    I usually do my weigh ins on Thursday so I'll post that on the following Monday if that's alright with everyone. I really like the Monday weigh in idea though. I'm in a March challenge right now but come April I'm switching my weigh in day for sure!

    Great job to those who were able to weigh in this week. We will officially start next week with weigh ins.
    On a side note my scale should be here tomorrow so cross your fingers for me and hope that I am not over my estimated weight.

    Hey all,

    I would like to join too! I am 29 and weigh 250 lbs. I started at 265 so I have lost 15lbs so far. I like this site because it makes you accountable for your food intake. I don't have the baby excuse though, I just have the fat and lazy one. I look forward to meeting everyone and following along here. Good Luck to everyone!

    @Jenn: My scale came in today. YAY! I weighed in at 245.2 lbs...so I was really close to my estimate of 250. Also, I have been following the site for 5 or 6 days so I am not sure how much I actually lost and how much was just from my overestimate.

    @Shellrock: Welcome to the group! My excuse is also being fat and lazy and food is good. LOL! 15lbs is an awesome start though! I am trying to make sustainable changes to my lifestyle so my exercise is still minimal (30 mins of walking 3 days a week).

    I'd like to join- Jennifer, 27 and 230 lbs. This is my first week with mfp and everyone has me very excited. Not looking to see results right away. Just started exercising (after years of being lazy) and tyring to keep my calories in check. Once I start building better habits, then I hope to start seeing some change~!

    Welcome to the group Star Stuck and Tennisref! Official weigh ins start next Monday!

    @Tennis: I just started about 6 days ago and adding in your daily calories and stuff is so easy. I actually seem to have more energy and have been less down since I started. This is the first time that has happened and I feel really motivated and I changed my weight goal from 180 to 150 so I will be in the healthy zone according to BMI.

    Welcome to the group! 150 is also my goal weight...then I will be considered healthy according to BMI. Can't wait for that day, but if I continue it should take around a year to get down to that weight if I consistently loose 2lbs a week. A year to loose 100lbs seems doable and actually not too long considering how long it took me to put on this much weight (23 years) lol.

    I think we can all do it. I have recently started running with an old friend from high school. I live in GA and she lives in NV but we have each made a goal. She wants to eventually run a triathalon and I want to run a marathon. I started running with this program on coolrunnings.com. You first have to be able to run three miles straight to start to train for a 5K, which is my first mini goal. The program is running three miles Tues, Wed, Thurs, Sat run 2 miles, and Sun run 3 again. I have made it through till today so I am way excited. Does anyone else like to run? Any suggestions about technique, breathing, anything? I hope everyone has a great day!

    Wow you have quite a rigorous workout schedule. Not sure how you do it! I think I need to find an exercise I actually enjoy. I will probably just stick with walking around my neighborhood at least for now. But it is awesome that you found something that motivates you!
