    Shari - Great to hear from you! I've definitely been suffering from lack of motivation as well. Since I'm new here and my fiancee is attending school we are working on getting a spouse card for me so I can use the University gym for free. It's been a bit of a pain so it's been almost a week since I've had some good exercise. Never fear though! I think we've figured out the bureaucracy and should have a gym card in hand tomorrow. If it works, I'm totally doing my cardio at the pool!

    Teresa - Congrats lady! What kind of challenge are you doing with squats and crunches? Maybe I'll attempt it in the coming week as a weekly challenge to see if I can keep up ;-).

    Alright everyone, make sure you send me your weights by 10:00 PM ET tomorrow night! Until them, keep up the good work and check in so we all know what's going on in your weight loss lives!

    Hello Ladies,
    I didn't make it to the gym this week, partly due to financial reasons. As I stated earlier, I had been doing physical therapy. They will allow me to continue to come workout on their equipment, but now I have to pay a monthly fee. I have some equipment at home, so justifying spending money is hard. I can't justify that right now. Maybe next week...

    I am also interested in hearing about the squat and crunch challenges. I've been doing cardio work at home (less than I would like...) I need to add some strength and toning items.

    Hubby took me for Mexican after Bible Study last night. I expected I would be retaining water this morning, but apparently not - weigh-in 262. (I'll weigh-in on Thursday for this group, however, I'm going to keep my official weigh-in day as Friday - if you wonder why my ticker hasn't changed.)

    Karen,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I hope you weren't injured and that you are feeling better soon.

    Congratulations on your loss.

    Hello everyone. As I read down through your posts, I am already inspired and encouraged by the positive approach so many are taking to battling this beast we all are facing. I am going to work hard to join in with you. I bought a new set of scales this past weekend, and as I faced judgment, I knew it was time to stop *****footing around and get serious. I will need support, but I also know I can do this... without going under the knife to do it. My goal weight is 165!

    Hello Everyone!

    Thanks to all who have made an effort to update your weight with me! I'm only waiting on Karen and Rachel right now and they have all night so the chart should go up on time tonight! I will post a link to a brand new thread for the week here and the updated chart will be the first post on that thread. Throughout the week feel free to check that thread and update everyone on how things are going!

    To the newbies, welcome! I'll close the group in the next thread so we don't get too big. Make sure you update your weights with me via private massage or the weekly thread every Thursday night by 10:00 pm EST. Also, check in and write on the thread as much as you'd like! I'll friend you all as soon as I get you on the chart so look for that too! Yay!

    You guys all rock!
