hey peoples! i'm wondering if there is anyone out there who would be interested in starting a group for non-moms! the reason i would like to do so is that it seems like many women on here losing are losing post pregnancy weight. well, i don't have that excuse...i'm just losing the weight that my, myself and i put on, eating for one, not two! i don't know if there is any real difference in those kinds of weight loss or not, but it would still like to connect with a group that have gotten overweight on their own, and not through pregnancy. i'm thinking along the lines of the usual group thing...trading tips, celebrating weigh-ins (whether the scale goes up or down!), setting up some weekly or monthly challenges, and of course, offering encouragement and venting grounds! any takers?

  • I'm in! I, also, have put on all that weight all by myself! Like you i have noticed that quite a few women here are mommy and sometimes you feel quite left off.

    And i'm up for some weekly challenges! Gotta get the motivation going!
  • I'm not a mom...and I'd like to be one day after I've gotten into some better shape!!

  • I want in as well. ;D I gained all my weight, alone and need motivation!! :smile:
  • You can count me in! I've put on so much weight after years of fertility treatment etc only to never become pregnant and have it last. I will be a mummy next year when our adopted children finally come home so I may happily leave you then but until then please can I join you? xxx

    rock on, everyone! i'm thinking that this week, we should brainstorm a few challenges for our group. think of some week-longs, some month-longs and some try-to-do-it-every-day ones. how about we just throw some out there over the course of the week, and we'll pick one out to start off with next week? as for weigh-ins, i think you should just stick to whatever day you are currently on. i weigh in on wednesdays myself, but i think it will be cool to have people posting their progress throughout the week instead of all of us on the same day! awe. some. ness!
  • I am in! I need to get motivated and definitely am completely responsible for all the Extra LBs I have on my body!

    Me too! I was dreading this morning only to find out my bad habits lead to a 1.5 lb drop. I'm pretty sure my scale was having an off day! :wink:

    I would love to join!!! No kids here...
