    I would love to join too! Im on the edge to not be overweight anymore, but this mean that the last pounds are really har for me to loose and I think I might have something in my self trying to stop me, since i have always been big and it is "part of me". I dont want it to be like that anymore and I hope this chanllange can help me come over this hurdle ^^

    Add me in! I have roughly 8 lbs to go to get to ONDERLAND and I told myself I wanted it done before this year is out. So, why not? However, I usually only weigh in once a month because I'm older and I have a lot of fluctuations with hormones and such. Hope that's ok.

    All the best to everyone doing this challenge!

    I'm in too. I'm with ya. That's a lot of work for me, but i can dig it. I'm 28 years old, had my last baby about 9 months ago and i wan't my clothes back!! I've been here since about march of this year and I'm a stay at home mom, and college student. i try to exercise everyday with Sunday as an exception. I'm willing to push myself hard and love the results no matter what.

    You got it- when are we weighing in? Great goal! 1.8 lbs per week- we have exactly 5 weeks starting today!

    All what is your workout plans this week? (I teach Zumba so except for the Aqua, my body is very adapted to these classes)

    Tonight- I teach a kids Zumba class- (low impact for me) and meeting a friend to work chest/back -weight training
    Tomorrow- teach Zumba (reg class)
    Wed- teach 2 Aqua Zumba classes
    Thursday- teach 1 Aqua Zumba class, and have committed to another gym member to take the Body Pump class after
    Friday- rest/recovery
    Saturday- Zumba and lifting- legs

    Sunday- play with grandson
    enough cardio to wear out anyone!

    I'm in too. I set my goal to lose 8 lbs from Thanksgiving to Christmas which is about a month. So 9 lbs by end of year should be okay. I have a total of 50 lbs to lose, I started this week, lost 3 so far. 47 to go :( but I will get there, I know I will.

    i gained some weight last month when i was sick, about 4 or 5 pounds. i was a little discouraged like you but its not a big deal. the best thing to do is think long term. think that your lifestyle includes eating right and lots of exercise for the rest of your life. then the little bumps in the road will be no big woop.

    Count me in! I'm scared about Christmas though, it always goes out of the window :(

    We are having a party for NYE at my husband's parents house and I would LOVE to be able to get in the hot tub and NOT feel insecure.

    I'm in this with you, feel free to add me, anyone! Will be slightly harder as I've not been ABLE to eat anything fatty due to gallstones and pancreatitis, but having my gallbladder removed the week before Christmas so plan on having a little indulgence over Christmas!
    That being said though, I'm still up for giving this a really good go!

    :)
