Thanks for joining me!
As you know, I have set a personal goal to lose at least 25 pounds by January 1, 2013. I aim to lose 5 pounds each month, from August through December, and I aim to keep it off! Let's band together and reshape ourselves for the New Year! Please feel free to use this Group to discuss anything that is relevant to 25NYS. And don't forget to network with others that are doing this challenge, too! Success comes with support and inspiration - so let's motivate each other!
Remember, everyone's body responds to diet and exercise differently, so don't stress if you don't see results right away. A day at a time, and bit by bit. I welcome all invites, so add me if you'd like a new friend: Pudgebrownie (But you can call me Pudge).

this challenge has so far! Hip hip hooray!

I've gained around 13 lbs in the last 2 weeks but I have not reset my weight because I don't want to get congratulated on losing the same pounds. I will have to work harder to get them off. Hoping some is sodium/water since I just came back from vacation. ;o)
