edited January 22 in Motivation and Support
I have been searching through the boards trying to find a group to join. Then thought to myself.....start your own. So that is what I am going to do.
I am starting a CrossFit program today. And would like a group to support me in it (NO you do not have to be doing CrossFit) . I will do different challenges through out the week. I have a spreadsheet for keeping track of different daily activities.

This will be a place to come for support and motivation. A place to be held accountable! :smile:

Start weight:April 30th: (I will post mine later, I am going to weigh in on Tue's at 6p)
Starting inches:
End of May goal weight: 165#
End of June goal weight: 155#
Ultimate goal weight: 135#

Because as our bodies change we may not loose pounds but inches so we will also do measurements April 30th, May 28th and June 25th.
When measuring measure:
Neck
shoulders
chest
biceps (both)
forearms (both)
waist
hips
thighs (both)
calves (both)

Weekly weigh in:
May 7th
May 14th
May 21st
May 28th
June 4th
June 11th
June 18th
June 25th

I also suggest taking before and after pictures. We may not feel a difference but others can always see what we don't so why not have a picture (that's worth a 1000 words) to show your progression!!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO POST HERE. Just keep to yourself or if you wish you can post here.

    Good morning! Welcome! Nice to see you here! If you can send me an off line message with your email address so I can send you the spreadsheet.
    Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

    TODAYS CHALLENGE:
    Send a message with your struggles. What is hardest for you and what is easiest for your during weight loss.

    For me, the easiest is to drink my water. I personally drink upwards of 1 gallon daily.....except weekends that is a bit tough.
    the hardest is to stay focused and motivated. I am a results oriented person....I know I shouldn't but I am a scale junkie and weigh in daily. So if I see the same few pounds come and go over and over I get discouraged.....

    OK off to get breakfast.
    Have a wonderful day!

    Excellent--I like this idea! I could use some accountability.

    Start weight: 135
    Current Weight: 129
    Goal Weight: I don't know! Possibly somewhere around 120?

    I really like the idea of small attainable goals...I've never done anything like that before.

    Good morning! Sorry I have been MIA. It has been crazy busy here. I also just realized I never entered my starting weight. I believe it was 176# and this weeks weight well I didn't do it. :( My days have run into one another. I will do it tonight.

    Todays Challenge:
    Keep track of your steps. If you don't have one get a cheap pedometer.
