    Aww, love your little dachshund in your profile picture, cgrfxrus! If your dog is anything like my puppy, I'm sure you'll get plenty of exercise. :)

    I'm in! Joining a little late so you folks have a head start, but darn if I won't try to catch up!

    I had hit a plateau and have been lacking motivation for the last month or so -- I was down to maybe 1-2 workouts a week when in the winter I had been going every day, and some old, bad eating habits came back -- so I'm looking forward to getting my *kitten* in gear and seeing some results by July!

    Good luck to everyone! :)

    I'm joining late, but I weigh every Friday already! I updated the spreadsheet with my last weigh-in. Is that it? Thanks for this!

    Two more days til your Friday weigh-in!!! Hope everyone is staying on track and hopefully you’re getting through the mini-challenge with no problems at all (I’m terrible at jumping jacks, but good with everything else). Remember the challenge is the following:

    - Do 25 Jumping Jacks each day
    - Burn 200 calories 3 times per week
    - Drink 8 (8oz) of glasses of water each day

    Also, don’t forget to sign up for the 30 Days Closer to a New You group:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14442-30-days-closer-to-a-new-you

    We had 358 out of 506 people participate for Week 1 (or Week 0 dependent on how you looked at it), so I anticipate that we will definitely get more participation since it will be a little over a week for some of us and I’m sure you’re going to be jazzed about showing your progress!!!

    Let’s add on to that 334 lbs. that we have lost collectively as group!!!

    I started late too. Is the starting weight this month or when I started losing weight in general?

    is the starting weight the starting weight at the start of this months challenge of when you started with MFP? - sorry im a bit silly!

    The spreadsheet started on 5/28 so the intention was to enter in your weight on 5/28 and 3 days later (5/31) and every Friday thereafter you would check-in. The spreadsheet calculates weight lost based on what you entered in for your start date - your last weigh-in. So if you know what your weight was on 5/28 feel free to enter that and the spreadsheet will calculate your loss from 5/28 to 5/31.

    Glad you joined! Let's do this!!!

    I figured I would try this too. Maybe having to record my results will help me behave. :o) Thank you!

    This is a really great challenge. I've been doing the jumping jacks everyday and drinking water. Burning 200kcal has been a bit more difficult, but have been trying. Even though it's not much, it's a lot more than I've been doing so far and it feels good!
    What will the mini challenge be for next week :D
    I also like the little comments in the spread sheet, so much love ^^

    I'm pleasantly surprised that my weight went down this week. Yay! This has actually motivated me on a couple of days to get up and exercise :)

    HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!

    It’s a wonderful day to weigh-in and so far the numbers are staggering!!! We already have 21% participation, and in one week those that have already logged their numbers have lost close to 200lbs.. for an average of 1.7 lbs. per person. If you add that number on to what was lost in 3 days prior we have lost over 500 lbs.! Can you believe it! 79% have yet to weigh-in for this week. I’m dumbfounded*!!! Ya think we can lose a ton** before the end of the month?

    So let’s see these number roll in!

    Don’t forget to join the group:

    - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/14442-30-days-closer-to-a-new-you

    And Tiff (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tiffypooh2u) posted a new challenge here:

    - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1011914-6-7-13-announcement-and-challenge

    It’s an awesome idea! And I think will be that little extra to keep everyone accountable and support reaching their goal!

    Let’s do this!!! Happy Weigh-In Friday!!!!!



    * Not hard to do and quite common for me :)
    ** 2000 lbs. for those that skipped elementary school :):)
