. I just need to listen to myself sometimes haha. Honestly though any of you can add me Ill accept and Ill be there with you every step of your journey.

Don't make things worse if you are injured that is definetly not a good idea.
If your knee is in pain why not work on some upperbody strength?
Grab some free weights and do curls while your sitting.
Even an old phone book or a jug of milk works
When you have an injury it;s also a great time to work on your posture
Stomach muscles tight and shoulders back whether sitting or standing.
Rest days are perfectly fine.

Thank you
and to everyone else who joined

Hey I'm in if it's still open!

This should be a lot of fun. I am not one to share my weight at all so doing so will definitely hold me accountable and be a first step for me just like joining this site and going public was. I am in the recovery period from surgery right now but trying to get back on track. Hopefully I can do this without anymore setbacks. I hate people who make up lame excuses to get out of doing things that are hard so trust me that I will not do that. I will at the same time be careful and not overdo it until I am sure it is safe. Thanks for letting me be part of this. :flowerforyou:

andshrinking

still open!

I too am recovering from surgery. Headed back, once again, hopefully soon due to some issues Im having. Hopefully I dont get another "just give us 6 more weeks of no exercise"
if that happens all of oyu will be pushed way hard to work out when I cant

Guerita83

Im in!!!!!!!! When is the challenge over or is this an on going weight loss plan, im good with that too

andshrinking

New years day

Keebler145

I would like to be in this group please!! Sounds like fun. I need to be accountable to other people. Thank you!

determinedcrystal

Today is this the day for weigh in!!!

andshrinking

Don't forget to weigh in today. Message me or post on here.
Add me for more motivation

also this group is still open
it will be a disadvantage to join later because you wont have had all the time to lose and put yourself in the top three for a prize, but either way the group will remain open
