Hey Everyone!

As some of you may know I started the Skinny Christmas Challenge back in June & since it's over now I really want to start another challenge for some of the skinny christmas members as well as new members to keep the motivation going!

I haven't been able to come up with a new for this challenge yet, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

We will have weekly weigh ins on Sunday & the "biggest loser" of the week will be able to set a mini challenge for the group to complete over the course of the week. For example drink a minimum of 8oz of water a day or do 25 extra crunches a day & so on. It doesn't matter what day of the week you weigh yourself as long as it's posted sunday for weigh in. Those who miss three consecutive weigh ins without letting me know ahead of time (in case of vacation, illness, & so on) will be removed from the challenge.

If you want to be a part of the challenge please leave your,
Name:
Starting weigh:
Goal weight:
Non Scale Goal:
& a brief Introduction about yourself:

Starting weight will count as tomorrows weigh-in & the challenge will go from January 15th to June 24th.
Non scale goal can be anything from fitting into a specific size or a specific pair of pants to running a 5K....as long as it's not measured by the number on the scale!

I'm excited to get to know you all & hopefully we can all achieve our goals together!

    YAYYYYYY! I'm in!

    Name: Mel
    Starting Weight (for the challenge): 155
    Goal Weight: 140
    Non-Scale Goal: run 1 mile without stopping and lose 3+ inches off my midsection
    About Me:
    Well, as you can see from the info under my icon, I've been on MFP for a really long time. I struggled immensely because of numerous health issues and side effects of meds and just this past Spring + Summer, I finally managed to find my groove. I lost 40lbs (part of that during the Skinny Christmas Challenge!), but I've since gained 5 back. So, I'm looking to lose these stubborn last 15lbs and to get in control of my eating habits again!

    I'm in!

    Name: Emily
    Starting weight: 227
    Goal Weight: 157
    Non scale goal: Look great for my trip to Mexico this coming summer
    Intro: I have struggled with my weight/self image forever it feels like. I'd kind of given up, gaining 5-10 pounds a year steadily for the past 10 years. I just relocated from Chicago to MA for my husband's job in October and I feel like it's a great time to form new, healthy habits. I really enjoy activity and healthy food and so far (for the past 3 weeks) it's been going very well. I have a "treaddesk" so I walk while I work from home which helps a lot. I'm excited to be part of the challenge!

    Name: Denise
    Starting weigh: 167
    Goal weight: 130

    Non Scale Goal: I have a couple!
    Fitness Goals - Do elliptical for at least 30 minutes straight (can only do 10 minutes)
    Do an hour on treadmill at 4.0 (can do an hour on 3.6)

    Other Goals - To get into a size 10 or 12 dress by my daughters 1st communion in the beginning of May

    About me - I am married to Anthony will be 10 years in October. I have 2 little girls Gabriella 7 and Gionna 5. I have a great job that allows me to work at home but it requires me to sit over 10 hours a day. So exercising is a little challenging. I go to the gym 4 days a week. Love Zumba class. I have never been over 190 pounds but because i am short i always appear extremely heavy. I always loved my sweets, but in September i changed my entire style of eating. Especially after i found out that i had high cholestrol. My cholestrol has come down since i started eating better and exercising. I am a fitbit user and am so glad that MFP finally links up to it. I am so excited about getting started with this challenge and meeting new friends with the same goals.

    Name: Melanie
    Starting weight: 122
    Goal weight: 110
    Non Scale Goal: To look good in clothes without having to hide my belly.
    About yourself: I'm a wife and SAHM of two kids. My daughter will be 10 and my son will be 3 this month. I just turned 30 and made a big move from Detroit to New Hampshire over the summer. Moving put me in a depression and I'm trying hard to get used to my new life. My highest was 160 but I'm only 5'. I'm ready for this challenge so I can look good at a friends wedding in April as well as the rest of my life. =)
