Would anyone like to do a 6 weeks challenge with me? (April 26 - June 7)

12 pounds in 6 weeks? Anyone up for it?

    Been trying, but nothing has given me motivation. So, sure I'll give it a whirl!! If can pull 6 lbs in 6 weeks that will be a start!! Starting weight today is 156.8 lbs.

    sure!! I'm new & never done a challenge either!!! =) good motivation!

    shall we post our starting weights?

    I'm currently 208lbs.

    that means i need to be 196 in 6 weeks!

    OK - What do we do?

    Nothing specific. I'm exercising to Tae Bo and walking. I'm new to this too so if someone else has more suggestions then that's great. I guess we can start off by entering our starting weight as of today. Then enter your goal weight (as of June7). We'll keep track every Monday. Note: I'm working at this too...so I'm going to do my best to make this challenge and hope you do the same!
    Please keep accurate track of your own weigh-ins and also post on here every Monday. I need weights in by 9pm central time tonight and I will make a list! Thanks. I hope this works. Like I said I have never done this before.

    Welcome everyone! For this first week I would like everyone to post at least three goals. These do not have to be weight related. They can be anything. Anything at all!

    Goal #1 - Stay at my calorie goal
    Goal #2 - Exercise everyday at least 15 minutes
    Goal #3 - Get people on board! My husband is reluctantly starting to exercise and eat more healthy! We're getting there.

    My three goals for this week are:
    1 - No treats (I'm not sure if I've ever lasted 7 days without treats, lol)
    2 - Stay within calories
    3 - exercise 5 out of 7 days
