How do I join the new group? I click on the join the group but it does not do anything. Please help. Thanks

Hi there! Was looking for a challenge forum that was actually active...thank you! I'm from Canada, have 2 great kids and a wonderful husband. I'm a stay at home mom with interests in all things artistic. I love food. I recently read Tosca Reno's The Eat Clean Diet, Recharged and I think it's going to change my life. I can eat a pile of food and still lose weight. Learning to eat to fuel my body.
I love watching Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, Brad Meltzer's Decoded, Ancient Aliens and of course, Duck Dynasty LOL!!!!! I pvr my shows because I never know when I will get a chance to watch them.
I have dreams of visiting Europe one day and unlike many people, I could live without my blackberry. I don't sugar-coat anything and I tend to talk like a sailor when my kids aren't around.
I started eating clean on Feb. 20th and I weighed 164.6lbs that day. My measurements certainly weren't pleasing either.
I have entered my planned meals for tomorrow and workouts for the week. If I miss a workout, its quicker to delete it than to add it on. I tend to eat a lot of the same stuff during a week but that is because I prepare it all at the beginning of the week.

I hope everyone stays on track and stays accountable. I know I will try my hardest!

What you should know about me is that I am on a journey to lose up to 100 lbs. While I may not log my food on here regularly I can assure you that I am 110% on top of things and more motivated than ever. I am in love with my Isagenix products that I use on a daily basis and I also use my Polar Fitness Watch to track absolutely everything (which is why you may not see too much action from me on here). I'd rather spend my time at the Gym for an extra 20-30 min (I am there for 2-3hrs daily during the week) than repeat all of my food/exercise amongst various sites! I am in this whole heartedly and am ready to see what the next few months and year have in store for me!

:happy: Hello!! My name is Niki and I'm a total dork/nerd. I live in SW Florida. I moved down here 10 years ago from the Detroit area to get away from the cold. I LOVE summer. Hot and humid weather are a must. My favoritest color is red. I have a 9 (almost 10) year old little girl who is my life. She has Asperger's which can be quite a challange. We are total animal lovers. We have 2 cats, a bearded dragon, and a ball python.

I work nights full time as a critical care secretary (thats my actual job title... I'm more like an unlicensed LPN), and I'm going to school full time to be a respiratory therapist. I have one year of school left and between school, clinicals, work, and my munchkin I need more hours in day. I don't have much free time for hobbies right now. When I do find some extra minutes, I like to shoot my bow, fish, and I game. I do tabletop gaming, console gaming, and I also play computer MMORPG games. Right now I'm playing Star Wars the Old Republic, and Lord of the Rings Online. I like to make bead,hemp/macrame jewelry and I want to learn to crochet. I also love to read, but with school I feel bad if I read anything not education related so thats kind of been put on hold until my breaks between semesters.

Weight loss... I've been having such problems with my weight since I quit smoking 3 years ago. I had joined the new year new you group hoping to lose about 30 pounds in the 10 weeks. I may have aimed a bit high, I'm going to probably miss my goal by about 5-10 pounds. I'm still thrilled that I am losing. This time around I'm going to set my goal a little lower at maybe 15-20 pounds, and I'm still going to work my butt off (literally). I am about 40 pounds away from my goal weight right now. I would love to hit that by July, but I'm not going to stress too much.

I love meeting people with common intersts and goals. I love hearing success stories. They keep me motivated knowing it can be done. :happy:

Hi, I am a mother of 5 children. I am sick of saying that I will lose it this year. This is my year and I would love to be in this group. I enjoy exercising, but love me some treats. I would love it, if I could lose at least 15 pounds by Summer. I know that might not be realistic, but I feel if I record everything in my food journal and stay within my numbers I can do this. Sorry about my ramblings. I like playing games with my husband and kids. My favorite color is blue. Thanks for starting this group, maybe it will kick me in the right direction andI will just do it this time.

Hello!!

My name is Alexis and I am from Nevada. I am living in Hawaii for the next few years and then I will move back to somewhere in the mainland. I am 25 years old and decided I need to get the rest of this weight off. I gained tons of weight in college and have since decided I refuse to live my life unhealthy. I was vegetarian for 5 years and have in the last few months gone vegan. I am loving it! I not only feel better but I know I am eating better than ever. There are bad foods for vegans so I have eaten bad foods and my weight loss has stopped so I am currently going back to clean eating. I am trying to eat more raw veggies and less processed foods. It is all a transition and I will be healthy!!

I enjoy running, I am currently training for my marathon and later next year I plan to do a triathlon. I enjoy working out, hiking, reading, swimming and lounging on the beach.

On this challenge I hope to lose 15 lbs, which is a lot as I am nearing my goal weight. I am currently 145 lbs and by the time the challenge starts I hope to be around 142. My overall goal weight is around 120 but I am also going to listen to my body and not pay as much attention to the scale.

If anyone would like go add me as a friend, I always like new friends whom are ready to make a better lifestyle change for the better of their life.

Hey There! My name is Melonee. I live in Southern California. I just joined the Grandma club. I lost almost 60 pounds two years ago and gained every pound back. I lost it the right way, through diet and exercise. The problem was I did not have a maintenance program. Well if I did it once, I can do it again. Thanks for this challenge. This is the kind of motivation I look for. I am currently doing a 21 day cleanse with a friend - to help motivate her. It's hard but I know I can do it.
My favorite color is earth tones and orange/reds

I work fulltime and am a part time studen pursuing my Master's Degree in Public Administration (although I really wanna be a real estate mogul). I'm on this journey to look and feel better during the summer months. I have a trip planned for June 5 to Cancun and I would like to be beach ready. It will be a confidence booster. I have about 60 more lbs to lose. I doubt that I can lose that kind of weight (responsibly) by then but I would like to tone and lose inches. I'm glad to be on this journey with you all.
