    I'm in!!! I think 20 is a bit ambitious for me, but it'll give me a goal and something to aim for and give me some motivation!!!

    I'd love to be 170 by Halloween! I don't know if I'll actually be able to make it, since I'm doing more of a "slow and steady" approach, but I would really like to have a group to be accountable to, and to celebrate with.

    I'm in! :D

    Ive been doign the slow and steady approach too.. Ive been working out a little more.. but other than that its been coming off slow.. Wheather I accomplish it or not, I will be happy.. Any weight melting off between now and then is better than nothing.. :) You never know you may exceed your expectations.. :)

    I'd love to be a part of your group!! My goal is to lose 10 lbs. a month for the first 3 months anyway! (I just started last week) I figure even if I don't quite reach my goal, it's a great goal and I'd be happy with whatever I lost!! :smile: I'm 192 right as of yesterday (I like to weigh in on Fridays) so that would put me at 172 - I haven't been there in 5-6 years!! That would be fantastic!! :heart:

    Sounds like good goal to me.. Mines been close to 10 pounds a month.. Been losing about 2 to 3 pound a week.. Which is cool.. :) Im taking a nice approach at my goal..

    I'm in also! I would love to lose at least 20 by Halloween!
    Current weight: 232
    Goal by Halloween: 212

    I'm so excited! But, I'm def going to need support. I have been having SUCH a hard time. But, I am starting the 30 day shred, so, hopefully, if I stick with it, this will be an attainable goal! Good luck!

    Thats what we are here for is to support you.. Sometimes you just need someone to help you along the way.. we will be here to struggle along with you.. :)

    Count me in as well! Like others said, it's good to be held accountable. I'm going to start trying to do the p90x, just not at their pace quite yet since I know I'm not at that level. Once it starts gettting easier then I'll follow their actual routine!

    April, thank you much for sharing my friend's link with your group here -- my current mini-goal is also to lose 20lbs by Halloween, so I figured anyone on Facebook might be interested in more support, in a couple of different groups, with the exact same goal. My friend would welcome more group members without a doubt!

    Also, to plug my own group a little bit, lol, I would love to invite all of you to join a Facebook group that I created, called Motivation. Many friendly, positive, encouraging and helpful people and posts over that way! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=268180696780&ref=ts

    Best wishes on your fitness journey, everyone! I hope we're all determined enough for every one of us to reach our goal!! :)

    ~ Chandra

    Please add me. 20 pounds by Halloween is a great goal. That would put me at 203. My original goal was 30 pounds by Thanksgiving so that would by a great start. Please add me.

    That is one of my problems....I don't like water at all.....Any suggestions... Yes I am on Synthroid also... 175mcg....It was like an automatic 30 pds gained.... Very hard to get off... And with the tiredness of the hypothyrodism, it makes it really hard to get up and excercise.....Anyway, this is great... love the website it does make one acountable...

    Poirei,
    I add crystal light to my water...the cherry one..when I am just not in the mood for water I use this. I also take Synthroid daily and get tired. I have to exercise in the mornings or I wont do it because I am too tired by the time I get home.
    I am excited about this challenge to get me going in the morning!!

    I sooo would LOVE to join!! I need the support more than anything and I need help keeping myself accountable. (Like reminders to post my food intake!) I am trying to at least lose 20 by then. I want to go from my current 318 to 300. Then go down from there.
