    Jess, sounds great! Keep up with us and you'll go far. (That sounds like a cheesy line from a movie, doesn't it???)

    Rhiannon, I think not focusing on the scale but focusing on a pair of jeans is somehow easier for me. And it's SO REWARDING to get in those jeans. I have done this a couple times now and I LOVE IT. I was dancing around my room night before last in a bunch of clothes from high school that fit. :blushing: However, I need to either lose more or tone better 'cause that mama-gut is NOT cute in my high school clothing!! nono.gif

    It's a happy day for me, folks. YAY!!!! I need all the happy days I can get!

    Welcome Kelly!!

    A little background for the newest members:
    Kristin (Kistinbee) is our fearless leader. However, being halfway through her first pregnancy (a baby sixer!! haha), her goals are to GAIN and not LOSE, lol.

    And me? I'm just a crazy nut who avoids work by posting here non-stop. You actually might see less of me after I'm laid off (displacement job end date of Friday, May 22) because I won't be avoiding work, :laugh: . I'm newly separated, 27 y/o with a 3.5 y/o (going on 14) diva extraordinaire, currently living at home in Mom & Dad's House for the NonCriminally Insane. Life's crazy for me. I recently starting running and just did my personal best of running a whole 1.25mi without stopping yesterday! Woot woot!!

    So Jess and Kelly, give us a little background on you!!

    Seriously -- this group has been the motivating factor in keeping me losing weight. No lie. Without this group, I'd have given up a while back, I just know it.

    Welcome Deb, Kellie and Jess! :flowerforyou:

    These are a great group of women! I am returning to the group after an absence due to health issues. I am still having health issues but need to get back on the wagon now!!! I cant think of a better way to do that then right here! Right now!

    Got on the scale this morning and just about :sad: Oh well, I will get there. I want to lose 12 pounds on this challenge. 2 pounds per week. Starting weight is 202. Goal weight will be 190.

    Deb, welcome :flowerforyou: Your goal weight is for the end of the 6 weeks and I assume you've listed your over-all. Or it better be... as resident personal trainer I'll give you heck if you try to lose 30 lbs in 6 weeks!! :laugh: :wink:

    AHA! I hadn't looked... you're right Lauryn, Kelly - don't even THINK about it :wink: lol

    Okay well, I need to stop "popping on" to the computer now. Our provincial elections are taking place today and there's a voting system referendum as well. Got to get out there and make my opinions COUNT! ...then buy some salmon :laugh:

    TTYL damsels! :wink:

    Morning / Afternoon Ladies. :flowerforyou:

    Welcome Newbies!!! :flowerforyou: This group is great... a real motivational bunch :bigsmile:

    I have decided that this challenge is going to be less about weight for me, although I hope the changes I make will help me get rid of a few pesky lbs... :laugh: ...I think I may measure too... because I bet I will see more results in that area w/ the new workout routine.... tonight is cardio kick boxing...:bigsmile: So basically this challenge is all about sticking with my workouts... and staying AWAY from fast food ... no more take out... big macs... subs etc... I eat great all week and then the weekend comes and I eat out every meal!!!! and all my hard earned lbs... come right back... SO other than 1 dinner or lunch per week (dinner out with the BF... or at a sox game) I WILL NOT eat out... hopefully this will save me money and calories... beyond that it is not even about the calories... but all the sodium... and other crazy preservatives etc... they put in it... it just can't be good for you... beyond weight ... sorry for the rant girls... but i really think these last 20 / 30 lbs are going to cling to me forever if i don't make some real changes... :flowerforyou: ....


    :heart: pdx. so glad you are back!!! :flowerforyou:

    Redsox...measuring is great! I used to do this! Sometimes I wouldn't be losing pounds, but I'd be losing inches. Especially good when you're building muscle!

    Lauryn...thanks for the introduction. Yep...I'm the preggo on the site and will try my best to motivate you all even though I'm watching the scale go up!:laugh:

    Amy...I'm so glad you're back!!!:drinker:

    Rhiannon...mmmmm...salmon!:tongue:

    All other newbies....welcome!:flowerforyou:

    And all my other gals...hope you've had a good morning so far!
