    Hi Folks!
    I would love to join this group. I'm planning to do a 50 mile bike ride in May to raise money for multiple sclerosis support and research. So I need to get into better shape. I've been trying to lose the same 20 pounds for over a year, so I need the extra motivation of a group.

    I may be the most senior person here! I'm 55, but I plan to stay healthy and active for as long as possible.

    April 30: 165!!!

    Not too shabby considering all the junk I've eaten! Next week will be rough, also. I have yet another family gathering. Fortunately it is with the side of my family that introduced me to MFP, so hopefully we will have better choices! Next week I probably won't be able to weigh in until Sunday or Monday (since I'll be out of town), but we'll see!

    Welcome to all of you who've joined us in the last couple days!

    We just got a Wii and Wii Fit+ for Christmas, so my goal for the next week is to get that set up (today) and "play" on it for 30 to 60 minutes everyday. What is your goal for the week?

    I would like to join your group also. I am a CPA and tax season is right around the corner. I started my weight loss challenge about 1 month ago to get into the habit of exercising and eating right before tax season begins. There is usually junk food in the office, late nights, and often no lunch so I will be extremely challenged. Looking forward to losing weight with all of you.

    I would like to join! Currently I haven't been doing so good, but I'm trying to get back on track. I graduate college on April 30 and would like to be close or at my goal by then. So this group should be help out a lot. I've join groups and I haven't gone back to update them but this one I will try to come back to. I started the couch to 5k last week. I'm out of shape so its going to take me longer to get to use running.

    Sooo glad I decided to get back to mfp. This challenge would be huge motivation to stay on track. I am growing rounder all the time. School and kids takes all my time. I need to re-prioritize and make getting at least 30 min of exercise a day a top priority.

    Great idea. I'd like to join. My starting weight is 209. I need a lot of encouragement, but I'll give it a good try. Going on a cruise on January 24, which could be bad.

    I would love to join the group! I am going on a cruise in March so I need to shed at least 1o lbs by then. I really want to keep myself accountable and actually stick with it this time. I am so sick of making excuses and not achieving my goals.

    Does anyone have any challenge ideas for this week? In order to stay motivated and accountable it would be nice if people came up with weekly challenges. If anyone has any ideas please share. While I never thought I was competitive I'm realizing I have somewhat of a competitive spirit and I really need to stay focused.

    April 30: Goal 169 (1.5 lb average loss per week)

    Was out of town over Christmas and could not weigh in, so I'm using today's weight as my 12/25 weight. Did not do well over Christmas (obviously) -- ate poorly, too many sweets, too much sodium, not enough fiber, not enough water, not enough exercise... plus I'm having a horrendous cycle this month... but I'm back on track today. Going for 16 cups of water/day for the next few days to really flush out my system, cleaning up my diet, and getting in some extra exercise (finishing up level 2/moving up to level 3 of the 30 day shred in the morning, doing an extra level 1 session in the evening for the week). Hopefully weigh in on Wednesday will be better after a little detox!

    I think it might of been a previous challenge but since it was around the holiday it may have been difficult for people to committ to so I'm game to have it be this week's challenge. If this is the case, then the challenge has already been accomplished today. I completed 45 minutes of Jillian Michael's boost metabolism dvd.

    Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is ready to kick it into overdrive for 2010.
