    Wow, that was fast! I hope we get a group who can help each other through this. I was on the biggest loser competition at work, and won. 37 pounds in 15 weeks...so I know I can do it. it's been 10 months since that competition, and I've gained all but 11 pounds back! I'm ready to re dedicate myself to make a permanent life change. Welcome to the group. All suggestions are welcome!

    I'm in too. Just joined mfp a few days ago and still exploring. This forum sounds like it would be a good fit for my goals. currently eating healthy and walking 2-3 miles a day.

    Ok, Ladies, I'm gonna try to post a daily challenge for all of us. Hopefully this will get us moving. Some of you are already walking and that is awesome! I just started this yesterday, so my metabloism is basically non existent! This challenge will kick start our day. This will get your heart pumping, and hopefully you'll enjoy it too! 10 minutes of cardio with one of my favorite guys, Paul Eugene. So here's the link.

    Add Me to the list. Is there a start point...because I have already set Mine and I have set a goal date (18 Months from Sept 1, 2010). But I have actually already started but My weigh-in on that day will be My "Official" start time. Thanks for the Post, this is a Major Challenge and I hope to stay positive, and be a very positive voice in the Group. Thanks

    I guess we all need to post a weigh in date. How about we all weigh in on Fridays and post our progress?! I know it's only 2 days away, but it's all good...it's just a starting point. Good luck everyone, and the video was awesome...woke me up from my comatose state..LOL :0)

    Right now My Fitness Journal is Private; I am thinking about opening it up to Friends...that would be Members who have decided to do this challenge. What do you think?

    Value me: I think that would be great! Go take a look at mine. Believe me it's nothing to brag about. I ate enough yesterday for 3 days!! I think opening your page up to your friends would be one way for all of us to be accountable to each other. I know it really helps me to know if I eat that twinkie, my friends will tell me about it!! LOL We are all here to help and support each other, I know I need it, and I need all you guys!

    FYI, I just opened mine up to my friends. If we all add each other as our friends, we can keep up with each other.
    If you don't know how to change your profile, you go to your home page, click on account settings, diary settings, diary sharing, and choose "friends only". :0)

    Count me in too. My food diary is open for my friends to see and to evaluate how I'm doing. As far as the weigh in - I only weight myself every 4 weeks. I was becoming to obsessed with the scale and this way I stay motivated to keep on eating right and exercising.

    Is there going to be any particular name for this group so it's easy to find on the message boards?

    Right now it's "Join me...100 pounds to lose!" Think that would be easy to find? You could go to my profile and look under my recent forum posts. I only have this one, so that will probably be the easiest way to find it!

    Everyone who has joined this Group can expect a Friend message from Me or I will expect one from You All. I Love this concept and I look forward to the Support and feedback. Someone should come up with a Name for the Group so we will know what Topic to open each day or if a Group Member wants to make a Post relative to informing the Group about something.

    I would love to join the group. I have a hard time remembering that I am a group member though. I will try to be a part of this. Glad I am not alone. Feel free to friend me everyone.

    Maybe along with a weekly weigh in we should do a weekly goal for ourselves? I'm excited to get home and check out that link you put as the challenge today!

    SIgn me up. I have more than 100 pounds to lose, but it's a good place to start! I'd love to be part of a group that hold me accountable. My journal is open to friends because I think it'll help to hold me accountable. I've had success already and it's only been 1 1/2 weeks. I'm anxious to see what we can do when we work together!! Everyone feel free to add me as a friend!
